recently predicted that within short
time land battle will be fought be-
tween the japanese and Russians, In
which thousands OF lives will be sacrl-
feed, and that the former will be vic
torious, Afterwards, entanglements
will arise, warsiiips from all the lead
ing nations will go to Asiatic waters
TO participate in war Of the world. IL
will be averted by peace being pro-
claimed between Russia and Japan,
the former possessing Manchuria and
the latter Korea. This is the same

operation to be performed on King
Edward, which happened as predicted.

Caches Orchards.

The reports of Thomas Stirland and
Neis p Broby, deputy county tree
inspectors, leads to the belief that
horticulture is carried on in Cache
county on much larger scale than the
average citizen realizes, and further
that unless prompt and effective
action Is taken TO check and eradicate
the diseases that are ravaging the
orchards, Cache will soon be without
sound fruit and with little hope Of a
future along horticultural lines. Mr..
Stirland says that there are hundreds
of acres of orchards In this county,
there being forty near the little town
Of Cove, as much more near Smith
field, and Richmond also has out con.
siderable fruit. We all know that
Providence is fruit section. In fact
IL must be gathered that fruit raising
Is one of Caches industries already
and that her future along this line is
limited only to that which always
comes with intelligent and industrious
effort. Since this is evident, the
orchardist should give careful atten-
ton to the instructions OF the inspec-
tors and enter heartily and intelli-
gently into the effort that is being
made TO preserve the present fruit
trees and provide an assured future
for new orchards which may be plant
ed. Nature can and does do great
deal, but can not, will not do all.
The new orchard or old orchard
should receive careful attention in the
matter Of pruning and spraying and
these matters should be attended to
at the proper time. Learn when to
spray, how to spray, when TO cut
down and destroy, when to prune and
how to prune. Learn enough about
your business to do the right thing at
the right time. The following remed-
les are suggested as being opportune
at this time.
Pear blight--No spray is known to
cure 1t. Cut dead limbs Off a foot be-
low affected parts and BURN AT ONCE.
Summer spray for all biting insects
such as apple worn, pear slug, cater
pillars, etc, Paris green one pound,
lime ten pounds, to one hundred fifty
gallons of water.

person In this valley having a few
children and no land, leased five acres
OF land last year on shares, paying one
third OF the product to the lessor. In
the fall the owner of the land received
800 as rental and the lessee received
$40 for his share, making total of
S3l5 that the five acres produced.
This piece of land is no better than
thousands of other acres in the valley,
and all that is needed to bring forth
good crops is to work and pulverize the
soil. Farmers who do not properly
prepare their land for planting can
not expect good crops The bed for
planting the seed should be thorough
ly pulverized and if once going over is
not sufficient, go over the ground
twice or three times as the case de-
mands. Work thus performed will
pay many fold when the harvest
comes. Every available nook and cor.
ner should be planted with something.
There are many small spots which can
not be cultivated with large machin-
cry and these places afford ideal spots
for beet raising. Plant and cultivate
by hand so that every small spot is
utilized.

Charleston, April IL, l904.-At a mass

the sentiments Of the people of this
precinct concerning the proposition of
bonding this county for the purpose
of improving the roads of this county.
The people voted against the bond
ing for that purpose or any other pur-
pose. While we realize that we need
better roads, we also believe that each
precinct should build its own roads or
use their proportion of the means in
their precinct and not build one road
for the benefit of one portion of the
county and leave the other part out in
the cold, We believe with the county,
as with the individual, either bonding
beyond its means isgoing down instead
OF up.
