The Woonsocket Times says Wes-
singtOn Springs offers wide field
for the cultivation of religious tOler-
alton, and then proceeds to describe
Incidents of narrowness between the
preachers OF that place. A matter
of common criticism and ridicule of
the churches and church people
among worldly people is the frequent
manifestation of sectarian narrow
ness OF protesting christians. All
churches and church people claim to
believe in the same Bible, the same
inspired Word, the Identical Christ
who died for oil with q prayer of
liberation and forgiveness upon His
lips; yet in the narrow prejudice OF
some people who imagine th.msel-
yes to be sprouting little wings, a
member of any other church than
'ourn" has no more hope OF reaching
heaven than he has of attending the
4th of July celebration in Mars.
Such thoughts and such teachings
are inimical to the advancement OF
true religion. To say that man,
woman or child may be true chris
tan and belong to any church or no
church at all, is but repeating the
esta blished conclusion OF the great
est minds the world has yet produced,
and we are living in year in which
at least one eminent divine has ex-
pressed the belief that it may be
possible for entrance into the king
dom of heaven without even pro-
iessed christianity. Whenever church
people of any community fully Guilt
vate and practice religious tolera-
tion-''do unto Others as you would
have them do unto you'-ioin
tremendously together, the cause OF
Christ takes on new life and courage
to struggle up out of the grasp OF
petty prejudice and destructiveriyal-
ries.

CYCLONES and Science.

Since the cyclone has become a
condition and not theory the sci
entific boys have begun to figure up
on a counter irritant. Down in Kan
sas, the home of many peculiarities,
one. man set a cannon off and shot
the cyclone full of holes. The real
genuine funnelshaped twister has a
horror of holes. and when perfor-
ated turns away. in disgust. And
the Weather bureau mt Washington
says that when cyclone is calling
about the neighbOrhood, the host.
ess should greet it by throwing open
all windows and doors, and invite it
to toy with her lace curtains, bric-a-
brac, etc, but to spare the house.
This is said to give more vacuums
than the cyclone needs in it's bust
ness, hence it swishes through the
house like Ben Hur chariot race
without tearing down the amphi-
theatre, and when the smoke OF bat
tie clears away behold, the house is
there but the furniture is not. Az
we enter more deeply into the study
OF this interesting phenomena, we
may hope to advance step by step
out of the cave of gloom into which
we are want to scramble during the
cyclones visit.

School Taxes Separate Lew.

State Register 1T will soon be
time for annual school meetings and
the question OF voting school tax
should be given due attention in
every district. Heretofore many of
the counties levied general school
tax varying in amount. but mostly
two mills, which sum was apportion-
ed by the county superinten dent.
This year the county commissioners
cannot levy such a tax and districts
which have been, depending on co I'M
ty appertionment want to prepare
for the change. 1t will make q Diff
ference in AZ out of the 53 organized
counties of the state. The county
superintendent should notify their
school boards of this change, as it
will make wonderful difference in
tax collections.

What to do with Pear Blight

A south Georgia nurSeryman writes
vigorously and sensibly in Home and
Farm. His advice comedies closely
with the recent practices of the west
Florida Orchardists:
What is pear blight is one thing.
What to do with it is another. Any
pear sufficiently tested will blight.
When pear orchard badly blighted
the owner writes to- everybody who
claims to know anything on the sub
ject. And everyone will write him to
prune, prune, when really the truth is,
the more you prune the worse will be
the blight. Go out into pear orchard
will start out, and will be the most
thrifty and tender in the orchard. The
blight is worst on the tender shoots.
Every tree cut off and with tender
shoots will result in being worse
blighted than those not pruned. By
pruning the blight will be increased in
stead of decreased. When an orchard
is badly blighted, the thing to do is to
let it alone as completely as you know
how. Don't prune limb, don't plow
it, or do anything else to it that will
stimulate the tree.
The trees are certainly in bad
shape for two years. Let them alone

