REPUTATION.
Ironwood's Great Financial Strait-Bonds
May Not BE Paid

Ironwood's Great Financial strait-Bonds
May Not BE Paid.
1RoNwooD, Mich, Feb. 25.-It has been
decided. although informally, by the
mayor, city attorney and nearly all of the
officials in this city, to repudiate the last
issue OF Ironwood city bonds, amounting
to $4,000. About year ago the city sold
bonds in this amount to Coffin & Stanton
of New York, who are now in bankruptcy.
The bonds we're delivered to the firm on
the payment of SIS 900 in cash.
No security whatever was required for
the fultillment of the agreement and the
balance due is still unpaid.
The bonds are in the hands of men in
New York, Boston and London, and a
strong fight will be made by them to en-
force payment. The city officials claim
that the election at which the issuance of
the bonds was authorized was not legally
called. Judge Dillon of Boston, an au-
thority on such matters. was retained by
the city some time ago, but declares that if
the bonds are in the possession of inno-
cent holders they must be paid. Senator
W. +. Villas has been retained in behalf
of the city.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-The Times corre-
spondent in Cairo says that the attitude
of the Egyptian lower classes in Alex an
dria toward Europeans, especially British
soldiers and sailors. is openly defiant and
aggressive. The circumstances favor the
chances of popular disturbance. lie

large influx of Bedouins in the last week

THE FRUIT Tree AGENT.
Ho is Getting In His Fine Work Around
MissouIa.

Missoula.
MIsSOULA, Feb. 25.-That most persist.
cnt of canvassers, the fruit tree agent. is
getting in his work in this section in fine
shape this spring. He is present in
numerous numbers this season, no less
than four nursery firms being represented
here this month. All of them have done
good bushes and the number of trees
that will be shipped in here this spring
will astonish the natives. 1t is estimated
that, If all the shipments were made at
once, they would make train of about
40 car loads and the agents are still taking
orders Ranchmen all the way from Mis-
soula to Ross Hole are laying in a stock
of fruit trees, and the whole valley will be
transformed into a vast orchard if they
all grow.
In speaking of this subject the other
night, Capt. William Kennedy, of the
Hotel Kennedy, said to a STANDARD re-
porter: II remember the first fruit trees
that were ever brought into this country.
1t was IN 1871 or ~, when nearly all of
our merchandise was packed on mule
train over the old Walla Walla trail. Jerry
Fay, who was then prosperous merchant
at Stevensville, brought back with him on
one of his trips to Walla Walla a lot of
yearlng sprouts that he had carefully
packed on his mules, expecting to find a
ready sale for them when he got here.
NEARLY everybody laughed at him and
talked about 'Fay's folly Nobody be-
lieyed that the trees would grow, much
less that they would bear fruit here. So,
after he had tried in vain TO sell them, he
set them out in nursery style on the old
kennedy ranch, then owned by James
Minister. There they thrived beyond all
expectation. The price of these little
trees was $3.50 each and people thought
that 1t was throwing money away TO buy
any of them.
There were apple, plum. cherry and
crabapple trees in the lot, as we'll a some
raspberry, currant and gooseberry bushes.
As said, they were all set out on my old

ranch and there they grew well. In the
orchard on the ranch now there are many
OF these old trees in prime condition. All
of the apple trees lived and nearly all of
the plum and cherry tress are still bear
ing. One tree, l remember in particular.
1t is a Red June and has borne every
year since it first began to yield.
There are some of the trees that were
brought in at this time in A. j. Norlin's
orchard across the railroad track aud
Matt Coleman has some in his orchard
west of town. When they were planted
the most confident of us had had no idea
that this would turn out to be such a fine
fruit region, but some of US thought that
1t was worth trying and experience has
shown that we were right"

Seed was first introduced into this coun-
try by the department many years ago,
but not until 1886 is there any record
of its having ripened seed in the United
States. In that year small quantity
was ripened in Southern Florida and
in Southern Mississippi near the Gulf.
In the fall Of 1887 circulars were sent
out to a number of parties to whom
seed had been distributed the preceding
spring, asking whether any of the
plants had ripened seed, also that sam
pies Of the growth be sent to the de-
partment. Samples bearing ripe seeds
were received from several parties in
Southern Florida, but from no other
locality. On one Of the stocks having
thirteen fertile joints 812 seeds were
counted. In some cases ripe seeds were
produced on plants the seed of which
was planted the previous spring, but
usually it was produced on those the

