pretty figure, however, but the perSlS-
tent criticism of the president accept
ing favors from railroads while at the
same time seeking to have congress pro-
vide stricter regulations for these or
CARNATIONS, compelled the president to
end all discussion by bearing his own
travelling expenses. The trip of the pres

osjtion for all the railroads handling

hundreds of miles around, and this
means a big business for the railroads.
1t was on this theory that railroads have
carried presidents free in the past, as
they calculated to make many times
over the expenses of the presidential
train from the additional passenger
t afic the tour would attract.
1t is probable that at. the coming SEES

made by which the travelling expenses

ton to have the chief executive spend
thousands of dollars to visit various Sec
tions of the country when in most in
stances his travels are in the interest Of
the whole people. 1t is admitted that the
tours of presidents through the country
have all been conducive to general good.
Congress will be asked to appropriate
a certain sum to be at the disposal Of the
president for travelling expenses which,
if not used, shall be covered into the
treasury at the end of the fiscal year.
These trips are not junkets in the COM
mon acceptance. of that term, but are for
the purpose Of studying conditions and
meeting people in every par of the re-
public. 1t is contended by many that
congress could not make a wiser ex-
penditure of money, than by appropriat-
ing funds to carry every member Of the
house and senate into every state of the
union and compelling them to familiar
lie themselves with conditions every.

FERTlLIZINC ORCHARDS.
". F. Massey Tells How This Work
Can Best Be Done-Fruit Trees
Need Enriching.

Farmers as a rule. realize the LIN
p~ortauce of fertilizers on their annua
crops, but when it comes to the or
chard they imagine that an apple .l
a peach tree or other fruit tree car
get all it needs from the natural soil
And not only do this, but the, orchard
is often expected to furnish hay ior
pasture for stock. The result Of such
treatment is seen all over the coun
try in decrepit trees and poor crops
Of fruit, and the growers say that the
climate has changed. and they can
no longer grow fruit as they formerly
did, when in fact soil exhaustion is
1t the root of the whole trouble
When one considers the great amount
Of plant food that has been taken
from the soil to build up a great apple
tree, and that a crop Of apples takes
from the soil mineral matters to
thrice the extent that a crop Of wheat
Of 25 bushels per acre will take, the
reason for the failure of the fruit
becomes apparent. In the early
growth Of an orchard we want the
trees to develop fast, and hence we
fertilize the soil with a complete fer
tilizer and grow some truck crops
in it that need such feeding. But
after the tree has gotten into a bear
ing condition we al put the land in
grass and cut it several times during
the season, and let the cut grass rot
the land, and car thus supply all
the nitrogen needed, especially II
clover is grown. Plenty of white
clover among the, grass, well supplied
with acid phosphate, and potash
mixed five parts of, the first to one OF
he last, will supply in 400 pounds pei
acre what the fruit needs for its per.
Try this and see If the fruit
does not respond.

Weighed by His Soap.

In the little town of Peru, ten miles from
Pittsfield, the farmers in the winter bring
their butter and eggs to Frank Creamer's
and exchange them for tea, sugar or any
thing else they need.
One day Mrs. Ackert brought some. but
ter in pound Jumps to exchange, and after
weighing them, he said: Mrs. Ackert, this
butter does not weigh a pound"

esty of purpose, there are many o
sands Of self-appointed regulators VINO
are willing to decide questions for MIN
and to furnish him, gratis, with all sorts
of information and advice. There have
been few presidents who have been more
willing to receive Information and to
listen to suggestions on public issues
than Theodore Roosevelt, but at times
the offers of advice become sOmewhatOf
a bore and the president is often an
noyed, although at times considerably
amused.
Everybody in the United States who
has taken the trouble to read the presi-
dents utterances knows exactly where
he stands on the question of giving the
interstate commerce commission power
to fix railway rates in case of disputes.
The other day, however, two gentlemen
called to pay their respects, and as soon
as the introduction was over they began
making arguments in favor of exactly
the presidents position. Mr.. Roosevelt
listened for a moment, and then merry
ously said:
Nov, gentlemen, that is all right, but
please do not enter into a general argu-
ment on this question. If you have any
specific suggestions to make l shall be
very glad to hear them" The visitors
had nothing Of that sort to offer, and
took their leave.
After they had gone out of the roo
the president turned to friend and with
a bored look on his countenance, de-
clared: Now, there are two of the
incest men in the world, l have no doubt,
but they wanted to occupy a half hour
of my time in convincing me that AIN
right. l know that l am right, and do
not need their arguments to prove that

Mclean now controls the Post, which
was made a journal of national repute
by the late Frank Hatton, whose poll
cies were continued unchanged and
brought to a high degree of success by
Mr.. Scott G.. Bone, who become editor
in-chief as we'll as manager of the paper
after HattOn's death. The property was
owned by Beriah Wilkins, a former Ohio
congressman and partner of Hatton, but
Mr.. Bone was the controlling force in
making the Post one of the most widely
quoted and influential Journals in the
country. Public men of all degrees
sought the commentator of this news
paper.
Mr.. Mclean, during wilkins lifetime,
acquired a small interest in the Post,
and recently was able to purchase a half
interest from Wilkins heirs, SO that
with what he held before, he now con-
trolls the paper. He is one of the wealth

tied the Cincinnati newspaper prop
erty from his fatHeff," Which in itself is
a mint, and virtually owning the Wash
lngtOn Gas company, which enjoys a mo-
nopoly of the gas lighting in this city.
These two magnificent properties give
him more money than he knows what to
do with, so people ara wondering what
he wants with the Washington Post.
They are inclined to believe that he has
taken it as a new toy, and in his old age
will have it to amuse himself with. 9th
ers are uncharitable enough to believe
that he wants a personal organ in the ma
tional capital with which to further a
great political ambition. = Il
