Currant bushes are usually too thick
and are seldom properly cultivated.
There are some advantages III train
ing currant bushes to a single stem at
the ground, as they are then more
easily cultivated and kept clear of
grass and weeds. Such bushes are
easily raised by rubbing off all the
buds from the lower part of the cut
ting when planting, all Of which will
be below the surface of the ground.
Good crops can be obtained, however,
from bushes with several stems pro.
vided proper pruning and cultivation
be bestowed.

The supreme court Of Wisconsin has
found it necessary to sound a note of
warning to attorneys, and even to
courts, so that estates which come
into the custody and control of the
courts may not be robbed and depict
ed. The court sounds its warning in a
decision rendered in the suit Of Spei-
ser against the Merchants Exchange
bank, recently reported, and it is
creating a sensation in legal circles.
Dodge, the court says: "The present
case Is SO impressive an illustration
that We cannot ignore the duty to
make it the text for some general re-
marks upon tendency Of the bar, and
even with courts, which promises to
develop into a most serious abuse, If
1t has not already done so. That ten
dency is to look upon funds in gremio
legis as not sheltered by the same
rights of ownership, and not entitled
to the same protection from extortion-
ate and unreasonable charges, as if
they had remained under the custody
and control of their owners.
Some of the demands made against
such funds could be justified only upon
the view that they are already di-
vested from private ownership; that
any part thereof which ultimately
reaches those to whom they really be-
long does so only by grace, or by way
Of free gift so that any deduction
therefrom, however illogical in char
acter or excessive in amount, cannot
be subject for complaint by any one"
After pointing out that receivers and
trustees should be restrained to rea-
sonable charges, the court continues:
"Only in the wise discretion and firm
ness of the courts can there be found
prevention or remedy for the abuse
and disgrace Of judicial conservation
of estates from their enemies, only to
permit their destruction by the very
salvors. If such abuses continue, the
beneficent power Of court of equity
to taIB to its sheltering arms liti-
gated estate while rights to it are be-
ing established will become a mock
cry worse than the avoided perils as
1t is more effective. The record before
us presents one Of the most extreme
Acases of affirmative misconduct on the

wood Ashes For Strawberries.

A correspondent of Rural New York.
er says that he has learned that wood
ashes are not a good fertilizer for
strawberries on sandy loom. He
has field on which in 1889 he put
about four hundred bushels per acre
of unleached ashes, and he has set
strawberry plants on it twice, and
both times most of the plants died out
when dry time came, though at the
euds Of the row where the ashes We're
not put they made q coed stand. He
has grown good crops of early and
late cabbage and of potatoes on the
land, and the best crop of late cabbage
he had was on that land the same
year he applied the ashes. We think
one hundred bushels of unleached
ashes enough for almost any crop, and
certainly upon light loan we would
not use more, though cabbages, pota-
toes and grass would not be hurt by
more, and the heavy application would
last longer, but one hundred bushels
to the acre would show its effect for
at least twelve years afterward. The
lime and potash are too strong for the
roots Of the strawberries, and we think
it would be for some other crops when
used in so large an amount. We do
not think beans or peas would grow op
1t very well.-American Cultivator.

The older countries, in spite Of the
rapid strides we have made in inven-
tion, are a good deal ahead of us in
many ways. There is the question of
the disposal of garbage, for instance!
1t is said that it costs the city of New
York about 100000 a year to get rid
Of it, while many English cities, by
burning it in special furnaces, not only
destroy it in the most effective way,
but actually make profit out of it..
The furnaces dry it out so that it may
be used as fuel, and this fuel is used in
making steam for pumping water, run.

The determination Of Japan to be-
come in every sense modern nation is
In no line Of development made more
plain than in the matter of shipyards.
The Toxic shipyard, covering fully 60
acres, is reported as employing 1900
men, who have all the latest machin-
cry. including pneumatic riveters. Six
steamers of 100000 tons are on the
stocks. The fact that the works are
equipped with electricity is further
Indication of the progressive spirit now
ruling.
The shipbuilding yard at Nagasaki is
also going ahead, but special interest
attaches to the new government steel
works. Some 100000 yens have al
ready been spent, but 100000 yens
have been voted. The works are on the
eastern shores of Kiushiu, the most
southern of the large islands forming
the empire and are, therefore, con-
tiguous to China. The establishment,
which covers 230 acres, is close by the
coal fields, connected with the railway,
and seaport, having over 20 feet of
water will be convenient for the shdp-
ping of the finished products to the
northern islands, and also to China,
which ultimately must become large
customer. The works are thoroughly
equipped. In addition to blast furnaces
there are coke ovens, and in the steel

American Apples For France.

The American apple is growing more
popular in England as the people be-
come acquainted with them. The Lon
don Chronicle says that France is
about to follow in the wake of Eng
land in taking to the American apple.
Happily. however, England will not
suffer any diminutlon in the quantity
she now gets, for our apple trees yield
as much as 210000.OOO barrels in sea-
son. Indeed, 1t is probable that the
whole of Europe could be. supplied
without any great difficulty, seeing
that every year from 100000 tp 1O,-
100000 barrels of apples are carried in
cold storage in the United States.

The Good Effect of Thinning Trees.

Since fruit when thlnned is more
is greater opportunity for uniform
development. The smaller the num-
ber of fruits, the greater will be the
supply of food for each and the result
will be larger size, better color, better
quality, and higher market prices, and
the satisfaction of producing an eX-
ira good article. The tree will make
n moderate growth, set fruit buds for
next years crop, and ripen its wood
SO that it will not be liable to be in
jured by the water. With varieties
that will naturally produce crops BIZ

age the habit Of bearing annual crops.

it will wash down just below the

there concealed, an infinitely greater

an effort is to be made to keep it
above water, and this is to be done by
planting on it certain trees whose

The roots branch out widely and in
