Was 1t Bill Smith?

Last Saturday evening the at
tention of the officers of Douglas
was attracted by a suspicious char
acter, and two of the best men Of
the town went out to arrest him.
They approached him and asked
him to throw up his hands. lie
complied, but as the officers, Tom
Vaughn and Dayton Graham, ap-
preached to disarm him, he sud-
denly drew his revolver and shot
both officers, instantly killing Mr..
Vaughn and seriously wounding
Mr.. Graham. The outlaw then ran
away, but in his flight stumbled
and dropped his hat, which was
later identified as Smiths hat. The
two men who were shot were we'll
known as two OF the bravest and
best officers of southern Arizona,
and many expressions OF regret have
been heard for this sad occurrence.
P. B. Warnekros has offered re-
ward for the murderer ofhis son-in-
law, Tom Vaughn, and the friends
of the dead man have supplement-
ed this by rewards aggregating
5000. From descriptions, it would
not surprise us if this should prove
to be the famous Bill Smith who
killed Ranger Tafoya and William
Maxwell in q fight on Black river
about year and half ago. If so,
the only way to capture him is to
shoot him down and then ask him
to surrender.

THE GARDEN IN SPRING.

Get the pruning shears, saws and

time to use them.
Get ready for work in the orchards.
Use saw, not an AK, to take off

If your orchard is still in sod, don't

some manure about them at once.
Look out for rabbits. They are
hard on young orchards just now

three and a half bushels of apples
from Northern Spy trees only six
years old grown in sod where the
ground is rich and 1.-The moisture never
gets below a full supply and strong
fruit buds show up for next year.
The secret of success in shipping
pears long distances is to carefully
select, wrap and pack in good shape
and keep in cold storage from the
time they come off the trees till they
are ready for sale. Small packages
are best so the fruit can cool off in

DEPTH OF PLANTING.
Does 1t Affect the Bearing Qualities
of Fruit Trees, as So Many
IN Growers Believer

g-,F
The statement has been. made by
some fruit growers that fruit trees
which are, planted deep (deep enough
so that roots may be formed above
the graft) are heavier bearers than
trees which depend upon the roots
on which they have been grated.
We fail to grasp the theory of this
method, as has been expressed, says
the Inland Farmer. We have no ex-
perience in this line, and cannot give
any practical results which have
been derived from deep or shallow,
planting.
The heavy bearing quality may be
influenced in two different ways by
the above method, first, by the graft
forming roots and thereby nourish
ing the tree by roots of it's own
kind, or, in other words, by roots
which are more in harmony with
the tree itself, it may supply food
ingredients which other roots are
not able to gather, and in this way
the tree becomes stronger and pro-
duces more fruit. |.. -: -
The other theory which we draw
from the argument is: A tree which
is planted deep is more able to with
stand drought, cold and the other
elements, and in this way the pro-
duction is increased, We shall make
a number of trial paintings this year,
and give this method thorough test;
We would like to hear from fruit
growers who have made observations
along this line '.>|''<@ -

Vantages of such a window garden

REVIVING YOUNG TREES.
A Hint from Australia Which Mirht
Be Tried with Success in the
United States.

When young trees have been out
Of the ground few days, either LII
transit from the nursery or other
wise, and not properly cared for, the
lark becomes shrunken; and al
though the roots may be in tolerabiy
good condition, there is great danger
that the tree may die after it is
planted. This may be prevented by
burying the trees wholly for few
days. TO do this, dig trench as
wide as the tree is high, and about
eight inches deep at one end and 16
inches deep at the other, and long.
enough to hold all the trees to be
buried, when laid in the trench, five
or six trees on the top of one an
other. Place the trees in the trench
with the roots at the deep end of
it, laying them straight and packing
them closely together. But do not
pile them up above the level of the
ground. Now cover the trees, tops
and roots with IL inchs to Is inches
.of earth. If the ground be very dry,
"a few buckets of water should be
SLOWLY sprinkled over the soil after
the trees are buried. In four or
five days they must be taken out, and
transplanted Immediately; care be-
ing taken to cut back the tops. We
have known trees thus buried when
taken from the pit to look as fresh
as when dug at the nursery.-Aus-

wELL-ARRANGED GREENHOUSE.


~of posts set on two by four inch
hemlock sills. These posts are sawed
off to give the roof a pitch of about
20 degrees, or a drop of two feet for
each six-foot sash.
Plates are nailed on each row of
posts and gutter boards wide enough
to cover the top of each wall. The
ssashes of the roof are fastened to the
plates by screw bolts, and the joints
and peak covered by painted canvas,
or roofing paper. Every third sash
of the middle row serves as a venti-
lator, by being hinged at the top end.

with building paper between, and an
occasional hole is sawed out to fa-
"cilitate the handling of soil. manure.
etc. The front wall is simply wide
two-inch plank spiked to the posts
and banked with earth.
The piping is according to the "up-
hilT' system. The flow pipe rises
from the top of the boiler on grade
of one inch in 12 feet to the farther
end, then across the house, and back
ITO the first end. This is the highest
point, and has an air escape. From
here the pipe returns on the same
level as the flow, until within six
inches, where it drops to enter the
sbottom of the boiler. This, insures
proper circulation of the water.
8 Just before entering the boiler, the
return pipe is connected by small
pipe. with an extension tank over
head, by which the pipes are kept
continually full of water.-=-

q ThA style of greenhouse is of par
tticular advantage to any one on rent
:ed land. as it can be easily removed.
Many growers take off the sashes
every summer. When I build again,
I expect to make the following i'm
provenents: Glass in the front wall,
IS to 80 inches in height to catch the
morning sun, posts of small pipe. be-
cause they take less space and cast
less shade and possibly wider

Preparing Soil for orcnard..

Many an apple orchard proves to
lie a failure because it is put on land
without the. ground being put into
Il suitable state of preparation to
bear an orchard. Drainage is one of
the first requisites for successful
orcharding. This is especially true
on heavy clays. It is an error to
suppose that hillsides do not need
drainage. We have known gradual
slopes that required drainage to per-
nit the water Ito drain away from
the roots of the trees in a reason
able time after a heavy rain. Some
soils are Of such texture that the

Change Of Garden Location.

It may be an advantage to change
the garden location every two years

son is that as the garden soil is sub

The main feature of the afternoon
session was the presentation and ac-
ceptance of the design for the memo
rial to President Jefferson Davis by
the sculptor, Edward V. Valentine Of
Richmond, Va. 1t is to be erected
at Richmond, at a cost of $40, 900, $62,
600 of which is already in hand. The
memorial will consist of a stone semi
circular collonade, with thirteen col
umns, including the eleven states
which seeded, and Missouri and Ken
lucky, which were represented in the
Confederate Congress. Facing the
collonade will be a bronze statue of
Mr.. Davis and within the collonade will
be a granite column. fifty feet high,
surmounted by an allegorical bronze
statue of a woman, with the inscrip-
ton from the Confederate seal, Dec
Vindice.
The delegates were entertained by
the Colonial Danes, the Sons of Vete-
rams and by the Memorial Association,
this unique reception being given at
