ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Plant out plenty of small fruits.
To grow large onions from seeds SOW
very early.
Fine, well-rotted manure used as tor
dressing will help make the garden
grow.
One of the best preventives of mil
dew on plants is powdered lime busted
on them.
Commence the cultivation in the gar
den as soon as possible after the plant
ing is done.
Growth in the garden may be slim
ulated by early, thorough and contin-
ued cultivation.
Allow no fruit to grow on strawberry
plants the first season. Pick off all
buds and blossoms.
OF the different kinds of fruit goose
berries will give the best yields of any
when no care is given.
Pull up any weeds that may have
started in the strawberry bed, but dc
not disturb the mulch.
Do not let the plants in the seed bed
grow too thicllly or they will grow tall
and spindling and be weak.
One advantage with spring setting
out of strawberry plants is that it is the
surest way of securing good stand.
Place a circle of cardboard two or
three inches high around the tomato
plants when set out, to protect them
against cutworms.
Plant grapes where the vines may
be exposed to the rays of the sun all
day. This is better than shade.-St.

Numbering Country Homes.

Out in California they are urging the
adoption of 4 system of numbering
country residences, reckoning from the
county seat as a center, and thus render
the location of a point in the rural Sec
tons as simple as within city limits.
The plan is TO name every road in the
county, first arranging them in as long
lengths as can well be done. Then di-
vide each mile into ten parts or blocks
of the same length, and number them,
a new number to each frontage.

GOSSIP OF NEW YORK.

New York, March 1O.-Some idea of the scale on which opera will be given at the Metropolitan next winter may be gathered from the fact that Maur- ice Grau has already made contracts by which he is responsible for $S20,- 900.

MT. McCann intends to produce this set of views in Phoenix some time this month, and probably severel pther+ sets.

A LIST OF INACCURACIES.
Compiled From a Very Small Part O.
 Very Long Gazette Story.

The Gazette reporter in an account yesterday morning of so-ealled in vestigation of a charge against a po- lice officer, managed to jam together into one section of his story great many inaccuracies, some of which were without foundation in fact. In the first place he gave The Republican re- porter a great deal more prominence than his connection with the affair warranted.
 Said the Gazette: "The most in teresting testimony was given by the city editor of The Republican. He stated that Officer Mo1ioy was at The Republican office at 12 o'clock on the night of the arrest" That was all, and wherein was the interest? It must lay entirely in a diseased imagination capable of conjuring up war news and a multiplicity of index fingers on one hand.
 The account contains many other statements to which exception should be taken; for instance, that the officer is in the habit of telling the city ed itor everything that happens and that in consequence copy of The Republi- can is issued to the officer without charge. The habit to which the Ga Zette alludes is not so strong that it may said to be marked or carried to excess: and to the knowledge of the city editor no copy is sent to the of f1cer or anybody else Tor less than the regular subscription price. The only complimentary" The Republican is sues is it's excellence over the Gazette, so that one who pays a subscription price to both papers and reads both of them. very naturally feels that if the Gazette is worth it's price, The Re publican is certainly giving him a great deal for nothing.
 There is one more statement: "At the conclusion of the. case Officer Mol Joy publicly thanked The Republican for it's plain statement of facts on Wednesday morning and in answer to question proudly pointed to himself as having furnished the paper with the information it had published"
 As a matter of fact when the case was closed, Recorder Jobs, thanking nobody, said he desired to publicly compliment The Republican upon it's plain and impartial account of mat ter in which a great deal of interest had been taken and in which much Ill feeling had been developed He added thcll ouSh pOSuiIdl Cll as had surrounded this case, he had seldom seen such a dispassionate chronicling of events.
 At this point the city editor on be- half of The Republican, was con- strained by his modesty to leave the court room. He asked several gentle men yesterday who remained if Officer Molloy had subsequently made an out pouring of thanks or had done any of the other things described by the Gazette. They all replied that they had witnessed or heard nothing of the kind.
 The foregoing comprise a list of only the misstatements with which the city editor of this paper was con- cerned, and he has had neither the time nor the inclination to run through the other two columns of the Gazette's narration and compile the inaccuracies contained therein
