Starting "a Peach Orchard.

From Farmers Review. Here arc
the most essential points in starting
peach orchard: If possible start
with trees propagated from buds
taken from trees of greatest vigor.
The most vital point is selection of
varieties. If growing for the open
market, yellow varieties should be
used; also, few sorts. For my locality
Eide and Elberta are the best. Do not
plant too close-not closer than IS
by 20 feet. Closer planting would be
all right if an annual pruning (short-
ening in) were practically. S. Per-
rine, Marion County, Illinois.

Progress In horticulture.

From Farmers Review: In horti-
culture the greatest advancement is
in orchardng. Farmers are begin
ming to see that they must cultivate
and take care of orchards as well as
other farm crops. Spraying is also
receiving more attention than former
ly, and now apples being good price
will be quite an inducement to those
having orchards to give them more
attention.
Orcharding is the only line of horti-
culture in which l can see any profit

To Get Best Prices for AppI,s,


At the recent meeting OF the Illinois
State Horticultural Society, H. NJ. Dun
Tap said: Those who were fortunate
enough to have a full crop OF apples
this year ought certainly to have been
well satisfied with the proceeds from
the orchards. There never was a time,
l think, in the history of the state
when everything was disposed of TO so
good an advantage in the markets as
this year. They made, in some in
stances, as high as four grades OF ap-
pies, three of them were shipped to
market and the fourth was shipped to
the evaporation or cider press, and they
got good prices for all even the latter
bringing from 20 to % cents per bush
ell; in many instances so cents per
hundred was not an uncommon thing
on the track by the carload for cider
stock and evaporation stock, and ap-
pies sold by the barrel, orchard run
hand-picked, ran from SIPS to S275
per barrel. The diversity In price
seemed to be more on account of the
number OF packers there were in that
neighborhood rather than the quality
of the fruit. so 1t behooves us as
growers to have our localities well
advertised in the market, and there
is no way in which we can advertise
our special lines Of fruit growing so
well as in sending out fruit that is
properly, carefully and honestly
packed. If a neighborhood as a whole
will do this, they will find that the
buyers will look up that locality every
year, and look it up to the advantage
of the fruit-Erowers themselves.

the true value Of thinning can be re-

THREE BULLETS SPED
King Shot Two Sisters of
Charity and Himself
All Because He Wanted to Know His Parents
Names and the Information Was
Refused.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, July 17.-Henry F.. King,
thirty years DID, entered the office of the
New York Founding Asylum this after
noon and shot two Sisters of Charity.
He then ran into the grounds of the in
stitution and shot himself in the left
breast, making only flesh wound. King
was taken to a police court, where he
was committed without bail for eXamina
tion Saturday. The injured sisters are
Sister Angela, forty-five years old, shot
in the right arm, and Sister Cecilia,
thirty years old, shot in the left arm and
side. Neither was fatally hurt.
King, who has been frequent visitor
to the Founding Asylum, is believed to
be demented. He suffered for some time
from melancholia
When he was arraigned King said he
had begged the authorities of the Found
ling Asylum to give him information
about his BIRTH but that they had re-
fused to do so. This so angered him, he
said, that he did not know what he was
doing.
King came to this city in 1898 from
Baltimore and commenced a search for
the identity of his parents.

Winston Salem, N. c., July 17,-Mr. N.
Glenn Williams, a prominent citizen of

this afternoon. Mr.. Williams also had

Mr. Holton had only been in the store
few minutes when Mr.. Williams entered

blows had been struck when bystanders
interfered and separted the two men.
Mr.. Holton was buying a monkey

parted the men Mr.. Holton struck Mr..
Williams one blow with the wrench.
A large crowd gathered soon after the
affair with view to hearing the version
of each of the two men. Mr. Williams
lawyer stated that the trouble was of
long standing and originated out of some
remarks made by Mr.. Holton IN a trial
in Yadkin county some time ago. The
alteration today was simply the out
growth of hard feelings engendered on
this occasion. -
In talking TO some friends this after

no more of Mr.. Williams in the trial re-

any other man in similar circumstances
He added that he considered the attack

Confederate Monument Dedicated.
(By the Associated Press.)

Elkns. w. Va, July IA Confederate
veterans monument was dedicated today
on top of Valley Mountain near here in
memeory of Southern soldiers who fell
at the lonely spot.
The money for the monument was
raised chiefly by a number of wealthy
English residents of Mingo Flats, w.
Va. Bishop Peterkin, of the Episcopal
diocese of West Virginia, was orator of
the day.
During the Civil War half dozen or
so of Confederates were killed in the
skirmishes there and were buried in
lonely spot on top of the mountain far
away from any human habitation. The
monument is not an imposing marble
shaft. but is plain slab of native West
Virginia stone, nicely engraved and fin
ished by an old Confederate veteran of
Randolph county.
