Spade Deeply for Trees.

When new tree is to be set out
the ground should be we'll prepared
for it. When large plantations are to
be put in, plough may be used in
the preparation of the ground. More
often, however, the spade is used for
preparing the ground in which trees
are to be set The depth of the spade
is about ten inches, which is about
four inches more than the depth of or
dinary plowing. The depth of the
spade should be the measure used in
turning over the ground for trees. The
space so prepared should be ten feet
or more in diameter, and this pre.
pared space should be increased as
the tree grows. The object of the en-.
largement of the space is to prevent
the forming of natural water-tight
basin in which water would accumu-
late to the detriment of the tree.

Mixing Tree Fruits.

F0r q great many years nave OD-
served among the orchards that are
planted around me that the orchards
that are all Of one variety bear less
evenly than where the fruits are
mixed. know of a great many in
stances where pollenization was i'm
perfect because only one variety was
grown. In discussing the matter with
orchardists, have been very much
surprised to find that there are very
many men that know absolutely moth
ing about the necessity for cross pol
lenization. My first observations OF
this kind came nearly fifteen years
ago, when the matter of cross-pollen-
lzanon of plums was but just receiv-
ing the attention of our scientists.
After that came the -polleniZation
OF pears, the Kieffer being a pear that
in many situations refused to produce
fruit unless the CARRIER or some other
fruit was grown near it. remember
being in large pear orchard that
had long since developed enough to
bear fruit, but yet bore no fruit. l
asked the owner why he did not grow
some other pear in the orchard. He
replied that he had never known that
1t needed cross-pollenization. After
that he grated a part of the trees
with the CARRIER, and in a few years
the orchard became fruitful. A great

ton except where the ends of trees
OF the same variety come together
There the pollenization is imperfect
while the pollenization of the sides is
perfect. The planters say that they
hold to this arrangement because they
want whole rows of the same variety
for harvesting and packing. If they
would but consider the matter they
would find that the same end might
be obtained by alternating the trees
in the rows. If one will but draw on
paper the arrangement indicated he
Will lind that all the cross rows and
longitudinal rows are mixed in variety
but he will also find that the diagona,
rows are all of the same variety. The
arrangement Of every other tree o1
the same variety would give diagonal
rows all of the same variety. The
great advantage is that each tree is
surrounded with four trees of the
other variety, and -pollenizatio1
is then as perfect as it is possible tc
have it.-John Y. Smith, Alexander

The departing American who stood on the dock at Liverpool and an nounced, "If there's any man, woman or child in the British Isles or on the continent of Europe that hasn't re- ceived a fee, let me know 1t now" was not alone in his consciousness of being "done."
 The Washington Post tells of a gen tleman who went to pay his bill at a fashionable Florida hotel, and re- ceived a statement which showed him to be indebted to the house to the ex- tent of hundred and twenty-four dollars. He had been there but four days, and the estimate seemed to him a little extreme.
 However he did not finch. Taking out huge roll of bills, he extended it to the cashier and said, Guess again. I've got more money than that"

RAILROAD TO TAP BOLIVIA.
Chilli Is About to Build q Line 2,695
 Miles LOrg.

MICS LOrSs
 Consul Mansfield, Valparaiso, Chilli announces that the government of that country proposes to construct a rail way through the provinces of Tocna and Africa into Bolivia. The latter country is provided with poor facili' ties for getting about and the impress sion is strong that if Chili's plans of constructing some 2,695 miles of road are carried out great commercial revolution will be effected. Regard ing the present conditions, MT. Mans field speaks as follows:
 Road-making in Bolivia, owing to the peculiar configuration of the cOun- try, has many difficulties. The most important roads have total length of 2,297 kilometers Q,426 miles). In the loftiest parts of the Andes the high ways are little more than goat paths, which have been cut by Indians for the traffic of their beasts of burden. Along these mountain paths droves of mules, donkeys and llamas are con tinually going and coming, carrying from the interior tropical fruits, cocoa, yungas, coffee, etc., and taking back from La Paz and other towns along the routes flour, groceries, alcohol, etc. The internal trade carried on in this manner will be largely increased once the country is tapped with railways.

HIGH PRICE OF NEW IDEAS.
Business Men Willing to Pay for Criti.
 cal and Profound knowledRe.

cal and Profound Knowledge.
 Perhaps never before have men been so willing to pay for ideas. A railroad director receives a handsome salary for his opinion on measure. A corporation lawyer is asked a question, which he instantly answers, and his bill for large sum is cheerfully paid. It took only a moment in each case, but the value of an idea cannot be measured by the time it takes to ex- press it.
 1t has taken long time to convince mOneyed men of this point, and some Of them have not been convinced. But those who are wise enough to see 1t are availing themselves of great op- poftunities for the betterment of their business. The idea has its extensions, reaching throughout an organization. The man in charge of division of business is given credit for what he knows as well as for what he does. He is given credit for what he leaves undOne-what he sees it were wise not
 
