to treat fruit trees to have them do
their best, says Joseph Meehan. The
questions do not come from experienced
orchardists; they have had revealed
to them through practice what a tree
wants. 1t is those who are just en-
tering the business of fruit growing
who ask advice That the growing of
trees successfully is thought to be far
more difficult than it is, the questions
asked prove. 1t is like in olden times
when the whole art of gardening was
deemed so mysterious that heavy fees
were exacted from apprentices who
desired TO learn the business. Those
who are about to engage in the growing
of trees of any kind and are without
any practical knowledge of it would
find it most profitable to visit more
than once during the summer season
some nurseryInan establishment.
More could be learned of how to treat
trees in this way than any book could
teach. The practical nurseryman bent
on getting first-class trees in the short
est possible time, seeks first for a suit

In the older states there are but few
new positions rich enough in them
selves. Manure is usually required. The
nurseryman broadcaSts this material

supposing the work done in spring, the
cultiVator is put in service, and every
few weeks during the summer season
the ground is cultivated. The con-
slant stirring of the soil makes the
trees grow much better than they
would otherwise; in fact, in cultivation
lies great deal of the nurserymans
profit. This cultivation stops in Sep

ening in those growing too long. The
fruit grower who sets out or who
has charge of trees, needs to follow
in the steps of the nurseryman. Treat
his trees just the same. Cultivate
them all the time until they are in
bearing, or until of an age they should
be bearing. Let no crop rob them of
food; keep the ground around them
bare of vegetation. If in naturally good
ground they may need no manure other
than that already spoken of. When
of bearing age, cultivation is not neces-

ure or cultivation or both, a fair growth

Angoras are not sheep. They do not
eat grass as long as there are weeds
and brush, says the Sheepbreeder.
Their food is oak brush, sage brush,
buck brush, sunflower juniper, cac-
tus, brush and briers of every descrip-
ton. They are very domestic, and will
not wander from their range when once
located for "a few days and sailed.
They do not demand the herding that
cattle or horses do, for once placed they
will not migrate. They In no way in
terfere with the feed of cattle, and
hence can be run with them with adj
vantage, as the same attendant will
care for both. Its long silky coat is
called mohair, and the fact that the
price of these fleece brings to-day, and
has for years, more than twice that of
wool, is the best evidence of it's de-
mand.
All 'mohair" goods in the dress line
are made from this hair. The silk plush
of every Pullman and Wagner car is
made of Angora goat hair. Every
"vici kid" shoe is made from the goat
skin. There is a demand for five times
as much mohair as can possibly be
produced in this country, and the de-
mand is increasing every year.
Good Angoras bring more than twice
the price of good sheep in the market
to-day. Their milk and the meat are
both absolutely free from any tubercu-
lar contamination. Their milk is next
to mothers milk in value for infants,
and children brought up on 1T will not
develop scrofulous glands or tubercu-
losis. 1t gives a constitution to the
child which cannot be obtained from
cows milk. There is a sharp market

produced. The Angora industry is not
a Belgian hare fad, but it has been a
growing industry for more than twen-
ty-hve years in this country.
Now, by an Angora l mean an An
CORA, not a half breed, so often called
an Angora. Good Angoras pay low
grades do not pay as we'll. 1t costs
no more to watch a good goat grow
into money than it does to watch a
poor one eat the same feed and not
grow into money. There is just dou-
BILE the money in good Angoras on the
range, so both can be run together
with more than double profit. Snow
falls do not in any way interfere with
the goats prosperity. for their feed
is still above the snow, and If the
snow does not get above the trees the
goat keeps on eating as the snow goes
up.
In case of heavy storms the Angora.
will always be found under shelter even
before the storm comes, provided a
shelter is furnished them. They will
often run miles to get in before it
rains. while sheep will drift before
storm and then lie down and smother,
or starve as soon as the ground is
covered with snow. 1t is much the
same with cattle; a foot of snow, if it
remains, will soon discourage the best
ruStlerS among them, while the goat
will skip about on the rocks, nipping
the twlgs, and defy the cold. The An
CORA does equally well in severe cold
climates or in warm countries

