A moss-covered tree cannot re-
main healthy.
1t is a mistake to set fruit trees
in the garden.
Moss on tree affords hiding
place for insects.
An application of whitewash is
good to remove moss.
To get the full benefit of mulch
ing it should be done early and
we'll.
In the matter -of varieties con-
suit your nsighbors rather than the
fruit tree agent.
To have plenty Of fruit you must
have strong canes and to have strong
canes they must have room.
Trees should be so pruned while
young that the necessity for cutting
off large limbs will be avoided,
Examine the apple trees for Dor
ers every ten tlaysoor two weeks

Az soon as the apples begin to

In the orchard and for all kinds

In the orchard and for all kinds
of fruit phosphate and potash ma
Inures give the best results.
A good rule in pruning is to cut
all dead or disabled wood and every
branch that starts out where it is
not wanted.
With raspberries and blackber-
ries all canes that grow outside the
direct line of the rows should be
treated as weeds.
In growing fruit and vegetables
if large size is desired do not over
crowd, but give each plant and
specimen plenty of room.
BY planting q few trees of differ
ent varieties every year the orchard
need never grow old, and supply
of fruit may be always kept up.
Most varieties of pears are finer

in flavor if they are picked and
ripened in the house rather than to
be left ON the tree until fully ripe.
Sudden and severe pruning, such
as taking off large quantity of
wood in single season, is apt to
ruin the fruit crop Of the next sea-
son.
One rule in pruning should be to
thin out every year all the old ex-
hausted wood, all weak, young,
shoots and all that cannot reach
full light.
The objection to applying animal
manures to the grapevines in large
quantities is that it induces a rank
growth of wood and foliage that
are unfavorable to the production Of
good fruit.
The larger the Summer and Fall
growth of wberry plants the
larger the crop of fruit next season.
To secure this through cultivation
now and liberal manuring later will
be found necessary.
The sprouts growing around the
bark Of fruit trees, even allowing
that they do no great harm, are at
the least unsightly and should be
removed without delay. Now is a
good time for doing work of this
kind.
The best and most profitable
pruning Of raspberries and black
berries can now be done now by
pinching the young canes back to
not over three feet high. Unneces-
sary growth of wood is made at the
expense of fruit.

FARM Notes.
FARMRRN VINO sUCCRED
Three Types Of AgricuIturist@ Found
In the Westerm states.

Three Types 81 AgrtewktuFt@t@ EOumU
In the Western states.
Farmers are divided into three
classes: First, those who take up
with everything new in grains, veg
etables, fruits and machinery with
out stopping to think or studying
the demands If their market, the
possibilities Of their soil and the
peculiarities of the climate. In
variably they make failures. The
second class are those who never
buy or produce anything new in
the way of grains, etc, use the
same implements their fathers did,
irrigate only when the spirit moves
them,s let their cattle run around
the straw pile in Winter, feeding
them a few nubbins, make all their
butter in the Summer and use an
old dash churn. They are homely
1ikened to cows tail, inasmuch
as they are always behind.
The third class are those who
think, study their market and soil,
begin on small scale and expert
ment until the problem is solved
IF new fruit is being advertised
and trees sold at enormous prices
they buy but one and see If it suits
their soil and climate. They will
not set out a peach orchard in q
swamp or cherry orchard on an
alluvial soil underlaid with gravel.
This class is the one that is making
money at farming-the other two
are in the background. One and
two are both bound for the same
place, but seemingly travelling in
opposite directions.
One acts without thinking; the
other thinks without acting. One
is extravagant in buying unneces-
sary things; the other extravagant
in not buying necessary articles.
One has no fixed method Of labor;
the others method of labor fixes
him. These two classes are an an
omaly, and, as Lamartine said to
Robespierre, are "shadowy, unde-
fined-mixed." Not SO with those
designed as the third class. They
have an aim in farming, and as a
result have well defined plan and
combine brain and muscle, theory
and practice-know the old way,
but adopt the new and are sue
cess. In the new agriculture Of
the far west these farmers are le-
gion, and are rapidly coming to the
front. They believe in the modern
theory of advancement as applied
to agriculture, and are lettering
their condition by working along
these lines. The methods of the
past generations will not do for
them, and they are reaching out
for the improved order of things
that mark the pathway of other
men who are a great success in this
world. Denver Field and Farm.