Gle will be received as It is written.
Under all circumstances plOw deep,
as the roots of all deciduOus trees go
far down into our loose sand. To prove
this, when digging wells l found
peach, pear and plum roots quite near
the excavations some eight and ten
feet down.
For young peach trees cotton seed
meal has done far more than any 9TH
er form of ammOniated fertilizer that
has yet been applied.
After the trees once bloom, then stop
applying ammonia of any form, for If
this is carried out you will sacrifice
your fruit and get in return fine look
ing trees only. But by applying Cud-
ahy's bone meal, six or ten pounds,
and high-grade potash, two to- four
pounds per annum, the grower will
grow the finest of fruit.
If a grower cuts back his trees once
year, say in the fall, and above ev-
erything else, sprouts or branches,
three feet from the ground he will do
well-frst, by having beautifully Shap-
ed trees, and then VIII his trees bear
he will not lose his fruit, while those
who allow their trees to grow at ram
dom and without careful attention lose
from one-Quarter to One-half their
crop. AS we all know, fruit on long
branches soon touches the ground and
is ruined
I strongly recommend all growers of
the peach to have their trees look as
much like "balls on a stick" as is pos
sible; that is, trim their trees so as to
make them round, and by so doing no
branches will or can by any chance
touch the ground.
Another point is this, that quite a
number of my friends have asked me-:
What would you do if your trees had
root-knOt?
ROOt-knOt never worries me in thu
least | have never lost a tree from
this cause, and simply say to apply
from one to four pounds Of high "ade
sulphate of potash until it is free from
this fungoid growth. Of course it is
well to cut away a portion of the dis
eased wood, and always keep the
crown roots clear of sand.
The borer sometimes also is very
troublesome, but do not fear him.
Keep your trees clear of sand early in
the spring, and you will not be trou-
bled with this pest.
The trouble with most growers is
that their peach trees are nearly al
ways treated with contempt and over
looked. 1t is of great import to throw
the sand over the crown roots Simply
covering them welD in the fall, and
then remove same early in the spring.
Under Mo circumstances ever work
your trees until after they start to
bloom, but pillow, fertilize, harrow and
hoe Immediately after they show signs
of blooming, so that you get through
your work before the trees are in
bloom.
l lost at least fifty bushels last
spring by starting work before the
trees started to bloom, and therefore
warn all others, for the frost will catch

A compost heap at best is not gen.

can be made to vanish and beauty
reign instead. A compost heap near

that it was his intention to include

one having AN unsightly object near
the house can take hint. 1t would
take more space than we can allOt this
time to tell Of the many pretty COM
binations of plants that gave such
beautiful effects and which made the
whole very attractive. Look which
way we might we could see either
groups of shrubs or lone specimens that
seemed to be just the right thing in the
right place. We had at last reached
place where all of the beautiful was
not on paper but in reaIity. The visit
above was before the February freeze,
and we often wondered how many of
the beautiful plants survived that chill
ly blast.
While on the press excursion recent
ly, it was our good pleasure to visit
the Royal Palm Nurseries. We were
agreeably surprised to find that only
the more tropical plants had been in
iured and these only cut back. Nearly
everything was starting vigorously
from the roots and would soon be in
full glory again. The palm houses full
of beautiful and rare palms had been
protected so that none of the plants
were hurt and were as vigorous as
though no cold blast had blown over
them. The glass houses so full of rare
plants were yielding up their treasures
to be carried by Uncle Sam to all parts
of the country. We found Mr.. Reason
err busy in his commodious packing
house filling express and mail orders
when vary daily from dozens to hun
dreds. Their method of packing in
sures the safe delivery of plants to any
part of our domain and frequently to
foreign countries so that they are prac-
tically as near as the nearest.

sweet scent of the orange blossoms fill

delight of the golden apples they
hoped to pick in the fall.

AHoW VI over twenty species OI luSeC'S,
reptiles and mammals that have gam
ed free transportation to our land 10y
slowing themselves away in punches
of this luscious and popular fruit. 1t
is a very common occurrence to find
spiders of several varieties, all of
which are pronounced deadly poison,
Of course. l have seen three species of
snakes which, were taken in these we'll
built places of cOncealment, one of
which was a greenish colored boa, all
of five feet long, and two little fellows,
and all alive. 1t is not rare to find &C

sunny home in Central America. Curl
Gus Land crabs also migrate by this
method, and, like all the rest Of the
unknown creatures from foreign lands,
are pronounced most virulent and are
killed on sight. Then, too, we often
find little mice with very long tails,
which have made themselves comfort
able on the journey by preparing soft
nests in the center of the bunch. These
little creatures are most interesting in
their movements, and soon become
nice pets, and l have known them to
be quite a time in a cage where they
were dOcile and apparently cOntented.
One nest contained family Of young
ones. There were five or six little fell

home. Think Of the mother mouse
travelling across seas and overland on
the cars, yet devoting her time to her
helpless family of little ones. 1t must
be that the mother had some proven
der stored when the family started, for
the bananas are green as grass when
shipped, and not at all eatable. How
ever, when the bunch was opened it
was found that the old mouse had from
necessity gnawed into several half
ripe bananas to provide nOurishment
for her brood. The great punches Of
fruit hang near the ground, and the
wild creatures seek the space within
and thus escape the hot sun, or per-
haps their enemies. What more nat
ural than for a mouse to build it's nest
and rear it's little brood in this retreat?
Then the time comes for the shipping
of the green fruit. The big stem is cut
with huge knife much like the Cuban
machete, and the punches are carried
to the coast, where they are loaded on
the steamer for American ports. All
the time our little friend with the fam.
lily is concealed In the bunch, only at
rare intervals leaving it's retreat to for
age in the dark hold of the vessel for
scraps of food. At last the cargo
reaches the city and goes to the COM
mission house, where the little moth
err again timorously seeks food in the
dark cellar or cold storage room, or
perhaps, in desperation, feeds on the
unripe fruit Last of all the italian
fruit vendor purchases the fruit and
cuts into the bunch, finds the damage

little home to pieces and destroyeS the
