ANOTHER PROTEST MADE
Against Approval of the Nixon
Pardon.
STATEMENT OF, THE CASE
Made by County Attorney Connolly
to the Board OF Pardous-Nixon
Was Given Fair and I'm
partial Trial.

According to reports from Helena
the letter written by Judge Clancy to
the board of pardons and published ir
the Standard a few days ago is not
the only protest the board has received
against the pardon granted S. NJ. Nix
on by Governor Smith. 1t appears
that the board has also received a let
ter from County Attorney c. P. Con-
molly urging that the governors par
don be not approved. Judge Clancy's
letter was in the nature of a protest
against the governors statement that
Nixon did not have a fair trial. and
the county attorney makes a general
protest against the indiscriminate par
doning of criminals after fair trials
and convictions obtained after, hard
work and great cost to the taxpayers.
The letter, which is addressed to Hon.
T. w, PoindeXter. president of the
board, reads as follows:
Il have received notification of the
fact that your board has set apart
Monday, Nov. 6, 1899. for the considera-
ton of the pardon of S. M. Nixon. I
shall endeavor to be present, in opposi-
ton ito the granting of the said par
don, on the day mentioned, but in case
/ should not be able to be, present I de-
to this matter.

FALL PLANTED TREES.
They Have Number of Important
Advantages Over Those Planted
In the Spring.

The fall-planted fruit or shade tree
has great advantage over the SPRING
planted tree. Our summers are hot,
pretty much all over the country, and
they are pretty long, too. The heat,
with the long dry spells that we fire.
quently have, makes the growth of the
spring-planted tree very slow and I'M
certain. But if the planting is done in
the fall, the hole dug large and deep,
the top soil and suitable fertilizer placed
at the bottom, over and among which
the roots are carefully spread, and more
rich soil added, with the clay subsoil
which has been removed in making the
hole, poked well about the young tree
at the surface, the tree will be pretty
well fortified for any kind of weather.
The depth and width of the hole will
enable it to retain much moisture about
the roots, which become well set, and
begin growth during the late fall,
which is resumed at the very beginning
of mild weather in the spring. There
is no shock to the tree when the true
growing season comes and it is ready to
resume its growth. Having tried both
fall and spring planting of trees, l shall
hereafter, when have occasion to plant
trees, do it in the fall of the year.

SRORT-LIVED ORCHARDS.
Why Fruit Trees Weaken and Die
Sooner In the Western States
Than In the East.

One thing that always strikes an east
ern man on visiting the west or west
ern man visiting the east, is the great
difference in the size of the trees and
the age of the orchards. There are or
chards in the eastern states with trees
over a century in age that are still bear
ing. A tree at 25 or 30 is looked upon
as just in its prime. In the west ten and
Is years of bearing is about the average
life of tree.
In size they do not grow so that any
thing but short foot ladder is required
in picking time. Most of the fruit can
be reached from the gorund or from
wagon. The trees early crack, become
dccayed in the trunk and the limbs split
off. A tree so years old is curiosity.
There is a cause for this which is evil
dent to any thoughtful observer. 1t is
the dry, hot winds and sun that play
havoc with our orchards. In the great
prairie country an orchard is wholly
unprotected from the heavy winds
which sweep unrestrained over the level
country. The prevailing wind during
with the shading leaves are blown so
that the hot sun shines directly on the
body of the tree, drying it until the bark
checks and peels loose from the wood.
Water collects in this crack at the next
and at every ensuing rain, and the death
of the tree has begun. Decayed and
weakened it cannot stand the strain of
its heavy top and some windstorm leaves
it wreck, useful only as firewood.
We cannot hope to remove the cause.
Our only remedy is in perfection. A
windbreak of some hardy trees that can
withstand both drought and wind along
the south side of an orchard is OF in
estimable value to the owner. The man
who contemplates putting out an or
cbard should also consider a wind
break.
There is one mistake that is made al
most universally in the west. This is
setting trees out too thinly. AS most
orchards are arranged, each tree is iso-
lated from its fellows and must stand
alone. Were they put in closer, so close
in fact that the limbs will touch or even
interlock, it will take a cyclone to in
jure them. AS the wind cannot get a
chance at them, each tree is protected
from the hot rays of the sun by its foil
age; or even if lifted and blown to one
side the tree trunk will be shaded by its
neighbor.
Even with the best of protection it is
doubtful if trees will reach an advanced
age in the west in comparison with the
east. But there is no doubt that from
ten to 20 years can be added to trees
usefulness by proper protection.-Ne-
braska Farmer.

