following questions which were answered
by Professor w. NJ. Munson as below:
"Csn sweet apple trees be successfully
grated? WIZ 1t pay TO re-top large sw, ct
apple tree, TO { or more 10 diameter? Should
au orchard OF 100 trees be all of one Variety"
IL is very doubtful II the flavor of the fruit
has any relation to the value of given tree for
purposes Of grating. Tolman Sweet is often
used as basis for top-working.
apple trees up to foot IN diameter may be
top-worked II unsatisfactory. Care, however,
should be used that too much of the top is not
removed In any one year. Cut OF about one
third of the top the frat year and insert cions
on stubs not more than two or three inches In
diameter. The next year remove more of the
top and insert other eions, and the following
year complete the work.
1t Is not advisable TO plant a solid block of leo
trees of one variety unless there are other trees
In the immediate vicinity. Some varieties are
selt fertile and will give satisfactory results II
planted alone; but 1t is always safer to provide
for cross fertilization In large orchards every
third or fourth row should be of different
variety. Two or three varieties are enough for
a commercial orchard, however. and it is seldom
advisable to plant more.

ATTEMPT TO DYNAMITE.
Union President Under Arrest-Men
Armed with Rides.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 23.-The gravest
fears are entertained of a clash at the
Eureka brass and iron foundry in
Newport Ky. The Cincinnati Found
ers' association armed all the nonun-
ion employees there with repeating
rifles before the men quit work last
night. Just previous TO this procedure
the Cincinnati underwriters notified
the company that its policies would be
Immediately Cancelled unless better ar
engagements were made TO protect the
plant.
Dynamite was found in a mold at
the Eureka foundry. Soon afterward
warrants were issued for Fred Rau-
hauser. aged twenty. n molder's ap-
prentice, and for his father and Joseph
Hollowell. If the expected explosion
had happened the dynamite in the
mold would have greatly damaged the
foundry and endangered II '~- OF
nonuniOn men.
1t is stated that the apprentice con
fessed his participation in the plot to
blow up the foundry and gave the
names of fellow conspirators, one be-
ing an official of an organization with
which he is connected 1t is stated
that the apprentice told where the dy-
Mantle cartridges were purchased and
that he told his father about its pur-
chase and the plot. The young APP
prentice had been considered trust
worthy employee. 1t is alleged he ad-
mitted that be received 800 TO place
the dynamite in the mold.
A warrant has just been issued for
the arrest &c 'seph F. Valentine pres
ident O. tne Iron holders Union OF
North America, whose headquarters
are In this city. Valentine is charged
with aiding and abetting the attempt
ed dynamiting at the Eureka foundry

ABOUT
Picture FraminQ :.

A picture worth framing is worth
framing well. Not necessarily in an
expensive frame but neatly and with a
moulding in keeping and tone with the
subject and consideration of where
it is to be hung.
GRISWOLD has made specially of
framing for years and has a
reputation for artistic work.
GRISWOLD carries in stock the larg-
est assortment of mouldings to
be seen anywhere in this section,
ranging in price from SC to DOC
per foot.
GRISWOLD has more help to the
square inch than any other mer-
chant in town and will continue
to get out work promptly up to
Christmas, but there is limit
to ones capacity and last year
we were compelled to disappoint
some customers who ordered
late.
GRISWOLD boseeches all who wish
to make him happy, to order
their framing as early as possible
this year and avoid Holiday
trade
