CuItivatinR Young Trees.

The soil will dry very rapidly and to
a great depth If allowed to get harf
and compact. There is but small
space left for air in solid soils, and
from this fact they become hot and dry
to a great depth In summer, while If
air is present, as it is in loose soils (be-
Ing such poor conductor of heat), IL
will allow only small portion of soil
to become hot, which soon cools at
night and is filed with a copious dew,
not Only retaining the moisture al
ready in the soil, but also adding to Il
at a season when moisture Is especially
desirable. Newly set trees are always
benefited by cultivation, because ALI
their roots are surface roots and cam
not thrive in a hot, dry, compact soil,
hence the necessity OF summer surface
cultivation of newly set trees.

San Francisco, May 8.-Wslter C.
Davis, carpenter, in fit Of insanity,
shot and killed family of six persons
with whom he resided in this city.
The dead are Orson R. Bush aged
fifty-seven, his wife and their young
son; w. S. Bard, a carpenter; M. E.
linton, a surveyor, and Mrs. Lillian D.
Carothers, an elderly woman who
boarded in this house.
$, One lodger'@in the house ESCAPED
She was girl of seventeen. Davis
pointed his gun at her and was pre-.
pairing to shoot when he said she re.
sembled his daughter, so he spared
her life.
Davis and his victims all resided
with the Rush family, who conducted
a clearinghouse. Davis home was in
Farmersville, near Visalia, this state,
where he has wife and six children.
He has been working here as car.
penter since the fire.
The shooting was done with a dou.
BILE barreled shotgun. Davis, who
slept in the same room with young
Bush and Bard, arose shortly after S
a. m. and, after arming himself with
the gun, shot his two roommates.
Then he visited each room in turn,
killing the occupants.
The shots attracted a large crowd
and rush was made upon Davis as
he was attempting to reload his
weapon and he was overpowered and
turned over to the police and taken to
the detention ward of the hospital.
Davis fancied that the people in the
house, had formed plot to kill him
and take his money.
