PLANTING AN ORCHARD.
An Improvement Upon the Method
Now I'm Vogue Suggested.

IL is n common observation that the
outrows of trees In established or
chards are finer and more productive
than the trees In the interior planta-
ton. This superiority Is all the more
conspicuous il the orchard is bordered
by cultivated fields, and II is fair 10
presume the extra luxuriance is owing
TO the trees having a greater extent OF
unoccupied soil for the ramifcation OF
their roots. Something is also UNI
doubtedly due TO the greater space
available for the expansion and spread
OF the branches; but IL is in accordance
with all experience In the cultivation OF
plants that a rotation OF crops is abb
solutely essential toward securing the
best results of the fertility Of the soil.
Keeping these facts In view, it Is sug-
gested that an improvement upon the
present method of planting orchards
would be gained by planting two rows
OF trees from is TO rs or more feet apart,
depending upon the nature OF the
trees, and alternating the plants in the
rows. Then allow space, varying in
extent from 300 feet 10 any greater dis
lance, before planting another series
Of rows. and SO increase the plantation
as may be desired. The intervening
spaces between these double rows OF
trees would be available for the culti-
walton OF the ordinary crops OF the
farm. The roots OF the trees would not
only participate in the benefits of cul-
tivation, but would have practically
unlimited room for extension before
meeting other roots Of their kind I'm
mediately under the trees and for dis
lance on each side Of the rows as far as
the branches spread the surface could
be kept in grass. II not sown down inn
mediately after planting. which might
not be desirable in all cases, IL should
be done after the trees attain a fruit
bearing size, or from five 10 seven years
after setting out. The shelter which
will be afforded 10 other crops by these
orchards win be found valuable as n
protection from winds as well as in for
warding early crops. This method Is
particularly applicable TO apple and
pear trees.--Dakota Field and Farm

GOOD USE FoR WEEDS.
When Properly Cared For They Make
Good Fertilizer.

Summer heat, when il comes, starts
numerous and enterprising crop OF
weeds into active life. These may be
easily controlled by the frequent use Of
the iron rake, which stiles them at
birth. But If, through inattention,
they get the start OF the gardener and
reed to bc reduced by the hoe, they
should be attacked vigorously at the
first chance and not allowed TO perfect
and drop their seed into the soil Pull
up and shake the larger ones when not
SO near as TO endanger valuable plants
thereby, and hoe up all others, not
merely scraping the ground over, but
raking il up and pulyerizing il while
roofing out the weeds. These may
then, while still green and succulent be
ralxed together and put into the com
post heap, where they will be obliged TO
return TO the gardener all that they
have purloined from his soil. This
compost heap may, 10y little care, be
made quite an important factor in the
fertility OF the garden. Not only all
weeds, but, as crops mature, all the
garden refuse not used for mulching
other plants, may be put into II, wet
thoroughly and covered with a little
earth and thus rotted down and re-
tanned for use as so much homemade
fertilizer. II should be established in
some out-of-the-way corner; hole
dug few feet deep TO accommodate 1T
will be found convenient and the con-
tents drenched with hose from time TO
time to promote decomposition, after
which Few shovclfuls Of earth will de-
lay evaporation and help retain the
gases. When used the addition of wood
ashes and bone dust, OF course, makes
il by so much the richer.--Boston Tran

Inning for Luetecrt Defense.

