1t is good plan to manure the garden
thoroughly and then plow deep before

While mulching is beneficial to straw
berries it should not be done until the
ground freezes hard enough to bear up
a wagon.
One item in preventing decay in fruit
through the fall and winter is to pre-
serve uniform temperature. It is the

Now is a good time to secure what
trees one needs for planting and heel
them in carefully, providing good drain
age and protection from rabbits.
One advantage in plowing the garden
deep and thoroughly in good season in
the fall is the destruction OF the white
grub that so often infests the soil.
One advantage in fruit growing is the
small amount OF plant food that the

trade in the orient. England and the
Dutch were the only nations that were
ahead Of ms, nd$eyen they had but
little start and their efforts had been
far from satisfactory.
While our first efforts at trade with
the Chinese were not entirely success
full, yet they were nearer SO than any
of the efforts of either England or the
Dutch, and it was not long before
American firms were engaged in busi-
ness in Canton. To America also be-
longs the honor of sending The first mis-
sionary TO China, who paved the way for
that great body Of workers who are now
carrying civilization to the uttermost
part of the Aowery kingdom.
But the establishment of such unsat-
isfactory trade relations as could eS=
ist before the days OF commercial
treaty with China did not end the work
OF America in the east.
For u number of years the commerce
of all nations was TO a certain extent
at the mercy Of the terrible Chinese
pirates. During all Of this time there
was but little effort. excepting that
made BY America and England, at put
ting stop to these lawiess ravages.
The frightened mandarins were power
less to check the growing piracy, and it
tleyolyed upon the trading vessels and
the American and English men-of-war
in Chinese waters to take the subject
In hand for the protection of them-
selves and national interests.
Among the notable encounters with
these sea robbers and outlaws was that
between the crew of the American ship
Atahualpa. of Boston, at Macoa, China.
While the captain and a part Of the
rrew were absent in the city the pirate
Anoostae, the most feared and blood
thirsty of all of his craft in Chinese
waters. attempted TO capture the vessel
by means of strategy and hand-to-hand
fight. But his attempts were not sue
cessful and he received whipping
which finally resulted in his capture
and death, for the courage of1he little
handful of americans so encourage
!, the frightened ma ndarins hat they re-
doubled their efforts for his capture
and were finally successful. and he was
put 10 death by torture that was as ter
rible as anything he had ever inflicted
on his unfortunate captises.
Eut our SEA fights in Chinese waters
were not wholly confined 10 the pirates.
but extended 10 the government OF
China itself When the nation at home
was too busily engaged in rushing into
the ciyil war to even note the actions OF
bur little feet in Chinese waters that

NM ORE than century ago this

NN ORE than century ago this
ENll country began the work Of
a ~ opening the doors of the hermit
nations of the east to the worlds COM
merce. We have contributed as much,
and far more than most other nations,
towards this end, and yet to-day we
are asking assurances from Russia,
Great Britain and Germany that the
doors we helped to open shall remain
open TO us.
American sailors lie buried in China,
Japan and Corea whose lives were the
price of early efforts at trading rela-
tons with these oriental peoples. In
Hong-Kong there stands monument
erected by the English government
commemorating the bravery of British
and American sailors in the suppress
sion of the Chinese pirates, work from
which almost the entire civilized world
;profted, yet which was accomplished
almost wholly by American and Eng
Iish sailors, contending often agains
great odds and far away from reen-
forcements or even encouraging words
rom home except at long intervals.
All of this was done before the days
Of ocean cables with which to speed q
message around the u>fid in few
seconds. Naval c1s4n1nanders could not
ask for and await instructions; they
had to act first and ask afterwards.
Some of the most brilliant exploits of
our navy have occurred in far eastern
waters, and yet the men who are re-
sponsible for these are ealmostforgotten
and even many of the more elaborate
histories of our country have nothing
more than a mere mention of the dates
of their hard fought battles against
great odds. Yet their work has been
one of the great civilizing influences OF
the closing century.
Hardly had the English evacuated the
colonies before American clipper ships
were eastward bound for the purpose of
