THE OLD APPLE TREE.

The dropping of fruit is a provision
of nature for thinning the crop. What
remains is improved.
The Ben Davis apple tree comes
nearer to being an annual bearer than
any other.
Most varieties of apple trees have
the habit of bearing every other year.
The dropping of apples lis caused
largely by lack of pollenation.
The small apples in the orchard can
be better utilized for vinegar making
than anything else. These apples are
of practically no value for any other
purpose.
1t pays to pillow the land deep for
any kind Of fruit before the plants
that are to bear that fruit are set out
on land that has never been plowed
deeply, the roots of plants hold clio se
to the surface.

HAD FIRST DISCIPLINED ARMY.
Egyptian King Credited With Much
Military Foresight.

Disciplined armies are to be traced
in the records of all the great nations
of antiquity through Rome, Greece,
Persia, Assyria and Egypt The
Egyptian Pharaoh, Rameses II. about
400 B. c., is credited with the pos
session of the first disciplined army
Early in life his military experiences
with the Arabians taught him the
necessity of having troops drilled in
the art of war.
He established a warrior class,
which became the nucleus of an army
numbering over 100000 men, includ-
Ing infantry. cavalry and war chart
OTIS.
With this army he is said to have
made great conquests in Asia from
the Gauges to the Caspian, and it
seems certain that at any rate ii was
he who gave Egypt its earliest mill
tary organization and established the
first regularly disciplined army known
to history Chicago American.

Have fifty to their one.

No worse than some / know,

The faults of others go.

Our chickens, "roost at home;"
Don't speak of others faults until

pretty, but the glass was rather small.

to the ownership of property in the
neighborhood of Front street and the

Southern Pacific Company and the city.
