MEDIUM HEADED TREES.
t Is the Best Form If the Orchard Is
 to Be Wei-Cultivated.

Ten or 15 years ago we practiced heading our apple trees very low, or as low as we could keep them but since that time we found it impossible to give our orchard clean cultivation, or rather intensive cultivation, with the trees that way. and we are grad ually working them higher.
 We would now call them medium height, a, Q heading them as low as we can give them thorough cultiva- tion and pass under them with teams, and this is becoming the practice in this vicinity at this time, writes a Cumberland County Qll) correspond ent of the Farmers Review. I think there is very little in high or low head as to borers. High heads are a little more apt to sun-scald unless the trees be set leaned a little to the southwest. Probably the high-head ed trees would lose more apples in a storm than W-headed ones, but the low-headed ones sometimes thresh the ground and knock some of the fruit off and the limbs touching the ground are apt to have poor and bad colored fruit.
 Would advise to keep the heads as low as you can to cultivate under, as you can do better job of spraying on low head than on high headed tree, and do it more rapidly, also cas- fer to keep caterpillars or other in sects off low fruit trees and much cas- fer to gather the fruit.
 We aim to keep our tree heads as low as possible to have them so they do not interfere with cultivation, and we call our orchards as they are now medium-headed and have gotten them as near right as we can put them and cultivate

of growth are illustrated; a shows the beetle; b, the egg; c, newly matched larva; d, full grown larva; and e, pupa. All are very much enlarged.
 In treating to exterminate the pest, dust the young plants when wet with dew, with plaster of Paris mixed with weather frequently all that is neces- sary is to simply brush the larvae from the plants It is a good thing ordinar- fly to allow fowls to run in the aspara- gus beds. It is generally advised when cutting the asparagus to leave few shoots, for beetles will deposit their eggs on these and they may then be cut down and destroyed.

AGING TREES BEFORE PLANTING.
Can Be Done by the Farmer to Advan- tage If He Economies on Space.

In my orchard 1 started to test a plan that 1 am working out much more extensively on my own farm, that of growing the orchard before I plant it out, says A. Susley, of Connecticut This is, instead of planting three or four-year-old trees in the orchard, put them in a nursery row about two feet apart and trim about the same as if planted in the orchard. Grow them two years, pull up, trim again, and again plant them, giving them more space and at the end of two more years take to the orchard. I have taken this experiment far enough to feel sure that I can grow 1000 trees on a quarter of an acre at less eX- pense than in the field and have the latter clear to improve or crop in full. Do not confound this work with the old idea of bearing age trees They must be handled on or near the farm where they are to be used, as the bulk will prevent shipping them It is exactly the same process as is used by many ornamental stock growers, and for the same purpose.

The complainant alleges that the Waters-Pierce company was in a combination with the Standard Oil Company and other corporations to fix the price of oil. Attorney General Hadley, of Missouri has been pro- ceeding against the Waters Pierce Oil Company in the same manner. and it is supposed that MT. Rodgers was able to gain some valuable informa- tion from the Missoyr, officials.

WELL-FED TREES.
They Come Into Bearing Later, But Last Longer Than Those Underfed.

It is a matter of common observa- ton that fruit trees on thin soils come into bearing early, exhibit a strong tendency toward fruitfulness, for a comparativeiy short time, and die, and that trees CT good, strong land come into bearing as rule somewhat later, grow to much greater size. and live for a very much greater number of years, says tI J. Waters, director of the Wisconsin experiment station. It is safe to say that well fed trees may have more rhan double the number of productive years than those which are underfed usually have.
 The fact is strikingly shown by the results of aL experiment conducted by the New Jersey experiment station with teaches, in which it was ob- served that on the unmanured land the crops secured at the end of eight years were so small as to very mate rially reduce the average for the whole productive period, while in the case of the manured land the average for the entire period was not only not reduced, but very materially increased Thus, the crops secured from the ma nured trees, after those receiving no manure had practically ceased to bear, were greater approximately than those secured previous to that time That is to say, that the properly fed trees were at their very height of pro ductiveness at the time when the un- manured trees had practically ceased to bear.

now dictating to the Legislature what laws to pass, and are trying to mo- nopolize the entire business. They have deputies in every township, with officers in the justice of the peace courts; in cities from two to four deputies. Is this right, or is it law? say neither. I am in favor of organ izlng, the same as the sheriffs, and it Is my opinion that the best way is to start in our own county Suppose we meet at Marvel or some central place and do the same as the sheriffs organize. We hold the majority. one sheriff to twelve constables.