The Rrcedsmg Mare.

An authority advises to never
select a mare for breeding purposes
unless she is good individual, not
one with bony engagements or de-
fective hooks. Select one with a
well-shaped head and intelligent
eye. Breed her to . stallion of good
individuality and from a family
that reproduces its good qualities.
Give her the usual work or exercise
she has been accustomed to up to a
reasonable time before foaling. The
mare at the time of foaling should
be in commodious box stall, or
better, a paddock or field if the
weather is favorable. After foaling
give the mare plenty of nutritious
food, bran or crushed oats, ETC.,
stimulating her nOurishment for
her foal. Teach the colt to eat with
the mare as soon as possible. Fence
off a small place for him to run in
and ont OF so the mare cannot get
his feed, It is good plan to give
the foal an injection of soap and
water shortly after birth, as it will
open up it's bowels. Many foals are
lost by allowing them to become
cositive or bound up. Halter break
the colt when few weeks old, and
break him early to harness, as he
is easier handled while young. The
better care and feed he gets the first
two years, especially the first, the
bstter animal you make Of him.
Feed and care is everything in de-
veloping COLT.

accused men pleaded not guilty and
witnesses admitted that when the men

less, the prosecuting officer demanded
the conviction of the prisoners and
their condemnation to death. United

present state of public feeling, any
summary decision by it may lead to
serious consequences.

A POIitica! Tram.

One day last week John W. Breiden-
thai, populist, and Wiley Cook, repub-
lican, we're talking of old times in
Labette county, and one thing leading
to another, they we're reminded Of a
trap laid by Breidenthal to slaughter
Judge Bishop W. Perkins in a joint
debate on the tariff with Moses Hull,
a famous reform campaigner. It was
in 1887, the year the union labor party
polled such big vote in the state.
Breidenthal was state chairman and he
was very anxious to carry his own
county, Labette, although the year
before the republicans registered a
majority of 2,1GO. Hull had been
speaking all over the county, Breiden-
thai challenging the republicans to
put man against him. Hull was up
in all sorts of figures, and especially
was posted on the tariff. Don't talk
tariff said Breidenthal the first day
Hull appeared in the county. "Give
them everything but that. Dodge that
subject I want the republicans to be-
leve that you are weak on that point.
Perkins, our congressman, knows moth
ing whatever about it, and the repubIi-
cans want him to meet you. When he
hears that you do not mention tariff he
will load up and start after you" Sure
enough, the republicans finally accept
ed the challenge and named Perkins as
their champion, The meeting was set
for Chetopa, and Perkins was given the
opening and closing. Wiley Cook, who
was running for county clerk, hired
the Oswego band and led a great crowd
Of republicans into the hall. Perkins
opened up in great shape and talked
tariff, tariff, nothing but tariff. The
Oswego republicans cheered and Per
kins was aglOw with anticipated tri
uph. Then Hull unwound himself. It
was familiar ground for him and he
pounded poor Perkins from the first
tariff bill down to 1887. Perkins sat
dazed. Hull left not even a grease spot

pion back to OswegO without footing a

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May S.-MuFdereI
Howard ". Midget, alias d. H. Holmes
was hanged yesterday morning in the
county prison for the killing Of Benja-
min F. Pietzel. The drop fell at lO:l2
o'clock and 20 minutes later he was
pronounced dead by the prison offioi-
ais, DR.. Sharp and DR., Butcher. The
execution was in every way entirely de-
void Of any sensational features. To
the last he was self possessed and cool,
even to the extent of giving a word Of
advice to Assistant Superintendent
Richardson, as the latter was arrang-
ing the final details. He died as be
had lived, uncOncerned and thought
less, apparently, of the future. Even
with the recollection still wildly be-
fore him of the recent confession in
which he admitted the killing of a
score of persons of both sexes in all
parts of the country, he refuted every
thing, and almost his last words we're a
point blank denial of any crimes com,
mitted except the deaths of two women
at his hands by malpractice. OF the
the murder Of several members of the
Pietzel family he denied all completely
particularly of the father, for whose
death he stated he was suffering The
penalty. Then with the prayer of the
spiritual attendants sounding in hi:
ears and with a few low spoken words
to those about, the trap swung and be
yond few incidental post mortem de-
tails, the execution, which eliminated
in one of the worst criminal stories
known to criminOlogy, was ended.

