A AtranRe rirnte Story.

In the museum at Kingston, Jamai-
"a, there are some tattercd slips pa
2crs, brown with age and salt water,
and small tin canister. These articles
attest tho truth of the strangest pirate
story eyer told.
In 1900 the crew of the Nancy brig
were apparently honest traders, but
did some piracy now and then OH the
side. One day they found 1t necessary
to 90 into Kingston for supplies. Be-
fore doing so they naturally removed
oil traces Of their buccaneering trade.
Among other things they threw over
board this lin canister stuffed with pa
pcrs taken from ships they had sunk,
with comments written on the margin
by the pirate captain.
Later in the day a British frigate was
becalmed near the spot, and the sailors
spent their leisure catching sharks.
Presently they hauled up big fellow,
cut him open and found the tin case
with the papers inside. These were
taken to the captain, who as soon as Il
breeze sprung up sailed into Kingston
harbor, found the Nancy brig there and
had the crew tried, convicted and
hanged in chains at Port Royal.

SCARE FOR THE PORTE
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS ORDER
THE EUROPEAN SQUADRON
TO TURKISH WATERS.

Washington, Aug. G--The European
squadron has been ordered to Turkish
waters.
The orders were cabled to Rear Ad.
miral Jewell, commander Of the squad
ron, at Nice. His ships are the Olym-
pia, Baltimore and Cleveland. The
destination of the fleet is Smyrna.
This place was selected because it af-
fordcd direct cable communication
with Washington and is only about
800 miles distant from Constantinople.
The trip probably will be made in
three days and when he arrives there
Admiral Jewell will put himself in
communication with Minister Leish-
man and also report to Washington.
This action of the officials was taken
as means of securing recognition of
American rights and settlement of
American claims which have been un.
der discussion for some time and
which the sultan has time and again
promised to remedy.

dler as endorsing the treatment. This
intelligent fruit growers of the coun-
try. 1t is we'll known that our expert
ment stations have stood like a wall
between the dope fiends and faddists
generally and the inexperienced fruit
growers. But here was an exception
if the claims put forth were true.
Some one wrote Prof. Taft about this
so-called endorsement. When the an
swer came back it proved to have this
foundation: A man made his appear
ance at the station and set forth the
claims of his dope. Prof. Taft heard
him but had no confidence in the sue
cess of the treatment" He told the
man how he viewed the matter. The
peddler asked the privilege of trying
his injections on some trees on the
experimental grounds and this was
granted, as it was believed that
neither harm nor good would be done.
How easy it was to put into an adj
vertisement the statement that this
particular treatment had been tried on
the college grounds and had not been
found a failure. All of this was true.
But Prof. Taft or any other college
professor ought to be raped over the
knuckles pretty sharply for even Civ
ing a man the chance to try such a
scheme. Some men have an mex
haustible store of patience. I have
not. A man came to our place few
years since selling some kind of a
compound at $500 per gallon. 1t was
warranted to keep orchards clear of
all kinds of pests. In proof Of such
high claims the young man who was,
trying to sell me the compound
wanted me to smell it. I have smelt
rotten eggs, sulphurated hydrogen AMI
many another direful smell, but this
one could take the cake. The young
ster said that if little of this mix
ture was daubed in the forks of the
apple trees the moth would stay away.
asked him how long it would last,
and he said as much as twenty-four
hours. I told him to trot, and he
trotted.
There is an article in a recent issue
of the Western Fruit-Grower by Theo-
dore Williams, of Benson, Neb., on
top-working trees, that deserves more
than a passing notice. The process
recommended by Mr.. Williams is what
he styles bud-grafting. He says it
may be done any time from June to
October. The work can begin when
ever the buds are sufficiently ripened.
1t seems that he uses only terminal
buds, and they may be anywhere from
three inches to six feet long. Think
of using a bud six feet long, but this
is no joke. Mr.. Williams, according
to his report, actually does the work.
This is the way he explains his
method: For most work we prefer
,,I,,,on shoot about three inches
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-06-15

