HINTS on FLAMING ORCHARDS.

Trees are oftener set too close to-
gether than too far apart; in fact, the
latter error scarcely exists. Trees are
wide feeders, and the best results are
obtained when each tree stands far
enough from its neighbors to allow it
to possess an individuality all its own.
An additional reason for sparse plant
ing has lately become important-the
necessity of spraying for insect and
fungouS peStS-and for this reason, as
well as to allow of better cultivation.
the outside rows should not be set
close to fences. The distance at which
trees may be set depends much upon
the system of pruning. If heading-in
is followed vigorously and system
atically, trees may be set a third nearer
than if allowed to take their natural
form. Heading-in should always be
practiced with dwarf pears, and many
of our best growers pursue it with
peaches, plumS and ounces. For my
self, l have always advised thin plant
ing as the safer rule for the majority
of cases The following table may be
supposed to represent the outside aver
age limit for the planting of orchards,
when the trees are allowed TO take
their natural form:
Apples, 40 feet each way; pears.
standard, 20 to 25 feet; pears, dwarf, II
feet to rod; ounces, l rod peaches.
20 feet; plums, 20 feet; aDricots. 20
feet; grapes, 6xS to Sx10; currants. Axe
to 6xS; blackberries, 4x7 to 6x9; rasp-
berries, 3x6 to 5XS.
These are safe distances. In certain
cases, however, where the soil is strong
and the grower makes thorough work
of cultivating, pruning and fertilizing,
these distances can be reduced some
what with profit, except in the case
of apples. These remarks will so apply
to the common question whether it is
good policy to plant short-lived trees,
as peaches. between apples and pears.
1t all depends upon the man. In gem
eral. I should discourage it; but if the
orchardist gives the very best atten-
ton to fertilizing and cultivating,
plantations can be mixed with good re-
suits.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The campaign
closed in this state last night The Dem

Bryan and Sewall in a seemingly per-
functory way With Senator Hill siIent'
William c. Whitney an aYoWeu MGhlIl-
ley man, and Ex-Governor Roswell +.
Flower and other leaders stumplng LOT
Palmer and Buckner, II has been a splr-
itlesS campaign.
The rational Democrats have .conuucleu
a warm campaign or Palmer and Buchher
and are confident of making a showing az
the polls which will justify them IN con-
tinuing their organiZat ton for future Work.
The Prohibition and Socialist-Labor
parties have made their usual quiet cam
paigns-
The Peor-e's party. after vain attempts
to obtain recognition on the Democratc
electoral ticket, endorsed the Bryan ana
SewaIl elecors and took down their state
ticket. with the exception of their nominee
for Judge CT the court of appeals.
The Republicans expect to carry the
state for Mckinley by from 10000 up
wards They expect TO elect Frank y
Black governor and to capture the con
gressional delegation of "a with possibly
two exceptions They count upon elect
ing 100 out Of the 80 members OF the
state legislature, thus insuring the cleo
ton of a Republican to succeed David b.

carrying the state for Bryan by 4O,OOO
He looks for a Democratic plurality OF

PIGEONS oUT'WIT A HAWK.
Timid Birds Proved More Than a
Matci, for Their Natural Enemy

Mattel, for Their Natural Enemy.
Sports Afield: An observing south
ern sportsman told recently about a
flock of pigeons that measured brains
with a hawk and came out on top in
the contest. H S. Edwards owned a
flock of pigeons which one day were
cut off from their cote by large hawk.
The pigeons knew that if the hawk
once got above them one at least of
their number would go to make the
hawk a meal, and so up they flew in
circles, perhaps going higher than the
hawk. The latter kept under the pig
cons and leisurely followed their Ia
borious movements
Then came a curious and unexpected
sight to Mr.. Edwards. Every pigeon
closed its wings, and they appeared to
be in the size of sDarrows, and down
they came past the hawk at a terrific
rate. That astonished the hawk. 1t
actually lodged the dropping birds and
missed half a dozen wing strokes be-
fore 1T got in full chase of them. When
1t got down to the barnyard not a
pigeon was in sight-some were in
the cote, some in the porch, two in the
Wellhouse and one in the kitchen. The
haWk had been outwitted completely.
1t is question how the pigeons man
aged TO check their fall, as they did
not slacken up till they were about 16
or 70 feet above the ground. when they
scattered in all directions to escape the
hawk - -

ETIQUETTE IN SPAIN.
There the People Are PunctiliousIy
Polite at All Times.

