WATERING THE TREES.
Moisture Should Reach the Root.
from Some other Direction Rather
Than the Surface. :.

Unless the owner Of trees under
stands some of the more important
principles Of growth, there is danger
that he will, when applying water, do
more harm than good. To apply wa
ter in small quantities through the
droughty season is to cause the roots
in the ground to turn toward the sur
face and grow in that direction. Then
when the watering is discontinued for
any reason the roots dry out much
more quickly than if they had not
been watered at all. When water is
applied to trees it should be in suffi-
Gent abundance to soak the ground to
q depth of several feet. The roots
will then not turn up to get moisture.
If it is necessary to apply but little
water at a time it should not be put
on the surface of the ground. Dill q
hole and put q large piece of drain
pipe so that the water being thrown
into this pipe will soak deep into the
ground. In case of not having a
drain pipe or piece of tile, hole can
be made sufficiently deep to act as q
reservoir. Let the water soak into
the ground from this hole. The idea
is to get the water to the roots from
some other direction rather than from
the surface Of the ground.-Farmers'
Review.

ARRANGEMENT OF GARDEN.

=
horse cultivator it requires but a
fraction of the work that the Ole
garden did besides getting a great
deal more from it. Make it, say,
twice as long as broad, and plant
everything in rows all the way
across, excepting bed for such small
truck as radishes. With seed drill
and wheel hoe for planting and the
first wedding and a one-horse cult
vator for subsequent working, the
garden can be made without missing
the time. It should be near the
house and have high fence around
it to keep out the chickens. It should
be large enough to contain several
rows of small fruits. grapes etc,
which should be by themselves SO
that the balance of the land can be
plowed deep with the two-horse plow
early in the spring. A strip of sod
should be left at each end for the
horse to turn around on. After crops
are gathered in the fall, it should
have heavy application of stable
manure. If it has been well enriched
with manure, the use Of nitrate Of
soda alone will be found of advan-
tage on the early crops. Scatter it
around the young crops every two
weeks. 1t is convenient to use and
will have a wonderful forcing effect

SOME PEACH POINTS.
4. Merrill, Famed Threaghsue sAs
West ~ . Fruit Grower, talks
About His Business.

Following IL only . small part Of
some terse talk on peach culture
given by r. Morrill, the famous fruit
grower, before the Illinois society:
The man who can make a success VI
peach growing must love the busi-
ness. He must understand the few
essentials in selecting location; he
must, know that elevation means
everything to q peach orchard under
trying conditions; he must UNDER
stand the effect of temperatures on
plant life and on peach buds partic-
ularly; he must know that the buds
of the peach do not die as quickly in
moving air as they do in still air, as,
for instance, they may not kill on
the top of a plateau and on the side
OF hill, but kill at the lower level;
he must know that there must be q
proper balance maintained between
root and top in the care of his trees.
] spoke about a proper balance be-
tween root and top. The balance
must be preserved by careful cul-
ture of the soil, at the proper time.
The proper time is when growth COM
mences. Begin your culture and
hurry it forward, and keep at It.
Then cease at a time which you
must determine from your own con-
ditions. On my soil, which is not nj
trogenous soil, If a tree is bearing
heavy load, viii carry on that Gull
tivation as long as I can get around
that tree, until the branches begin
to hang down. If it were a highly
heterogeneous soil, would stop a biz
earlier, but stopping anywhere in the
middle Of the summer would be to
put check on the tree.
I would trim severely every peach
tree; I would trim it for symmetry
and to throw the balance Of power
with the root; would trim it be
cause I get better fruit; i would
trim it because it is a method OF
thinning the peaches; I would thin
the fruit Of good crop because the
formation Of seed is draft on the
tree and devitalizes it. It cannot ma,

ton. and next year, perhaps, you will
hear of the June drop. A tree care.
fully cultivated, fortified, thinned
and trimmed never suffers from June
drop, and it will add from. five to
eight degrees to the ability of the
tree to stand cold weather, and that
frequently makes the difference be-
tween an immense profit, after q
hard, trying winter, and nothing.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Spray the currant bushes with paris
green to destroy the worm that eats
the foliage.
Weeds to be at their best should die
young. See to it that those on your
farm do.
The same treatment given worms on
the gooseberry bushes as given the cur
rant bushes will destroy the worms
that eat the leaves.
It is said that canning Of fruits and
vegetables is the industry employing
the largest number Of people in the
state of Maryland.
Theland for raising should
be well MANFRED and ordinarily rich,
plowed well in the spring and the
ground well pulverized before plant
ing.
On account Of last years droughtand
the December frost many Of the south
ern strawberry plants were destroyed
and the output this season was only
about half a crop.
Look after the trees-any sprouts
starting where you do not want them
to grow may be rubbed off with the
hand when they are young. This is a
good way to prune.--Farmers' Voice.

