How TO Feed Orchards.

A system of manuring for Guilt
waiting orchards, based upon the
limited data at our disposal, may
be outlined as follows: To provide
vegetable matter and to improve
the physical quality of poor soils,
apply yard manure once in four
years, in fall or winter, at the rate
of five to ten tons per acre. To aid
in the decomposition of vegetable
matter and to insure a sufficiency
of lime as plant food, apply 20
bushels per acre once in five years.
To provide, in addition, an album
dance of all forms of the available
plant food at the time of need for
development of the tree and fruit,
apply annually chemical fertilizers
in the following proportions: Nit
rate of soda 100 lbs, S. G. rock
superphosphate 100 lbs, ground
bone 200 Tbs, muriate of potash 200
lbs. The amount to be applied de-
ponds on the character of the soil,
the kind of fruit, and the age and
vigor of the trees; these given per-
haps mark the minimum. By the
introduction of crimson clover, we
have a plant admirably adapted to
cheaply supply heterogeneous vegeta
BILE matter for orchards, and its
growth is to be recommended
wherever the plant can be success

ROBBERY OF THE TREASURY.

Upon one point do Protecsionists
agree with the Free Trade admin
istration, and that is that the treas
ury is being robbed by importers
through fraudulent invoices. When
the German Tariff was being dis
cussed in Congress the Republican
members clearly explained what
the effect of change from specific
to ad valorem duties would be.
But the Democrats, with their
limited wisdom, of course knew
better. The treasury has paid for
its experience The dishonest
manufacturer abroad and his dis
honest importer here do the thiev-
ing. The honest manufacturer
and the honest importer have to go
out of business, or thieve, too.
The swearing is mere matter of

has invented a combination of a
Master Car Builders coupler and
pipe coupler, which fully meets all
requirements. This coupler is SO
constructed, as described by Mr..
Edwards, that the pin which con-
meets the swinging jaw to the
drawhead will be relieved Of strain.
x x A cushion furnishes a
yielding movement, both forward
and rearward Of the pivoted jaw,
just enough-at the right time and
place-to prevent breakage and
binding, SO that the brakeman
can uncouple in a second, by one
motion, and does not require the
engineer to back up the train, to
give slack, so the brakeman can
uncouple, as has to be done in the
use of all other couplers.' The
uncoupling can be done without
regard to the amount Of pulling
strain brought to bear and requires
but a second Of time. The air on
the air-brake is also cut off by
closing the stop-cocks at the ends
Of both cars and also uncouples
the hose whether on up or down
grade, on a level or on curve,
and when the cars are moving
either backward or forward. The
operation is performed by one mo-
ton of the crank shaft, from either
side of the cars. This shaft is
under the cars and out Of the way.
The Edwards Coupler never fails
to make coupling, and it is the
strongest one made, as it yields
sufficiently to take off the pressure,
and thus prevents binding and
breaking. 1t will last longer than
any four others now in use, can be
operated by a boy, and prevents
danger to brakemen. 1t has re-
ceived the endorsement of every
railroad man who has seen it. To
fully convince any practical man
as to the merits Of this invention,
it is only necessary to call upon
Mr.. Edwards, at the corner of
Thirteenth and Vine streets, where
it can be seen of full size, attached
to two cars, which, when coupled
together, are 10 feet long, and as
high as an ordinary freight car.
With the full sized eouplers of the
Edwards Coupler and Pipe Coupler
are also two couplers now in use
of the M. c. B. Coupler. The
superiority of the former will be
at once seen. Call and be con-
WINGED that these statements are
all true, and that by its use rail
roads will save millions of dollars
in breakage and loss of time, and
also protect brakemen and facili-
tate both his and the engineer
work. For full particulars address
R. J. Edwards & Co., Philadelphia
or Galena, III. Having inspected
the Edwards Coupler and Pipe
Coupler, we agree that it is the
greatest invention ever made in
that line"

THE BEST EVER DEVISED.

invested Impractical car coupler
which is highly mentioned in the
last issue Of the Philadelphia Jour
nal of Commerce. We publish a
clipping from the journal" by
request, for those who may be in
terested, as follows:
"To any but practical railroad
men it would seem as if the con-
struction of an efficient and reliable
car coupler would not prove diff
cult task, but experience proves
the contrary. For many years
both inventive ingenuity and me-
chanical skill have been devoted to
this object, and until recently per-
fectly satisfactory results have
never been attained. The problem
has at last been solved by Mr.. J
R. Edwards, of Galena, H., who
