Dr.. .Reineke and his family were in
the courtroom. DR.. Reineke has been
very much perturbed because Of the
innuendoes OF counsel for the defense
their introduction Of testimony which,
the doctor believes, tended to cast sus-
p1clon upon him. So yesterday he
brought his family and others who
knew the facts Of his being at home at
$3.50 on the night of the murder, over
to Mankato. He asked counsel for the
defense to call them to prove his alibi,
but Senator Somerville told him that
he could not do so. He said that DR..
Relneke was not on trial, and that it
would be absurd for the defense to
prove his innocence of crime of which
he was not accused. 1850
. DR.. sReineke, as soon as there was a
question raised as to his whereabouts
on the night Of the murder, proved an
alibi which was satisfactory to the
authorities, and nothing further was
said about him in that connection until
the present trial. His readiness to pro-
duce abundant proof is taken by the
state in the best faith and is pro-
nounced commendable.

WATERING HOUSE PLANTS.
Rain Water Is Better Than Water
from the Well or the
Spring.

Rain water is generally better than
we'll or spring water. Hard water may
be greatly improved by adding a few
drops Of hartshorn or little soda-in
a small nugget about the size Of pea
to every gallon of water used. Morn
ing is undoubtedly the best time to
water plants; next the evening. Never
water house plants when the sun is
shining brilliantly on them. The
amount of water must be regulated &C.
cording to the demands of the plant.
The appearance of the plant and the
condition of the surface soil are the
best guides. If the soil is Of the right
character, water should never be add
ed when the surface is moist to the
touch. Nearly all plants require more
water when in bloom than at any
other time; they require more in a warm
temperature than in cold; more
when in state of active growth than
when at rest. Plants in an ordinary
living-room usually require water once
day, and some that especially delight
in moisture need it twice. AS a
rule, all house plants should be exam
ined once a day, with intent to water,
if that is necessary. Experience alone
can determine the proper amount to
give each plant. Never wet the
flowers of a plant, nor allow drops of
water to stand in the saucers of the
flower pots, unless the plants are semi
aquatic.-Woman's Magazine

ORCHARD HINTS.

Where heavy bearing fruit trees have
forked, it. is good plan to form q nat
ural graft, joining the two limbs to pre-
vent them breaking down when loaded
with fruit.
In manuring trees, do not pile it about
the base, but scatter it evenly around
the trees several feet away. Each year
the circle should be enlarged, as the
roots extend.
The practice of spraying is profit
able one. Farmers and growers increase
their profits at least rs per cent. when
they spray. It is decidedly the only
way of saving trees, shrubs and plants
from insects and fungi.
II you want to try new kinds of fruit,
buy a small tree. When you set it out
save all the twigs you trim off and graft
them onto an old tree. Trim the old tree
to give these scions the sap and you
will have fruit in two years.-Farm and

TREES AS SOIL BINDERS.
Denuded Tracts Which Are tho
Worse for Their Lack Of
Trees.

In our haphazard methods Of farm"
ing we have uncovered much land
that never should have been exposed
to the elements, rain, sun and winds.
The trees have been the great help
ers of Dame Nature in her attempts
to reduce chaotic conditions to order.
The great glaciers and the floods or
past ages left the land in a condition
where every rain quilted it and every
wind sent the fine sands from place to
place. In such localities nature IN
the course Of centuries planted her
innumerable host of trees. They rose
out of the sandy wastes and covered
them with grateful shade. When the
driving wind came it found not a dry
soil ready to be borne aloft, but a
moist surface out Of which grew the
moss and new shoots. 1t could not
be blown. The trees shed their
leaves on the soil that had been dry
and movable, and still more protect
ed it from the sun that dried it and
the wind that blew it. The rain no
longer corroded. the hillside; for 1t
fell on the dead leaves, and from
them oozed into the soil beneath.
There it found countless millions Of
>rootlets interlaced in every direction
and it could not move the soil parti-
cles held by them. It took many
hours to travel few hundred feet
through the ground, and under the
leaf mold. Much of it was absorbed
by the leaf mold above, and this
great wet blanket prevented the sun
and wind from drying out the surface
soil. Man in his ignorance and inn
providence denuded not only the
plains and the rolling lands, but also
the sandy ridges and the clayey hill
tops. The leaf mold disappeared, often
as result of the fires started
among the loppings of the trees. The
old arboreal giants that had held the
loose soils in subsection were ami
Inflated and their roots rotted in tho
ground. There was then nothing to
prevent the soil becoming dry and
friable. The winds blew it and the
torrents cut great burrows through it.
We have seen large areas of sloping
land quilted to q depth OF five and SIX
feet. 1t is impossible to use such
land for any kind of farm operations.
The only thing possible to do Is to
put back the trees. The uneven sur
faces, which are now of no use, will
then be bearing a crop that man
needs.
At Cairo, ILL.,, an illustration may
be seen of this use of trees as soil
binders. The trees there form a
small forest, and keep the soil both
from washing and blowing. On our
farms are many neglected spots of
the nature indicated. The only pos.
sible way to make them useful is to
plant trees on them. Where the soil
is very light, sand-loving trees, like
the white pine and the white birch,
will have to be selected. Their pres
ence will prove in many ways bene.

BEST ORCHARD FERTILIZER
Wood Ashes Proves the Most Bene-
fetal to Fruit Trees-How
to Apply.

II have found from my experience
that wood ashes is the best fertilizer
we can put around our fruit trees" re-
marks Mr.. Jacob Faith, in Western
Fruit Grower. "Ashes should be placed
closer to the bodies of the trees than
other fertilizers. Coal ashes are of lit
tie value, except on wet land, and trees
have trees over 30 years old, about which
I have placed ashes for many years, and
80 per cent. of them are in perfect con-
dition, while other trees not so treated
have long since died. The trees which
had been treated also bore from one
fourth to. one-half more marketable
fruit than the untreated trees. 20
1.-THE quantity of ashes to be placed
about tree depends on the size of the
tree and the strength of the ashes. One
peck Of strong unleached ashes about
a newly set tree is enough; double the
quantity if ashes are leached. l place
one to three bushels about trees five
years old or more. think wood ashes
are better fertilizer than barnyard
manure, as the former causes sound
growth, while the manure is apt to
force rapid growth, liable to winter
kill. Nearly everyone has noticed how
much better trees grow where a brush
heap has been burned than on nearby
soil; the same is true Of grapes Trees
and vines most benefited by application
of wood ashes are, in the order named:
Peach. pear, apple, cherry, plum, grape.
raspberry, blackberry, strawberry"
