A THREAT HELD UP.
President Tim Not Permitted to Send
His Views to the DOwager EN-

His Views to the Dowager EN-
press.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 11.-A
! Helena, Mont, special to the Pioneer
Press says:
President Tim, of the "Poh Wong
Weh," yesterday sent the following
cablegram to the Empress Dowager, at
Pekin, through the British embassy at

Unless the heir apparent, Futchun,
is superseded, unworthy advisers re-
moved and Emperor Kwongsu is re-
stored to power, we will combine in
terror Chinese and raise an army"
The cablegram was signed by the
association. To-day President Tim
received the following reply from the
embassy at Shanghai:
Yours yesterday to Empress Dowa-
ger, Pekin, will be stopped here from
further transmission. Considered
dangerous to security of country"
President Tim asserts that thous-
ands of dollars are being raised by the
association to equip an army in China
which will be marched against the

The remedy is simple and has been
found satisfactory time and again

! The remedy is simple and has been
found satisfactory time and again.
Winter pruning of fruit trees is al
| ways advised when an increased top
growth is desired, summer pruning
promoting fruitfulness only. Slow
growing or stunted trees may be much
improved by pruning this winter, the
effect being that strong pressure of
sap is brought to bear on the remain
ing buds thus furnishing greater
supply of noursihment for each and
forcing a stronger growth of wood. An
application OF bone meal and muriate
of potash will materially assist trees
in making increased wood growth.
If currant, blackberry and raspberry
plantations are not especially rich they
may be greatly improved by scattering
quantity OF fine manure about the
roots. Do this now before the ground
freezes hard. 1t will not only enrich
the soil so that the plants will make
strong start in the spring, but will act
as a protection of the roots against
frost.
On the first open day when the
ground is reasonably dry go over the
garden patch, smooth down all burrows
anu Hills VIII the ndITOW anu cover
the ground with heavy coat of ma
nure. If supply of hen manure is on
hand mix it thoroughly with the stable
manure before applying. This fertil-
izing material will work down into the
ground during the winter and be ready
to nourish the young plants when set
out in the spring.
Handy Poultry Feeder.
To make poultry keeping profitable
various leaks must be closely looked
after. The food problem is one requir-
ing close attention, for considerable
money may be easily wasted if the ar
rangements are not such as will per-
nit of all the food given being eaten
clean. The feeder is one of the best
money savers for poultry keepers and
is especially valuable where soft food
is part of the rations The box or
trough is easily made. 1t may be of
any desired length but should be so
narrow that the food may be readily
reached by the fowls. Both sides are
Slated, the Stats being placed about
two inches apart. One board of the
roof is nailed on, the other hinged so
that it may be raised. This box may
be used for soft food entirely if a
scratching shed or some other place is
provided where grain may be scattered
in such a way that the hens must
scratch for it.
