TOP WORKING.

We are conducting quite varied ex-
pertinent in the top grating of apple,
plum and cherry trees, 1t being under
stood that this is being done in lati-
tude where only the very hardest Of
these varieties of fruit will live. We
are using the Duchess, Hibernal, Brier
Sweet and Virginia crab for trunks
for the apples, putting on them
Grimes Golden, Fameuse, Seek No
Further, Jonathan and several other Of
the half hardy varieties of choice APP
pies. In cherries the Morello is doing
well top worked on Wragg trunk. The
experiments in plums bid fair to be a
failure so far as top working the
Domestica or European types on ma
tive stock is concerned, the graft so far
outgrowing the trunk that the new
growth is sure to be broken down by
the wind. The apple experiment bids
fair to be a success, the union being
good and the trees very healthy. The
top working was done when the trees
were two years old, the top being cut
Off and a single graft inserted. The
working Of old trees FIVE or eight years
old is too big job.

BAR PASSES RESOLUTIONS.
Court Adjourns to Honor Late A. Y

Court Adjourns to Honor Late A. w.
Johnson.
District court adjourned for time
yesterday for the members of the
Ottumwa bar and the presiding judge
to pass resolutions of respect and
coincidence to the memory of the late
A. w. johnson, who was a member of
the bar. Before the resolutions were
passed, each Of the older attorneys of
the city made few short remarks of
regret and sympathy. The resolutions
follow:
"Soon after A. w. Johnson arrived
in Iowa, in 1878. he was admitted to
as a member Of the Ottumwa
bar. While he did not remain in the
active practice of law very long, he
remained long enough for us all to
keen, active and we'll trained mind not
only grasped the theories and prin-
ciples of the law, but that he was able
to appreciate it's fine distinctions and
clearly apply it to the many and COM
plicated tangles of facts that constant
ly arise and are presented to the prac-
ticing lawyer to unravel. But his SUI
perb mental qualifications only kept
pace with that other absolute qualifi-
cation which is necessary for all sue
cessful lawyers to possess. the moral
qualifications.
"a. w. Johnson was -eminently
an honest man. fair man, true man
under all circumstances. He abhorred
fraud, deception and chicanery. He
was most genial, courteous and just
to all. He was kind and warn-heart-
ed. To know him was to esteem, re-
spect and admire him.
Wherefore be it resolved. That in
the death of A. W. johnson the Ottum-
wa legal fraternity has lost one OF
its honored and esteemed members,
one whose memory will ever be priced
and cherished both for his mental and
moral worth. Resolved, further, that
we extend to his bereayed widow and
sisters out heartfelt coincidence and
sympathy for the loss OF the wife's
husband and the sisters brother, our
ever esteemed friend.
"And be it further resolved that a
copy of these resolutions be spread or
the records OF the district court Of
Wapello county. Iowa, that a copy OF
them be given to his bereaved widow
and copy furnished to each Of the
daily papers for publication.

PAT AND THE RAILWAY COMPANY.

PAT AND THE RAILWAY COMPANY.
A poor man, son Of Erin, who after
a long and hard pull had managed to
acquire the ownership Of a small farm
Of seventy acres in western state Of
poor and Indifferent quality Of soil and
contour, was recently approached by
the right Of way agent of a railroad
company which wished to split his lit
tie farm in two with new line Of
road. Pat begged and protested; did
not want to sell the right of way; want
ed to have them go round his place.
Being unable to buy the right of way,
the land was condemned by process of
law, and Pat had to take $1,000 and
see his farm split in two pieces. Curl
ously enough, when the road was built
1t involved deep cut through Pats
land, when splendid quarry Of stone
was unearthed. the existence of which
Pat never dreamed Of, and he was able
to make long time lease Of the quarry
to stone company at the handsome
rent of $500 per year. Thus does
Dame Fortune sometimes convert our
seeming misfortunes into blessings.

\ JusTrF1Ep KICK.

Here is o complaint and one which Is
well made from farmer friend. lie
says that when farmers hire town me-
chanics to build house or barn for
them there seems to be some sort of al
unwritten law which requires the
farmer to pay the mechanics their reg
ular town wages and in addition fur
nish them first class farm board. He
says that in rebuilding his house the
past summer his wife cooked no less
than $50 meals for the mechanics en-
ployed. Near him another gang of
town mechanics had contract job and
had to drive FIVE miles to and from
work and board themselves. He fur
Their says that the man to whom he
sold his apples sent gang Of men to
pick them, and thirteen men and boys
had to be furnished dinner, and yet
when he goes to trade in town with
this same man an invitation to dinner
is never expected. He thinks this sort
of sponging on the good nature and
hospitality Of the farmer is carried too
far and that where an overworked wife
is compelled to feed the crowd of town
workmen reasonable charge-he says
10 cents-should be deducted from the
daily wage Of each man so fed, and we
believe he Is about right. Some folks
think that good food costs nothing on
the farm. Keep up your kick, brother.

PURE FOOD LAWS.

Minnesota has for years been waging
a war on all adulterated food products,
having now the most effective and
stringent laws on this subject of any
western state. When you buy food
product in manufactured state at any
store in Minnesota you will find 1t la.
beled with the formula Of its compost
ton, and II adulterated It will be 80
branded. The result is that one can
buy pure vinegar, spices, oils, maple
sugar and sirups, honey, coffee and a
score Of other commodities and actually
know he is getting what he buys. It is
disgrace that other states In other
lines equally as progressive as Mime
sofa should have no trace of pure
food law upon their statute books.

rEcLA1M1NG THE PEAT MARSH.

EECLAIMING THE PEAT MARSH.
We have an inquiry as how best
TO reclaim peat marsh. 1t is at best
somewhat slow process. The first
step Is thorough drainage. The next
best step is to pasture it for two or
three years to compact the spongy sur
face and assist the natural process Of
decay of the fbrous roots. which be-
gins just as soon as the water is re-
moved. 1t took about five years under
this kind Of treatment to subdue a
marsh Of this sort we once reclaimed.
At the end of that time it was possible
to pillow 1t and get it into shape for a
crop, fax being the best first crop.
These peat marshes, notwithstanding
the rich appearance of the soil, are de-
f1cient in nitrogen, and the best results
will be obtained by giving them a
heavy coat of barnyard manure. In
some places the fbrous turf is cut as
soon as the marsh is drained and first
dried and then burned, but this method
is too expensive and really wasteful,
as the decomposed turf is worth far
more to the soil than the ashes. After
few years the soil becomes tanned
and productive and quite frequently
the choicest land on the farm. Corn
will almost always fail on such land
when first reclaimed, and no crops will
do better than potatoes and timothy.
