CHERRY"
Quite Compliment to Greensboro's
Fire Laddies.

Our readers will remember the
very successful presentation a
few years ago by the Eagle Dra-
matte Club of "The Firempn's s
Heart" an original drama by
Mrs. Beatrice Marean, OF Ocala,
Fla. This play made such a hit
that it was repeated several
times, both here and at Winston,
and always to crowded houses.
1t was a thrilling and interesting
performance.
1t is our pleasure to announce
that Mrs. Marean has Just writ
ten another drama, this one in
compliment TO the Greensboro
Fire Department, and dedicated
to the E3 gle Hose Co., No. J.,
which will be introduced upon the
stage IN thit city by the Eagle
Dramatic Club exclusively.
The drama is entitled "Cherry,
or Labor VS.. Capital,' and is
specially adapted 20 amateur
performers. 1t is full of interest
from beginning to end, the plot is
good and contains many scenes
which call forth the actors best
efforts, whether beginner or con-
noiseur.
It's first presentation will be
made sometime in January at the
Academy of Music. Mrs. Beat
rice Marean, the author, accom-
panied by her daughter, and the
original little ''Hyacinth' in
"The Fireman's Heart" and a
few friends from Ocala, will be
present to witness the rendition
of the play.
The author of the drama holds
a prominent place in Southern
literature, having written several
novels and dramas, all of which
have met with success.
The people of Greensboro will
be glad to welcome her to North
Carolina and to our city, and we
feel sure that her new production
will meet with an enthusiastic re.
ception here. Greensboro Daily

when to Plant Trees.

EARLY fall is an excellent time for
planting trees" writes Thomas Nee
han in the Ladies' Home Journal. "By
early is meant as soon as the wood is
ripe and the winter buds fully formed.
This is usually month before the reg
ular fall of the leaf. The leaves are
stripped by hand. After the wood is
ripe it makes no difference whether
the leaves are taken off by Jack Frost,
the wind or the human hand. In the
eastern part of Pennsylvania this would
be usually about the list of Septem-
ber, and the work of planting can be
kept up during October, and often to
November or December. But late fall
planting in cold climates is as risky as
late spring planting. The moisture is
dried out by cold winds or hot suns be-
plenish the great evaporation. In
milder climates planting may be a sue
cess all winter"

forest to where the Cuban camp was
situated-in strong position in the
hills to the east.
All night long we travelled, pausing
only occasionally for brief rest, or to
drink at some stream. And most OF
the tramp was up hill, too. But dark
as was the night, and thick though the
forests through which the alleged path
lay, the Cuban guide pushed on with
out faltering, the carriers following
and the horsemen bringing up the
rear.
The forenoon was well advanced
when we came 10 an open space on a
hilltop where, amid some bushes
shaded by clump of palms, we found
some Cubans on the watch for our
coming. This was but an outpost, the
camp occupying a strongly fortified po-
sition across little ravine further on,
above which steep precipices rose. On
closer inspection l found that the only
practicable way to that hill top was
that by which we had gone, and hun
dred men could have held it against an
army corps.
Two days after we started back, but
before leaving l witnessed the execu-
ton of the traitor. He was tried, con-
victed and hanged on tree. AS we
were leaving, five minutes after, the
captain of the escort suddenly vaulted
from his saddle and sent several bul.
let's into the swaying body.
"Ah! That's for u lucky trip to u.s."
he cried, exultantly, as the last shot
cut clear through the cord and let the
half-dead body fall with a sickenina
thud.
At this there was chorus of yells
and "Vivas!" upon "Vivas!" rent the
air. The whole camp seemed to be in
an uproar of delight. OF course, il
was really ail the rottenest supersti.
ton; but the Cubans believed it to be
an omen of good luck, and went or
their perilous way rejoicing.
For my part, did not feel so we'll al
ease. / bethought me that there wer,
more Spaniards left in Santiago to lool
after us. Sure enough, however, w.
got through without a hitch, and ais,
sheaked into Jamaica unseen aud uu
suspected. It. y. PORTER.

