BRooKLYN, January 1.-THE
great trolley strike is still on, but
there arc indications that it will be-
soon ended. One company, that
which operates the Dekalb avenue
line, came to terms with its men and
Its cars were i'll full operation to-
day. Another company opened
negotiations with its employees and
an earl settlement is expected.
This much the men have gained.
On the other hand the other CON-
panles have operated the three lines,
which were opened yesterday, the
Flntbush, Fifth Avenue and the
Court Street lines and added the
Putuam Avenue and Halsey Street
limo to tho list. Cars were run on
the last line under great difficulties
from 30 p. III. until p. m, when
it was thought best to stop them, as
mob OF over 1000 persons sur
rounded tho company's stables.
Not n car was moved in the east
arn or southern part OF the city,
Some forty lines arc still tied up
aud ut nightfall cars were stopped
on all lines except the Dekalb ave-
nue. and Jay street lineB, which
were tho only lines operated without
police protection throughout tho
day.
There were more instances of in
terference Of the cars by the strikers
than on any day since Monday, and
the police had their hands full. Cara
were held up, windows smashed and
green mOtormen and conductors nc.
snulted. The police used their clubs
freely and captured half dozen
men and one woman from the mobs
of stone throwers.
Mayor Schiren was appealed to
by the executive committee repre-
senting the strikers, and asked to
compel the companies to operate
their roads or forfeit their charters.

THE FARMING WORLD.
STARTING AN ORCHARD.
The Work of Preparation and the Prope
Planting of Trees.

The Work OF Preparation and the Proper
Planting of Trees.
The ground for an orchard should be
wellanddeeply cultivated, andfree from
weeds, well drained, if the soil requires
it, and most soils are better for drain
ing except sandy or light gravelly soils
with a light subsoil. Such land may not
require draining, but in every cas- it
should be well worked and pulverized
and enriched before planting The
work OF preparation must be done dur
ing the summer, SO as to be ready for
fall or spring planting. Planting in the
spring is preferred, which Will enable
the trees to take firm hold OF the earth
and to resist the frost of next winter.
but planting may be done successfully
in the autumn by protecting the trees
so as to prevent the frost from heaving
or misplacing them.
Select young, healthy and vigorous
trees, and from a reliable nurseryman,
and if possible from a soil similar to
that in which you intend to plant your
orchard. The different kinds of apples
will depend upon your w choice and
the suitability of soil and climate. 1
should advise that the selection bemade
from the old, tried and reliable kinds.
The distance apart should not be less
than 80 feet, so as to allow the trees
room to spread their branches and TO
form a low and spreading head. Close
planting has 4 tendency to force the
trees 10 run up and preventing the
fruit from obtaining its proper color
ing from the sun, and making it more
difficult to gather the fruit. At the dis
tance of 81 feet apart it will require
90 trees to the acre. Before planting
the tree, remove all bruised and broken
roots by cutting clean with a sharp
knife. Lay out your ground in straight
lines, SO hat your trees will be in line
each way and at equal distances, so feet
apart.-William Gray, in Farmers Re-
view.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Use the best and finest manure in the
garden.
1t is not easy to make the soil too rich
for gardening.
Parsnips are considered the better for
a little freezing.
Never take large limbs from a tree
when it can be avoided.
Unbleached wood ashes are one of the
best fertilizers for grapes.
4 mound of earth around the base Of
a tree will protect it from mice.
Trim the raspberries by cutting out
all dead wood and unthrifty canes.
A part of the food of plants comes
from the atmosphere; the rest from the
soil.
Save all of the wood ashes. They are
valuable to use as a top dressing in the
garden.
If trees or plants are neglected The
results will hardly prove satisfactory,
but with good management fruit grow
ing may readily be made profitable.
In nearly all cases it will be better
economy to grub out trees that are
stunted and sickly than try to restore
them TO yigor.-St. Louis Republic

COLD STORAGE PLANTS.
They Should BE Established In Every
Fruit-Growing Locality.

They Should BE Established In Every
Fruit-Growing Locality.
Anent the recent progress in the mat
ter OF prolongiug the season of fruits
by means of cold storage, Prof. Craig,
of the experiment farm at Ottawa, Ont,
thinks hat the time may soon COME
when winter apples may not be a neces-
sity, as fall apples can be kept in per-
feet condition until the next summer.
This is entirely practicable, but as win
ter apples are quite as easily grown as
summer or autumn apples, there seems
no need of dispensing with either. At
the Columbian exposition in the New
York fruit exhibit there were shown
at the opening of the exposition and for
some weeks after perfect specimens of
the Sweet Bough, Sour Bough, Fall Pip
pin, Round Sweet and others, and they
kept as long after being removed from
the cold storage as they would have
kept in the summer or fall without nav
ing beer thus stored. In other words,
contrary to the generally accepted idea,
the cold storage in no way impaired
their keeping qualities. 1t would GER
tainly be very pleasant to be able to
have a supply of Primate, Chenango,
Strawberry, Gravenstein and Fall Pip
pin through the winter. The problem
TO solve is TO make central cold storage
plants in f~ruit-growing neighborhoods,
where business enough can be secured
TO make them profitable. operated by
the ammonia process. Ice methods will
not answer. To fill the modern demand
they must be able to freeze fresh meats,
fish and poultry in n room, while
keeping fruit at a temperature of 80 de-
grees Fahrenheit in another. 1t is dona
successfully now in large cities.
