Thursday noon a lively row occurred
at the Franklin school building on the
West Side between two of the older
boys who attend the Mccormick school
and one Of the large boys OF the Frank

Cormick school boys picked row with
the Franklin school lad. which. judg-

former ended quite Unexpectedly to
them. The affair created such an up
roar that Superintendent Dyer suspended
all the participants pending an inves-

suffice This work may be done in the
fall before the ground freezes, or early
in spring, before the leaves appear
prefer the fall. When the top is to be
pruned, any branches lower than may
be desirable should be cut away entirely.
The rest should be cut in two-thirds,
but do not cut off the top. This COM
pletes the work. Nut trees treated in
this way may be transplanted the follow
ing fall, but it is better to leave them to
have two summers growth afterwards.
A trence foot wider than before will
generally catch the most of the new
roots when digging up the tree.
Occasion ally tree so treated will die,
too many roots having been cut away,
but this does not happen often, as the
pruning of the top cOmpensates largely
for the loss of roots. When the tree
thrives after the treatment, great lot
of small roots are made, which makes
transplanting quite safe.
The shelbark is the most valuable of
all hickories for it's nuts, and the Western
shelbark, Carya sulcata, the next, for
the Northern states. In the Southern
and South western states, the pecan
takes the lead, and even in Pennsylvania
it Can be grown. The Western shelbark,
referred to above, is not nearly as we'll
known as it should be in the Eastern
states. It's nut is of monstrous size, and
it's meat" is abundant. This one is
often met with in the markets of St.
Louis.
The blackWalnut, while not an easy
tree to transplant, is not so difficult a
one as the hickory. The same can be
said of the English or Madeira nut
The latter nut is not hardy enough for
colder states than New York. | have

Transplanting Nut Trees.

Among all the Crees, native and foreign,
none so difficult to transplant as the
various kinds of nut trees, particularly
hickories and walnuts. The trouble
comes from the few roots these trees
make when growing in a natural way.
There is but one long tap-root to a plant
at first, and but few others are made at
amusing to see the establishment of
those not accustomed to it, when a two
or threeyear-old hickory is dug up.
The top Will not be over one foot or SO
in height, while the root will be about
three feet. II it were but question of
planting little seedlings like these, there
many parts of the country, forests in
which hickories are found are common.
In them are many trees Of from ten to
fifteen feet in height, which would be
valuable to have no ones place, where
it possible to remove them. While not
possible to take them at once, there is
no trouble about it if prepared for
removal year or two in advance. Such
trees must be root pruned where they
stand, doing the work year at least,
sometimes longer, in advance AS not
only hickOries, but black walnuts and
many other trees may be treated in the
sa me way under similar circumstances,

1t will be understood that the pruning
is done to produce more roots, 50 that
transplanJing may be safely accom-
plished. Surprising the tree to be a
shelbark hickory of about ten feet in
height, and standing where it has not
been crowded, it will have a stem of
about two inches in diameter, and
spreading branches three to four feet in
length. | would dig trench around it
about three feet in diameter, going down
deep enough to sever what large roots
are met with. After getting down to
about two feet or little deeper, work
under the tree, and cut off the tap root.
A sharp spade will cut good enough,
then the trench is to be filed in; use
soil with well decayed manure in it if
obtainable, otherwise any good soil will

know how to use the banana, says the
Scientific Cyclopedia In the tropical
climates, where the banana furnishes
the principal article of diet, the inhab
itants have found numerous methods OF
utilizing the delicious fruit, which rem
ders it at once nutritious and pala table.
They boil 1t, they bake it as we do sweet
potatoes, they peel it, cut it into slices,
and fry it in batter, they mash it
into IL paste and dry it in the sun as we
do apples and peaches; they make it
into buildings, pies, dumpings, comtits
and preserves, and even smother it in
sugar until it is candied fruit.
But we need not go to Honduras or
even Cuba to grow bananas. They have
been, and are STILL grown in California,
to some extent, in Louisiana and in
Florida. Upon tn, Keys, on the CalOOs
ahatchee river to the south # us anC
even as far north as Sanford we read o
banana groves, but we incline to the be
lief that the counties north of us are
not safe for the successful cultivation
of this fruit. A few years ago, neal
Sanford, one third of an acre yielded
5000 worth of fruit, though this must
have been an exceptional patch. AS, how
ever, planted 6 X feet over l 200 can be
grown on an acre, it is easily to be seen
that if any fair sized bunch showing sc
and upward "fngers' can command
half dollar, the business can be made
very profitable.
We were in a fair way of determining,
this season, whether they could be raised
to profit in our sand hill country, but the
frost has postponed the decision. With
the writer they did not do as we'll on the
higher, slOping land as close to the lake
and on the level of water. Two rows
that were submerged during two months
of late summer by the unusual rise OF
water in the lake, seemed to flourish bet
ter than the two rows just above them
and these last better than the two
other rows higher up. The more mois
ture, the better the growth, seemed &c
be the lesson learned.
Another patch, running from ten tC
twenty feet above lake level, made poorer
growth, showed tendency to throw out
suckers and, where punches of fruit
formed, In no instance was there over

Banana Culture.

Banana Culture.
When the sun came up the morning
after Black Friday. we looked at patch
of six hundred or more bananas of the
dwarf variety and said goodbye to
banana culture in the sand hills, and a
of gloom as we thought that no encour-
agement of great extent had been given
correspondents us to their successful
culture here.
A few days passed, and then the prun-
ing knife Was brought into action, as
all the leaves and the upper growth of
each plant told the story of the great
frost But, cutting down about one
third of the way from the top of the
plant, our eyes were gladdened by the
sight of the little green leaf, sound and
fresh, working it's way up through the
st Xix to the sunlight and the air
So they were not dead, after all; only
crippled, and quick to show that there
Was strong life in them. And each day
the new leaf shot out and upward a half
inch or SO.
So it seems to be proven that the
banana will stand ten degrees of frost
and survive. We shall loose a crop this
season, but look for one next year
Thus there is at least an emerald lin
ing to the lumber cloud resting ovel
banana culture in the sand hills.
The banana trade of the United States
is enormous For the ten months end
ing October 81, 1892, the imports of this
fruit were valued at 81, 5O3, 400, while
the imports of lemons were valued at
81 ,039, 437; oranges 81, 053, $40, and all
fruits together, fresh and dried Except
bananas) only amounted to S7,o0l, 1872.
Thus, the bananas were worth four
times as much as the oranges and con-
stituted over half the fruit imports of
the United States. Since 1892 the i'm
ports have, no doubt, largely increased.
In Cuba there is a plantation of over
two million, which employs over fifteen
hundred men during crop time.
A recent report by Consul Peterson of
Tegucigalpa, on banana raising in Hon
duras, says that within the last few
years the business there has grown to
vast proportions. La Ceiba, located be-
tween Puerto Cortez and Trixillo, has
become one of the most important ports
of the country, solely through the
banana trade which finds it's outlet there
for the United States.
The writer of this article was along
the coast of Honduras about three years
ago and watched with interest the
methods of obtaining and shipping the
great punches of green fruit. No ripe
fruit is, of course, expOrted 1t is gener-
ally fed to cows In that purely tropical
