1t is said that no insect but the silk

abounds every other tree and plant

In many cases this cultivation makes

Winter protection of small fruits
was also strongly insisted upon,
Raspberries and blaekberries should
be laid down earlier than Is
usually supposed. Mr.. Wells had
laid them down early in October
after growth stops and after the first
two or three frosts. The canes at this
time are much more pliable. A spade
full of earth should be removed ON the
north side II plants are in north and
south rows, the canes bent over to the
ground and covered entirely with
earth. They should be bent in the
root, as the canes themselves can not
be bent much. Ancient Briton black

The annual meeting Of the North.
eastern Iowa Horticultural society was
held IN Mason City, Iowa, Nov. q, 2s
and 20. In spite OF the short fruit
crops the past season, there was very
fine display of apples on the tables.
The attendance was large and all were
hopeful for a better crop next year.
Officers were elected for tine next year
as follows: President, W. A. Burnnp,
Clear Lake, vice-presidcnt, j. NJ. Elder,

@. A. WINS Of Iowa Falls urged the
value Of frequent renewal of bearing

flesh, but by mixing the oats in proper
portions with the vetches, the de-
sired results will be obtained. The
vines of the vetches are very nutri-
tious, especially when properly cured,
and make, mixed with oat straw, a
good fodder much liked by all kinds OF
stock. In order to make a good crop,
the common vetch requires cool and
moist climate and well prepared,
low, moist and humus soil. On high,
rather dry and light soil, the yetch
does not thrive well, and it requires a
liberal application OF well rotted ma
nure to grow it in such soil. The pea
gives on this kind of soil de cidedly
better results. II good growth OF
the vines is desired the yetch or mixed
fodder should be first in the crop rota-
ton after the application of manure;
if the yield of the seed is the principal
object it should be second. For in
stance, crop rotation in Schleswig-
Holstein:
/. Summer fallow, MANFRED
2. Wheat.
3. Barley or oats.
4. Mixed fodder, MANFRED.
5. Oats.
6. Clover, one cut.
z. Pasture.
8. Pasture
On large farm of 5000 acres near
Berlin, where $50 cows were stabbed
the whole year, 200 acres near the COW
stable were selected, TO raise the
necessary green fodder, with the fol-
lowing crop rotation:
/. Mixed fodder (heavy manured)
2. Rye.
3. Beets, turnips, ETC., (manured)
4. Oats.
On a farm in Mecklenburg, where
the yield OF the seed was the principal
object, the mixed fodder stood second
after the application of manure.
/. Summer fallow (manured)
2. Wheat.
3. Mixed fodder.
4. Oats. etc.
The proportions in which vetches
and oats have to be mixed for
seeding, depend upon the results which
it is desired to obtain. II it is intended
to cut the fodder green to be fed to
stock in summer or for making hay,
the vetches should predominant; II in
tended to be fed as grain, the mixture
should contain sufficient oats for the
support of the vines of the vetch. The
sun will have more access TO the leaves
and vines of the vetch with CORE
spending increase Of the quality and
quantity OF the seed. In the former
case ~ bushels Of oats and Il bushels
of vetches is good mixture, or II the
soil is rather light "a bushels Of oats,
1 bushel of vetches and 4 bushel
of field peas; in the latter case, bush
els of oats to bushel Of vetches can
be recommended. Where summer rye
will grow, part of the oats may
be substituted by IL. For light, sandy
soil, summer rye and peas give excel
lent results Different varieties OF
grain If sown in combination do not
generally yield as much per acre a.

deed, the remedy that cures, and think 1t
the king Of all medicines. I cannot express
thanks enough for the wonderful good it
has done me-
MIR. Thompson is certainly an earnest be-
lever in this wonderful discovery of Dr.
Greene, DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, and he has reason to be.
Nervous diseases are the most terrible of
affections and lead to insanity, paralysis,
heart failure or complete nervous and
physical prostration. Whatever will cure
nervous disorders and save people from
these awful results, is the greatest discov
cry possible to be made.
This great remedy does cure. 1t does give
strength and vigor to the nerves and re-
stores vitality to the blood and body. 1t
cures and this is exactly what the people
want And they especially want it at this
season of the year, for this grand spring
tonic and invigorator is necessary if one
would keep in perfect health.
DR.. Greene, it's discoverer, is the most
successful specialist in curing all forms of
nervous and chronic diseases. His Office is
at 35 West Fourteenth street, New York
city, where he can be consulted without
charge. Those who cannot call at the office
can have consultation by letter free.

A $500, 900 MORTGAGE.
Receivership for Charlottesville
Water and Light Company Asked.

Water and Light Company Asked.
The Knickerbocker Trust Company, of
New York, yesterday filed in the United
States Court IAN application for receiver
for the Charlottesville Water and Light
Company, making the American Debenture
Company, of West Virginia codefendant.
The plaintiff also asks that the mortgage
covering the plant of the Charlottesville
company be foreclosed to satisfy an in
debtedness of $500. 900. In 1889 the Craw
louisville Water and Light Company issued
100000 of first mortgage gold bonds pay
able in thirty years. The bonds were certi-
fled by the American Loan and Trust Com
pany, which became the trustee for the
bondholders. To secure the payment of
ecuted and delivered to the American Trust
Company a mortgage covering its entire
property and franchise. Afterward. in ac-
cordance with the terms of the mortgage, the
Knickerbocker Trust Company succeeded
the American Loan and Trust Company as
trustee. The complaint alleges that the
defendant has defaulted the semi-annual
1896 the holders of more than two-thirds
of the bonds declared the whole principal
sum due and payable. The compla mt shows
that the American Debenture Company
claims to have a lien on the premises, but
it is supplemental and subordinate to the
mortgage set out. The court is asked to
appoint a receiver for the defendant water
mortgage and order the property sold. An
order restraining the defendants from in
terfering with the mortgage is also prayed

Local Salvation Army Does Not Ex-

The members of the Salvation Army sta

Mrs. Booth has been speaking in other cities

Salvationists has not the funds to defray
the expenses of her visit here and the MEM
bers have some doubts about the result, for
they say that indianapolis is unlike any
other city which they have visited. After
the army had interested the churches in
