CULTIVATION OF THE SWEET
CHERRY ORCHARD.

believe that clean culture should
generally be stopped by June 18th or
Jnly 1st, 30 Rs to check growth and
give the wood time to ripen. The ad-
vantages of this treatment are also
pointed out in the bulletin 70, upon The
Cultivation of Orchards" Whenever
the growth becomes too luxuriant, it
can be checked by seeding year with
clover.
A certain cherry orchard has stood in
sod for fifteen years in An ideal soil and
situation. The trees are making little
growth and are filed with dead limEs,
and while there was a heavy crop Of
cherries this year, the size was small,
quality poor, and one half were rotting
on the trees. In striking contrast was
neighboring orchard which had been
ploWed Lightly in the early spring and
had had a harrow run over it oLc8 q
week up to the middle of June, and al
though there had been a severe drought,
the trees had made a good growth and
were loaded with luscious fruit of large
size. The latter orchardist believes
that be can produce as large cherries
as the Calitornians can, By high cult
walton and the conservation Of moist
ure the early part Of the season.
AS a meansof holding moisture, he is
putting humus in the soil By cover crops,
and expects to check, too. luxuriant
growth by seeding the orchard when
ever it becomes necessary. While dry
ness is a universal maxim for the cherry.
it is advantageous to conserve moisture
during the development of the fruit,
and the example furnished by this
orchard convinces me that the fruit
can be increased one-half in size by
thorough light cultivation up to the
middle Of June.-N. Y. Farmer.

no wages or salary. A great many
farmers, instead OF making any money,
are annually falling behind; this, too,
IN the face Of the fact that thew and
their families work hard and intelli-
gently, live economically, and are
blessed with seasons tha5 give them
good crops. With prices of farm prod
ucts below cost of producti n, the
wages or salaries of the millions of
Workingmen on the farms are cut off,
and their purchasing ability being de
stroyed or greatly crippled, the mer
chants and manufacturers have lost
patronage to such an extent that many
of them have been compelled to close
their doors. They cannot, says the
Journal OF Agriculture, get along with
out patrons. It is to the highest inter
est OF manufacturers and merchants to
favor governmental policies that foster
agriculture, for 10 other legitinate in
dustry can prosper while tie basic in
dustry is depressed.

FICTITIOUS" MESSAGE.
Rumors that such message was in the
convention aroused the Lone Star dele
gates to frenzy and Stump Ashley demand
ed to know IL there was message from
Bryan on the secretarys table. Chairman
Allen promptly responded that there was
not. but that there was some talk of a
fictitious message somewhere. but that
he had not seen 1t. Literally, of course,
Senator Allen was correct. He said after
wards in explanation of his action that
Bryan was the overwhelming choice of the
convention. that the telegram. whatever
II was, was not addressed to the conven-
ton or to Populst delegate: that 1T was
purely Democratic negotiation and some
thing with which a Populist convention
had nothing to do.
When the roll call was completed il was
found that Bryan had .0i7 votes. Frank S.
Norton. of Chicago, was the only other
candidate. Ignatius Donnelly of Minnesota,
and General Coxey. of industrial army
fame. were nominated but their names
were withdrawn. Norton received 331 votes.
Eugene V. Debs S. Donnelly and Coxey

see this result only in the withdrawal of

There is, as there has been for some days.
talk Of Sewairs voluntary withdrawal, but
after the stand Mr.. Bryan and Senator
Jones have taken this is not considered
probable. 1t is strongly intimated tonight
that Watson may be induced to withdraw
in the interest of such q union. 1t should
be said however, that this is intimated by
those who wish it most. By comforting up
on the national Populist committee plenary
powers those who are so earnestly striving
for an actual consolidation of the strength
of the silver forces created the machinery
by which any sort of terms can be arrang-
ed. But what will happen the future alone
can disclose.

plan is to divide the electors in each
state according to the strength of the
Populist and Democratic parties. The
stronger candidate to take all the
electors after the election. This, they
contend, will insure the election of a
silver man, whereas, if each party puts
up a separate candidate and did not
fuse on electors, the silver vote would
be divided and the fight for silver lost.
