Bearing Age" Trees.

The demand on the nurseryman for
"bearing-age" trees does not come
from extensive planters, for they can
get their orchards to bearing in bet
ter shape with less cost and less loss
than if "bearing-age" trees are used.
"Bearing-age" trees are too often from
overgrown or neglected blocks. and not

by them thereafter: tn at defend
ant, Rice, on October Is, 1905,
cashed said checks. and the
proceeds thereof, the sLm Of
5000, were delivered to the de-
fendant, Heber L. Hayes, who
was at the time advised of the
purposes for which said money
was deposited. which was
October 16, 1905.
To make a long story short,
there seems to have beer some
misunderstanding in regard to
the terms OF the bet or wager,

against the three defendants for
his S100, which was turned
over, together with McNulty's
S 90, to Rice and McNulty by
Hayes on representations made
to him by the two other defend
