H0WsWE GROW CHERRIES
BY FRANK YAHNKE.

This is very simply answered, and
if IWDuld say that we plant the trees
and take care of them. you would
know the whole secret, but at the
same time not know about how wei
really succeed in cherry-groWing.
We have aSdistinct variety of cher
ries which is almost exclusively plant
ed, known by us as the Homer cherry.
This cherry is on it's own roots We
plant the root sprouts SO that the
rows are twenty feet apart and the
trees ten. feet apart. We cultivate
the young trees until they are. bear
ing size*and then we seed the cherry
orchard into grass or clover. We
have learned by experience that cher
ry trees bear more fruit when seeded
in grass than when cultivated. AS
cherry trees ripen their. fruit early in
the season, we need not fear the
drought which will probably injure
the. later fruits. At the same time
cherry trees form their blossom buds
early in the season. and for this rea-
son it is desirable to check their
growth early so as to make the con-
ditions right for the formation Of
blossom buds, which insures a crop
ever, when the trees become old and
are no longer so vigorous in wood
growth, good cultivation is neces-
sary to obtain good large NO. 1 fruit
and to get the same result as with
young trees.
The pruning Of cherry trees must
all be done when the trees are young,
and ought to be performed with this
view in mind. to have an open crown
| in order to let the air and sun in, and
to prevent theA branches from cross
ing each other or from rubbing. If
the trees are pruned annually, no
other tool except a pruning shears or
! knife is necessary to do the work. It
lis best to do this work in March.
+ When the trees become bearing size
they often become bark-bound and
are benefited by opening the. bark on
i the north side Of the tree with a
knife. A straight cut from the ground
to the limbs is not desirable. 1t is
+ better to make the cut in several Off
SETS The cut ought not to be SO deep
as to cut thru the inner bark. The
best way to do this is to take a sharp
jackknife, give a rip upwards, then
set the knife in on one side of the
upper end of the cut. and make an
other rip upwards, and so on until you
have reached the limbs.
In the way Of closing, want to give
one suggestion, and that Is never to
pick the cherries until they are fully
ripe, for the cherries grow one-third
of their size after they have colored
In picking, be very careful not to tear
off the blossom buds for the next
season. Frank Yahnke.

At a. meeting Of official inspectors
Of nurseries--and orchards. 80 held at
Washington, D. c., in November, the
writer was much impressed by the
fact that most stringent laws exist in
many of our states regarding nursery
stock far more stringent than our
law In Minnesota is or ever likely to
be. This is owing to the fact that
much more serious conditions prevail
in many of our states than they do
here as regards insect pests and fun
gus diseases. There are no laws in
the two DakotaS or in Vermont,
Wyoming, Texas, Rhode Island, Ne
braska, Nevada, Mississippi, Kansas
or Arizona, and possibly one or two
other states. But with these eXcep-
tons Minnesota stock could be shipped
to no state in the union without GER
tficate Of inspection, or in some cases
a certificate of fumigation. In fact,
the Canada laws are so strict that
even with a certificate of inspection
on the part of the proper authorities
here. our stock cannot enter Manitoba
without being fumigated at Winnipeg
or en- route to Winnipeg. On the
other hand, up to this year any state
could unload stock upon us of any
" kind without being prevented by any
Minnesota law. At the last session
of the Legislature a law was passed
to prevent the introduction and spread

so white, so proud, so defiant, he would
have spoken, he would have asked

Once upon the highroad, the chest
nuts seemed possessed with fury;
they tore along, they reared, they
kicked, until the perspiration stream
ed down the groom's face. In vain he
tried to stop them, 10 bring them into
something like order, to steady them
they were rampant. In vain he tried
to speak to his lady, he could not turn
to her, and his voice was drowned in
the rushing noise of that mad gallop.
On. faster and faster, until they
seemed to fly past the trees and
/ hedges! On, faster and faster, until
the groom's hands bled with the fray
ing of the reins. They were rapidly
drawing near TO Shilton Hill, the steep
est and most terrible hill in that part
of the country hill down which
the most careful drivers went with
grave faces and steady hands The
Tmost reckless and the most daring OF
men paused when they came there,
and knew it was time to be cautious.
She had forgotten that terrible hill
when she insisted on the mettlesome
ponies; when she defied Heaven itself
to prevent her from going, that she
might accomplish her evil deed.
Nearer and nearer, with terrible
speed, and the groom stood up, white
to the very lips, pulling with the iron
strength of despair; the more he
pulled, the higher the beautiful heads
were tossed, the faster the gallop be-
came His thoughts went to the wife
and little ones at home, whom he
never expected to see again. She
perceived the danger at last; she cried
to him once, in a terrible voice, to
stop. but he never heard her-her
cries were in vain!
They were on the brow of the hill;
down in a mad gallop. faster and
faster-down. in desperate. mad rage!
Then the ponies fell. the carriage was
overturned. and my lady buried be-
meath the wreck! The groom, who had
fought. who had struggled so nobly
10 save her life. lay dead under the
iron-shod feet of the chestnut ponies!

NATIONAL CAPITOL EXTENSION
What it is Proposed TO DO, and Its
Effect.

Effect.
Washington Star-The decision of
the Joint committee Of senators and
Representatives regarding the exten-
sion of the capitol effects a cOmpro-
mise between the present condition of
that structure and the radical Walter
plan of 1874, which was subject to
serious objections in some quarters.
The plan of 1865, which was approved
by the committee, conditioned upon
notifications by architects, brings out
/ the central front flush with those Of
the north and south wings and pro-
vides for a continuation upon the same
plane of the colonlade presented by
the thanking members of the building.
The later plan, of 1874. proposed
considerably more easterly extension,
threatening the subordination Of the
wings 1t is believed that this com
promise will yield ample additional
room and, from an architectural point
of view, viii give a more satisfactory
foundation for the dome, which at
present rests on the east and west
sides, apparently upon the outer edge

What lively emotions are kindled
in the human breast at the incoming OF

or the birth of newborn soul into
the kingdom. Then childhood. as it be-
gins to act its part in the family be

he talked with the doctors Of the law.
attracted the attention of the wise and

The marriage relation is one of the
prominent acts in family history. God
uses that relationship to describe the
tender tie that binds him TO his peo-
pie. Sickness, with lis wasting hand,
is spoken of as the misfortune Of the

How happy it would be for the
world if it could only recognize the
fact that Gods family of earth and
