BIRDS AND GRAPE GROWERS.

In report on the trade aud com
meree of Bordeaux, France, British
Consul lIearn refers TO the evil of de.
stroying birds. lie says:
g A most important matter is that

vines and grapes. to kill which chem.
icals are used which are certainly. not
conducive to improving The vines or

are largely due 70 the absence of bird

how small, that can live out season

Every bird, from tit upwards in
size, Is stalked, potted and devoured

bly, owns either foyling piece or a
military rifle converted to carry shot
cartridges, so that as soon MS the
shooting season commences every
bird that dies finds itself hunted from
one row Of vines to another. The
song OF the thrush and blackbird IL
hardly ever heard In the vine district

French advocate OF bird protection,
which, il only half correct, shows the
stupendous folly of destroying the

THE IDEAL FRUIT TREE.

/ Frank Horsfal of the Missouri Fruit
Experiment Station. in a discussion
of the various problems relating to
pruning and caring for peach trees,
gives such an excellent elaracteriza-
/ tion of the ideal tree that it is wort
while to give a portion of it here,
even at the risk of being cut of sea
sou. Especially is IL 10 be under
stood that the primer must know
what kind of tree be wishes to have.
As the architect must have picture
of the completed building in his
mind before he can draw his plans,
so must the competent pruner have n
picture of his tree In mind before he
touches IL with knife. The ideal
tree cannot be secured until the ideal
is in the mind Of the man who
prunes.
'9The primer should form in his
mind an ideal tree that possesses all
the requisites for perfect peach
tree. lie must try to make each of
his trees conform to this ideal as
nearly as circumstances will permit,
but he should constantly keep in
mind the two objects for which he is
pruning. The ideal tree should be
headed low, not above twelve or fif.
teen inches. This low head enables
the tree to Withstand the wind and TO
support It's crop far better than IL
could with long Trunk. The gather
/ ing Of the fIuit from low headed
tree Is much less expensive and mere
conveniently done than it is from a
high tree. The ideal tree should not
fork is necessary.it should be spread
/ ing or obtuse The reason for this is
apparent to any one who has observed
how a tree grows when it is forked.
When the fork is sharp, the bark is
caught between the two growing
branches, thus the two thicknesses of
bark are pressed together and prevent
the branches from uniting as they
should This weakens the fork and
makes it more easily split by the
wind or a heavy load of fruit. On
the other hand, the wide spreading
fork allows the growing tissue be
tween the branches to make strong
union.
"ln the ideal tree, there should be
no branhces that interfere with each
other Each branch should have the
greatest amount of light possible, but
there should be no vacant spaces
when the tree is IN full leaf. The
trunk Of the tree should be well shad-
ed, and the top should be well bal
naced; that il, the trunk should be
in the center with the limbs of equal
length on all sides.
at must be kept in mind that, to
enable the tree to support It's load Of
fruit, the branches must be short and
stocky Long, slim branches are too
weak to sustain the crop, and they
bend down or break. This condition
can be seen in any old, unpruned
peach orchard. Strong, stocky limbs,
therefore, are one requisite of the
! ideal tree -

INDIAN DANCE AT PINE RIDGE.
How Ernest Thompson Seton Had to
PAY to Gel Out of 1t.

Ernest Thompson Seton gives in the
New York Tribune an interesting ac-
count of the Omaha dance at Pine
Ridge last July:
ITO open the ceremonies he said,
"sIx dogs were killed. These dogs
were boiled in six wash boilers, and
then refreshments were handed
around.
ITS of no use to describe the dance,
because an Indian dance has to be
seen; but In a lull young fellow came
In and danced alone. He gave the
most wonderful exhibition OF all the
dance steps, known to humanity appa-
rently, that could be imagined. 1t

a correspondent asks the Maine

In reply tho following suggestions

Tho ideal treatment for .rnspber.

back at intervals during tho summer,
and thus secure strong, sturdy bushes

with laterals ole to one aud one. half

however, as Is frequently the case
even in the best managed gardens,
the plants are at ibis season making
vigorous growth which may not ma.
ture, they should at once be cut back
to the desired height and the canes
will harden before cold weather
Many prefer TO ent back the bushes
in the spring. Thinning the canes,
which should always be praeticed,
may be done at airy time during the
season. In general one. half, or more.

better results are usually obtained
from spring planting. Currants, ON

REBUKES THE CLERK.
Vice Chancellor Says Things
About Assistant clerk in
Chancery Dicinson.

Vice-Chancellor Pitney paused in a
suit he was trying long enough to once
more jump on Assistant Clerk in Chan
cery Dickinson. J. Herbert Potts, Of
this city, as counsel for Aaron Appleton
and William NJ. Bennett, fled bill in
chancery against the American Mailing
Company, million dollar concern; Ran
dolph Rodman, Grant B. Schley, broth
er of the Admiral, and others. The bill
alleged that certain of the directors of
the company had, in violation of the cor
poration laws of New Jersey. under which
the company was Incorporated, paid un-
lawful dividends out of unearned money.
These unlawful dividends, its is charged,
from October IL, 1897, to October 5,
1899, amounted to s1,S55,350, while the
earnings, without charging off anything
for depreciation, did not exceed $700, 900.
The bill prayed that the directors, during
that time, should be ordered to pay back
to the company the amount so paid in
dividends
Randolph, Rodman, Schley and the
company filed demurrers, which, after
being argued, were sustained BY Vice
Chancellor Pitney in lengthy decision.
The complainants appealed, and Chief
Justice Gummere, for the Court of Err
rors and Appeals, rendered an opinion or
dering that the decree of Vice Chancellor
Pitney be in all things reversed.
Mr. Charles Corbin, who appeared for
| the defendants, asked the Vice-C -Chancel-
| lor today for leave to amend the decree,
so that he could plead to the bill. He
| claimed the right to do so under decis-
| ion ON 12 Stewart. He said that counsel
on the other side had agreed to his being
allowed to plead, and the consent had
been included in the decree, but Mr..