to six inches long. We make a long,
sloping cut according to the size of
the scion and push it under the bark
of the stock. We use little scions at
the top end of the limb where the
bark is thin, using longer and thicker
shoots as we work downward into the
thicker bark until at the ground, if we
wish to replace a tender or injured
tree with one on hardy roots, we use
a growth from three to six feet and
push the scion into the bark several
inches below the ground where it
takes root Some of these shoots are
three-fourths of an inch thick at the
base, have side branches and wood
two or three years old. The large
scions are not apt to be bitten off
by the rabbits or smothered by the
weeds and we gain year or so by
their use."
This is interesting information. The
editor of the Fruit-Grower vouches for
the reliability of Mr.. Williams. I
quote from him: eff we are top-work-
ing in sorts slow in coming into bear
ing or naturally unproductive, we in
vert the scion upside down, pushing it
upward under the bark with the ter
minal bud hanging downward. July
and August, if not too hot and dry
is the most favorable time when the
trees are making rapid growth and
the descending sap is full of food
This manner of buds grating proves a
success upon everything I have tried
The most profitable cherry orchard /
have is all worked on plums. Our
children have begun grating as soon
as allowed to carry knife, and now
at the age of 7, 8, II and II, have
good idea of the natural affinities in
grating and are capable of direcang
unskilled labor"
Mr.. Williams, whom l have quoted
above says that one of his boys can
insert 500 bud-grafts in day and that
95 per cent of them will grow. He
uses no string or wax. AS soon as the
graft begins to grow he recommends
pruning the tree enough to let In the
light and air. No severe pruning Is
practiced till the graft has grown to
absorb the sap. The experience or
.-r. Williams suggests that every man
who is engaged in fruit growing
should learn how to graft and bud.
He should train his children how to
do this kind of work. 1t is all non
sense to think that only the specialist
who is trained to such work can do 1t.
Even children can do such things II
they are allowed to learn. AS stated
in former issue of The Ranch we
can become skillful only by practice.
But how many opportunities there are
for practice! No real harm is done
to the tree by inserting these gratis
if they do not grow. So keep up the
practice

without saying. But that is true of all
the trees in the orchard. Whether the
trees affected with crown gall will die
sooner than the trees not affected, l
do not know. Some of our college
men say they will, and l think that
they are Correct in their views. But
the death of the tree is not an i'm
mediate result of having this disease.
The worst thing thus far observable
is that the tree in most cases ceases
to grow This is not always the case,
however, for l have some trees thus
affected that do grow. The trees so
affected continue to bear. The little
Canada Red tree above mentioned
continues to bear as nice apples as
have ever seen of that variety. Twice
the apples from this tree have won
first prize at the Washington state
fair. 1t may with perfect propriety
be said that this disease is not an
alarming one. The crown gall works
on apple, peach, pear, cherry, plum
and apricot trees. Sometimes it is to
be found on oak trees and probably
that has been true since the time
not to the contrary"
Prof. W. L. Howard, of the Mis-
souri, experiment station, is giving
special attention to this particular dis
ease. He presents a somewhat more
gloomy view than the one l have pre-
sented above but his view is by no
means an alarming one. He shows
that it is not we'll to grow nursery
trees continually on the same ground
if there is any appearance OF crown
gall. He further says that the disease
does not attack tree more readily If
propagated in one way than another
That is, it makes no perceptible differ
ence whether the treee is propagated
by piece-root or whole-roOt grating or
budded in seedlings. If, therefore,
some tree peddler comes along and
tries to beguile YOU into buying his
trees because they are propagated IN
a certain way and will not have crown
gall, open the front gate and unchain
the bull dog and say "Sick i'm, Tige.'
The Western Fruit-Grower says that
the alberta peach has been over
planted in the south and middle-west
In the south where this variety has
been planted by the hundreds OF
thousands, the tendency is to switch
off to something else. Too many
peaches coming in at once tend to glut
the market. The growers are plant
ing such varieties as come in earlier
and later than the alberta. The
Crawfords and liberia come in nearly
together with us. The Foster is a
good yellow peach that comes in
ahead of the alberta. For later
peach the Wonderful is a good one,
also the Salway. Sometimes the last
named comes in too late and gets
nipped with frost. The Orange Cling
is a good late peach but it would not
take very many to glut the market.
There is a time when peaches are in
great demand and when that time is
passed the market will not take many.
That is true to some extent with any
kind of fruit Apples are always in
demand, but there comes time even
with this king of all fruits when not
very many are demanded by the trade.
In the middle-west some men are
travelling over the country selling a
certain kind of tree dope that is to

Proposition to County Com.

Cleveland county is considering a
proposition submitted by ]. r. Cotting-
ham, OF this city. Of new county
court house TO replace the structure
which was recently burned.
Referring to the offer of Mr. Cot

ing there, the Norman Transcript
says:
The idea Of the commissioners is
that a $4,000 or $4,000 court house
would be about the right sort Of a
one to construct. putting that much

for the new building, and with no ex-
penditures for either site or furnish

tingham's proposition is that he, viii

and nothing to show for II al the end

The assessed valuation Of Cleveland
