Feed Your Fruit Trees.

From the Texas Farm and Ranch.
 It may not be realized by many
 thoughtful fruit growers that the roots
 of the tree usually extend far beyond
 the ends of the longest branches. They
 must get both moisture and food. and
 the dryer and poorer the soil the far
 ther they must go for them. In some cases they have been known to cross under roads or buildings or patches of sod to some moist and fertile spot where they can get what the upper structure of the tree needs so badly. Like birds that must feed their fledg. lings, the more scanty the food supply the farther and longer they must fly for it or starvation or stunted growth must follow. Hence, we should pro- vide food and water handy for the nvriads of little underground feeders to lay hold upon.
 The foregoing indicates very clearly the necessity of feeding orchards. We wouldn't expect our pigs to grow and wax fat without being regularly fed and watered We wouldn't expect but ter and milk in liberal quantities from old Crumple if we failed to supply her wants literally. Neither have we right to expect tree to produce, year after year, full crops of fine, luscious fruit without supplying fertilizers in proper condition for food. Trees eat inst as animals eat wi tii their mouths which are in their heads, while trees eat with mouths in their feet. The food must be put within reach and properly prepared for absorption by the tender rootlets. It must be re- duced by the process of rotting to a fine mold. and sufficient moisture ad- ded to render it absorbabie For mois- ture we depend usually upon the supply offered by nature in the form of rain. A few progressive fruit farm- CTS have provided means for irrigation so that plant food may be ready for the tender rootlets to absorb the nu- trient material When no means for irrigating are at hand it is absolutely necessary to keep this food supply in the most available condition possible This we do by frequent shallow culti- vation, the moisture supplied by nature is kept near the surface by the power of capillary attraction, but a dust blanket must be kept above to prevent this moisture escaping into the atmos- phere and being lost By this method trees laden with fruit may be carried through severe drouth without seri- ous loss, but few days neglect will nulify weeks of previous care. The soil must be stirred every %%seciiz %%seciiz CT ten days.

Mr.. Mckinney Told How He Protect

He Says He Has Right
to Talk About It.
nr. Bradford Says Spanish War
Was a Republican Trick.

A Democratic rally was held In City
hall last evening at which Mr.. Luther II.
Mckinney, the democratic candidate Tor
Congress and Mr.. Gamaliel Bradford oil
Boston spoke. The rally was advertised
by what was termed by LEGAL Democrats
"Jimmie CAROLS wild west show"
This was large wagon drawn by two
horses which drove through the streets
all day yesterday with a drum corps
secreted by transparency Of Democratic
principles advertising the meeting at
which Mr.. Mckinney was TO speak. The
drum corps when 1t began Its travels
was of good size, but when the wagon
toured Gorham's Corner and finally
reached Congress street again the drum
mers and ffsrs had decreas ID IN numbsr,
some OF them presumably being left to
carry on side show ON Centre street,
while the depleted band continued to ad-
vsrtise the main circus In City hall.
Dodgers were also distributed all over
the city advertising this rally and the
speakers for the evening. An out pour
ing of the masses was anticipated. For
some reason the masses seemed to take
more interest last night in the prize light
than they did in the Mr.. Mckinney and
the Democratic rally, and City hall was
not crowded to suffocation.
As matter of fact the greater part OF
the Democratic voters was to be found
about the newspaper offices reading the
returns from the Sharkey- Jeffries con-
test, and Mr.. MoKinney's audience was
not very large one.
0IAI the prominens Democrats Of Cum
berland county were advertised to be
present and occupy seats on the plat
form. Those present were Levi Green

There was band present which played
some patriotic airs when the speakers
and the prominent Democrats marched
upon the platform. They were greeted
with applause, not very enthusiastic. but
It served 10 announce their arrival In
the rostrum.
Mr.. Frank was introduced as the chair