Chicago. Sept. 27.-The strongest wit
ness for the defense who has appeared
in the Luetgert trial was on the stand
Saturday. The witness was Mary Stem
ering, the domestic in the Luetgert
household, for love OF whom IL is
charged by the state that the prisoner
murdered his wife. She denied in a
most positive manner that she had been
the disturbing element between Luet-
CERT and his wife, and said that neither
by night or by day, alone or in company,
had she ever visited Luetgcrt in his
factory or elsewhere in an improper
manner. She insisted that the prisoner
had always been good TO his wife, and
that in her opinion the latter was out
OF her mind, and had been so for some
time prior 20 her disappearance.

complete the outside row. As this will
interfere very little with the planting
OF fruit trees over the whole interior
surface OF the two acres, il Will be seen
that on given amount of ground one
can raise much more fruit 10y using
this outside hedgerow method. IL is
possible to crowd the little trees in a
hedgerow, because they will be on the
outside, and can thus have plenty Of air
and sunshine, though very close in the
row; and though the row of dwarf pear
trees may be quite close to the inside,
larger fruit trees, the latter are not
crowded by the former, since they stand
up above them. This sort OF work IS
not advisable on large commercial or
chards, but on the home acre in the VIII
lage lot, one wishes 10 make the most
OF every foot OF ground.
Planting so many of these little pear
trees, selected winter sorts, and chose
that king among pears, the Anjou, and
the scarcely less inferior Lawrence.
Both these pears do finely on the ounce
stock, and both are winter varieties.
With such fruit one can store in cool
cellar and unload upon the market
when the market is most in need of win
ter pears. With fall fruit one is very
nearly at the mercy of the market, for
he cannot hold the fruit for any length
OF time.
My own trees are set about four feet
apart. In future paintings l shall in
crease the distance somewhat. In set
ting the trees be careful TO get the point
where the pear stock and ounce root
ioin several inches below the surface
and for the first winter, at least, give
the roots mulch for protection

Thing OF beauty.
There are numerous shrubs that are
suitable for making hedges about ones
lawn, whether one prefers evergreens
or deciduous shrubs, but the number is
limited that can be used In hedgerows
that are of both use and beauty. The
barberry is one of the latter, these
bushes making very graceful but not
densely leaved, growth; but the bar
berry's fruit is not desired In large
quantities, nor is 1t n desirable plant

one stage Of the rust" fungus OF the
wheat.
On my place am planting hedgerows
of dwarf pear trees, using winter vari-
cites of the fruit almost exclusively.
Such n hedgerow Is, OF course, hardly
suitable for the front Of ones lawn, but
for side rows, and for use in the rear of
ones house, the dwarf pear is quite un-
Objectionable. AS for beauty-well,
anyone who has seen a long row OF
these little trees in full blossom will not
soon forget the sight. They are very
attractive little trees, also, when In
full leaf, without the bloom, as they
should be kept well trimmed back TO
secure good fruiting, as well as a good
hedge. 1t is surprising, too, what an
amount of fruit one can thus raise upon

am running n pear hedge around two

Exodus from Mobile ON Account of

Louisville. KY. Sept. 2s.-Rumors
having gained wide currency 10 the ef-
feet that 500 yellow fever cases existed
at Mobile. Ala, and that the city was
being deserted by thousands, cor
respondent there was wired for a true
statement OF the facts. In reply he
says that the facts regarding the re-
ported exodus are that about 1000 peo-
pie out of a population OF 10000 have
left town during the past two weeks.
Very few are now leaving. Very many
people who could go have not been
stampeded and are there now arranging
their business. All stores and indus
trial establishments in town are open.
The reports OF the depopulation are
sensational i'm the extreme. As 20 there
being 500 sick, that is untrue.

New Orleans, Sept. 20.-The yellow

up. But, while there is no sign Of an
epidemical visitation, the slow progress
OF the disease puts obstacles daily in
the way of the merchant public. who
are anxious TO again resume trade with
the surrounding country. The record
Tuesday was not unlike that OF many
other days, in that it showed a death

J.R. Young had quite an accident
out west of the river Wednesday. He
was riding in his buggy and leading
some colts when one of them scared at
something and jumped into the front
end of the buggy. This frightened
the horse he was driving and it ran
away, tipped the buoy over, threw
Mr.. Young out, and dragged him
quite a distance. He held onto the
reins till the horses stopped. He is
pretty badly bruised up and his bug
gy was demolished.
