Protection to Trees.

The best protection of all against
jack rabbits and cotton-tails, says a
writer in Rural New Yorker, is wire
screen, such as is used for mosquito
bars. Buy il in rolls Is inches wide,
then cut i 3 across into strips six inches
wide, roll these strips tightly around
an old broom handle SO that they will
stay curled, then spring them around
the tree and sink the lower end an inch
into the ground. As the tree grows,
the wire will expand, and protect the
trees from borers and sun.soald in the
summer. and from mice and all kinds
of rabbits in the winter. The strips
can be cut and curled in the barn on
a rainy day. and a boy can take them
in bushel basket and spring them
around the trees very rapidly. They
are much cheaper and much better in
every way than strips of lath. The
expense for the wire screen would be
about cent a tree for the common
wire, The aluminium. covered wire
is much better, as it will last much
longer, and is much more pIiable; but
at present prices it costs about twice as
much as the common wire. The price
for protection is merely nominal when
compared with the value of the tree.
A fruit tree that has lived through the
first summer in the orchard, is worth
I'll, and it is better to spend another
dollar in protecting it than to lose it
and have to replant.

found favor, says the California Fruit
Grower. In California they we've
soon discarded, the Kieffer especially
being treated to columns Of sacrasm
anent its pumpkin-like flavor. Those,
however. like many in the southern
and southwestern states, who have
persevered, have discovered great value
even in the Kieffer when il is properly
harvested. This variety is a cross be-
tween the Bartlett and the Sand pear
of Asia. the LIE C1nte also being
hybrid with Oriental blood, and both
show it plainly in habit of growth.
IL is necessary that the Kieffer be laid
away IN store room until it gets its
color. and not till then should il be
put on the market. Both varieties are
vigorous growers. with large, shining
leaves, and both are good and regular
bearers. The LIE Conte is particularly
success in the southern states, and
its cultivation has assumed large pro-
portions commercially. These pears
seem almost exempt from disease.
which is not the least reoommenda-
tion. Planted even as a stock on
which to subseQu emily graft other
varieties. they are valuable. and as
such they should be on their own roots

seedlings. The Asiastic pears make
admirable stocks, and will no doubt.

MyrobolaH Seedlings.


Myrobolan seedlings, as imported
from France, are just as uncertain and
unreliable in their habits as miscel-
laneous lot of peach seedlings, says the
California Fruit Grower. Every nur.
seryman knows, and should practice
what he knows, that TO get good, Wig
orous and uniform pack stocks he must
have seed OF some variety in preference
to others. Natural seed, or seed from
Seeding trees. is best; SO is the seed
from cling stone peaches better than
that from most free stone varieties.
Myrobolan seedlings, while they could
show little difference in the seed bed,
or as they are received from France, at
two and three years old, show every
conceivable habit Of growth, Some
grow like bushes, crooked, and full of
thornsI some send up shoots that are
clean and straight, with few thorns,
and some are quite thornless; some are
OF peculiarly sturdy growth, while
others have habit more like the dwarf
weeping willows. In color, too, there
is great diversity, ranging from pale
yellow to dark purple.
How, then, can we wonder at the
irregularity in orchards The rich
soils of the river bottoms will, for u
time, and to some extent, overcome
this, but none the less should steps be
taken to guard against such stock.
How may this be done Simply by
encouraging home grown stocks, even
to placing a prohibitive tariff upon
all fruit tree stocks except for expert
mental purposes.

Proper Orchard Care.

An orchard must have nitrogen,
phosphoric acid, lime and humus. To
know how much an orchard requires,
we must know how much the plants
remove from the soil, says member
of the Missouri Horticultural Society.
The various kind OF fruits greatly
differ in this respect. Our soils are
fairly rich in phosphoric acid and
potash, but it is unavailable to large
degree and hence useless to the plant.
Every four OF five years, so pounds of
phosphoric acid should be added per
acre. In am available conditi n, this
will cost cents per pound. Nitrogen
costs 10 cents per pound, and fruit
lands need from IS to % pounds each
year, per acre. Ii is impossible to pay
these amounts and raise fruit at
profit.
The bets way, therefore, is to raise
green crops that contain these elements
in large degree, and pillow them
under. Clover or any member of that
heterogeneous family have the power of
taking these elements from the air and
converting them into proper form for
plant food. The best and cheapest
form of available potash is undoubted.
ly ashes, made from hard wood and
unteached. Such ashes contain 5 per
cent of potash. and l " per cent of
phosphoric acid; also other constit-
uents good for plants. The vegetable
compound called "humus, renders
the soil light. and fits it to retain more
water. 1t is best to pillow under green
crops, which must decompose before
becoming available as plant food.
When used for this purpose. the green
crop should be plowed under only on
certain condition. Nitrogen tends to
excessive growth of wood and leaf, and
the appearance of the plant will de.

TRIES TO TALK ANARCHY
Said His Act Was One OF Revenge for
the Death OF the Five Barcelona
Anarchists Sentenced to Death
by the Court.

We're present at the trial Of Canovas
assassin to-day. Angiollllo. heavily
manacled. sat between two gendarmes.
and Immediately In front OF his judges.
ON table near by lay his revolver and
other material evidence Of the crime.
The president uf the court read the
declarations Of several witnesses, after
which the written statement Of the
prisoner was read by the clerk of the
court. Angiolllo, In the course of the
statement. said that hs left Foggia In
October. 1895. and went tn Marss,lles
and Barcelona. where he took the name
of Jose Santos. He at first had no
thought OF becoming an anarchist. hut
while at Corrinniana he began To be In
terested In anarchist doctrines. He then
returned to Marseilles and after his ex-
pulsion from the city he went TO Bel
gium and London. where he spent most
Of his time In the society of anarchists.
When the execution took place at
Barcelona on May OF five anarchists
convicted of participating In the bomb
outrage at the feast VI Corpus Christi.
he conceived the idea OF assassinating
Canovas. Without seeking an accom-
plice he proceeded To plan and carried
out the resolution. Angiollifo vert On
tn say that the passion for vengeance
led him to commit the crime. As he
was unacquainted With the manufac-
ture OF explosives he used the revolver.
The public prosecutor described the
crime as "premeditated murder" and
asked the court TO impose the death
penalty.
Lieutenant Gorria. whom the court
Hal auls
urged that the prisoner was demented
at the time of the shooting and made a
strong appeal to the benevolence Of the
judges. While his counsel was pre-
senting this plea Angiollilo listened In
silence. Then he asked permission to
speak for himself. which was granted.
He thanked Lieutenant Gorria for his
efforts and denied that he had any ac-
completes or that he was an accom-
pllce OF those who committed the bomb
throwing outrage at Barcelona. When
he began to discuss anarchist theories
the president OF the court threatened to
stop him II he pursued that line Of re-
marks or touched upon any matters
not connected with the trial. Angiollilo
persisted In speaking OF politics and Of
the war In Cuba and the Philippines.
The president said that had nothing to
do with the cvime =----. -s-.s..,
Angiollilo replied: Il might justify
myself"
The president retorted: That II not
