GREAT LEGAL VICTORY.
value OF an Honored Trade Name Up

Circuit Court

The California Fig Syrup Co.. of San

which is of utmost public interest, as it
establishes judicially a fact long recog-

Select good land-land that will
produce good corn crop-with dry
subsoil, if possible, for the peach or
chard. Plow deep before planting. Mark
rows both ways with plow, and
plant at intersections which should be
about 20 feet apart each way. Set the
trees in holes that are large enough
to receive the roots without cramp-
ing. Set the tree about the same
depth that it occupied in the nursery.
Fill holes with good earth. Do not
grow too many varieties. The mere
fruit we can get to ripen at one time,
the more we can market at a time,
and that means less expense. Hence
the wisdom of combining the orchard
| to few varieties.
Cut off all broken and bruised roots
before planting. In pruning at any
time use a knife that is strong and
sharp enough to make clean cut.
Cut off the side branches, and cut the
main stem about 10 inches above
ground. This makes a stronger tree,
and a more convenient one from which
to pick and for pruning. Pruning can
be done during the winter, but some
prune after the buds have started,
the reason being that if pruned before,
the remaining buds develop too rapid
ly, and may be caught by frost. The
first pruning consists in cutting off all
shoots that are not needed for forma-
ton of the head of the tree, and cut
ting back those that remain about two
feet. At the second annual pruning
thin out all the inside branches that
prevent an open headed tree, and cut
back the other branches about one
half of last years growth. This tends
to make broad, low and open head
ed tree. The third year with the sam
object in view.

which is an authority on peach grow
ing-would permit the growing in thu
orchard, for the first two or three
years, of low-hoed crops, such as peas

Mine on Mount Sinai

Recent examination of the copper
mines on Mount Sinai reveals that the
ore is poor and difficult to work. which
accounts for the fact that they were
abandoned 1000 years ago. though in
the days when copper was the only
available substitute for wood and stone
these mines were the cause OF frequent
wars. An interesting point brought
to light is that the ancients practiced
precisely the method of extraction used
ct the present day-namely, reduction
with charcoal combined with silicioua
and calcareous fuxes.-N. Y. Sun.
