UNpRoEITABLR TREES.
Some Reasons why the Fruit CPop ee
? 8. Many Orchards 10 Not what
=. 1t Should Ne.

In some cases it. will he found that
old fruit trees, though profitless at
present, consist Of good sala bic kinds.
and the question is: BY what means
can such trees be brought into fruit.
full or profitable condition? A fruit
tree Of this kind need not nece ssarily
be Improbable because it is old,
though If it is old and has been neg
lected it must be. We find that many
of this class Of tree are what they are
through neglect. The heads have for
years been allowed to become tam
gled mass of growth. The head wood
has become crowded, SO that too many
fruits set, and in the end do not come
to salable size, neither do they color
up as they should do. In such cases
the remedy is simple. The old, dead
growth must be cut out thoroughly.
The undiscovered boughs must be
cleaned. AN branches that cross and
rub against each. other must be reg
ulated by removal, and generally the
pruning out process must be carried
out in such q way that when finished
the heads of the trees will be open and
airy, which will insure a free crop OF
the best fruits. If anyone will look
into the matters with which we deal
they will find that the majority of the
profitless fruit trees we refer to are
planted in grass land. The fact is in
structive, and it justifies in the most
emphatic manner the denunciat tions
that we have launched against the sys'
tenn for years. It is utterly impossi-
bic to grow the best apples and pears
in grass land-there can be no doubt
about that. If we pay visit in the
fruiting season to the fruit trees set
in grass we shall be struck with the
small. size of the fruits the trees usual
ly bear. There may be plenty of ap-
Piles or pears, but there will be few
good-size6 fruits. to be seen among
them. Tillage is of the utmost inn
portance to fruit trees, but this impor-
tant operation cannot be carried out
when the trees are surrounded with
grass. Aerati ton, so necessary in the
production of large-sized fruits, be"
comes impossible, and the fine surface
,tilth that is, so needful under good cul-
ture cannot be produced unless. the
land is open and uncropped by grass
or any crops growing right up to the
stems of the trees.-London Globe.

COLD STORAGE PAYS.
Experience with Apples Proves That
1t IL Profitable to Keep Them
Until Spring. $4

! For three years now we have placed
Baldwin apples in cold storage with.
remarkable success. We refer to cold
storage houses worked by ammonia
and machinery, such as are built IN
large cities on scientific principles.
We pick our apples as soon as they
have matured, place them immediate
ly in barrels, and draw at once to-
the cold storage house. The sooner
they are put into cold storage after
being taken from the tree the bet-5
ter; when the apples have lain in the
barn in ba9rels for week or two,*
they have not kept as we'll as those
moved at once to cold storage house.
We find that the apples shrink some,S
and have to be run over before ship
ment if held until latter part of March
Some times it has taken one barrel to-
fill out the shrinkage of ten barrels.
We often find five or ten decayed ap-s
pies in barrel of Baldwins opened
about April /. If the apples were held,
in barns few weeks before putting
in cold storage, we might find a pee.
or more of bad apples. Baldwins
which we put in cold storage, and
which we could have sold for $1.2O per
barrel last fall, we find no officially
in selling in large quantities at three
dollars per barrel March Is.
Our apples have been carefully grad
ed and have pleased our custom
wherever they have gone. c. w. Jen-
nings, large dealer in North Caro-
lima, writes US. that he has bought
many car loads of apples each year,
but that he has never seen such fine
apples as those we sold him; he says
the quality and flavor and beauty are
superior to apples he has previously
purchased, and yet we do not consid-
er our Baldwins of last year up to the
average size on account Of the long
spell Of dry weather. Our experience
encourages us in placing long keeping
winter apples in cold storage. 1t is
certainly profita bic to do 50. We pay
so cents per barrel for cold storage
from November to May l. Bartlett
pears can also be put in cold storage
with profit.-Green's Fruit Grower.

FOR W0MEN'S TROUBLES TOO.

New Baden, ILL.,, August 12th:-Mrs.
Anton Griesbaum, Jr., has been very

housework. Sheha tried many things,
but got no relief.

which is better known here as a cure
for Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy,
and Rheumatism, worked like charm
in Mrs. Griesbaum's case. She used
three boxes and is now new woma n,
able to do her work as well as ever
she was. Her general health is much
improved, and she has not a single
symptom of Female Trouble left.

Orchards thatSarekept TO advantage

the custom with experienced fruit
growers to SOW the orchard land to
rye in August and turn the growing
rye under before the stalks become
hard. Lime is then broadcasted over
the plowed ground. Some growers use
crimson clover as winter cover crop.
The point to observe is to sow the
clover seed early, not later than the

$1IATE DALTON found her friend
\ N Jessie Cochrane's lovers an inter
esting. study. It is to be presumed she
fell to comparisons, and that, in the
process certain stalwart young man
of her own far away in the east did not
suffer. She was convinced that ulti-
mate victory would rest with either
Lieut.. Horace Mansfield or Mr.. James
Warren, and the long odds were all
in favor Of the army officer who was
fresh from the laurels of q Santiago
campaign. It did not hurt the case
of Mansfield that he had accidentally
come into collision with Mauser bull
let while he was on. his way up the
hill to the Spanish intrenchments on
that fatal day wnen so many blue
coated lads went to their death. In
fact, unless Miss Danton guessed
wrong, it lent to him q romantic
glamour which was seriously lacking
in the person of that unromantic
business civilian Warren. Proba bly, the
lieutenant was quite unconscious OF
playing the hero even though he had
u BOOu UedA ~ Suy oOOuV ~A~sS Wv
Jessie Cochrane in her imagination
dressed him for the part and set him
on q pedestal whether he would or
not.
When the four of them started on
the cog road for the summit of Bears
peak one morning the smiles were for
the gentleman with gold buttons, and
James Warren vas quick to recognize
that fact. He was a prosaic man who
faced the facts of. life, and the one
that stood out to hurt him now was
the certainty that the scales were
dipping in favor of his rival. Yet
though he was not enjoying life that
morning he showed wooden, unper-
turbed face. and forced himself to
take part in the gay chat.
After time they fell to telling
stories, and Warren offered as his
contribution the well-worn> anecdote
of the old lady who was riding on
the cog road and grew nervous for
fear of an accident. She stopped the
conductor to ask him what would
happen if the coupling pin should
break. That official reassured her by
explaining about the air brake. And
if the air brake gave way? In that
case there were other emergency

brakes which might be relied upon
to check the car. But supposing these
too broke, what would then become
of them? I'm that case," the con-
ductor told her, gravely. ~''it would
depend upon the kind of life they
had been leading"
The talk drifted to- a discussion Of
the abject terror and panic fear which
sometimes sweeps oyer crowd at a
dangerous moment. The lieutenant
believed that such moments were the
touch-stones to test the. quality of a
man; if one flinched then he was a
coward, if not he might be said to
have won his spurs of manhood. War
rem had not much to say about it..
He stated that he had never been in
Q panic, and in consequence he could
not tell how he would. behave. He
supposed he would be in dreadful
funk. He had known men with a
good deal of sand lose their nerve
at times, and he did not think they
were necessarily towards on that ac-
count. The young volunteer officer
disagreed with him in, toto, and it
was plain that Miss c. chrane accept
yEed his decision as final. Indeed, her
friend from the east thought she
1ooked Mr.. Warren over, rather
cavalierly and that his defense of the
tunheroic man had lost him ground in
her esteem. Z.
The lieutenant appeared to have
much TO say to Miss Jessie of q pri-
SS,xate nature after the party had ar
rived at the summit of the Peak. The
xother two OWNED that they would
srather be alone together, and though
Warren longed for e yes in lae back
