Care of the Orchard.

This is the time of year when
the young orchard suffers most
from lack of tillage and proper
treatment of wood growth. Just
now when the farmer is busy hay
ing he feels that he cannot let the
hay wait day or two till he culti-
Yates the orchard. The result is
that thifty crop of weeds springs
up, sucks the water out of the soil,
the terminal buds stop growing and
the tree is stunted; and all through
its life it feels the effect of the
shock. There is only one way in
which to grow good, thrifty, vigor-
Gus, paying trees and that is by
giving them the best of care the
first two or three years, and the
time when those trees most need
care is now, just as the soil begins
to get dry.
Then another point about their
care is that at this time the young
orchardist would do we'll to remove
the excess of branches. Suppose,
for instance, that ore wants to start
head with four or three main
branches, it will be good practice to
remove the smallest branches of
this years growth until no more
than the required number are left.
This will result in turning all the
force of the trees vigor into the
required branches, instead of form
ing quantity of undesirable wood
which sooner or later must be cut
off and thrown away, thus saving
unto the tree much of what is usu-
ally thrown away. Experiment

SUBURBAN REs0R I
May Be Established on Hampton
Roads Next Summer.
ONLY COTTAGES G. !; TO BE BUILT
Quiet Spot Who're the H. ated Months Of
the Year Can BE Spent by the Bust
ness Men of NowportNews and
Their Families.
ONLY COTTAGES TO BE. BUILT

"a plan is on foot, backed by several
We'll known gentlemen, to establish q
small and exclusive summer resort on
the shore Of Hampton Roads, betwne n
this city and Hampton. for such busi-
ness men of eNwport News as cannot
find time to take their fani,les away
for the summer months AMI wish them
to tbe Tar from the naddening crowd
ignOble strife
The plan is to erect Il number tf
small frame cottages, or cabins on the
beach, where the hot summer months
can be spent in not a little comfort
and where the gentlemen who occupy
them can be within easy reach Of the
city. There will DE no hotel and aside
from the cottages the only buildings
there will be general store or COM
unissary from which the families will
get their supplies, and Il bath house
on the beach, for the use of those rent
ing cabins.
The present idea is to have the COT
tageS erected and ready for occupancy
in time for the summer season next
year Of course. it would be useless TO
attempt the plan at this late date for
this year. If the enterprise of one of
the street car companies has not built
a line down Hampton Roads by that
time the suburban residents will come
TO the city and return by stage.
If, according to the present plan,
this idea is carried out, it is believed
that it will meet With great success
1t is though that aenice quiet place cf
this kind would DE very popular with
many of the citizens Of Newport News
and doubtless there would be no trou-
bic in renting all the cottages that
should be built.
Some years AFRO the resort known as
Point Breeze was one OF the most
popular places in this section Of Vir-
ginia for the people Of Newport News
and there were many gentlemen from
this city who spent the summer mpCths
there with their families. A cooler spot
can hardly be found on the Peninsula
and there are no better bathing
grounds to be found in the state.
Later on the reputation of the resort
became not of the most desirable
kind and. naturally, as a family resort
the Point was no longer heard of.

WIN Rum the Excu rsion
Yesterdays Richmond Dispa

Yesterdays Richmond Dispatch
said:
The movement to naugurate a bust
ness mems excursion from Newport
News TO Richmond bids fair to be sue
cessfui, and the excursion will proba bly,
be run in a short time.
AS is well known, the object Of the
excursion is to bring to this city 4 num-
Der of the retail dealers of Newport
News who wish to purchase stock here
instead of in Norfolk. The excursion
was suggested by the application of
Newport News business men to the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company
Tor reduced freight and passenger rates
between that city and Richmond. There
are difficulties in the Way of granting
this request, one Of which, and proDa-
bly, the greatest, is the probability that
Norfolk would charge discrimination
Another objectionwhich the railroad
men raise to making special rates 10
Richmond merchants is that the feel
ing against Norfolk in Newport News,
begotten of the formers allegediy I'M
fair treatment Of the latter during the
=pEeyalencea yellow feverseat the ma
Stional Soldiers Home at Hampton, is
only temporary, and will disappear in d
few days But the Newport News peo-
pie do not say so.
: The feeling against Norfolk IS very
strong IN Newport News said a gentle
q Dispatch writer yesterday. 1t does
not show the least sign of abatement
The merchants there are and have al
ways been anxious to buy in Richmond
All Richmond merchants have to do is
to offer the inducements necessary to
put them on /, footing in our market
equal with that of the merchants Of
Norfolk. l believe it can be done The
railroad may not grant the rates but it
looks to ME that the Pocahontas. max
ing daily trips UP and down the James
between Richmond and Newport News,
can carry freight at a rate about as
cheap as it is now carried from Nor
folk
Another gentleman from Newport
News iii the city yesterday expressed
opinions very similar to the foregoing,
and said he wished it were possible for
him to appear before the Young Mems
Business Association and Chamber of
Commerce and convince them that the
feeling in his city in favor Of transfer
ring all the trade possible to Richmond
was not only strong and general but
that it would be lasting. He gave the
name Of prominent dealer of Newport
News who recently stated publicly shat
he annually spent $4,000 in Norfolk, but
that he was resolved to spend no more
there, no matter where he would have
to purchase, though he preferred buy
ing in Richmond"
