HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

While it is a good thing to plant !
tree, it is still better to take care of il.
To grow good crops of c%urrants keep
the old dead wood cut out.
Flower pots should be set into dishes
or upon pieces of glass to prevent
making spots where they stand.
The selection of trees for home use
and for a commercial orchard should
be different. The size, color and time
of coming into market makes the most
difference with a commercial orchard.
Agricultural colleges and experiment
stations complain that they do not re-
ceive the encouragement and -oper
ton from leading farmers and fruit
men that would give them the success
they deserve.
In setting an orchard it is a good
plan to obtain from the local nursery
man a list of the fruits best adapted
TO that locality, and the order in which
they bear. The aim should be to have
them regular and sure bearers and of
high quality.
1t has been demonstrated that fruit
does not keep so we'll if it has been
forced in it's growth. Fruit that has
grown on rank growing trees does not
keep as well as that grown on less
thrifty trees.
John Wanamaker says there is only
one way 10 ADVERTISE, anu lHdl Is To
hammer your name n your business
so constantly. so persistently, so thor
oughly into the peoples heads that if
they walk in their sleep they would
constantly turn their heads to your
store. The newspaper is you best
friend in spite of your criticism.
Those who have TO spray for Canker
worms have been losing an opportunity
to catch the wingless moth by using
sticky preparations upon the trunk OF
the tree TO stop her as she crawls up.
Sometimes the moth will drop to the
ground by a web when the tree is
Jared.
The plum curculio breeds not only in
plums, but in peaches, cherries, neck
%terines, and apricots. 1t can be con-
trolled largely by putting a sheet OH
the ground and jarring the tree, and
destroying the beetle. 1t h~ibernates in
the ground, and many can be destroyed
by letting chickens and hogs u in
the orchard. They breed only once a
year, and thus may be easily controlled
by active measures.

M Easter Rush.

Anent the Easter rush, Florence Kelley,
the secretary OF the National Consumers
league. said;
"Our great store keepers are kinder than
store keepers used to be in the past. Sales
men and saleswomen used to work too
long and for their work they got too little
pay. l know an old gentleman-his mar
ried daughter keeps him now-who used &c
work from Z in the morning till 9 at night
in a little shop at q salary so ridiculously
low l am shame 70 quote it to you.
The shop was a small one. The pro-
prietor didn't advertise. No doubt he had
a hard time to make both ends meet. II
he didn't make them meet, though, il
wasn't because he failed TO overwork and
u~nderpay his three clerks.
To my friend, the old gentleman. ono
Good Friday night, the proprietor said, re-
proachfully;
This Is really too bad. Johns. You
have been late every day this week.
Johns for once asserted himself-in =

1t is rather hard luck. sir, he said.
T get home every night two hours late
for supper is no joke. Still, sir. l don't
mind IL during this Easter rush. "

COLONY IN PANIC
Greatly Disturbed by the Decision Of

lnvalidatina Many DEGREES.

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 17.-Judge
Jones refused 10 give any opinion as
to the effect the supreme court de-
cision will have on South Dakota di-
vorces.
The decree was a bomb shell i'm the
local divorce circles as o o as IL was
received here many OF the fair di-
vorCees were seen making "A bee line
for the offices Of their attorneys.
Judge Jones, however, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
For man years the courts Of New
York have held that a divorce obtained
in another state by a husband or wife
there residing is OF no validity as
against the spouse residing and served
I'm New York. or by publication, I'M
less the defendant appeared and an
swered in the action.
Many lawyers have believed that an
appeal to the supreme court of the
United States would reverse the New
York rule and compel the courts Of
that state TO accord full faith and
credit to such DEGREES of divorce. But
il appears from the Haddock decision
hat the New York view ia sustained
by the supreme court of the United

is one explanation: General Trepof
went 10 the theater one night when q
cinematcgraph supplied part OF the en-.
t-crtainment. Revolutionists had tam.
pered with the film, however. and the
instrument ground out moving pictures
which led up dramatically from q
meeting of conspirators 10 the murder
of General Trepom himself after the
OF the taking of OF the late M
Won PhleYe. The whole thing was SO
realistically done hat Trepoff was ter
Tified and at once resigned.
