The Peach.

Probably if the matter could be sub
mitted to popular vote, the fruit that
would carry off the palm for excel
lence would be the peach. 1t is uni
versal favori'te the world over, and
there are very few people who do not
feel a sense of almost personal loss,
when, as now, the country has been
swept by so disastrous a freeze as
that of February IA of the present
year.
Naturally there will be great deal
of disbursement among the growers
of this delicious fruit, and many, no
doubt, will be induced to abandon the
business of peach growing. This is
human nature, but it is not wisdom or
business shrewdness. The crop of any
kind for which there is a universal de-
mand, and which a great many people
are ready to give up on account of the
obstacles encoun tered, is the very one
a wise man will make every effort to
grow.
To those who have skill and perse
verance and business sense to take adj
vantage of the present discouraging
conditions in peach culture a few
words by way of suggestion may not
be amiss. In the northern fruit belt
if is not too late to set trees, and in
the southern the summer may be prof
itably spent in getting ready to do so.
Very much depends ON selecting the
ground. The peach tree is very poor
weather profit 1t is altogether in too
big a hurry to get started in the
spring. Locations should always be
chosen which are likely to retard rath,
or than favor early blooming. Dry,
weU-drained soil, with more sand than
clay in it's composition and fairly high
elevation. should be given the prefer
ence.
The number of varieties now urged
upon the attention of the growers is
so great the task of making a goW
selection has become rather difficult

or some other and will find plenty to
follow in their belief.
Ten thousand years ago there were
few doctors and no bacilli. We had

steps to remove the cause of our ter

Digging, Pruning and Transplanting
Young Trees.

XOuuS AACOS'
A large proportion of the trees rhat
are lost i'm resetting die because they
have been injured when they were
taken up. Without a good root or
stem a tree can make but little prog
ress in growth. In digging up trees
the surface soil should be removed to
the root system, then a trench dug
around the tree outside the mass or
roots: then by cutting under the roots
with sharp spade on each side the
tree may be loosened from the soil
with good supply of young growing
roots. If the tree is large, the trench
must he made around the roots to the
depth of the lowest, and the roots
gradually loosened and freed from the
soil.
No matter how carefully tree is
dug, many of the young feeding roots
will be injured or destroyed. Thus
only "a small amount of sap can be
supplied to the branches and buds,
which nevertheless continue to evap-
crate large amount of water; thus
the tree often starts very slowly and
sometimes fails entirely. BY removing
the branches and buds in proportion to
the injury of the roots, a balance is
maintained All injured roots should
be cut off clean with knife and the
wounds of large roots should be paint
ed over with some waterproof cover
ing.
When trees are planted the roots
which should be pressed firmly in con-
tact with every fiber, leaving no air
space around them, and all should be
spread out in natural position. The
soil should he pressed very FIRMLY
around all the roots, so that the new
roots will be encouraged to make a
rapid growth. IF the soil in which the
tree is planted lis the same as the one
from which it was taken, the tree
should be set the same depth as it was
before it was removed. If the soil is
heavier, the tree should be shallower:
if Fighter, it should be placed deeper.
The surface of the soil which is over
the roots should be fine and light be-
cause the capillarity dis then broken up
and the moisture cannot escape

Get ,budded trees warranted free
from fungOid diseases and insect
pests. Don't fool away your time and
money with seedlings under the mis-
taken notion that they make more

year old. "June4budded" trees cost
less, and, while not SO large, can lie
transpIanted with greater ease and
more certainty.
Liberality in the preparation OF the
soil certainly pays, thorough culture
and generous fertilization are prime
requisites. Better plant one acre and
give it extra care, manuring and at
tention than five with half way iced
ing and Indifferent culture. If the
land has been planted with coWpeas
the previous year, with a dressing of
100 pounds of muriate of potash and
800 pounds of superphosphate, other
things being favorable it will probably
be in good condition for setting the
young grove.
Some trees can be let alone and
without pruning will bear fair
amount of fruit, but not the peach.
As soon as the trees are set they
should be cut back to about twenty
inches of the ground. Great care must
be taken in settling trees THAT all bruis-
ed or dried up roots are pruned off and
the earth carefully packed in around
the roots. Water freely after the earth

to two thirds of the new growth must

The Latest Thing Out is the Bacilli
Craze.