 eral thinking throughout the organiza- ton, where formerly only blind work was expected according to the plan then in use.
 The recognition of the value of new idea, in regard to a business point, is leading employers to encourage criticisms and suggestions from em- ployes in respect to the details of the business, thus utilizing their micro scopic view rather than depending solely on the bird's-eye view which is taken by the manager. A friendly feel ing results from this attitude and the employe takes deeper interest in his work, developing his own capacity and helping the business. To see his idea carried out by his superiors puts new life into him and adds new enthusiasm to his efforts. He will work harder to develop another point and so win this appreciation than he would for any other compensation.
 When a business organization be- comes a body of thinking men and women instead of vast machine of which each individual is but part, it becomes possible to govern them more by the spirit and less by the jet ter Of the rule, thus utilizing individ- uil judgment at those points where strict adherence to the rule is unde- sirable. It becomes possible to elimi- nate great deal of detailed system or "rep tape" and to substitute active judgment This develops individual capacity in the employe, while it greatly lessens operating expenses for the employer and eNriches the busi- ness with more intelligent work.-Suc- cess.

FINANCES OF PANAMA CANAL
Operation CurtniIed to Prevent E1-

This Year.

WASHINGTON, Aug E.-One of the first
important tasks awaiting Mr.. Shonts when
he assumes the presidency OF the Isthmian
Canal commission is the conservation of
the balance remaining CT lie appropriation
of SO 600 so as to guard stoppage OF
the work of canal building.
The commission today issued the follow
ing statement on this point:
II was officially stated at the IsthmIar
Canal commission today that of the ap-
preparation by congress of $lO,OOOOOO for the
construction of the canal, there was on
commission took hold an available balance
to the credit of this appropriation of
During the month of April the expeudi-
lures from this approximation aggregated
$4,000; during May, S53 coo; during June,
$659,OOO during July, $4,000 for wages,
salaries, materials supplies and equipment.
During July there was an unusual eXpendi-
ture for the purchase Of two ships at $3.50,
600 each, not included in July expenditures
above.
During the month of August, up to and
including the 18th, $250,0O had been eX-
pended. This left to the balance Of the
appropriation on August l5 &,Sl6, ll3. in ad-
dition to which each of the two disbursing
officers had I'm hand $4,000 on that date
1t will be seen from the foregoing that
the average expenditure per month, leav-
ing out of consideration the purchase of
, these two ships, was in the neighborhood of
$3.50 600 and at that rate of expenditure the
S2Sl671S will last until early in January,
which is according to the schedule fixed by
Mr. Shonts on April l. when he became
chairman of the commission.

SCHUYLER, Neh., Aug. 17.-(special Tel
egram )-One of the worst storms in the
history of Schuyler struck here tonight.
About o'clock an ugly locking cloud came
up from the west and north. II could be
seen that a bad storm was coming and
many people took to their cyclone cell
lars before the storm broke About 6:i5
the storm broke and in a minute tho air
was filled with flying debris and brapches
of trees. The wind seemed to come from
no particular direction. but came on with
a circular motion like a tornado.
NJ T. Bohman's enormous hay barn Just
north Of the depot was completely de-
stroyed. There was no hay in It. 1t was
crushed like an eEgshell. The building
was insured for $1,000.
The fence around Wright's lumber yard
was blown down and lumber piles upset.
Trees all over town were broken down
and outbuildings destroyed.
The brick chimney of the city power
house was struck by lightning and de-
stroyed
Maple, Ehrenbergers Bros store front
was blown in and the rain poured in all
over the furniture and goods,
At Langer's restaurant the awning was
blown through the window, destroying part
OF the soda fountain.
The wind was accompanied by a heavy
rain. About one inch of water fell in
twenty minutes and part of the town is
under water. Reports from the country
are that corn was blown down pretty
badly and several hay stacks set on fire
by lightning. Windmills and small build
ings were also wrecked.

EAGLES ON DRESS PARADE
Kansas City Drill Team Gets Prize
for Rest MarchinE-COntestf for
Presidency.

DENVER, Aug. 1.-THE parade Of dele
gates, drill teams and marching clubs this
afternoon was the feature of the day in
connection with the meeting of the grand
aerie OF the Fraternal Order of Eagles
More than an hour of time was consumed
in passing the reviewing stand
At the conclusion the grand trustees
awarded exqusitely embroidered banners
to the Kansas City drill team for the best
marching club and the Old Mexico aerie for
the most unique costumes.
Perhaps the most significant part of the
parade as bearing on the heated contest
for the presidency was the homage paid
President Pelletuer Of Kansas City. The
delegations lined up before him at the
reviewing stand and cheered him enthusl-
astically. The Davis supporters declared
tonight that this ovation was merely in
recognition Of Pelletuer's high Office and
did not indicate the prevailing sentiment
as TO his reelection.
A statement was issued at Davis head
quarters In which they claimed that fifteen
OF the larger delegations were pledged 70
vote solidly for Davis In addition TO a ma
jority of the delegates OF eight other dele
cations. This would leave but little for
Pellettier and B. f. McGinnity OF Illinois
The Davis contingent are claiming tonight
that McGinnity will not be able 10 COM
mand the solid vote Of his own aerie 70
say nothing OF the entire representation
from the state Of Illinois The grand aerie
today decided 10 vote on the presidency
tomorrow morning al 10 o'clock
There was only one session today, de-
voted TO practically the report OF the
judiciary committee revising the laws and
constitution OF the order. II will be several
| days before this work Is completed.
