form and a moderate amount Of nitro
gen. I would then put in stiff, steady
team and n good, strong plow and
break it. up thoroughly to the depth
Of four or five inches. I would have q
man follow the plow with n good, sharp
AK and give Il smooth cut to all large
roots that were broken. The trees
themselves I should prune in n moder
att way. 10 reckless cutting and slash
ing. should wet tho bodies and larger
limbs and scrnpe them thoroughly If
they were covered with rough bark
that could be thus got of.
..' Spring ,nnd Summer Care.
Some time in March should spray
the trees either with strong potash wa
ter or sulphate Of copper wash; later,
rs the buds were swelling, good
spraying Of bordeaux and probably an
other bordeaux spraying with some ar
senical poison mixture along In May or
early June. Assuming that the plowing
has all been done In April, and the ear
lier tho better, I should give thorough
culture through May, June and July
with most approved implements at
hand. A spring tooth harrow would
serve the purpose best. A good lining
Of the land or liberal dressing Of
hardwood ashes along the last Of July
and then seeding the whole to clover
would be my way Of finishing up the
season.
The Winter Treatment.
The following winter I should give
whatever further pruning seemed desir
able and spray according to apparent
needs; Il little fertilizer In the spring If
my pocketbook would stand IT, and then
start the harrows the minute frost and
mud would admit and keep up the cul-
tivntion same as before. BY the second
year the orchard ought to begin to feel
and show the results Of such treatment
and perhaps to do some business OH it's
own account. Further annual treatment
would continue along about the same
lines, provided of course the results
were such as to warrant 1t. Breaking
and tearing as many roots as would be
likely in this first plowing up would
be great shocIe to the trees and prob
ably force n strong development Of
fruit buds the first year Of cultivation,
and so should reasonably expect
fine crop Of apples the second year. but
st Is one thing to expect results from
all orchard and another to get them.
"A forty acre apple orchard rightly han
died Is worth n lot Of money and ought
to pay all the bills and leave n splendid
profit Oh top Of 1t. I am Il believer in
culture and have mighty little sympa-
thy with the general orchnrdists who
expect TO get success in any other way.

IILIBUSTEnING N HOUSE
Democrats Garry Out Their Threat
to Block Legislation.
ANOTHER STORMY SESSION

Two Special Rules Were Passed to
Expedite Appropriation Bills and
Four Measures Were Sent to Con-
ference.
Washington. Feb. 2S-The Demo-
Gratis of the house yesterday carried
ont their threat made Thursday that
II Mr. Butler was unseated they would
do everything in their power TO block
legislation from now until congress
expires March 4 The result was an
other stormy session. prolonged from
II o'clock yesterday morning until al
most Z o'clock last evening Roll call
succeeded roll call and at every pause
party passion manifested itself in bit
ter and acrimonious denunciation.
Two special rules were brought in to
expedite appropriation bills and to
continue the legislative day OF Thurs
day in order 10 reduce as much as pos
sible the minority's power TO obstruct
legislation During the debate on the
rule the Democrats voiced their con-
demnation Of what they denominated
Thursday as the outrageous action of
the chair. The Republicans declared
that iagy were willing to assume the
responsibility for what they had done
and explained the necessity for the
drastic rules presented yesterday, Mr.
Dalzell saying that unless this course
was pursued the Democrats would con-
sumo 1871 hours. or y legislative days
on roll calls on the senate amendments
to the appropriation bills.
ii was agreed or both sides that the
present situation sounded the death
knell of practically everything except
The appropriation bills. The friends of
the omnibus public building bill, who
Thursday were threatening TO defeat
the rules if they were not modified to
include their measure, We're placated
| by a promise. which il was understood
was given. that their bill would be COW
cred by n special rule TO be brought in
later
Even with the special rules In opera
ton getting appropriation bills into

process. an eight-hour session and l3
! roll calls being necessary to get the
agricultural. sundry civil. and military
academy and post-oftice appropriation
bills into conference and to adopt the
conference report on the Indian appro-
priation bill. All overtures from the
Republican side to induce the Demo-
Gratis to abandon their filibustering
have been fruitless, and there is every
Indication that they will continue
their present tactics to the end OF the
session.

MORGAN WILL NOT YIELD
Efforts to Fix Time For Vote On Canal
Treaty Failed.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-A determined
effort on the part of Senator Cullom
to obtain Senator Morgan's consent to
tx a time for voting on the Panama
canal treaty was made while the sem
ate was in executive session yesterday
and was met by just as determined op-
position on the part .of the Alabama
senator. In making the request Sen
ator Cullom said that the United
States had been trying for so years to
get a canal across the isthmus, and he
appealed to Senator Morgan not TO
stand in the way of the consummation
Of this aspiration. He then asked for
q vote to-day. then for vote Monday,
and lastly for vote Tuesday. but each
request was refused.
Most senators believe that the re-
fusal to fix time for vote means
that the treaty cannot be ratified be-
fore the close Of the present session.

as follows:

Co. and OF the Buffalo Envelope Com
pany. was murdered early yesterday
at his home on Ashland avenue, in one

ity. The theory az first advanced
hat the crime was the work of a
Jurglar-was abandoned as the police
0robed deeper into the case, and while
they claim 10 have several important
clues. no arrest has been made.
AR. Burdick was last seen alive on
Thursday night at 1890. when he babe
the other members of the household
good night and started for his room.
apparently with the intention of re-
urlnS Tor the night. Yesterday morn
ing his body. clad In an undershirt.
was found lying on couch in a small
room Off the lower hall, used by Bur
dick as a smoking room The body
was covered with rug and a number
Of sofa pillows. The couch was sat
urated with blood, and the walls and
floor of the little den were despatched
with brains and blood. The head had
been crushed with some blunt instru-
ment.
Some interesting discoveries were
made in other parts of the house. To
begin with. no weapon could be found
anywhere. The body was clad only in
an undcrshirt. At the foot of the
couch were found the drawers and
stockings. The trousers and other ar
tcles of clothing which Mr. BurdiclS
had worn were in his bedroom on the
floor above. The bed had not been
occupied. On the table in the smol-
ing room the detectives found a bot.
tie partly filled with whiskey and the
remains of light lunch. Members of
the family declare that Mr.. Burdick
never partook OF the food OF which
the lunch was composed. and never
drank liquor while eating.
In this connection Chief Cusacl,
gave out the following statement:
From what investigation have made
l would conclude that Mr.. Burdick
was called down stairs by ring or a
knock at the door after he was ready
for bed. for he was clad only IN his
underciothing. He evidently admitted
some one he knew well and took the
visitor into the den for a talk, and
then partake OF the luncheon found
there. There are some signs of a
struggle. The fact that two of the
fingers Of Mr.. Burdick's LEFT hand were
broken indicates that he put up his
hand 20 ward off blow which he saw
coming. The force with which the
blows that killed Mr.. Burdick were
delivered seems to preclude the posi-
bility that a woman delivered them"
Mrs. Burdick. the murdered mans
wife, left home two months ago, with
the intention, it is said, of not return
ing. On December 5 proceedings for
divorce were filed in the county clerk
Office by Mr.. Burdick. Ii is under
stood that Mrs Burdick went TO At
lanuc City. What connection Bur
/ dicks domestic trouble may have he'd
with the crime the police do not pre-
sumo to say.