WHAT TO PLANT.
Selection of Variety of Grape Vine
 Calls i.r Careful Consideration.

A vineyardist has this to say about planting grape vines: Had I planted fewer varieties and tested one, might have been better situated. Out of 75 varieties of grapes that I am fruiting, l would not recommend more than six for commercial purposes. The others are only good for exhibition or for ex- pertinent stations. This will hold good in nearly all kinds of small fruits. Strawberries are about the same Of the several varieties I have growing, five comprise the really good ones Soil and conditions of culture must be taken into consideration, for every one growing strawberries will find out that they are very greatly influenced by the locality in which they grow. The strawberry that does well on light soils may not thrive on the heavy soils The grower must study his soil as well as his varieties. The best strawberry ever grew would not sell on account of white tip. 1 have now discarded it. People buy fruit by the eye and not by quality. AS to gooseberries and entrants, there is no use in planting the small kinds, as the public is de manding the larger varieties regard less of quality. Of grapes I would plant the following: Moore's Early. Worden, Concord, Niagara, Woodruff Red. Of strawberries I would recon mend Warfield, Senator Dunlap and Aroma. Of gooseberries I would plant Downing. The best entrants are Pomona and Cherry.

Washington, D. C., August 20th.-A determined effort will be made at the next session of congress to prevent another appropriation for the free dis tribution of common garden seeds- Congress now expends $2420 900 year in giving away the commonest varie- ties of peas, beans, turnip. squash and pumpkin seeds. They are divided into 40,000,0 ,000 packets so that the packets cost about half a cent each. But as a large part of the appropriation is expended in clerk hire packeting the seed, etc, the actual value of the seed in packet is much less than half cent. These packets are put up in packages of five packets the total cost of the packages being about two cents each, and they are purchas- able anywhere at five cents. Each member of congress gets 12000 such packages, which he distributes to the voters of his district
 The farmers say that these pack ages contain so little seed a3 10 be of no value to them, while the total ap- propriation, if expended in sending out really rare and valuable seed, or in maintaining national agricultural college, or divided among tbe state agricultural colleges, would be of inn mense value to the farming interests. They therefore protest against the waste of public money The seeds men claim that as congress has al ready expended $5,000,000 in giving away turnip and watermelon seed, it is time it should give away saws. axes or hoes and give the seed trade a rest. Those who believe that congress should cut off this perQuisite of it's members now used for political pur- poses, are writing their senators and representatives, urging them to abol- ish the free seed distribution. and the National Grange, many state and local granges, horticultural, agricultural and other societies are adopting reso- lutions condemning it. MT. William Wolff Smith, of Washington, D. C., has been selected to represent the oppo- sition to the congressional free seed distribution, and is personally answer ing all inquiries concerning the same.

PRUNING.
Use of Paint in Covering Wounds

Pruning a tree in g dormant state stimulates growth, while pruning in summer, that is, through the growing season, in June and July, checks the growth. If we understand this princi- pie we are able to do some good prun- ing of our trees. But it is fact that more trees have been ruined by overpruning than by not enough

ARBOR DAY.

Mention was made in THE TRIBUNE last week of Arbor day and some of the benefits to be derived therefrom.
 But let us emphasize it little more and get the readers of this paper to thinking and talking for the time is drawing nigh. The 1st Saturday in March will soon be here.
 Are you going to be ready? Have you gone out in front of yourdwelling and let your imagin- ation draw a picture of the shade and ornamental trees and shrubs that you could make in a few years? And at so little expense in money, and just enough labor to give you good appetite? Think of those evergreens, those Caro- lima poplars and naples waving in summers breeze. The home of natures sweetest songsters singing praises, for having given helping hand with nature and natures God in beautifying your hahitation. Think of those brigt smiling roses, the green of flowers in contrast with the green foliage. The honey suckle with her matchless perfume, then think of the cool refreshing shade where swings your hammock amid all the sweet scented, cool and refreshing air, and if this will not suffice to set you to digging the holes for trees and shrubs, think of the enhanced value of your place should you or your posterity wish to sell. How much more would you give for a home with a beautiful lawn bedecked with sweet flowers and abundant shade, than for house in the broiling, hot sun, with not enough shade for bird to sit and warble song to it's makers praise. What do you say neigh Dor?
