NEW FERTILIzINC SYSTEM.

Certain sections of the old schoo' +.
horticulture opposed the introduction
of the dwarf fruit tree. They also
clung to their out-of-date systems of
feeding. They were at first hostile to
my views about fertilizers, but their
hostility is undergoing great change.
In what, then, does the new fertilizer
system consist? Frrit farmers in Eng
land have been nitrogen mad for years.
Even that great scientist. Sir William
Cookies, considers that the want Of nj
trogen is the cause of the depressed
condition of the agricultural industry,
and would possibly commend nitrogen
as the great cure-all for the fruit grow.
er. Yet manure induces excessive
wood growth in fruit trees, plants and
vines. 1t furnishes an excess of nitro
gen compared with the phosphoric acid
and potash. and fruit orchards stand in
need of supplies of potash more than
anything else. 1t must not be forgot
ten. though l point it out now for the
first time, that whatever plant food be
fed, especially to the apple orchard, it
should contain larger proportion of
potash than Of phosphoric acid, or even
nitrogen. ! emphasize these words be-
cause the assertion will come a5 a sur
prise to mary. 1t may be doubted, be
criticised, but it cannot be refuted. 1t
is based upon practical experience.
With the aid Of dwarf trces, consisting
of the SPECIAL varieties l have named,
fed on the new fertilizer system, COM
mercial fruit growing can be made an
important and profitable ildrstry.-

Grower.

Return of Pendant Earrings.

Custer setting for earrings such as
emeralds surrounded by pearls, or by
diamonds, are at present the correct
thing among stage women and others
who like pronounced effects. These
earrings are made up in the same
forms as the jeweled buttons now in
vogue in velvet frocks.
Pendant earrings in old-fashioned
silver and gold with added settings of
gems are being displayed by some OF
the oriental shops, while antique
shops offer their quaintest in ear
rings. If the rage for costumes of
certain periods should continue jew
elers predict that the pendant ear
rings, much bejeweled, may return

TREES OF MANY FRUITS.

Many people who live on city lots
long for fruit threes of their own from
which they can gather fresh fruit in
stead of being dependent upon the mar
kets, but owing to the cramped garden
area they feel that an orchard is an
impossibility. Mr.. Vaughn. of Pasa-
dena. was confronted By just such a
problem but he has cleverly found a
way out Of the difficulty. On the back
of his town lot he had room for six
fruit trees. He planted navel oranges
and peaches and plums, and when they
had become strong and sturdy he
grated and budded other varieties into
them The operations We're all sue
cessful, and now Mr.. VAUGHN has nuc
m5rous varieties Of fruit that ripen at
all times Of the year, and furnish an
abundance for table use. On one navel
orange tree Mr.. Vaughn buddcd a tam
gerine, a grape fruit, lemon and a
blood orange, making with the navel
orange itself five kinds Of fruit on one
tree. They all bear procusely, and the
fruit is of extraordinarily large size.
The peach trees were buGded with nu-
merous varieties Of early and late
peaches, as well as apricots and nee.
tarines. These bear from July TO No
vember l. The plum trees have been
induced to produce many kinds of
plums. If all the fruit raised from
these six trees came from individual
trees of their own kind, it woulC take
FIVE acre ranch to accommodate them.

originality. The record of

selfishly and slavishly reaps the val

"9EEMING POETRY
The Literary Invalids Who Fancy
They Were Born to SING,

The number Of interesting literary
invalids who believe they have the
germs of poesy is painfully large to-
day-probably larger than when Pope
urged his man to shut the door and
say that he was sick or dead. The
case is paragraphed and the poem
printed. Then the specialist is called
in. He taps and sounds the wheezy
muse and solemnly applies his ear;
often reports the case hopeful per
haps orders the patient to go to bed
for period, intimating, nay, promis-
ing, that when presently he rise re-
freshed, a great career in the rhythm
and metre line of business shall open
TO him. Hence, the delusion is fed.
At the present rate it may socn be as
hard to find an Englishman not sub
ject to poetry as to find one not sub
ject to gout. As the result of all this
cult-eyery leader of a literary cir
cle' wants to have a poet in his peck
eta great amount of seeming poetry
is turned out. The cream of it, whip
ped up with the deft hand by those
who rank as the poets of verse MAX
ers, is so seeming that plenty of edu-
Gated people are deceived. After all,
how many can tell for sure paste from

poetry-eyen practised parliamentar-
ians have found Mr. Chaplin, the ora
tor, quite like Mr.. Gladstone, the ora

words very carefully. It is notorious.

ration of mock + stry, as you may be

WOOD IN PAPER MAKING.
Spruce and Hemlock Pulp Take the
Place Of Rags.

Perhaps the first way wood was
used to communicate thoughts, or as
q means of keeping records, was in
the olden days when travellers through
the forests Clipped the trees and
made marks on the wounded spot so
they could trace their way back" i"
said Charles Kieren.
To-day nearly all the paper used
for correspondence, legal and bust
ness records. is made out of wood.
The day of rags for papermaking has
passed, for it not only is easier, but
cheaper, to make all grades of wood
pulp, and the latter produces by far
the better results.
Spruce and hemlock are the best
woods for paper making. The first
yields the strongest fiber, but the
latter makes the whitest paper. Even
papyrus Is made of wood pulp, but we
have found it too expensive to make
any quantity of that grade, for 1t
takes a special process and the mills
have to run at reduced speed.
While you might think that any Gull
wood could be used in the making of
paper, it is not so. OF course, choice
logs that would make good lumber
are not required, but the wood has to
be selected with much care.
"If the fiber is in the least de-
cayed, it is of no use for the max.
ing of pulp. But the day of picking
over filthy rags gathered from the
streets is past Where mills that use
rags have to employ 100 girls for
sorting, a wood pulp mill can turn out
30 tons of paper day with work
ing force of only 80 men" ."-Milwau
