Planting Trees on Sod Land.


would say to the man that has just
purchased a farm and wishes to set
out apple trees in sod land this spring,
that he can do so easily, as he would
have to prepare his ground anyway be-
fore planting. II | had the planting to
do l would pillow the ground and pre-
pare 1t just as would for corn. Then
would plant my trees, which can be
done as late as the 9Th Of May in Hi
nois.
l would plant between the rows or
trees such crops as onions, peas.
beans, cabbages, potatoes and sweet
corn of the low growing variety. Mel
ons and cucumbers also do very well
on new land. l also recommend sweet
potatoes. Field corn would choke the
trees more or less, and while they per-
haps would grow just as well with
field corn planted among them, the
next spring would show them badly
frozen back, because the wood will not
ripen as we'll when shaded by the
corn as when they are free to receive
the light and air. But as l do not

respondent wishes to plant TO trees |
offer another idea:
Suppose that he wishes to plant an
acre or two and that near the house.
He would do wise thing If he did
not break up the sod at all. Every
farmer has chickens and assume that
this farmer has. He could skim of the
sod for about four feet square Tor
round if he prefers) in the place
where he is to set each tree. He can
plant a tree in each place so prepared
and afterwards allow the chickens to
run there.
If your correspondent will buy only
trees that are dug fresh from the field
next spring, l think the loss will be
small. But if he buys trees that have
been stored or heeled-in over winter,
his loss will be great. AS to whether
it would be possible to perfectly pre-.
pare ground in so short a time, | will
say that it depends on other things,
including money and help, the latter
being the most important.-Henry

WENT THROUGH THE SCENERY.
Distinguished Actors Swung Their
Swords to Good Effect.

W 0SOd GHCSAs
David Higgins recalls an amusing
story OF Lawrence Barrett and John
Mccullough when they were starring
together in the west. The manager OF
some out OF the way place in Colorado
got them to play an engagement with
him for lone night only" The stage
OF the theater was so small that there
was hardly standing room for the COM
pany. the flies being about two feet
above the actors heads. The bill was
Richard Ill.," and by the time they
came to the last scene the patience OF
both Mccullough and Barrett was ex-
hausted. But they had their revenge.
Just before they rushed on for the
"wind-up" between Richard and Rich
mond. Mccullough. who was playing
Richard, turned to Barrett.
How in thunder are we going to
swing our swords in that space?" he
asked.
Never mind" replied Barrett, "cut
the scenery down." And they did.
They went at each other with a ven
geance, and with every blow made a
cash in the flies or cut piece out of
one of the wings. When the fight was
finished and the victorious Richmond
stood over his PROSTATE foe, the flies
above him hung i'm ribbons and the
wings were total wrecks.

The Hillside Orchard.

In regard to our brother farmer
who is thinking of setting
his hillside grass land to APP
pie trees, would say: Pillow the land
and put it in good shape as early in
the spring as the ground is friable.
Set the trees and then for at least
three years use an abundance of we'll
rotted barnyard manure. Each year
cultivate the trees well till near the
middle OF July. Then SOW the land to
cow peas and then turn them under
after the frost has killed the vines.
The vines will help to keep the land
from washing and will furnish food
for the trees. Plenty of cultivation
and food Is what the trees want.-T.

TWlTCRlMG NERVES
A Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
5y Or. Williams Fink Pills.

by Dr. WilltamS RINK rms.
Sufferers from ailments that have af.
fiicted in regular succession one genera
ton after another of their family are, as
a rule, inclined to submit to them as in
evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefuness and readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, Of No. 40s
East Seventh street, Newton, Kansas,
gives the following account of her all
ment and her cure:
"For two years / suffered from trying
nervousness in my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother and my
grandmother had suffered before me.
The situation was for many years 40
copied as unavoidable because heredi-
tary. But about two years ago, when nv
son was realizing benefit from the use OF
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, thought there
might possibly be some good in them for
me. Ny trouble had then become so
serious rs to make il difficult for me 20
sleep. l often had to walk the floor in
restlessIess the whole night. After tax
ing some six boxes the twitching disap-
peared and ceased to use the remedy.
/ evidently stopped little too soon for
nervousness came back after month or
so and I used the pills again for shors
time. Relief came at once and since
stopped using them the second time I
have been free from any return OF the
twitchings or from any interference with
my sleep"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
the worst cases of bloodlessness, indiges-
ton, influenza, headaches, lumbago, sci.
atica, neuralgia, nervousness, spinal
weakness and the special ailments of girls
and women. For further information,

interest that attached to the charm
ing personality of the Presidents
daughter, it was indeed a truly impos-
ing function. Beside it the wedding
of Nellie Grant to Algernon Sartoris
more than thirty years ago seems in
deed of little moment The nation
was then just emerging from the
gloom of four years civil war. Times
were hard; foreign nations gave but
scant notice to land that had just
barely preserved its unity and was
billions In debt.
But to-day all is changed. Another
Presidents daughter is married. Kings
and potentates. senates and ruling as
semblages of all lands FASTENED to do
the bride honor and thereby to honor
her father and the great world power
over which he has been elected the

ent Every ruling sovereign was rep
resented in person. High officials
were there; gold lace tricked out
hundreds there. No American assem-
bIage gathered together ever had the
eclat of this.
But for all that, there was the pure
ly romantic side. 1t is a love match
pure and simple Young Mr.. Long
worth had to plead his suit very dill
gently. There were plenty of others
who might have aspired; many of
them far richer than this young Con-
gresham from Cincinnati. But it was
not a match for money. The Long
worths are well-to-do, but there are
thousands of richer persons in the
land. The Roosevelts are comfort
ably fixed, but by no amount of figur-
ing could any of the Presidents fam
fly be made out as any way approach
ing a fortune of million. Miss Alice
has an income herself of $4,000 year
from her mothers estate.
Young Mr.. Longworth first met Miss
Roosevelt when he came to Washing
ton to serve his first term as Con-
gresham, little over two years ago.
They were thrown together almost
from the first. and though gossip men,

ago, nothing was made public until
last December, when the President

In the morning he talked on "Irtem-

SLAMS 5-lS-"Be not drunk with wine,
wherein is excess, but be filled.with the
spirit" The subject was divided into
three thoughts; the evil of intemper-
ance, the causes Of intemperance and
the remedy for intemperance. Some
of the evils are; loss of health, an in
active brain and demoralizing to char
acter; some causes, hereditary, natur-
al depravity, association, and open S a
looms; remedies, first remove the causes
as many as possible and then depend
on Christ to help overcome all the temp
tations in the way.
