AGE OF BEARING PECANS,

cuts no figure, as it does in frui
trees and further experience convin
ces me that l am right-that size O
tree alone determines this period
Congeniality of soil this period and O.
good attention determines the size
more than time, and brings about the
bearing period. Whenever this size
and height is obtained, if in five
years, the young tree will bear; if
not reached in 100 years it will not
bear. Hence the Importance of pro-
noting quick growth by every means
possible in selecting the most congen-
ial soil and planting that which gives
the best send-off of nut or scion.
The size of tree in bearing often
varies. But upon these genera. limits
you can depend. No young tree is
apt to bear until it reaches the height
OF eight feet and has a we'll grown
trunk and heavy top, and every tree is
apt to bear by the time or before it
attains five feet in height, unless
crowded so as to run up like a fishing
pole. The first fruits are very scant,
two Or three nuts to handful on a
tree. But after the tap root strikes
after or permanent moisture and con-
genial soil. the growth is very rapid
as well as the increase in bearing.
Twenty-four to thirty feet is pretty
and convenient distance to plant the
nuts. This gives room to cultivate
between rows.
The nuts should be bedded out ia
fall or winter like peach seed, and
from middle of February to March Is.
after they begin to swell and often
send tap root, place where perman-
emily wanted This method protects
from all depredators, as rats, crows,
etc, as they can be bedded in LAYERS |
in box and kept in sand, and it in |
sures good stand, for all that failed |
to germinate can be thrown aside and |
none but on the sprouting ones plant
ed in orchard.
Where one does but feel like setting
apart portion of his table land for
pecans the rough places on sides of |
hollows and ravines and even fence |
corners are excellent places to plant.
They need no especial cultivation.
All that is necessary is to cut grass
and weeds Immediately around the
small trees for the first year or two,
to keep them from being smothered
This can be done two or three times a |
year at odd seasons, when too wet to /
work crops. Fifty cents even invest
ed i'll this way and seventy-five or
eighty nuts planted and if only one or
two succeed in bearing in ten years it |
will be the best expenditure of money
and time possible There is no farm
er who owns his land but what can
afford to spend more than this and
has suitable soil in creek bottoms that
overflow, or along his strings of fence,
that can plant to advantage and make
it a paying investment, either in his
life time or leaving it as rich legacy
for posterity, who will rise up and
call him blessed for "a thing of
beauty" as the pecan tree really is,
and il more apt to be "a joy forever"
than what the poet may have had, in
mind, on account of its longyeity. u

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Some women save money for men
by not marrying them.
1t is not lively but marrying be-
yond ones that does he mischief.
When you hear that people have
reformed either they are pretty sick
or very old
A women wears veil, like good
many things, to cover, not to hide
her charms.
Men go to the opera with their
wives just the way women listern to
| the political arguments of their hus-
bands
When girl thinks how queer it
would feel to wear tights she is afraid
to look a 2-year-old boy in the face
The reason woman never balances
her check book is because she knows
the cashier will never agree with her
because he is never right.
The men to pick out to appreciate
the joke you want to tell him is the
fellow who is waiting to borrow $5
from you when you get through tell
ing it.
1t makes man feel awful cheap to
go home and find calling on his wife
a woman who refused to look at him
in the street car.
A woman's idea of foot to be
proud of is one that will fit shoe
numbered smaller than1t really is.
The way of girl to have nice,
rosy complexsion is for her to try to
climb fence and get caught with
half of her on one side and half on
the other.

Gate. Atar For Doxvie.

ZION CITY, H., July 1.--''Prophet" Dowie is at home again. On the ar
 rival of the train Dowie's carriage, victoria, trimmed with carnations, ferns and smilax, conveyed the doc
 tor'' and his chief ''overseer" at the head of the procession to the arch, the Zion brass band furnishing music. At the arch ten little girls stepped forward, robed in white, with blue badges across their breasts bearing in gold letters the names of ten of the principal countries which Dowie had visited. The children carried large punches of roses, which they threw over Dowie and his party. The gates of the arch were then unlocked by Dowie's chief "overseer," who return Bd to Dowie the key which the doctor
 before departing for the antipodes had handed to the "overseer." Although rain began to fall and spoil the effect of the exercises, brief addresses were made by Dowie, his wife and others.

 Relief of Prosecuted Armenians Is
 Now Assured.
 LONDON, July 1-Great Britain has successfully brought pressure to bear on the porte for the relief of the perse- cuted Armenians, according to Foreign Secretary Lansdowrfe's statement to the Anglo-Armenian association. He said that Sir Nicholas O'Conor, the British ambassador at Constantinople, in a long interview with the grand yixier, Ferid Pasha, had pointed out that the porte would be held responsible should the reports of Kurdish outrages prove true.
 The ambassador called the attention of the grand vizier to the design which had been accredited to the Turk lsh authorities of driving the Armeni- ans from their mountain homes to the plains and urged that orders should be sent to the vali of Bitlis that refugees be allowed to return to their homes and be given protection from the Kurds.
 The grand vizier acquiesced in the wishes of Sir Nicholas O'Conor and tel egraphed orders to that effect in the presence of the ambassador. The Brit ish vice consul at Bitlis was notified of the grand vizier's action and instruct ed to report its effect
 Lord Lansdowne said that the porte had also granted permission for Brit. ish officer to accompany any troops engaged in expeditions against the in surgents.
