ORCHARD AND GARDEN,

In planting give trees plenty of room.
Nearly all kinds OF stock are injuri-
Gus to young orchards.
In setting out trees thin them so as
to avoid forks and to make them head
low.
\ few apple and peach trees shoulI
be planted every year to keep up the
supply.
Missing trees in the orchard should
be replaced by thrifty young trees o:
some sort.
1t is not a bad plan tokeepthe orchard
lands in as good Il condition of fertility
as the cornfield.
Dead or decaying trees in the orchard
afford 4 harboring and breeding place
for insects and vermin.
The pear tree. after it once comes
into bearing. if kept healthy. can lie
depended upon for fruit every year.
The best ground for a peach orchard
is a saEdy soil that has been planted
for several years with general crops.
The union between the scion and
stock takes place by The inner bar,
and not by the cut surface of the wood.
The skill of the CRATER is then excr-
cised to bring the inner bark of tire
scion into close contact with the inner
bark of the stock.

WcrJs, Of New Jersey. in his last mes
sage. 1t apparently is an elaboration
and improvement of a system of paw
ing used in some foreign cit
les which has proved very sat
isfactory. Gov. Werts' su@ges-
ton, which is really the propo-
sition OF Mr.. Rudd. commissioner If
roads, is to lay double tracks OF steel
along the country roads. filling in the
space between the rails with ordinary
paving of macadam. He says a horse
vii! draw on such Il steel track 20 times
as much as on macadam. The unanimi-
" with which drivers of all name of
vehicles in city streets take to the car
track clearly Illustrates the idea.
Many Of the streets along the line of
docks in Liverpool. over which heavy
loads of ali kinds are drawn TO and
from the ships, have long slabs of gran
tie. such as are used at crossings, laid
end to end in four parallel rows al
along the street, practically like car
tracks. The rest of the street is paved
with Belgian granite set in the ordinary
manner These wheel tracks of granite
slabs afford a perfectly regular ard
smooth surface for the trucks TO run
on. while the granite sets give a good
purchase for the horses. This style Of
paving has proved of great utility and
convenience. 1t is much easier for the
horses than where the wheels have TO
Jolt over the small sets. and they can
do much better work. 1t adds much Ia
public comfort. co.. because the truck
ing is almost uoiseless. The slabs wear
better than the small sets. because
there is no irregular wear by joltirG
and scrapiug.
This system of paving is in use in
some of the streets about the docks
of London. in Antwerp and many other
cities in Great Britain and on the cor
tinent. Of course. steel rails would bf

i'll many respects. Perhaps the
granite has an advantage over steel frI

broad rails of steel might prove treach-
erous for horses where there is muci:

country roads.
Many of the streets of Sheffield ard
other towns in the north of England
are paved with blocks of stone - to IS !
inches long by 9 to IL inches broad.
These streets are practically as smooth
as the sidewalks. The stone is roughcr
and softer than the granite. But while

The immensely of the volume of the
river traffic each season in rafting and
in general business is in all probabili
ty realized by very few of our people,
Notwithstanding the innumerable
RATS and frequent trips of the packet
steamers that they see. Some figures
have been prepared on the subject in
connection with the movement to
secure another harbor of refuge on
Lake Pepin and they are truly appal-
ling. They show that during the
season of 1896 there were 80 RATS of
logs from Lake st. Croix, averaging
100000 feet per raft, and in weight
averaging ten pounds per #. log
scale. This gives total of 2l7 900,
600 feet of logs, weighing 100000,
600 pounds. There was RATED from
st. Paul for lower river points 1900
600 feet of logs, weighing 47O,OOO,OOO
pounds. Of lumber there was RATED
100000 feet. including lath and
shingles, weighing six pounds per
foot, or 6OO,0OOOOO pounds, and maxi
ing a grand total in pounds of $500,
100000, or 1,650,OOO tons, These fig
ures in themselves are simply incon-
ceivable, but some idea may be gain
ed by reduction to car loads. 1t
would take 1877 800 cars loaded with
$4,000 pounds each to carry this
weight of logs and lumber, or $500
trains of 25 cars each, or Is such
train loads for every working day of
the year. In addition to this vast
volume of traffic there is all the grain
-four and merchandise of various
kinds that is transported by steam
boats, and during the season heavy
