the best branches are left, and these
headed back to within few buds each.
The branches left on, of course, must
be carefully selected,so that the stubs
start from the body at the proper
height to form good top.
Usually we cut the trees back in the
manner here suggested before plant
ing. Prof. Bailey suggests leaving the
tops on until after the trees are set,
since one can then better estimate the
proper height of starting the top, the
operation IS easier done, and there is
no further danger of breaking off the
limbs by the handling of the tree.
Every planter may suit his own no.
tions in this respect. In no case, how
ever, is 1t safe to leave trees planted
this fall untrimmed until spring, or
without trim ming at any time. The
roots are more or less mutilated, and
not in shape to support the evapora-
tion of moisture going on all the time
through the comparative excess of
top. If fall-planted trees are yet un-
trimmed, the work should be done at
once on the lines herein suggested.
The young trees are now firmly estab-
lished in the soil, but for further Sc
curity against loosening the roots the
foot may be placed at the base of the
tree and the superAuous branches re-
moved. Make the cut from the under
side, while the left hand bends the
branch to be removed upwards. Have
the knife sharp in order to make a
clean, smooth cut.-American Garden

are never any roll calls in the senate,
unless some senator demands the pres
ence of a quorum. Senator Blair talked
ten days against time, in order to give
his friends opportunity to return to
Washington and vote for his bill.
Every day when Blair arose the other
senators would depart, and Blair would
talk for three or four hours to an
empty senate, and to empty galleries.
Vice President pro tempore Ingalls,
would sit alone with folded arms dur
ing this senatorial debate" and the
shorthand reporters made stenographic
reports of the speech. After it was all
over and the bill was defeated, other
debates were in order, and a number
of senator's began to talk. One day,
while Senator Sanders, of Montana,
was speaking, ''call of the senate"
was ordered upon the request of Sena-
tor Davis, of Minnesota. Thereupon
Senator Blair arose, and, with great
dignity, said:
II want TO call the attention of the
senate, and of the country, to the fact
that during the long and interesting
debate on the Blair educational bill, it
was never necessary to have call of
the senate in order to have full at
tendance of the senate, and crowds in
the galleries"
Everybody present laughed. But
that remark is on the official record, to
make future historians believe that in
terested crowds listened to Senator
Blair for ten long days, when, as a
matter of fact, nobody was present ex-

FARM AND GARDEN.
NEWlY-SET TREES.
A Number of Different Methods of Prun-
ing Them Described.

A Number of Different Methods of Prun-
Ing Them Described.
The amount of pruning to be done
on trees when newly planted is an
often disputed point. Frequently we
meet extreme views, some people be-
ing opposed to much or all pruning.
while others think the best way is to
cut young trees, especially peach
trees. down to mere stubs at both ends.
The latter method was ably advocated
by the horticulturist of the Maryland
Experiment citation at meeting of
the American Pathological society At
Washington some years ago. We have
planted peach trees thus trimmed. and
had excellent success. the trees max
ing good growth both at top and root
ends. Usually, however, we revolt at
the thought OF this murderous slash
ing, and prefer to trim all peach trees
of average size to whips, possibly
with little stubs of the branches left
on. If the body of tree is small and
slender, we practice whip pruning
anyway with pear, apple and other
trees as well as with peach trees.
Our aim, then, is to produce, first of
all. good, stiff foundation on which
to build up the branches at proper
height. Fig. 1 of the accompanying
illustration, adapted from sketches
given in recent bulletin of the Cor
nell University Experiment station
(No. 80. Hints on the Planting of Or
chards, by Prof. L. II. Bailey. shows
a well-grown, strong peach tree, and
Fig. 2 the same tree properly pruned.
This style of handling peach trees
usually gives us the best results. Prof.
Bailey thinks it better to leave spurs
with at least one bud than to trim to
a mere whip. There should also be
number of strong, bright buds left
upon the top, for these are the points
where early growth begins, he says
For standard pear and apple trees of
fair size we adopt different style of
pruning. In Fig. 8 we see strong,
well-grown and well-branched pear
tree. The same tree, properly trimmed
for planting, is shown in Fig. 4. A

where the buffaloes and the prairie
grow. and as he had made consider

rest He went to a large hotel in a
small town, and after going to his
room took out his belt and began TO
count his money. Looking up sudden.
ly toward the door, the transom OF
which was half open, he saw a face
distinctly. His hair gradually stood
up. and his cheeks blanched. He took
a step forward and the face disa D.
peared. Then he thought it was onl Y
an optical illusion and laughed as he
chinked his yellow gold.
Hardly had the chink's echo died
away when glancing up he distinctly
saw the face again looking stra ght
toward him. Then he knew it must
be a burglar who had followed him to
his room and meant murder or rob-
berry, or both. lie said, In telling the

Fixing his eyes on the face and
slowly and carefully putting his hand

of a revolver appear over the top sill
of the door, he fixed his pistol to fire,
when to his amazement the transom
slowly rsoved in a breath of wind
rustling through the hall. and as it
closed he perceived instead of face
his own shirt front and hand with the
pistol in il. IL had been only his own
