Low-Headed Trees.

The old-style orchard was often very
high headed, with the limbs we'll up out
of the way. The idea was to train the
tree so high that teams could be driven
under and to keep the limbs above the
reach of cattle. Now that these items
are of less Importance to most orchard
lists, the tendency is in the opposite d.
rection, until ]. H. Hale asks pertinent
ly: "What's the use of a trunk, any
way?' 1t may be said in favor of the
ow-down tree that the fruit may be
picked at considerably less cost and is
not so likely to be blown off by the
wind. Spraying is also less difficult
It is in many ways the better tree for
those who do not cultivate directly un-
der large trees and who keep cattle
away from the orchard. In row of
the sturmer apples the trees were cut
back much shorter than in many or
chards, consequently the limbs are
sturdy enough to hold the fruit without
bending. These trees averaged about
four cases to the tree. The trees branch
out about eight or ten inches from the
groun Cultivator.

IN GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

The knife and saw still remain the
principal remedies against the blight.
We have not yet found remedy that
may be applied to and cure sick limbs
and twigs.
When blighted portions are cut from
twigs of trees they should be at
once burned. The dead wood really
contains no live blight spores, but the
point where the living tree comes in
contact with the dead part may.
The pecan crop is estimated at over
100000 pounds short by the Dried
Fruit and Nut company, at St. Louis
The estimate is claimed to be made
on careful investigation. OF course, q
shortage of this extent would indicate
much higher prices
There can be no question but that the
sulphur lime and salt solution is a
very efficient fungicide. It surpasses
anything I know of for cleaning up the
trunks of trees and it has very marked
effect upon the freedom from scab of
both fruit and foliage.

OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham. early in her career, gave exhaust
i've study to the subject, and in pro-
ducing her great remedy for woman's
ills-Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound-was careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many SO called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. arrangements OF

fertile soil, about nine inches deep.
Cover the surface about one inch deep
with fine sand.
II the adjoining building is heated
with steam, a connection may be made
with a radiator to the coil of pipes
placed under the plant bed on the
porch roof, as shown in Fig. 2. This
may be used in cold weather to prevent
freezing within the greenhouse. But in
dry, sunny weather the sun will fur
nish sufficient warmth to keep the house
in growing condition for the plants.
The entrance to the house proper must
be by way of an adjoining window or
door to the roof Of the veranda. A
drainage pipe should be arranged to the
plant bed to carry away surplus water,
also a supply pipe for watering. The
bed should not be wet so thoroughly as
to cause water to run through.
Such a house requires much the same
management as does a hotbed. Ven
tilation is necessary on very warm
days, and thorough watering at fire.
uuent intervals will cause the plants
to grow most rapidly. Such bed will
furnish early vegetables, as lettuce,
radish and bunch onions in abundance
during the winter. In some instances
the entire supply of winter vegetables
has been grown in such house with
a floor space no larger than 10xl2 feet.
Toward spring the house will also serve
to grow seedlings for planting in the
garden, such crops as cucumbers white
Spine varieties) and tomatoes LOril
lard and Mayflower), may take the
place of the lettuce and radishes. These
should begin to bear fully month
before plants set in the garden.

Look for the Good.

Human beings live up to our ideas of them. If you require much of a man the chances are that he will try to meet that requirement.. You pay a tribute to the manhood or womanhood of individuals every time you show be- lief in them. and, since even the lowest has a spark of bigness in his nature, he cannot be otherwise than touched by that belief. It is. if you will. a subtle sort of flattery to expect goodness and trrth and wisdom from poor human beings, but 1t Is flattery in the right direction. It Is not selfish. It tends to aid the flattered and not the flatterer. Cynicism and disbelief are. on the other hand, an invitation to the cowardly. They are nothing more than a condone- ment of wrong.

A SKETCH
(COntinued from Page Three.)


 Fort. Did the ghost of the early stormy days of our coast haunt the feverish dreams of those broken, dis heartened, but unconquered soldiers, as in rain of shot and shell they waited there to act the final scene in the tragic drama they had been enacting four long years They might have done so. Spanish. French, yea, In- dian. heroes had stood dsspairing upon the same soil. looking across the same 1oyless sand dunes to the same waters that were bearing them usurpers.
 The bsth's flag hoated for the last time over ramparts at this cheerless place. and there the last time shared shot and shell, with its brave defend CTS waving ~ last deflant wave. From the fort 1t was borne over marshes of duicksand that near closed over bear CT and flag; through dense woodland and untravelled by-ways. to place of transportation: and thence to Merid- ian' Miss, where the death knell of the Confederacy was heard, and orders re- ceived to surrender
 The bSth Alabama Regiment formed and marched in ranks the last time April, 1865, but without its ensign Where was the flag There keeping firm step in ranks was James Freeman. It's devoted bearer Where was the flag? Its secret was alone with him.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-03-12

Not even his comrades of the color guard knew that at the last moment ne had stolen aside, torn the strap from his collar. lowered, torn off and stuffed the nag in the leg of his al- most soleless boot, throwing away the stan preferring 1t to be strampled upon. and passed into dust and ashes, rather than clasped by the hand of conquer CT. James Freeman surrendered as a private in ranks, and no question was made for his flag. The chaos about each member of the disbanded 5Sth left no space for thought of the van ished old flag; or if they thought of 1t. It was in grateful silence at not seeing 1t in the enemy's hands. Forced on each was the necessity of prompt action for life, and the future; and as Colonel Inzer expresses 1t The battles fought the next few years to estab- fish peace were more terrible than those of the proceeding four when facing the cannon's mouth"
 Now as to the fate of the two flags of the 58th Alabama regiment, c. $. A.
 While Lieutenant Freeman was tramp ing away to his distant home with his treasure safe ia his tattered boots, Federal officer without seeking permis- sion quartered himself in the spacious old Hungerford home at Uniontown, and wishing trophies to take back north surreptitiously inquired of the servants what the family possessed. On being told the young lady had Confederate flag he demanded it of her. saying he knew she had one for the blacks" had told him so, and that he was determined to have it. The fright ened girl first tearfully pleaded a mothers and sisters right of and at tachment to the relic. Then. seeing pleading and tears did not move the stony heart. she grew indignant, and said, Many brave men have followed and died defending that flag. and one woman will do likewise" The mother in an adjoining room having heard the demand for the flag and knowing their inability to save 1t from vandal hands, rushed to the place of concealment. took the flag, placed 1t on the hearth and burned 1t. Afterwards gathered carefully the ashes in a box. and in the dusk of twilight mother and daughter stole quietly to the little church yard. knelt beside the grave and buried the ashes of the flag above the soldiers heart. Ashes to ashes-dust to dust" What a halo of precious memories span that grave in the little church yard!
 Years passed. James Freeman sought and made a home in a Northern State; but he never forgot his flag. nor gave away tHe secret oi ''S hioiiS ohth death came to remove him from the world of strife. Then-thinking of those who had looked to the flag, and marched with 1t, and him, through those days. months and years of fiery trial he told his son of the flag and bade him, if the time ever came whom he could without danger to the flag communicate with the old comrades to do so and convey 1t to them with the story of how he saved and cherished 1t to the end of life.
 Time moved on. The son was a ma ture man. Bitterness no longer sat in