We are so terribly over run with
this supposed pest Of the human
race now in Chicago, that our State
Board and our Health Board had to
double their working crews.
| What the animals are is only known
to a few of the most learned of our
doctors. All we know is that plague
has come on us, and it is called, if you
are reading it up for general infOrma
tiOn, Bacteriology. The animal itself
is called by many names, according to
the brain of the man that finds him
out first. But the one now let loose
on the general public is called Bacilli,
and every day it is discovered in new
place. We get daily bulletins from
the Health Board which read: Water
not fit to drink; milk not fit for con-
sumption, and SO ON through the food
and drink list. So that bacilli is
scOurge. We are told that all our
food is full of bacilli. Our homes,
our clothing, our street cars, our beds,
our money, our families, our friends
are full of bacilli. We are forbidden
to kiss our wives and husbands or
children; to read newspapers or books
of any kind, as they are full of bacilli.
They have just discovered that dis
and now some genius must get a
method of hygiene for disinfecting the
phone every time it is used. And
suppose that the next thing will be

the mouths and ears of all persons

Now, as we are forbidden to eat
drink, sleep, wear clothes, ride in
street cars or other vehicles, court
OUR sweethearts, marry or kiss, talk
through a phone, read letters or books
or newspapers lin fact we are in a
terrible state of feeling about it. Our
bodies are full of bacteria, all the
fluids and solids in our anatomy are
full of microbes, everything on earth
and under it, has been found full of
microbes.
We have, in the Chicago river,
lovely stream of mud that could fur
nish microbes, bacilli and all the 9th
er pests enough to supply the whole
of America and give work to an army
of professors, finding names for them
their modes, accumulation and favor
lite habitat
And the stock yards are incubatOrs
that could supply the world with this
wonderful specimen, the Chicago ba-
cilli
The air we breathe and the mud in
our streets contain bacilli. But no
one has ventured to tell us how to es-
cape them. In fact we are like the
dove that went out of the ark and re-
turned because it found no place to
set it's feet. But we are even worse
off, for being full of bacilli ourselves
there is no relief.
What is the cause? We must be
made of very poor clay in these times;
or are we only made out of Chicago
mud, and of course full of bacilli to
start with. [ should like to know.

ADAMS POISONING.
DT. Hitchcock COntradicts Testimony
Given by Counsel.
He Says He Declared at Once a 0iahoIlcaI
Crime Had Been Committed.

New York. Feb 16.-The most i'm
portant testimony offered at the inquest
in the Adams case yesterday was given
by DR.. f. f. Hitchcock. who attended
Mrs. Adams in her last moments. Many
of the statements made by the doctor
were in direct contradiction to the tes-
timony of Mr.. Harry s. Cornish and
Frederick f. Hovey, both OF whom
were in Mrs. Adams fiat when she died.
DR.. Hitchcock testified that the boy
who summoned him told him that he
was wanted Immediately as "a party
had been poisoned The doctor was
sure that the word poisoned" was
used.
The witness also stated that in ths
hearing OF Cornish and Mrs. Rogers.
the daughter OF the murdered woman
he said that a diabolical crime has
been committed This evidence clash
ed with that OF Cornish, who repeated
ly stated while on the stand that no
suspicion that a crime had been COM
mitted had been suggested TO him un-
I'll two or three days after the death of
Mrs. Adams.
Cornsh's evidence was in this re-
gard partly corroborated by Hovey. The
doctor also testified that he asked Cor
nish repeatedly If he had any enemies
who could have any designs on his life.
and Cornish assured him that he had
no enemies and suspected nobody.
DR.. Hitchcock further said that he
had talk with Dr. Potter, who was
also In attendance on what the poison
bottle contained. While he and DR.. Pot
ter were talking Cornish. Mrs Rogers
and Hovey entered the room nr. Eot-
ter agreed with DR.. Hitchcock that tho
powder was a compound. The witness
also said that Mrs. Rogers asked him
If he thought the matter would get In
10 the newspapers, and the doctor re-
piled that il probably would Then Mrs.
Rogers asked If it could not be kept
quiet and the doctor said that would be
impossible.
One point on which DIR. Hitchcock
contradicte1 the testimony OF Hovey
related TO the condition OF the bottle OF
poison The doctor stated that he saw
no parafiine about the cork on mouth
of the bottle while Hovey in his testi-
mony said emphatically that the cork
was covered with paraffine.
