WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The fol-

that may be washed too deeply into
the soil to be reached by the roots OF
garden plants, many of which are

Coal ashes contain no plant-food
of any kind, but if the soil is little
heavy they may be used with benefit
to make it friable and more easily
worked.
Ferfect drainage, while it does not
add to the store of plant-foOd, brings
into use that which is in the soil by
preventing the packing of the soil in
such a manner as to lock up the
plant-food where the roOtlets can not
reach it. We must get away from the
notion that der-drainage is prac-
ticed solely to get the water out of
the soil. One of its creates benefits
is to allow the air to get into the
soil, the drainage acting as ahr-pipes,
which allow free circulation of air,
and from this air the nitrogen is eX-
tracted which goes to make a thrifty
growth.

protecting the tree and crops against
the cold must be resorted to. The
part of the question yet undecided is,
what plan of protection that shall Of
fer the best protection at the lowest
cost, shall be adopted.
Mr.. William Watt, manager of the
Thompson & Norris Co. of Boston,
Mass, with main office and works at
2-34 Prince ST., Brooklyn, N. Y, has
devised a plan that offers the two i'm
portant essentials -effectiveness and
cheapness. 1t is generally admitted
that the only form of protection that
will count for anything against Sc
we're freeze is covering of some kind
for the trees.
Mr.. Watts plan is to cover the trees
with what might be termed a paper
house. The material from which
these protectors are made is a spec
tally prepared paper, and paper is
we'll known to be one of the best nom
conductors of heat and cold. The COR
rugated paper which is used as
packing material for bottles and
glassware is the base of the form
that is used, and, in fact, it closely

Fertilizing the Garden.

There is no better way to fertilize
the garden than to haul fresh man
ure from the stables and spread over
the surface during the winter, says
the Farmers Voice. Contrary to
common belief, there is never time
when manure is so rich in plant-food
as the day it is made, and the sooner
after that it can be got to the place
where it is to be used the more value
will it add to the soil.
1T is almost impossible to put too
much manure on a garden. We would
not hesitate to put it foot thick on
the surface, for it will leach only SO
much more plant-food into the soil,
and by blowing time next spring will
be settled down until it can easily
be plowed under to furnish humus
for the betterment of the physical
condition of the soil.

Annual Fruit Bearing.

The fact that apple trees, and to
some extent pear trees also, get into
the habit of bearing only each alter
nate year, and sometimes missing
that is the worst setback for average
appte-growers- Yet by judicious care
and pruning it is comparatively easy,
accidents excepted, to secure crops
every year. What is needed is to pre-
vent the excessive growth of fruit in
years of pelnty, which so exhaust the
tree that it is unable to make fruit
buds for blossoms the following wear.
Then as to pruning, it is always best
to check the leading shoots of both
apple and pear during the growing

weather.
During periods of excessive cold,
on the covering alone to protect the
when it might be risky Ito depend up
trees against a freeze, a small Oil
lamp placed at the bottom of the
':house," owing to the closeness of
the covering, would generate suffi-
Client heat to protect the trees against
any degree of cod Florida will ever
experience.
AS compared with the first cost of
other plans sheds, cloth tents, etc,
the cellular board offers many in
dducemenIts. Mr.. Watt, who has his
headquarters during the winter at
Daytona, Fla, says it will he posi-
bic to- lay down the material in Flor
ida at an expense not to exceed 1
cent a square foot. At this rate the
cost of covering a tree of the size
indicated in the cuts would be about
$500. This might seem at first to be
excessive, but this will be greatly re-
duced when it is considered that the
same material may be used year after
year, and the actual cost per annum
would thus be comparatively small.
Since NJ. Watt explained his plan
of protection to orange growers of
Florida, and exhibited the samples
of the material, they have evinced
great interest-in fact the better ex-
perience of past years has proven to
them the necessity of some plan of
protection against cold. This interest
has shown itself in the form of num-
erous orders for the material from

if such it may be called, is water

ing tough and able to- withstand

merit is that off lig'htness and the

or storing possible. This material
as prepared for the purpose indicat-
ed, has been named cellular board,
and this name is peculiarly appro-
priaIte, as from one edge to another
of each sheet, no natter how wide
this may be, run the cells formed by
the corrugations of the inner board
or paper.
This material is made four feet in
width, and in any desired length, to
meet the requirements of the tree to
be circulated and covered, otherwise
joints are made SO that the entire
length of the sheet may be folded on
itself for carrying or storing. BY a
device for which a patent has been
applied for in the form of a clip,
these sheets may be joined at the
edges to make continuous wall of
almost any height, and again joined
on itself to make tight housing.

another if set, like the successive
joints of an ordinary stove-pipe.
When the paper building has reached
the desired height from the ground,
a cover of the same material is placed
over the top and the housing is com
plete.
Figure 1 illustrates the paper house
in place around tree Figure 2,
shows the ''house" partially opened,
with the tree in it. Figure 3, shows
the material taken down and folded
up for storing. This last item is an
important one, as the material re-
quired for housing large grove can
be packed away during the summer,
and other times when not in use, in
a very small space in the packing
house.
AS to the practicabi1ity of the plan,
experiments that have been made
with it have demonstrated that the
heat that is gathered during the day
in the tree is held through many
hours of cold, preserving a tempera-
ture within the covering eight and
ten degrees higher than that outside.
There seems to be little doubt that
whatever could be placed under this
protection could be saved from any
frost that might occur even in the

Death from an Acc,den..

This morning at l 80 O'Clock Charles,
the 17-year-old son of Henry Stegman,
who formerly lived at Centerville; but
now resides in the Happy Home district,
died from injuries received in a runaway
accident which occurred Monday after
noon seven and half miles from the
river on the Washington side,
In company with the hired man Charles
had driven to this city and delivered
some wool at the Wasco warehouse.
On the return trip the hired mans
wagon, which contained some stock
salt, was ahead and ii sack or two of salt
fell into the roai. When young Steg-
man drove up, just in front of WIN.
Crawfor Us place, his horses became
frightened at the salt sacks and jumped
to one side onto some large rocks, throw
ing their driver out and cutting very
deep gash in the scalp and badly dislo-
eating his left elbow. Internal injuries
were also received, which eventually
caused his death.
The funeral will take place at Center
vile tomorrow.
