Success in Apple Growing.
One of the most successful growers
of apples, whose trees are usually
loaded with fruit, attributes some of
his success to the manner in which he
sets out his trees and the care taken
in thinning out the surplus fruit and
removing the windfalls. He digs a
hole about five feet square in which
the young tree is set, and then fills in
with rich soil and compost. The or
chard is never plowed, the manure
being spread upon the surface every
fall. Experience has taught him that
the little r%ootlets of the apple tree
come to the surface of the ground for
any nourIshment they may receive.

BAKER HUNG
HIMSELF MONDAY.
Frank Busch Ends His Life at
GlassbOrO i'm the Afternoon.

Monday afternoon, at four O'Clock,
at Glassboro, Frank Busch, was
found dead in his bed room. He had
strangled himself by tying his sus-
penders about his throat.
Busch was manager of @. R.
Corey's Glassboro bakery. He was
working here until recently, and then
moved to Glassboro to take charge of
the place. He formerly lived in
Cedarville, and had baking estab-
lishment there, and at one time was
mixed up in criminal case in the
County Courts.
Mr.. Corey was in Glassboro Mon
day morning and arrived home on
the noon train. Later in the day
he was shocked to learn that the man
had been found dead.
Busch retired Monday morning
about ten o'clock, having finished his
nights work, and as his custom, re-
manned in his room until late in the
afternoon. About four o'clock, Mrs.
Busch went to his room to call him.
She was Mortified to find his nude
body stretched upon the floor dead
About his neck were his suspenders
made into a moose. The other end of
them fastened about the bed post, and
death was due from strangulation.
The suicide was evidently very de-
termined in his desire for death. The
body, upon the floor, was partially in
a reclining position.
Busch was well-known baker, and
excellent workman, and there is no
Immediate reason assigned for his
death. He had some mental troubles,
however, which have been apparent
for some time.