HIVES MADE ar hoME.
Those with the Lenst Fixtures Are
the Most Sntinfn Glory.

the Most Satisfactory,
The kind and size of hive is a most
bewildering question for beginners
The hive to meet the demands of bee.
keepers in general is the one with the
least fixtures. The Quimby frame, or
one of about that size, has won the fa-
vor of the apiarist in this locality. The
hive we prefer is made of seven-eighth
inch pine planed on both sides, 20 inch
square outside measure, and 10 inches
in depth, with hand holes in the sides.
The upper and lower stories are alike.
The front board is "a inch narrower,
thus leaving an entrance "a by20inches.
A slat "a by "a by 20 inches is used to
control the size of the entrance. The
bottom board has cleat 1 by 1 inch
on each end, to prevent curling around
on the under side. If two boards are
used they should be matched.
The rabbet on which the frames hang
is furnished with improved tin. The
alighting board has a cleat "a by "a
inch on each end and is by 90 inches
A piece of inch hoop iron inches long
is bent almost on square; one is nailed
at each end of the alighting board on
the top side by one end; the other end
has a three-cornered hole to be hung on
two screws, one at each end, at the
proper height to bring the top of the
alighting board even with the lower
side of the entrance. The bottom board
as well as the upper and lower stories
are held in place by the Van Deusen
hive clamp; they may be used without.
The furniture for this hive consists of a
division board 11A by 1s1s inches, with
top bar 1a by " by 10 inches scant
measure. 1t is made of 1s inch lumber
with cleat u by N inch on each end to
prevent curling. The frames are 17A
by 11R inches outside measure.
The top bar is made so as to form a
comb guide and is 10 inches scant. The
bottom bars are "a by by 1872 inches;
the ends 11h by IA inches. The hive
contains the division board and from l
to 12 frames according to the re-
quirements of the swarm it contains
prefer an upper entrance to a
shade board; it saves the bees going up
| stairs "on foot" and the result is more
honey. When the flow of honey is large
as in the clover and Eastwood season.
| the upper entrance should be full size
when the second story is first set on and
the flow light, the entrance should be
small. When the robbers get in line OF
battle and when the nights become
cold toward fall, the entrance should be
nearly closed.~-Rural World.

CONVENIENT FEED BOX.

to devour more or less amount of dirt,
which is usually of such nature as to
be no good to them. In order to avoid
this, L would suggest that feedbox be
made, having a door of Stats made of
laths, as shown herewith; also, on the
side opposite from the door, l should
have Stats, as seen from the inside of the
box. Place the food in this, shut the
door, and the fowls can reach the food
from each side readily between the
Stats, but cannot soil it. Furthermore,
a dish of water can be set within it, and
the fowls can reach through and drink,
but they cannot pollute it as they other
wise would. BY this device, stray cats
and dogs have no chance of getting at
the food, should it happen to be of
nature palatable to them, and stealing
it away from the fowls. The semi
rotundity of the roof is to keep the
fowls from roosting on it-Frederick
o. Sibley, in N. Y. Tribune.

grow well at higher temperature, but
are likely to lack vigor and hardness.
The seedlings may be grown in pots,
which will facilitate transplanting at
any time, or they may be transplanted
in nursery rows early in April when
one year old. Plants two years old are
generally regarded as best for final
planting. At this age they vary from
20 to 40 inches in height.
When set out for ornamental pur-
poses, the camphor tree may be expect
ed to grow, in favorable situations,
about as rapidly as LIE Conte pear, and
to require about as much room. In
Japan, where the law requires that
new tree shall be set out for every one
cut, they are not generally set in
straight orchard rows, but cultivation
there is performed almost exclusively
by hand labor. There are no records
showing results of regular orchard
planting, hence the distances at which
trees should be planted must be de-
termined by the size and form of the
trees and the method of cultiva tion and

set closely in rows about ten feet apart,
and alternate rows cut and reset every
five years, thus producing bush-like
plants of ten years growth. They may
be planted in checks ten feet square,
and alternate trees cut every ten or
twelve years, or they may be planted in
larger checks, and all of the trees be
cut at the age of Is or 20 years.
There are not sufficient data obtain
able upon which to base definite state
ments as to the best methods of plant
ing or the age at which the trees may
be cut with greatest profit for the pro-
duction of gum. A recent English con-
sular report from Japan states that
"although hitherto the youngest wood
from which camphor was extracted was
about 10 to so years old, it is expected
that under the present scientific man
agement the trees will give equally
good results after 25 or 80 years." Cam
phor of good quality has been produced
in Florida from the leaves and twigs of
trees less than 90 years old, one pound
of crude gum being obtained from II
pounds of leaves and twigs.
The trees will endure severe pruning
with little apparent injury. One-third
of the leaves and young shoots may be
removed at one time without material
ly checking the growth of the tree. The
largest proportion of camphor is con-
tanned in the older, larger roots; the
trunk, limbs, twigs and leaves contain
ing successfully a decreasing proper
ton. When the camphor tree is killed
nearly to the ground fby frost it sends
up vigorous shoots from the base. 1t
may be expected to do the same when
cut, especially if cut late in the fall. Ex-
periments are needed to determine
whether this growth may be depended
upon, or whether it will be more profit
able to dig out the larger roots and set
out new seedlings.-Lyster II. Dewey,
Assistant in Division of Botany, Depart
ment of Agriculture.