Why, Alexander thought he'd done the

But Aleck left us quite a batch Of Jobs

Well, back in Caesars day

But you can bet old julie himself want

COULDN'T sTRA1GHTEN UP.

Breed, Wis, June 1eth.-Charles F.
Peterson, of this place, Justice Of the
Peace for Oconto County, tells the fol-
lowing story:
'sFor years I had an aching pain in
my back which troubled me very. much,
especially in the morning.
II was almost unable to straighten
my back and the pain was unbearable.
II did not know what it was, but
seeing an advertisementofD odd's Kid
ney Pills concluded to try box.
II can only say that that one box
alone has done me more good than
anything else ever did.
81 feel as well now as ever was.
81 have recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to several others who are using
them with good results"
Mr.. Peterson is a highly respected
man and one who would not-so posi-
lively make a statement unless it was
absolutely true.

the warp by passing the ball al
ternately over and under the threads
of warp. Peas do better on trellis
of this kind than on brush or wire
netting. We have no difficulty in
coaxing them to climb to the top or
beyond; the vines never burn on this
trellis as they will on wire one, dur.
ing the heated term. When the frost
puts them out of business, cut the
strings loose at the four corners of
frame, pull the vines and the entire
mass of vines and Irvine can be
slipped off the frame in two minutes
and carried away to be burned on the
rubbish heap. Anyone who has tried
to clear the old vines from wire net
ting will appreciate this easier way
of disposing of them.-J. E. Morse,

and there, but she took what was very
nearly as unpleasant course. She
could speak English very passably,
but she shut her little crimson lips
now and refused to say word. When
the Great Man or his wife spoke to
her.. she smiled sweetly and shook
her pretty head. "No speek En-
gleesh," was the uttermost she would
consent to say. Dorsey's rage was
naturally enough, in view of the
situation-very great. But it did not
blind him to many things, to the
contrast for instance, between the
smooth brushed locks of the Great
Mans wife, and the frizzled strands
of those of his own; between the
formers supple grace, and the lat
ter's undeniable chunkiness; between
the formers chic, and the latter's
dowdiness. Candalaria's feet had
never looked so like twin fiat irons,
and never had her waist seemed so
square and her skirt so hitched up
in front and dragging behind. In
the matter of features and of hands,
however, Candalaria had the advan-
tage, unquestionably. Only-Dorsey
looked at the face which changed
and lighted with every thought; and
then. he looked at the pretty placid
one. He looked at the large, firm
fingers, and palms, and then at the
little, white flacid ones.

prevails, however, that the men will
not come together according to sched-
ule, though no positive announcement
to this effect has been made by the
club under whose auspices they are
to meet From the time the match
was made Ryan has displayed his we'll
known dilatory tactics and this is
mainly responsible for the feeling of
doubt existing among local sporting
men. The failure to pull off the con-
test will cause general disappointment.
The two men are undeniably the best
of their class in the world and with
out doubt would put up one of the
best fights seen in this country in a

A TRUE POET.

Alfred Castner King, widely known
as "the blind poet of the Western
Slope" is in the city in the interest
of his book of poems, Mountain
Idylls and Other Poems'' just pub
lished by the Fleming H. Revell com
pauy.
Mr.. King was formerly miner in
the Smuggler Union mine at Tellu-
ride. And there his hours of reorea-
tion were spent in natures haunts,
and as he says,
where natures chemistry distills.
The fountains and the laughing rills. y
And often after returning to the
bowels of the earth. this child of
nature would stop, and seated upon u
powder magazine, write down the in
spirations which had come to him
from contemplation of the sublime
grandeur of the mighty mountain
peaks, the forests and mountain brooks
of San Miguel.
But two years ago in an evil hour n
premature explosion robbed this sweet
singer of the mountains of the light
of day. and the orbs that once kindled
at sight of natures handiwork were
made dark as the mine in which the
accident occurred.
The darkness is only external, how
ever, for the light which guides the
poet is within and it leads Mr.. King
on to sweeter songs. Alfred Castner
King is true poet. and it is true
and helpful pleasure to read the pro-
duct of his pen.
