in return, that the desire is general to
improve all the roads on which there
IS much travel. The present law is
good enough as far as it goes. Under its
operations, however. only few of the
more favored roads can be improved.
What is needed is a law that permits all
roads to be improved as soon as ma
jority of the persons most interested
and who must bear the chief burden
of the expense desire to do so.-AToledo

be removed without a good reason.
Pruning when the tree is at rest aids

pruning during the growing season
tends to check growth.
The pruning should not be done
while the tree is frozen. After the
work is done, gather up the trash and
burn it. 1t not only detracts from
the appearance of the orchard to have
the brush lying around under the
trees, but it affords a harboring place
for vermin.-St. Louis Republic.

Cne is tina; on Iaost farms there is more

eIage conditions the necessary pruning
should he done while tine trees arc at
rest. rather than while they are grow
ing. But pruning should not be done
indiscriminately. In fact. cutting and
siashipg without any particular reason
why ii is done is almost If not quite as
bad as no pruning at all. Some prun-
ing is necessary. not only to secure
more fruit and better shaped tree,
but to maintain a better shaped tree.
A low, open. spreading head is better
in almost every way than close up
right growth. There is less risk of
high winds injuring the trees or of
blowing off the fruit, while it will re-
1uire less labor and cost less to harvest
ones. The low, spreading heads will
also shade and protect the trees from
the hot. scalding sun.
All dead, dying or diseased wood
should be cut out of trees as soon as
noticed. 1t is of no possible advan-
tage TO allow limbs or branches of
this kind to remain on the trees. One
of the best plans of pruning is to COM
mence when the trees are set out. At
that time the tops should always be
cut back in proportion to the roots.
If this is done properly at the start,
and an annual pruning is given after
that, the necessity for removing large

STALKING YOUNG TREES.
Bands Made from Old Rubber Boots AFRO
the Most Appropriate.

Young trees set last spring or in the
autumn, if in an exposed situation,
should be staked up, and if this matter
has been neglected it should now re-
ceive prompt attention, as the constant
moving to and fro by the wind not only
causes the tree to grow out of the per-
pendicular, but strains and often checks
the bark, not infrequently girdling the
tree where it continually CRATES against
the frozen ground, all of which should
be avoided. The general plan of stalk
ing is shown in cur illustration, and
three forms of bands are also exhibited.

Trees Need Moisture in Winter.

1t is an almost universal mistake to
think that trees require no water, or
but very little in winter. There is
evaporation and great deal of it all
through the winter, and if moisture is
not close at hand the tree will die.
Keeping this in mind it will be seen
why there is great benefit in mulching
newly planted trees. It keeps the fir st
from the roots if placed on the ground
thick enough, which it should be, aud
in this way it is easier for the roots to

NEW YORK, October 9.-The Her

General Weyler's innitial operations
inaugurating the campaign in the ex-
treme west. intended to trap Maceo or
defeat and drive him east, have proved
2 failure.
General Melguizo, who as military
Governor of Pinar del Rio was dele
gated by the Captain-General 10 start

successive engagements with Maceo in
the mountains of Pinar del Rio, where,
with the combined columns suffered
tremendous losses and were compelled
TO retreat TO the coast.
The news fell like a bombshell in
the palace The Captain-General will
not even permit the Havana represen-
tatives of the Madrid papers to wire
the facts, and he gave the strietest or
derS TO the press censor 10 prevent the
news of the failure OF his plans from
getting out. The editor OF Ell Diario
del Ejercito," the army organ, whose
paper is seldom. if ever, censured, dar-
ing to print a few details, was called
TO the palace by the Captain-General
and severely reprimanded. My own
dispatch offered for transmission last
night. which follows, was blue penclled
by the censor. 1t read:
The transport Triton, from Pinar del
Rio ports, this morning brought the
Spanish wounded and further details
of interest of the recent engagements
OF General MelguiZo and Colonels Her
nandez and Fraces with Maceo's in
surgent forces in the west at lumbar
del Torino and Manajas.
At the former point Melguizo and
Maceo personally commanded their
respective forces. The artillery played
an important part, and nine-tenths OF
the Spanish artillerymen commanding
the batteries were killed or wounded.
The insurgents made repeated and des-
perate attempts to capture the Spanish
guns. There was fierce fighting al
close quarters, and charges, counter
charges and onslaughts with the bay
onet.
Maceo's men fought exceptionally
well. but Melguizo's troops are said TO
have held their ground like heroes.
In the fight at Manaja Colonel Francis
horse was shot under MIN. MAYOR IL
quierdo and five more officers were
wounded by his side. The Spanish
troops were thirty-six hours without
food.
a tanner or more impartial message
could not have been rendered. But the
censor said he had positive orders to
allow absolutely nothing about the
Pinar del Rio engagements mentioned
10 pass. I made no reference TO Ma
ceo's new dynamite gun, the explosive
shells of which caused CONSERVATION
in the Spanish ranks, nor did l relate
the fact that a majority Of the Spanish
were killed in the engagement by Gu
ban machetes, which shows that the
fight was at close quarters, and the
Cuban insurgents displayed remark
able courage.

NIcARAGuAN AFFAIRs.

Revolutionary Outbreak Expected.
Personal Encounters of Politicians.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Oct. S.-As
cabled today, the plans for another
revolutionary outbreak against Presi-
dent Zelaya have been discovered. Sew
eral suspects were arrested two nights
ago. They were accused of making
preparations to bring about an upris-
ing against the Government, but the
men arrested are not persons of gen
eral influence; in fact some of them
are suspected of being spies of the
Government. and it is added that they
viii possibly be released on making
accusations against native Nicaragu
ans of wealth, so as to furnish the au
thorities with an excuse for imposing
heavy fines upon them. In spite of
this, however, there is no doubt that
there exists a strong feeling of oppo-
sition in certain quarters to the gov
ernment of President Zelaya, and there
have been several movements of i'm
pCr,ance among his political opponents
and further trouble is apprehended.
The Presidents enemies are believed
TO have planned some time ago to cap
tUre the military barracks and maga-
zines and to overthrow the Govern
ment. 1t was further reported that
General Antonio Lara, who fought
against President Zelaya in the recent
revolution, and who has been impris-
oned here ever since, has declared that
ne overheard discriminating conversa-
tons between some of the recently i'm
prisoned suspects.
Two members of the National Con-
stitution Amending Assembly had
fight this morning outside the assem-
bly, hall After a short wordy dispute
General Aurelius knocked down As
semblyman Senior Baraby Majea.
This recalls the fact hat a few days
ago Mr.. Antonia Bayana, European
bank agent of the London Bank of
Central America, and Consul of the
Argentine Republic here, got into a
fight with Senor Vivas, Fray Joseph
a spirited young writer living in Ma
nagua. Both were arrested, but sub
sequently released by the chief Of po-
lice.

medicine. To say that it was salts

mildly, indeed. 1t acted like magic

the conspiraJors who have been bleed
ing the market are little afraid they
have overdone it, and prices have been
temptingly put up.
It is entirely professional booming,
for the stock-buying public is wisely
standing aloof both here and in Am
erica. but the American stocks Will
bear watching.
Meanwhile there is an ominous ebb
in the expansion of trade. The August
report of the Government Board of
Trade shows a decrease in the imports
as compared with the same month OF
1895 of nearly S11,0OO.0 zoe, and in the
exports for granted that the terrible
decline in American trade and the un-
certainty of American politics is main
ly responsible for these conditions.
