 Thin the fruit as soon as it starts te grow woll.
 June is tho best time to cut of all stubs left in spring pruning.
 A young growing tree wants solid ground to take hold in.
 It is not a good plan to cultivate the soil deep close to newly planted trees.
 If you want stocky branched gratis, nit the end of the young growth after 1t is sir inches long.
 Young shade trees should be trimmed into shape tho first few years after having been set out.
 Cut out all dead or diseased wood. There is no possible advantage in allowing 1t to remain on the trees.

Factories Under Free Trade.

The census statistics OF the United
States have made us familiar with the
manner in which factories in the
United States have increased in mum.
her and grown in extent during our
uninterrupted periods of protection.
In 1870 we had 252,148 different
manufacturing establishments in 1890
we had 355, 415 manufacturing estab-
lishments in the United States, an in
crease OF more than 100,0 establish
ments within twenty years. This was
the direct result Of the policy of pro-
lection. Let us see what happens un-
der the policy Of free trade.
Taking the number of factories in
the leading industries in the United
Kingdom, such as the textiles, cottons,
woolens, shoddy, flax and hemp, silk
and elastic manufactures we give the

Learn 10 Listen.

If the reader will listen to any
heated debate, he will almost certainly
find that neither of the disputants is
making the slightest effort to recog-
nize the force OF his opponents argu-
ments; but each is only watching for
something in the others words that he
can criticise, some weak spot that he
can assail. That sort of thing may be
all very we'll for soldiers on tho field
of battle, or for lawyers before the
bar, but it is altogether unworthy of
intelligent men in discussing the
eternal verities. Every man should
realize that as his own knowledge of
spiritual truth is necessarily imper-
feet, it is altogether likely that he can
learn some thing from the man who
differs from him most radically, and
that it is far better to learn what he
can from that man than to waste time
and make sacrifice of good.fellowship
by aimless controversy. That seems
a very simple proposition, and yet oil
the bitter controversies and religious
prosecutions of the past, and all the
doctrinal disputes of the present are
due to the failure of men generally to
see the truth that each can learn
something from the other, but that no
man can convince another against his
will.
1t is not the most fluent talker, noi
the most plausible debater who gives
the greatest proof OF intelligence, but
the man who is always ready to listen
and to learn. New York Witness.

What Protection Dies.

An industry that has been estab-
lished in this country directly through
the enactment Of the Mckinley tariff
is that of making condensed milk.
The Anglo-Swiss Company, for in
stance, has it's factories in Switzer-
land. in England and in the United
States, employing some 1900 workmen
in all three countries. For labor OF
similar quality the American receives
III per cent. more money than the
average rate of wages paid to the Swiss
worker, and 134 per cent. more than
the average paid to the Englishman.
Without protection to the American
condensed milk business the American
wage-carner will be likely to have a
reduction Of about 100 per cent. in
his earnings, or the factories would be
closed and the entire work be conduct
ed again in Europe.

Sheep farmers, the world over, have
been very busy during the last thirty.
five years. In that period the st.
Louis Star Sayings estimates that the

five-fold in South Africa and the

Of the Civil War tue clip was two
pounds per head of our population;
now it is five. New sources are also
being opened up to us daily by new
railroads, and clothing should go down

even of Asia are now sending wool

The new impulse lately given to
gold mining has brought new life into
many yleserted towns and abandoned
campsin the West. One of the most
notable of these resurrections-reyiyal

tion-is in the case of the camp of
Florence, Idaho. In 1861 this camn
had population of 10000 people.
with banks, saloons. hotels and every.
thing that goes to the making of
city. 1t was placer camp. and gold
was plentiful as gravel, while it lasted.
But it didn't last long, and in those
bonanza days miners would not stay
to work quartz. So the population
deserted Florence as quickly rs it
came. and for many years the town
was absolutely deserted, and as much
ruin as ancient Carthage. Recently
several good quartz lodges have been
discovered at the old camp, and Flor.

It will be noticed that there were
lO4 fewer textile manufacturing estab-

1890 than there were in 1874; there
were LIT less cotton factories there
were seven less WOODEN factories there
were fifty-eight less fax aud hemp
factories; there were 195 less silk fac
tories; there were thirty-six less
elastic factories. The falling off in
the number of these manufacturing
establishments in the United Kingdom
occurred during policy of free trade.
1t will be noticel in the foregoing list
that there has been no decrease in tho