In Louisiana it has been grown to a

The beauty of the Trees

The landscape of northwestern Iowa
and of Nebraska and of South Dakota
has been wonderfully changed, as the
early settlers will bear us out, by the
planting of trees. 1t used to be that
as far as the eye could see was one
monotonous roll of prairie, and now as
far as the eye can see, the landscape is
dotted by groves, in the midst of which
are villages and the homes of farmers.
The trees are great contributors to the
comfort of man and beast. They shell
ter from the heat of summer and from
the storm of winter-and the old set
tiers recognize the change as the later
corners cannot.
The influence of trees is important.
They are beautiful, especially so in
such year as this, and they stimulate
love of the beautiful; and so to match
the trees we have the we'll kept lawns.

roots of which had lived through the
cultivated for number of years in that
section.
Teosinte makes rapid, succulent
and abundant growth, which, in the
warmer parts Of the country, may be
cut two or more times during the sea-
son. In Florida the first crop from
roots that have lived over winter is
sometimes cut for fodder and the Sec
ond crop is left to ripen seeds. This
plant requires good soil, and that which
is moist but not necessarily wet. 1t
can not be considered of any value for
the dry regions of the west, except
where irrigation is practiced. 1t seems
to suffer more from drouth than Indian
corn. On good soil, that is not too dry,
it will probably prove to be of value
much further north than where it OBJ
tains it's complete development. One
sample analysed was found to contain
a lower percentage of crude fiber and
a higher percentage of albuminoids
than either clover or timothy hay.
After six years it is interesting to
again take up the thread of investiga-
ton. In the experiment station hand
hook for the year 1893 we find the fol-
lowing: In its native habitat 1t attains
a growth of from 10 to Is feet in few
months 1t suckers out or tillers to a
remarkable degree, often as many as
thirty to fifty suckers springing from a
single stalk. In this country the eli
mate is not hot enough nor the season
long enough to ripen the seed except
in a very few places. 1t is a tall and
rapidly growing plant, having large
number of long leaves, greatly resem-
bling blades of corn. 1t will do wen as
a forage plant as far north as Kansas
and Pennsylvania
In Michigan it has grown four or five
feet high, with leaves long and narrow.
1t was there planted too close or it
might have done much better. 1t was
tried in Vermont but did not give salts
faction. In Kansas it has been tried for
several years, and is well liked as a
forage plant. 1t stands drouth very
we'll. much better than corn, and the
yield is enormous, the average annual
CIOD IOr t0T6c years dJ Tic 1A1uSdS
station having been little more than
twenty-three tons of green forage per
acre. (Note that this does not agree
with the opinion expressed in the re-
port of 1SS7.-Ed. F. R) 1t is of es-
pecial value as green fodder when
other forage is dried up. Stocks of ali
kinds seem fond of it. There is nc
waste either when green or dry. as the
stalks are tender and cattle eat leaves
and all. In Kansas two crops may be
cut in the course of season, but the
best results are obtained by single
cutting In September before there Is
any frost It should be planted in rows
three feet apart. and thinned until ths
plants are foot apart To plant il
this manner one pound Of seed viii

ELECTRICITY IN FARMING.

Experiments Have Proven That the
Subtle Fluid Is of Great Value.
Some valuable work has been done re-
Gently on French farms at the sugges-
ton OF men who have made a study Of
electrical science. The termination Of
beans, peas, and grain has been quick
ened to marked extent by the electric
current. The apparatus that has been
employed with good effect by agricul-
turists consists of an ordinary pole 40
to fifty feet high, on the top of which is
insulated row of copper spikes to col
lect electricity from the atmosphere.
An insulated wire transmits the electric
force to a network of galvanized iron
wires buried four to six feet in the
ground under the growing crop. This
apparatus is called a geomagnetifere. It
is claimed that an increase of so per
cent in yield can be obtained by its use.
Grapes thus treated contain a higher
percentage of sugar and alcohol and the
perfume of flowers is stronger. The
geomagnetifere so feet high is claimed
to enrich the ground to the same extent
as ten times it's cost in manure. It has
long been supposed that electricity as
sists leguminous plants in appropriate
Ing free nitrogen from from the atmos-
phere, but it is hard to understand the
character of the process. 1t scarcely
can be fixation in the earth of nitro
| gen obtained by decomposition of the
air, but it would seem rational to sup
pose that the electrical force makes
the useful material in the soil more
rapidly and completely assimilable
than it otherwise would be.