1t retrogrades with the greatest facil-
ity under adverse conditions.
If farmer begins to half cultivate
his land rice will respond so readily
that it gives him about one-third of a
crop. Rice will Guido the planter ev-
cry time. If he does everything in
the best way, rice surprises him with
a bumper crop; if he does his farm
ing so he can never look his fields
squarely in the face, but calls atten-
ton to his neighbours farm while pass
ing his own, the rice crop in the fall
will astonish him on the wrong side
of the ledger. The rice farmers of
Bengal, India, claim that it will not do
to successfully use the rice produced
upon a field to reseed it, even claim
ing that il will degenerate in two sea-
sons. Change of seed is therefore one
of the conditions for vigor in the crop.
This does not refer to importation
of seed, but to the securing of seed
grown at some distance and under diff
ferent conditions.
All the possibilities of a plant are
stored in the seed. Seed should there
fore be selected from the best variety
of rice, and from the best plants in
that field. I am confident that better
seed will yet be produced in America
than in any other portion of the
world This will be done as soon as
we devote our best intelligence and
energy to the accomplishment of this
object.
One thing should be especially noted
in rice-the readiness with which it
responds to humus in the soil The
turning under of crop of cowpeas
has been known to double a crop of
rice following. In Egypt they pro-
duce on the rice lands a winter crop
of a peculiar clover called Berseem,
which grows luxuriantly and is plowed
under in the spring. In some sections
of India sun hemp is raised for
green manure. This legume grows
with great rapidity and vigor. 1t can
successfully follow early rice and yield
a large crop for blowing under before
frost. Turning out rice fields, when
foul, for summer fallow is a poor
makeshft, but it is better than moth
ing. The United States Department
of Agriculture has imported a guam
tity of Berseem, and will give it
test on the rice fields this winter. If
it grows as vigorously here as in
Egypt, an effort will be made to in
troduce it generally

vegetables, which are expected to prove
useful in this country, If the people
can be persuaded to grow them, says
the Saturday Evening Post. It's ex-
plorers are fetching them from various
parts of the world, especially from
Mexico, which is known to possess
many food plants that would be of
much value if introduced into the
United States.
Among the available Mexican vege-
tables are various kinds of peppers and
several species Of tomatoes, which are
unknown to us. For example, there is
the "husk tomato" which is about the
size of horse chestnut, and is con-
tanned in a sort of detachable rind that
is removed when the fruit is ripe, as
preliminary to cooking 1t. 1t is not
good raw, but is said to be excellent
when stewed or fried. The Mexicans
preserve it as a sweet pickle.
Then there is a brand new kind of
cucumber. which is quite an oddly in
its way, inasmuch as it exp1odes with
a loud report when ripe, throwing its
red seeds to a distance. Its chief use
is as a medicine. but the vine on which
1t grows is so handsome as to be de-
sirable for gardens. More valuable is
a giant okra, obtained from Europe,
which has pods five or six times the
ordinary size. Soon, doubtless, il will
be commonly grown in this country,
and will be obtainable in our markets
1t has a delightful flavor
Another European vegetable which
Uncle Sam wants to introduce is the
tuber of a plant that looks a good deal
like a marsh grass 1t is only about
as big as hazel nut and when eaten
raw resembles a cocoanut in flavor
This is called "chervil" and NAV be
cooked in a variety of ways. The plant
is a kind of sedge.
Special attention is being paid to the
cultivation of new pot herbs on the ex.
pertinent farm which the government
maintains near Washington, and the
seeds of the best of these, when a suffi-
Gent supply has been obtained, will
be distributed to farmers and garden
ers. Notable among them is a plant
from India called 'baselia." which
bears fruit that looks like little black
berries. 1t is a vine, has pink bios
SONS resembling those of the arbutus
and is said to be delicious
1t is always difficult to persuade peo-
pie to eat new things a fact Of which
the common tomato. which a genera
ton ago was considered poisonous In
New England. affords a familiar illus
tration. Nevertheless every new vege-
table Is an important addition TO our
happiness and welfare and even
novelty in the way of a pot herb Is a
contribution not TO be despised by those
who appreciate a well-hdvored plate
oi soup or dish Of stew.