'BRYHH'S DEF 70 GBRLISE.
Wants the Secretary to ExplaiR Els Record
on the Silver Question.
Bryan Wants to Know If the Secretary
Has ApOlOgized to Sherman for
His Speech in 1878.

OMAHA, Neb., May 10.-The following
challenge has been sent to Secretary
Carlisle at Washington by ". J. Bryan
of this city:
Hon. JOHN G.. CARLISLE, Secretary OF
the Treasury: Dear Sir-You have
changed your position upon the para
mount public issue and are now de-
Tending a financial policy which you
once denounced. The advocates Of free
and unlimited coinage at sixteen to
one admit your right to change your
opinion, but contend that you owe it to
the public to answer the arguments
which you yourself made in 1878 before
attempting to answer the arguments OF
others.
You then accused John Sherman
who was secretary of the treasury at
the time, of being in sympathy with
the capitalistio classes and hostile to
the struggling masses. Do you now be-
lieVe that your accusation was true?
If your accusation against him was
then true, how did you and he succeed
in getting together? Whose sympa-
thies underwent a change, yours or his?
If you did him injustice at that time,
when did you make the discovery, and
have you ever apOlOgized TO him pub
licly or privately? Do you still believe
that, on the money question, the inter
ests Of the "idIe holders of idle capital
are antagonistic to the interests of the
struggling masses?"
In 1878 you denounced the conspira-
cy to destroy silver as a gigantic
crime" Did you ever withdraw that
language before entering the cabinet?
You then said that ".he contamination
of the scheme would ultimately entail
more misery upon the human race
than all wars, pestiiences and famines
that ever occurred in the history of
the world" Did you think the free
coinage of silver could do any more
damage than that? Your record chal-
lenges you to joint debate. VIII you
accept? Are you willing to take up
your speech of 1878 and answer it. one
proposition at a time? If you are, you
will silence those who doubt your stu
ceritY and question your motives. If
you are not willing to face your own
arguments and overcome them, you
cannot complain if your opponents
adopt the philosophy of Shakespeare,
and attribute your cowardice to a
guilty conscience. Yours truly.

TEE COMMISSIONERS AND THE BANK.

TEE COMMISSIONERS AND THE BANK
Last week the county commissioners
5wore out complaint against the Off
GERS of the Sherman County bank for
receiving deposits after that institu-
ton was in an insolvent condition.
Their action in this manner has re-
ceived the commentator of the ma
jority Of the taxpayers of the county
who feel that the public funds have
been jeopardized, and perhaps lost,
through violation of the state bank
ing laws.
1t is not the purpose or position of
this paper to adjudge the defendants
guilty OF declare them innocent, that
duty rests with the judiciary depart
ment alone.
Tt is not generally believed that
either of the defendants have mis-ap-
propriated any of the funds of the
bank, but that the insolvency rests
upon injudicious loans and the inabili-
ty to collect on outstanding paper. The
bank no doubt struggled along, perhaps
in the insolvent condition as alleged,
but hoping ever for the best, until the
crash came and its officers found them
selves violating the letter if not the
spirit of the law.
For this they are now to answer at
the coming term of court On complaint
of the county commissioners, repre-
senting the people of Sherman county,
and not as individuals.
The laws relating to banking are of
a necessity very stringent and no doubt
there have been and will be cases
where men morally innocent of wrong
have suffered because others, really
criminal, have caused laws to have
been enacted whose severity alone
could prevent their populations.
Justice is all that either the state or
the defendants could ask, and the peo-
pie of Sherman county will see to it
that justice is done.
