NEW ENGLAND CROPS.

Boston, Mass, Tuesday, July 13.--The high temperature and bright sunshine have made the week the best growing period of the season and produced rapid and healthy growth of every crop. The intense heat continued al- most unabated through the week. Vio- lent local storms occurred in western and northern New England on the 9th and Eth, badly washing roads, etc., but so far as reported no extensive damage was caused to crops In Connecticut, Rhode Island and eastern Massachu- setts the rainfall was small, and more Is needed.
 Maine.
 With the fine growing weather of the past week all crops have improved to a marked extent, although still backward for the season of the year. Having has begun on early fields, and will begin in earnest this week. The crop will be good generally; best on uplands. Pota- toes are looking much better in north- ern and eastern counties. Corn has been benefited. but is small; oats grow ing nicely.

 All crops have felt the influence of the hot weather and improved rapidly especially corn and potatoes The hay crop is In general we'll secured so far without injury. Early sown oats are heading. Barley gaining fast. The | strawberry season was short and small yield. A partial crop of apples is indi- cated; probably a full crop of pears. Large yield of entrants and other small | berries, also tomatoes. Potato and pumpkin bugs are working havoc in | some localities.

then the work is done, and in two
more years you will have live, grow
ing cabbage palmetto fence at least
seven feet in height, completely turn
ing all domestic live stock, including
the penetrating and persistent piney-
woods pig; and it is meanwhile grow
ing and making it's proportions for
one of the best windbreaks known to
we wind-shaken Florida coasters. 1t
will be seen that the two and one-half
to three feet that is cleared on each
side the plants admits of cultivating
with pillow or cutilvator, consequently
very little hand-hoeing will be need
ed: and if lands are such that fertiliz-
ers are needed, they can be easily
applied, and you are keeping up
good line of forest fire protection as
well.
After this, if you should want to
preserve it's efficiency as wind-break,
which, you no doubt will; all it asks
of you then is to give your close
companionship every January, by
carefully breaking off and raking up
all the dead fans, which are we'll
worth the trouble of gathering up
and hauling into the barnyard for
litter, or on the grove or anywhere
upon your lands where it will be out
of danger of fire until it rots for fer
tilizer. This yearly cleaning warrants
against loss by fire, of it's usefulness
for this purpose.
When the trees reach the stage OF
shedding their boots or stem bases,

singly does not take place under 30
years of age) and their hard, trunk
stage is reached the space between
them that has been previously filled
by the stems and boots will be six to
eight inches in width; the trees will
be ten to twelve inches in diameter
according to their thrift.
Then, if a rabbit and pig-proot

be on both sides, in order to keep
them properly balanced. One of the
greatest qualities of this fence is that
when it attains a height of ten feet
(and is trimmed nicely), which it will
do in as many years q mean the
trunk will be that high, while the
fans will reach three to five feet
above that), it will then be difficult
for persons to get over without the
aid of ladders, and this difficulty will
be increased as the trees grow older.

James Crockett, a sturdy old Scotch
man, living in Detroit, Mich, at SS
Montcalm Street, was asked about his
wonderful cure.

Scotland in 1922, and came to this
country in 184S. 1 am a marine en-
gineer by trade. In 1872 1 was in the
employ of the Detroit and Cleveland
Navigation Co., and for fifteen years
l was chief engineer on one of their
big passenger steamers. My first
boat was the r. N. Rice, which was
burned at the docks. Then 1 was
transferred to the Rubie, which was
chartered to make the run between
Detroit and Cleveland.

City of the Straits,' and for years act

responsibility, the position of chief
engineer ON those big passenger pal
aces Thousands of lives are held in
the keeping of the engineer. The
anxiety causes great nervous strain,
and the strictest attention is neces-
sary. Not for moment must he lose
his watchfulness.

nervous prostration, and had de-
stroyed my whole nervous system
and would never be able to be up
again. They said [ had worn myself
out by the long nervous strain caused
by watching and worrying about the
machinery. For three long years |
was unable to move from my bed
without assistance. The doctor said
[ had locomotor ataxia, and would
never be able to walk again.
''The pains and suffering [ expert

left me, and 1 was given up. The doc
tors said nothing more could be done
for me.

my wife kept reading the articles
about DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People to me. Finally she said
they only cost SO cents, and she want
ed to know if I would try them. To
please her l consented, and the first
box gave me relief. [ continued to

The old Callowhill street horse cars,

gentleman boarded one of these cars the
other night about 1890 O'Clock and

appeared. Say, Bill" it called back
to the conductor, "won't you run over
to the drug store and buy me stamp?
I've got to write to my girl tonight "
Nothing loath, Bill did as requested and,
after short chat with the clerk, saun-
tered leisurely back to his car. At Six
teenth street the lady and gentleman
alighted, expecting to take north
bound car, but none was in sight. Turn
ing to the conductor, the gentleman re-
marked jostingly: "You kept us waiting
while you got your stamp. Why not
wait here until our car comes?' Bill
motioned to the driver, who was watch

wants me to wait here until their car
comes. Can't we do it?" "Why, cert, "

were blocked, and it was ten minutes
before one came along. Good night, "

The Old Tree.

The "old tree" one Of Lexington's
famous landmarks, was lately noticed to
be decaying, owing to it's age. 1t is now
over $50 years old and was in a very
good state of preservation until recent
years. The old tree is situated in front
of the Buchanan tavern, whose walls are
riddled with bullets from the battle in
1875. So it is supposed that there are
also many more imbedded in the heart
of the old tree. In 1889 it was used to
raise the steeple of the first meeting
house Oh the common, rope being at
tached to it and extended across the
street Boston Herald.
