GRASS IN ORCHARDS.
There Are Some Circumstances In
Which It's Presence Will Usually
Prove beneficial.

Only by experience and study can
man know how to apply the general
rules of farming. There is no one rule
that will apply in all cases. 1t is gen.
orally true that keeping an orchard
free of grass and well cultivated is
means of increasing its fruitfulness.
Yet even this rule will not work well
in all cases. A great deal will depend
on the soil and the fertility in it, on the
trees and their habits of growth, and
SO on. To set out young orchard and
begin to cultivate it and fertilize heav-
lily would often be the ruin of 1t. Dur
ing the first years of the life of an or
chard it is often desirable to have the
trees grow very slowly. In some soils
this end is easily attained by leaving
the soil in its natural state, even with
no grass cover, the fertility of the soil
being perhaps low. But in rich soil
other means must be used to prevent
the trees from feeding too grossly. A
cover of grass will help to do this. Not
only will the roots take up part of the
fertility in the ground but also part OF
the moisture. What is left will prove
enough to give the trees all the growth
they should have. OF course even this
will depend on the year being an or
binary one. While grass Is a. good
thing to keep out of most orchards, II
will thus be found to be beneficial I'M
der some circumstances. - Farmers

Blue, black and brown coverts will

Dark red taffeta, trimmed with an
ple-green and salmon pink, is one of
the striking effects in spring gowns.
Some of the prettiest shirt waists

silk and linen, with cords running
through it.

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

Cleanliness in packing and deliver
ing bespeaks neatness and taste and
helps to sell 1t.
The breaking of heifers to milk
should be done by very careful and
level-headed person.
A COW that is heated or worried will
not milk well and her milk will not
make good butter.
A healthy COW in good condition
genrally makes better colored butter
than one in poor condition.
Sunlight, fresh air and hot water are
the cardinal factors in cleanliness.
One of the standard doctrines of mod
ern dairy practice is that disinfectants
can never take the place of simple, old
fashioned cleanliness.
Do not be frightened IL your cows
are large eaters, for 1t is pretty sure
indication that they have something
of value to give you in return. All
that you can induce the COW to cat and
digest, above that needed for support,
will go directly to profit. = Rural

THE DIeNIFIED WOMAN.
She Was n Little Severe on the Curl
GUS Woman, Hut She Was
Provoked.

She is dignifed woman, and sometimes
she is overpowering. The unwary do not
perceive this quickly, however. The dig.
nifed woman has been spending some time
in one of the hospitals of this city. She
went there for rest and quiet. Since she
has recovered her health she tells some
amusing stories of her experiences. Here
is one:
The dignifed woman was walking down
the hall one day when she was accosted by
the curious woman. The curious woman
had been wondering about the digniied
woman, and she said:
81 beg your pardon, madam, but would
like to know what you have been operated
on for?"
"What?" exclaimed the dignifed woman
well, explained the curious woman, my
friend in the next room and ! have been
wondering about you. You walk about the
hall with such light and springy step that
we wonder about what kind of an operation
you have undergone"
The curious woman held her ground. She
was determined to know what was the mat
ter with the dignifed woman.
The dignifed woman replied:
4 have not been operated upon yet"
"Oh!" said the curious woman, sympa.
thetically.
"No, ! am not familiar with operations, Z"
said the dignified woman.
The curious woman interrupted: "They
are very successful here. Don't be wor.
ried."
81 am wondering about an operation On
the BRAIN" said the dgnified woman, in
very dignifed and distant manner. II won.
der If they could operate upon the brain in
such way as to enable people to attend to
their own affairs"

away in high dudgeon.

but she was provoked to it.-St Louis Re.

An attractive package often sells
even inferior goods, while an at

many kinds of farm products have
found out the truth of this and are

"
Use IT,
to follow the example which nature
sets, and SOW with wanton bounty, in
order that here and there some might
take root. In natures economy, pro-
vision to guard against loss and pre-
vent failure is made with lavish
hand, and thousands of blossoms and
seeds are blown hither and thither to
every one that rests in good soil and
terminates.
II was thus with the doctrine of bet
ter roads. When that gospel began
to be preached il fell upon a few will
ing ears; some received it with JOY and
profited by it. Many more who heard
it were needless and Indifferent; they
listened, were interested for the mo-
ment, and then forgot it all. Then
there were many more who would not
hear, or who, hearing, would not un-
derstand. Lastly, there were those
who rebcllcd at the doctrine, who an
tagonized it. who controverted it, and
who sought in every way to refute it.
Nevertheless, the gospel of good
roads continued to be preached with
unremitting zeal until everyone had
heard or had the opportunity to hear
it. Into many sections of the country
il penetrated slowly, and the recep-
tivity of mind of those who heard it
varied widely. The majority aroused
themselves but slowly to a realization
of its truths. 1t was "line upon line,
preccpt upon precept, here little
and there little"--the same truth
repeated and reiterated in thousand
ways.

iects and advantages of permanent

be handled in thousand ways, and be
repeated DER and DER. 1t is a pre-
liminary and all-important step.

ing. and the character of improve

The work is all new to our country,
and experience elsewhere can only
serve as partial guide-to a large

for ourselves. This requires time and
patience and no little experiment. 1t

as the work moves Oh step by step, 1t

of every phase of the subject by which

ance introduced by the Wheeling
Street Railway Company to join their
lines with the b., b. & M. F. street
railway lines, which they have recently
purchased, at the corner of Bank street,
where Bridge street runs into it, came
up. Ever since the ordinance was intro
duced there have been two factions
formed among the citizens of that
place as regards the ordinance, one
advocating a condition imposed in the
ordinance that a five cent fare be
charged between Wheeling and Bridge
port, and the other advocating that a
ten cent fare be charged. The latter
faction was composed mostly of mer-
chants, who claim that five cent fare
would injure their trade. At the Coun-
Gil meeting last evening a petition
bearing the names of eighty-seven citi-
zens was introduced, requesting Coun-
ell to impose the five cent fare condi-
ton in granting the ordinance. Coun-
Gil imposed the condition of a five cent
fare, which the railway refused to ac-
cept and the ordinance was not
granted. Mr.. Bradley, of Cleveland,
