as often as the condition of land and

as often as the condition of land and
season made it necessary. Every day
the ground remains in crusted condi-
ton there is loss of growth of tree,
and if it be loaded with fruit, so much
greater will be the necessity of thor
ough cultivation in order to conserve
the moisture needed to carry the fruit
to maturity, and at the same time keep
the trees in a healthy growing condi-
ton and induce them, If possible, to
make fruit buds for crop the ensu-
ing year.
Any crop which requires careful Gull
tivation, as corn, potatoes, melons,
cabbage, and other vegetables may be
grown in the orchard with advantage
to the trees and profit to the owner.
There are also other crops which may
be profitably grown in the orchard
(while young), notably, strawberries,
raspberries, red clover and cow-peas,
and for cover crop for winter protec-
ton to root system, rye may be sown
in the fall and used for winter pasture
for hogs. No one should attempt to
grow all of these crops in his orchard.
And as to which will be. the most
suitable, and best paying crop, each
one must decide for himself, since
much will depend upon the kind and
character of land, and the demands
of the local market. One objection
so often urged against cultivating the
orchard is the loss that occurs by
washing True, there will be loss
of this kind, just the same that the
farmer meets continually in cultivat-
ing his corn crops on rolling or billy
land, but what farmer would advise
non-cultivation Of corn because the
land washes?
When the orchard reaches bearing
age, and when carrying full crop OF
fruit no crop Of any kind whatever
should be grown in it, but the cultiva-
ton should be for fruit alone, and
the cover crop for winter protection,
whatever it may be, should be de-
stroyed, and cultivated into the soil in
early spring. Cultivated orchards are
less liable to damage from insects on
both tree and fruit, for the reason that
the poultry and birds have much
better chance to pick them up than in
the orchard left to grow in weeds and
grass. The sun, air, and frost will
also have a more beneficial effect upon
the orchard when cultivated.
But the great drawback to cultiva-
ton. and to the Missouri fruit-grower
in general, is that old mother nature
has done so very much for him that
he thinks it altogether unnecessary
to do much for himself or his orchard.
He seems to think it quite enough to
plant the trees, turn in the stock, and
gather the fruit. In conclusion, per-
NIT me to say, that if all the fruit
growers and farmers would only en-
brace and improve the opportunities.
and give that painstaking care and
thorough cultivation to their orchards
and fruit gardens, which the people in
the over-crowded countries OF Europe,
and in the less-favored sections of our
own country are compelled to give In
order to make bare living, the fame
of our fruits would soon become world
wide.

course is certain, as it ought, to result
in low prices and loss.
Buyers are always skeptical in pur-
chasing fruits until they are satisfied
of the honesty of the packer or grow

once established there is no difficulty
in finding a ready market, at top
prices, for all that can be produced.

Strawberry and Cherry Shipments.

Strawberry and Cherry Shipments.
The season for strawberries and
cherries in the Yakima valley is
about over and it has proven to be a
very productive one for the farmers.
The shipments this year in strawber-
ries has been 1895 crates, 274 crates
being shipped in May, 5161 crates in
June and 500 in July. In cherries the
shipments have been SOB boxes, 100
going forward in May, 1888 boxes in
June and Is in July, up to the 10th
of the month These shipments, as
compared with those Of last year, are
about double as much more, and this
taken with the amount consumed at
home denotes an immense crop The
market, however, apears to be equal to
any amount produced.
The bulk of the shipments mentioned
above were to Montana and North Da-
kota points, although a large amount
went to points within the state. Of
the shippers the Yakima Horticultural
Union was the largest, having 1900
crates of strawberries and $500 boxes
of cherries to it's credit. J. M. Perry
& Co. also figured on the shipping list
to a considerable extent, while many
farmers made individual shipments.

New York. May 25.-The closing out of
contracts. yesterday by the Disguised
traders who had come into the stock
market under the influence of the Satur-
day bank statement left little motive pow

some short selling in the effort to extend
the downward movement SO as to yield
a traders profit on the short side. But
this was timidly pursued and with the
trading became virtually stagnant Eff
forts to trade seemed to be abandoned
in despair of achieving any movement

influence on the early heaviness although

and while the apples were fair for
cooking purposes, they were not good,
eating. AS all the seediess orange
trees now in bearing were cultivated
from two freak trees. there is no know
ing what might have been produced by
proper methods from the apple tree
described. The writer is reminded
that in the old orchard on the farm
where he was born was a tree known
as the "No-core Russell" The apples
were small russets, some of the largest
having rudimentary cores, while most
of them showed only little hardening
of the pulp in the middle. To a boys
ralate it was a very eatable fruit, but
how it might be to a matured taste Is
entirely another question. AS to the
character of the blossoms, there is no
recollection.

The battleship kentucky, which has
lust reached New York after IN alb
sence of over three and One-half years,
has made a record which is unparal-
lelled in the history of the world

lustre upon the builders and navigators
of our great fishing craft. This snip has
sailed, during it's absence, GS,157 knots,
the record for long distance cruising.
While at Manila it broke the record
for accuracy of Workmanship with its
great guns and small batteries. After
its long service in the various seas oil
the world it steamed it's last run, n
distance of 5000 miles without having
the slightest repairs to any part or its
machinery. The work of the Kentucky
recalls that famous achievement of the
Oregon. and suggests that that famous
battleship Is not alone in our navy in
its availability for most severe service

spending large sums Of money on his

moneys worth, and he is fortunate in
having officers and seamen who know
how to manage his naval property and

Hazinq in English Colleges.

As a result, it is said, OF the SUE
cessful efforts which have been maoe
in this country in recent years to sup
press hazing at our higher educatioiial
institutions. the English people nave
now taken up the subject and have SET
in motion a similar crusade TO Stamp
out the barbarous practice. which mas
survived to a notorious degree IN tha'
country. For centuries hazing prac-
tees have existed at English uhi-
versities and private schools, and these
practices the English people nave
tacitly approved. The English UNDER
graduates, like undergraduates every
where, are very jealous of their STUDENT
traditions and warmly resent the at
tempts being made to kill out haz'iis
in their institutions. Hazing often has
been carried to brutal extremes III
England, so that not a few fatalities
have been the result of the barparous
custom. The authorities at oXlord
University have recently taken Vlgor-
Gus stand in the NATTER and the subject
has been much discussed of late IN the
British papers.
In this country, where hazins prac-
tees have so completely died out
through more enlightened STUDENT
sentiment, and through the appiicatioh
of principles Of self-government In I'M
dergraduate bodies, there Is dlflicuity
in understanding why English pubic
opinion has not earlier been aroused.
There are many more effective and hui
name WAYS of subduing the fresh
student and to polish off the rough
lines in a young mans character, than
through any arbitrary hazing disci-
pline. which imperils life and limb.
West Point and Annapolis have been
the last institutions of note in this
country to learn this lesson, and it is
hoped that the famous English institu-
tions where hazing has existed for GEN.
turtles. as all know who read boys
stories of English life, will not be slow
in becoming as civilized as our Ameri-
can colleges and universities.