complicated scientific process to con-
duct it successfully. That this opinion
is inaccurate is shown by the home
made germinator seen in cut, repro
duced from Circular No. IS, issued by
the division of bontany, United States
department of agriculture. A piece of
moist flannel is placed on plate, the
seeds put on the flannel, second piece
of moist flannel being laid over them,
and a second plate is then inverted over
the whole. A certain number of seeds
should be carefully counted out, and the
terminating ones removed and counted
as fast as they appear. In testing Grim
son clover, if the seed is good, so to 30
per cent. should sprout within three
days. The government seed expert, A.
j. Peters, especially advises tests be-
fore sowing crimson clover. Most fail
ures with it are due to old seed, but
even fresh seed may be of poor quality.
This seed should test IS to 95 per cent.

LICE HERDED BY ANTS.
Parasites Pastured on the Roots of
Peach Trees for the Honey Dew
They Furnish.

Many Ohio peach orchards have been
suffering from the attacks of the wood
louise or aphis, as it is more correctly
known, and complaints were sent in
from all over the state to the agricultur-
al experiment station at Wooster asking
what should be done to get rid of the
pest. The lice were found on the roots
of the trees, where they had stripped
off the bark in order to get at the sap
more readily. The authorities tried a
number of insecticides, but without
success, for whenever the insecticide
was strong enough to kill the lice it also
killed the tree. And, after long series
of experiments, the conclusion has been
reached that the only way of getting
rid of the lice is to eXterminate the ants
which carry them about, for without
the aid of the ants the aphis will be ut
terly unable to get to the roots of peach
or any other trees.
The aphis occupies queer place in
the insect world, for the ants, Lasius
Americans, use them for mich COWS,
herding and caring for them very much
as a man tends his cattle. In the fall the
ants collect the eggs of the aphides,
carry them to their homes and care
for them through the winter. AS soon
as spring opens and the eggs hatch out,
the ants start out to find suitable peach
tree pastures. The younge'i and more
tender the tree the BETTER The ants
burrow down into the grou 4 close to
the bark of the tree and then run a
series of galleries out along the roots.
After the galleries have been completed
the ants carry the young aphides to the
pasture ground, and, gnawing away the
bark on parts of the roots, place the
aphides around the edge in order that
they may suck the sap freely. Here the
the lice are kept prisoners for the terms
of their natural lives, the ants taking
turns at herding them and keeping
plenty of fresh roots exposed.
OF course, the ants do not go to all
this trouble without reward. From the
back part of the abdomen of the louise
project two glands which produce
sugar or honey dew, as it is called. This
is greedily devoured by the ants, and
the lice are carefully tended in order
that they may produce as much of it as
possible.
The depredations of the lice are not
confined to the orchards. The corn
fields also suffer. The ants burrow
down to the roots of the corn stalks and
place the lice there just as they do on
peach trees, and the crops suffer in con-
sequence.-N. Y. Sun.

Kansas hamlet, and we talked things

he should have been duly impressed
with the array of names. He wasn't

to be wondered at, for the perfection of

Packing Apples for Export.

Apples for export should be honestly
and tightly packed with sound fruit;
sample barrels are entirely einptied in
the presence of the buyers. They
should be packed in clean packages, well
coopered, and the head of the barrel
should be neatly stenciled with the
name of the variety, grade and some
shipping mark; the English law also
requires the letters ~. S. A." to be
on every barrel shipped to that coun-
try. Export apples should be shipped
as soon as practicable after packing,
and if held in storage for a consider
able length of time should be entirely
repacked. The best varieties for ex-
port are the hard and best colored
