trees, clear the ground and make use

Undoubtedly there are some orchards

was set on gravelly soil, which is not
considered good for apples. The trees
were of the poorest. They were, in
fact, nothing better than refuse stock
IRON a nursery, such as ought to go as
brush. This was the beginning.
For nearly 80 years the trees stood
and took the chances with the grain
and hay crops. OF course they had the
worst of 1t and at the end of that time
there were many vacant places in the
orchard. The trees that remained were
small and slckly looking. AS for fruit
there never had been much. The OF,
chard had been one that didn't pay"
Fortunately man with an idea then
took charge of the farm. He plowed

the field he used it for a hog pasture.
After a year the ground was again
plowed and sowed. The pigs grew up
and went their appointed way, leaving
the orchard better than they found it.
The trees responded readily to this
treatment. They made fine growth,
and after four or five years began to
produce apples. Then the orchard

on the farm. There were crops on the
''of" years, when other orchards were
nearly barren.
Conditions were certainly discourag-
ing enough. It Is mo exaggeration to
say that the majority of neglected or
chards offer better prospects than this.

The varieties were mostly good.
What was done in this case can be
done in many another. II the orchard
has been long in sod it can be plowed
UP this fall after the trees have stopped
growing, then sown to rye. Next spring
begin pruning and set the hogs at
work. The pigs will do the cultivating
and will pay for the privilege.
Whatever may be said about this
method. says the Farmers Voice, and
it is not above criticism, it is at least
q cheap and convenient way Of treat
ing this vexed question. There may be
ways that are better, but certainly this
is not so bad as to leave the orchard to
care for itself. The same treatment
would make many orchards source of
profit that now are an annoyance to
their owners and far from a credit to
the farms.

secret service on account of his in
timacy with criminals.
I had been working tc locate Hughes,
but had been unsuccessful until Au-
gust, 1876, when Swegles informed me
of his whereabouts. Starting with the
information given by Swegles, I soon
found and arrested Hughes in the
Hub" saloon at 294 West Madison
street, previously mentioned as having
been kept by Jim Kinealy and Terry
Mullen. Hughes was arraigned and
deposited $4,000 to secure his appear
ance for trial the following January.
In the meantime Swegles, whose
identity and connection with the secret
service was a most carefully guarded
secret, was working to ingratiate him
self into the confidence of the counter
feiting band that made its headquar-
tiers at the Club" while in Chicago.
He confided to Hughes that he had
served, time in q western prison for
horse stealing, but that he was anxious
to forsake the crudities of horse steal
ing and other common lines of crime
for the refnements of. dealing in coun-
terfeit money. Swegles, by clever dis
sembling, was successful in convincing
Hughes that he was promising mate
rial for an addition to the ranks of
the ."coney men"
was fully aware that Swegles was
working to win the confidence of the
counterfeiters that met at the "Hub,' .
but 1t was about two months before I
had any other communication from my
roper" that was Of Importance. He
then conflded to me that the band had
under way sensational plot-not
along counterfeiting lines-but to steal
the body of Abraham Lincoln and hold
it for a large ransom. Accustomed as
was to the daring operations of these
men, the audacity Of this plot startled
me. Swegles mentioned 100000 az