Detroit Free Press: Spaniards
have some rules of etiquette that
would prove surprising to the aver
age easy going American. Take,
for instance, the rules governing
visits. When the first call is made by
lady, she is expected to arrive in a
carriage, that being considered a mark
of high respect. Should the person
called upon be absent from home, the
visitor is expected to leave her card
with one end turned over, and in one
corner is to be written bne 'qitaa.s Il,
P, meaning en- persona, or in person
Upon ringing the bell the visitor is
usually greeted by an unseen person
with the words, "Quien esp or Who
there?" to which should be replied
"Gente de paz," or persons of peace
Entering, the visitor is conducted to
the best room in the house, led up to a.
sofa and placed to the right of the
hostess. On rising to take leave the
proper form is to exclaim in the case
of a lady, Sonora, I place myself at
your feet" She will answer in a sim
ilarly f1gurative way by saying: It
kiss your hand. May you depart with
God and continue well!' Feminine
visitors are saluted with kiss, both
upon their arrival and departure. 1t
is considered an objectionable breach
offer to shake hands with a Spanish
lady. Another decidedly Objectionable
proceeding, in Spanish eyes, is to offer
a lady ones arm when walking with
her. Should a Spanish gentleman so
far forget himself as to offer his arm
to his wife, he would be looked upon
an lamentably ignorant of the laws of
etiquette governing good society in the
land of his birth.
Another noticeable custom is that
when walking with a Spaniard in
Spain it is considered the height of i'll
manners to walk on the inside This
is the place of honor and should al
ways be given to the native. When
a well bred Spaniard meets a lady on
the street, he always passes to the out
side, thus making way for her, but with
men this rule is not observed. Who
ever has the wall on his right hand in
the narrow streets is entitled to keep
it,
These are some of the most noted pc
culiarities of the rigorous rules govern
ing Spaniards Of polite breeding. They
are Dunctilious almost to the point of
absurdity in most things, but their po-
likeness is of a kind that wears well.

VIRTUES OF THE APPLE.

DR.. G. r. Searlas in the Detroit Bull
letin of Pharmacy points out that the
apple is such a common fruit that very
few persons are familiar with its re-
markable eficacious medicinal proper
ties. Everybody ought to know that
the very best thing they can do is to
eat apples just before retiring for eae
night. Persons uninitiated in the mys-
teries of the fruit are liable to throw
up their hands in horror at the visions
of dyspepsia which such a suggestion
may summon up, but no harm can
come to even a delicate system by the
eating Of ripe and juicy apples just
before going to bed. The apple is ex-
cellent brain food, because it has more
phosphoric acid, in easily dGgesked
shape, than other fruits. 1t excites the
action of the liver, promotes sound ard
healthy sleep, and thoroughly dfsinfects
the mouth. This is not all. The apple
helps the kidney secretions and pre-
vents calculus growtLls, while it CD
viates indigestion and is one CT tho
best known oreventives of disease of
the throat. Everybody should be ia
miliar with such knowledge

that two-tElirds of the premium butter
AT the winter fairs is also made from

that one still hears SO much about the
unhealthful effect of ensilage upon the
cows. When I see hundreds of cows SO
fed, and find them Gaining in flesh,
shedding their coats early, and in hair
as smooth as a race horse in March, -
can it be that such cattle are I'M
healthy? To my mind. the coming
summer soiling crop will be a pit of en-
silage put up the fall before, and we
shall dispense with all this pottering
and fuss with q succession of soiling
crops that fail half of the time, and
their loss is made good with added
grain. Nothing will be discovered

BUrTERsIAKING on THE FARM.

Strictly speaking, the dairy farmer has
just this use for a COW, viz. as a machine
for converting the different cattle foods
into butter fat He is manufacturer,
and it is a law of economics, that the pro-

/ shall pillow my orchard the fore
part of this month, so that the sol
will hold all the winter rain right
uneven places in the soil, much of the
rain will run off of these places and
they Will not get sufficient water. Aim
to get every inch of ground well
soaked this winter. If we do have
early rains l shall turn on the irrigat-
ing water and soften the ground so
can pillow deep. Discretion must be
used in blowing so as not to disturb
seriously the roots of the trees. After
each rain l shall go over the ground
with a fine toothed cultivator, and
keep the surface loose and free from
weeds. The manure from the barn
yards should all be drawn upon the
land and either plowed or cultivated
into the soil. Rye may also be sown
to pillow under for green manure next
spring. Every crop we take from the
soil reduces its fertility, and plant food
in some shape must be returned or the
soil will become exhausted.
If you have any trees that have died
from any cause, or are improbable,
dig them out and have the ground
ready to put in profitable trees later
on.
The young stock will need extra care
as the cold rains come on. Warm,
dry quarters, with daily grain ration
will pay. Educate the two-year-old
colts to drive to harness. Do not
break your colts, but educate them.
Patient, gentle, firm treatment will
produce a much more valuable animal
than harsh treatment. The chief thing
to overcome in colts is fear, not stub
bornness.
Eggs are at a good price now be-
cause the hens are not laying many.
Encourage them by feeding little

they have plenty of sharp grit with