A Kntydid's Ingenuity.
From Nature.

During the last summer an intimate
friend of the writer observed a pc
culiar case analogous to the Irishmans
splitting on his hand for a fresh hold. :"
An ordinary katydid, in trying to
climb along the Stats of a window blind
that were very smooth owing to the
glazed surface of the paint, kept slid
ing on the smooth surface. 1t would
raise one front leg and then the other.
bringing the foot or claw to its mouth,
and there wet it with the "molasses"
which exuded from the creatures crop.
Is this one of the practical uses made
by the locust family of this sticky fluid
to enable it to walk upon very smooth
surfaces? If so, the writer has never
had it brought to his notice before.

Cholera and Dfarrhoea Remedy.

Mr.. G. w. Fowler of Hightower,
Ala, relates an experience he had
while serving on a petit jury in
murder case at Edwardsville, county
seat of Clebourne county, Ala. He
says: While there 1 ate some fresh
meat and souse meat and II gave me
cholera morbus in a very severe FORM
l was never more sick in my life, and
sent to the drug store for certain
cholera mixture. but the druggist sent
me a bottle of Chamberlain Colic
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in
stead, saying that he had what 1 sent
for but that this medicine was so
much better he would rather send 1t to
me in the fix I was in. / took one
dose of it and was better in five min
utes. The second dose cured me en-
tirely. Two fellow jurors were affiict-
ed in the same manner and one TWEEN
ty-tive cent bottle cured the three of
us and there was still some left in the
bottle. 1t is certainly the finest bowel
remedy l have ever seen in my life,
and l never want to be without it
again." For sale by all druggists.

AGAINST TOBACCO TRUST.
Tobacco Planters of south Carolina
Take Action.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. Ito offset
the tobacco trust, which it is stated
is responsible for the almost ruinous
price now received by the tobacco
growers of South Carolina, the citizens
of Florence county held mass meet
ing yesterday, in which they declared
war on the tobacco trust. After per-
fecting permanent organization, these
resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That we will not pur-
chase any manufactured tobacco or CT
gars put on the market by the tobacco
trust; or any other goods manufactured
by independent concerns can be pur-
chased instead regardless of any drop
in price on the part of the trusts
Second. That the chairman of this
organization appoint a committee of
three to visit all the merchants of
Florence to urge on them not to pur-
chase or sell any trust-manufactured
tobacco or other trust goods where
others can be purchased.
Third. That the chairman appoint
a committee of three to prepare a
complete list of all tobacco products
manufactured by the trusts and that
this list be given to the press.
Fourth. That the chair appoint a
committee of three in each township
in this organization.
Fifth. That this meeting urge on
all other communities to perfect or
CARNATIONS looking to cooperation
with us on these lines.
Sixth. That a committee be APP
pointed by the chair to confer with
the merchants of Florence looking to
make arrangements to procure the
sale of oil from independent COM
panies."
A Sensational Seizure.
A rather sensational seizure of con-
traband liquor was made by dispen-
sary constables yesterday, near Rid
dies Mill, York county, about a mile
from the North Carolina state line
Finding contables in hot pursuit of
them. a white man and a negro car
rying ITO gallons of liquor in a wagon
drawn by two mules, and unable to
escape with their load rolled it down
an embankment by the roadside. De-
layed in unhitching their team, they
cut the hamestrings, mounted the
mules, and made their escape The
wagon and it's contents were recover
ed, and taken to the Yorkville Jail. 1t
is probable the United States author
tiles will take the liquor.
