Importance OF Pruptne ona so,,

Excessive pruning is to be credited
for q share of the work OF DESTROYING
the vigor of trees. Cutting away a
great portion Of the branches, some
OF them often large ones, causes decay
at the point Of severing and is a
receptacle for insect pests, and the
destruction Of corresponding quantity
of roots, which decay and give rise to
fungus growth. Merely rubbing off
superduous buds rs soon as they ap-
pear, or cutting out diseased or de-
cayed branches, usually will be all
that is necessary in the line of prun-
ing. The other important point in
the process of building up q tree is
proper soil. Perhaps from no cause
do trees suffer more than from lack of
support from the soil. Orchards are
too often planted on Indifferent
ground, because it is not so good for
cultivation; and for this very reason
it is not SO good for fruit-growing.
Soil in which corr will grow we'll will
produce fruit trees. But they must
not be left to grow and bear fruit from
year to year, depending on the ma
tural strength of the soil. The corn
field is not SO left, but is replenished
each year with more or less fertilizing
material; and so must the orchard be,
If healthy fruit-bearing trees are OBJ
tanned.
For a situation for an orchard, up
land, with rich loan soil, is best. If
It must be on wet or heavy clay soil,
It should be drained and supplied
with plenty Of sand or loan, worked
we'll and deep into the soil. Loan or
alluvium, composted with manure
rom the cattle stalls, is, in general,
good fertilizer for the orchard, and
should be supplied every two or
three years, or oftener if needed. The
compost should be worked down deep
into the soil at the extremities of the
roots, and as deep nearer the tree as
ian be done without damage to the
roots. Such management will insure
vigorous, healthy trees, that will not
50 readily succumb to disease.-The
Epitomist.

The fourth story of the Inaugurals

born in Virginia, March 16, 1751. His
father was an Englishman. Madison en-
tered Princeton College. in New Jersey,
in 1863, and graduated in III, after
which he studied law. In 17T6 he was
sent to the General Assembly. and was
a member Of the Executive Council in
1I1S. In lIl6 he was a member of the
Continental Congress, and was reelected
in 1856. When the Convention was called
to meet in Philadelphia to frame the Fed
eral Constitution he was a member of the
Convention, and was one of the signers.
He represented Virginia in Congress un-
der the Constitution, and was an elector
for President in 1900 In 1901 he was
Secretary of State, appointed by Jeffer-
son, which office he held during both
terms of Jefferson's Administration.
He was elected President, to succeed

old issue made by Republicans against
Hamilton's National Bank scheme. The
charter had expired March 4, 1911, and
an attempt was made for a re-charter.
The bill that was introduced in the
House was postponed by a vote of % to
"a. In the Senate it was lost by the cast
ing vote OF Nice-Presdent Clinton, al
though its provisions had been framed and
approved by President Madison's Secre-
tary of the Treasury, Albert Gallatin.
The bank wound up its business, drew
down its blinds and closed its doors. The
great financial program, as laid out by
Hamilton and approved by Washington,
had received at last the blow aimed by
jefferson. The Wings some years later
took the views of the Federalists on this
question.
In the extra session called Nov. 4, 1911,
Henry Clay was elected Speaker. John
G. Calhoun was also member of The
House, and had become noted for his
fearlessness in presenting his views.
