ownership Of q Line Tree.

A case has been tried in Philadelphia
as to the ownership of tree ON the line
between two properties. 1t was a maple
tree, two-thirds OF the trunk being on

Of the one threatening to cut the tree
away. This is presumpti''e proof that
the tree started on the property of the
one objecting to the trees destruction.
As the one desiring to cut it away per.
mitted its growth to extend within his

Apple Orchards.

Summer and early fall varieties OF
northern or European origin succeed
equally as well as Southern Seedlings,
but the latter are the only reliable varie-
ties for late fall and winter. Northern
winter varieties seldom retain their
fruit we'll here after August, as it de-
Gays and falls from the tree during that
month. Some native varieties that keep
we'll, when grown in the upper sections
Of Georgia and Alabama, fail to retain
their keeping qualities when cultivated
in the lower or middle sections of these
states. For orchards and long lived
trees, plant only standards, grown by
either being budded or grated upon
whole Seeding stocks. This advice is
given by P J. Berokmans, Augusta, Ca,
accepted authority in all matters per-
tanning to horticulture and an advocate
for planting as soon as practicable after
the first killing frosts. Select one or two
year old trees.

This was promise that is being full
filled. But there came with that
promise the command to live by the
sweat of the face-to subdue the earth,
and to possess it. and to be a co-labor-
er with nature. Where moisture and
heat are deficient we can increase
them. Where there is too much
moisture, heat or sunshine we
can diminish them, or which is
the same thing, protect our crops from
them. We can so cultivate as to in
tensify the influence of either of these
on our crops when needed. / remem-
Der one late, wet spring while | was a
young man l covered my corn from
three to four inches deep, while my ad-
joining neighbor covered his one inch
His came up and did we'll, and mine
rotted. His corn had around it proper
amount of moisture; mine had too
much. His corn had temperature of
30 or 80 degrees of heat more than
mine. A weak sunshine nursed his
corn into new life, while mine never
felt it's genial influence. I re-
member again that it was very dry,
hot spring and summer that I did not
get all my land intended for tobacco
set out, and it was on the LIST day Of
July planted some of the ground in
corn, covering it six inches deep, be-
cause | found a little moisture at that
depth. The strong sunshine brought
it up before the next rain. remember
another year when it was a cold, wet
spring, and one of my neighbors and
myself had each field of corn that we
had been cultivating on the level sys-
tenn because it was the time of the year
to expect warm, dry weather. The
corn had gotten to be about three
inches high and seemed to stop grow
ing for the reason that the season and
cultivation did not favor corn growth.
My neighbor saw the dilemma and
with turning pillow threw the dirt
from the corn, leaving it standing in a
narrow ridge. This took from the
corn-roots the surplus water, increased
the heat and power Of the sunshine and
made it out grow my corn that was
left to it's level culture. AS soon as the
weather changed to warmness and
dryness he threw the dirt back to the
corn and kept it growing ahead of
mine.
L can remember a good many years
in my long farming life when l would
thin my corn early, and thin it by the
best rule for field corn in this latitude
that is, one stalk for about six or
eight feet of superficial measure of the
ground. And remembering that in the
same years that many of my neighbors
would be later thinning their corn, and
then leave from SO to IS per cent too
many stalks on the ground, and I re-
memb Der to have seen their small stalks
running to tallness-each stalk was
trying to get it's share of sunshine and
dews. They made more provender and
made more grain.

shock, which was followed by "A series of

we were informed that the accident
which occurred was not a serious one;
that there was a break in the piston rod

could be very easily repaired. We were
assured that there was no danger, and
that the vessel could keep af1Oat under

so there we lay without a movement
of the engines for sixteen hours, while
the engineer and his assistants were a t
work on the break. After the first shock

on board. When the machinery did

slowly, and up to noon of the next day

heartfelt than in Paris. The wives and
children of the officers and crew of the
steamer mostly reside there and their
anxiety of the past few days when daily

nothing had been heard of the steamer

| When they learned that a dispatch re-
porting the safety of the vessel had ar
rived, they hurried to the Office, and the
report of the Associated Press was read
to them, the gladdening intelligence was
too much for their pent up feelings, and
they all gave way to fearful expression
of joy, deeply moving all who witnessed
the scene. The news of the safety OF
the steamer afforded great pleasure in
all shipping and business circles.
