Fall PLANTING of Fruit Trees.

We often hear both fall and spring
planting advocated by good authorities
but let us once refer to common sense in
regard TO the matter. A tree when it has
finished its growth in the fall is per-
fectly dormant and there is no sap move
ment, but on the contrary in the spring
as soon as the frost is out, and even be-
fore, there is more or less movement to
the sap. We can notice il in the forest
trees and in most of our fruit trees, that
as soon as the frost commences to draw
In the spring the buds commence
to swell which would not occur without
sap movement.
1t is the general and even universal
practice of nurserymen to dig their trees
in the fall, as they can be graded and
invoiced and the exact number of each
variety known before the selling season
is finished. They are then taken and
either ricked in frost proof cellars or
heeled in in the ground for winter. They
can as easily be taken 10y the planter and
heeled in as by the nurseryman, and by
doing this the trees are moved at time
when exposure is of the least detriment
and the trees receive but little injury by
the moving.
In the case of all trees that are suf-
ficiently rugged to withstand our winters
it is better to set them where they are
TO remain in the orchard, as the earth
will then get well firmed around the
roots and as soon as the sap starts the
trees are growing and no time is lost by
checking the sap which cannot be avoid
ed in the spring
Apple, pear, plum and cherry should
always be fall planted, and nine years
out of 10 it will pay to set peach in the
fall, but there is a certain percentage of
risk in the fall setting of peach, as when
the winter is severe the injury to the
trees will be great enough to Offset the
advantage of getting the full seasons
growth. Then, again, very severe win
ter is likely to kill them outright, as
they are usually grown under high cul-
ture in the nursery and are not as solid
wooded as trees that have stood year
in the orchard and not having root
hold of the ground cannot stand as much
hardship. Personally we would take
the risk of fall planting on peach as
the percentage of loss is not great enough
to offset the advantage gained in the
first seasons growth,
Should the planter not deem it proper
to set in the fall or the ground not being
in shape, by all means get the trees
home and heel in, digging trench about
four feet wide, slanting about 40 degrees
to the north and so as to leave the sloping
bank deep enough to admit about a
third of the trunk of the tree that is,
a third of the distance between the bud
and the branches,-lay the trees to the
north on the sloping bank, with the

Property FOUND on Criminals.

"The question as TO what final dis
position is made of money and jewelry
found in the possession Of criminals
was frequently asked me when l was
on the force two years ago, said an
eX-captain Of the New York police
force. "As a rule, everything found
upon an arrested criminal which obvi-
ously is not his lawful property is held
in trust, as it were, by the police for
possible claimants. If no claimants
turn up the property is returned TO the
criminal on being released from his
term of Imprisonment, provided the
commissioner of police is perfectly sat
isfed that the property actually does
belong to him.
'If the commissioner has reasons TO
think otherwise. however. the articles,
often valuable are held indefinitely or
until it is certain that they will never
be claimed by their rightfu owners,
when the stuff is finally disposed Of
and the proceeds handed over to bene-
fit one or another Of the various police
funds.
There are certain things. however,
which the police never return TO those
on whom they have been found, such
rs burglariZing tools, firearms, gam
bling devices. begging letters-any-
thing. in fact. that might be used by
criminals again in their nefarious oc-
cupations"
