while driving to cabinet meeting at

STARTLING DISCLOSURES.
Inside Facts Regarding Failure of
the Firm of Gaylord,
Blessing AZ Co.

St. Louis, July 1G.-Sensationai ad-
missions have been made on the stand
by Samuel \. Gaylord, senior member
of the firm Of Gaylord, Blessing d Co.,
which failed recently. Mr.. Gaylord,
who is one Of the oldest stock brokers
in the city, admitted at the hearing
before Bankruptcy Referee Coles that
the firm had been practically insolvent
for two years and had been doing busi-
ness on other peoples money-'on
funds secured from local customers.
Deals wherein no stock ever changed
hands, being mere matter Of book
keeping in which the firm never forgot
to charge up commissions, margins
and interest, were admitted by Mr..
Gaylord, who also told Of the employ
ment of relatives names and the use
of an insane mans name in the ac-
counts. At the time of the failure
they were short S1j0,0O0 in bonds, face
value. and over 5000 shares of stocks
in New York. 1t was admitted by the
witness that the failure was due TO
their own speculation, by which they
had hoped TO win out and pay off their
Indebtedness, estimated to have been
something near 100000.

land. The illustration shows a por-
ton Of the present tract after trim
ming and thinning.
In many parts of this woodland the
timber's bulk has doubled in seven
years. The plan was TO take out those
oak that interfered with or shaded
too much the young pines, leaving
enough of them standing TO encour-
age the sprouting of pine seeds which
came up in all parts Of the ground
without planting. The sprouts from
oak stumps were pounded off in WIN
ter when the stumps were frozen. Mr..
Morton does not wait for limbs to die
before pruning. but begins TO trim off
the lower branches when the trees are
five feet high, repeating the treatment
when the trees increase in height.
This plan keeps the branches from
growing into the timber. 1t is found
that quick healing is promoted by
cutting the limb extremely close, so
that the inner trunk bark on all sides
is penetrated, making scar about
twice the diameter of the limb cut
off. Limbs up to three inches in diam
eter cut off in this way heal much fast
er than those merely cut off close to
the outside bark. 1t is not stated that
this principle will apply to trees other
than pine.
The experience of Mr.. Morton indi-
Gates that about SO years are re-
quired TO bring pines from seed TO a
size suitable for lumber Others al
low As years. The soil used by Mr..
Morton is very light, with sandy
subsoil. Trees 10 TO % years old APP
pear to have made an average yearly
gain in growth of wood of fully 100
per cent. The illustration shows a
part of Mr.. Morton's tract, on which
are pines about 80 years old. The for
eign growth has been removed and
the trees trimmed since owned by Mr..
Morton. The owner estimates that
the wood on the lot paid for the ex-
penses of removing the foreign
growth. Bushes were kept moved at
a cost of about $50 for the entire
period.-Orange Judd Farmer.

What Result to the SoiIf

L would not seem to undervalue sta
bic manure, but it is a mistake to
suppose that land must grow poor
when we cease to feed everything
upon the farm. IT is not necessary
10 sacrifice all income for the sake
of keeping up the soil. Now that we
know more about the composition Of
the soil, we know that productiveness
depends in great degree upon the
presence of organic matter in il, and
not solely upon stable manure or COM
mercial fertilizers. The ideal condi-
ton would be one in which a goodlv
number % live stock could be kept
with profit on nearly every farm, but
the cattle feeders of most fertile
eastern valleys must give up a farm
scheme that makes fat cattle and
wheat the only cash products. The
list OF cash crops will be made longer
and clover, peas and sods must be
freely used to supplement the ma
nure Farm and Firesde.

Perchance you feel like signing, dear,
Just check the sigh and smile;
And cheer some wayWorn wanderer
Der many a weary mile.
a kindly word, a loving smile.
Great blessings doth bestow
Tire power have they to charm away,
A heavy load of woe.
Alas! the many aching hearts,
Along the circling years.
Though there be dearth of all things else
Is never dearth of tears.
Then put aside thy griefs, dear heart,
Nor grudge smile to dole;
Twill cheer thine own sad lot, and bless
AS well thy neighbours soul.
For there was One whose spirit oft
Was wrapped, methinks, in gloom.
Before Him rose dark Calvary's cross,
The agony of the tomb.
And still He ever strove to cheer
The wayworn pilgrim lone;
Jesus! Imperial Prince of Peace,
From Heavens eternal throne!
TITS not the costly gift bestowed
That cheers the aching heart,
It is the kindly sympathy,
It is loves magic art.
And blessed shall thy memory be,
Though naught thou hast to give
But kindly words and loving smiles;
And 10! thy soul shall live.

full Growers.

One of the most successful potato
growers in the country is an Ohio man,
who recently gave his methods public
ity before meeting of horticulturists
He claimed that by turning und er two
or three clover sods, and thus securing
a large amount Of humus in the soil, he
could grow a crop of potatoes without
the aid of drop of rain from planting
to harvest. He grows only medium
early sorts, thus enabling him to SOW
the land to wheat after taking off a
crop of potatoes. Paintings are made
four inches deep, in drills 80 inches
apart and from IL to Is inches between
the pieces.
Before the potatoes are up the soil
should be worked twice with a smooth
ing harrow to loosen the surface soil
and kill starting weeds. AS soon as the
rows can be made out a cultivator
should be used, the teeth being run
four inches; but when the tops are four
to six inches high the cultivation
should be about two inches deep. At
least once week-and as soon as the
ground is in condition after rain
a shallow cultivation should be given
up to the time the vines cover the
ground. Much of the cultivation NAV
be done with the weeder, thus keeping
the weeds down as well as giving the
necessary cultivation..-Nat Land
