great continental centers west of st.
Petersburg. The discomforts of
ocean travel have been reduced TO a
minimum and Its actual dangers to al
most nothing. How many people in
the course of year would care to
waste two weeks or more in tedious
overland travel between America and
Europe when they can utilize the
ocean route at much less expendi-
ture OF time and money? There is a
limit in railroad construction. and it
would seem that Prince Hilkhoff was
"jollying" M. De Windt when he inti-
mated that the Russian government
would back twocontinent line as
soon as the explorer demonstrated its
feasibility. No doubt Alaska will
some day have a railroad system OF
its own connecting with that of tho
great Canadian trunk line to the
south, but it will be built with an eye
to territorial trade. and not with any
idea of establishing tunnel relations
with lines in Asia.

Il will tell you briefly what Peruna
has done for me. ] took severe cold
which gave me a hard cough. All doe
tors medicines failed to cure it. / took
one bottle of Peruna and was well.
"Then my two children had bad
coughs accompanied by gagging. NY

Old Orchards.

An orchardist of experience was dis.
cussing the condition of numerous old
orchards of this section, few days ago,
and gave it as his opinion that lot of
good healthy pruning was most desir-
able thing when dealing with an orchard
covered with moss and the trees loaded
with dead limbs. He says that where
there is a superabundance of moss it
forms a desirable place for Goblin moths
and other insect pests during the winter
and their presence is felt later on. The
moss should all be scraped of and the
trees freely sprayed with Bordeaux
Mixture.
The dead limbs should all be taken off
and the trees pretty we'll pruned down.
For the first year or two after vigorous
pruning the orchard will not produce
very much fruit, but what it does yield
will be first class. The year or two that
follows the pruning cannot be counted
as lost, because the fruit produced prior
to that time was worthless anyway. It
takes new healthy grow tn of timber to
produce rich lucious fruit.
