an offer to completely and rapidly rid the camp of the

pose to continue the work until such a time as there re-
mains only a hard working force of good miners who will
not be interfered with or be led by undesirables.
"Last hummer when ! was in Goldfeld 1 spent 81 200 in
securing transportation for a number of members of the
organization whom it was thought best to send away from
camp. These men are now away from here and there re-
main, but 2 mail number who we believe should no longer
have a hand in affairs here.

that there will be no more trouble and that Gold6eld will
remain a union camp and a camp only Of good. wen.intend.

SAVE THE OLD TREES.
Efforts Which Are Being Put Forth In
Pennsylvania to Preserve Handsome
Patriarchs.

One of the unique fads that has en-
gagged the attention Of Pennsylvania
horticulturists and landscape garden
ers is found in the modern doctoring
of beautiful old trees, which decorate
well-known country seats along the
main line. Handsome patriarchs OF
the original forest now stand stately.
and secure upon many lawns (pre-
served by wise though curious treat
ment) that would have been sacri-
feed had not stringent measures been
resorted to. The amputation az dead
or diseased limbs Is no longer left for
the wound to invite further decay
from the action of the elements. De-
caying cavities in handsome old tree
trunks are as systematically cleaned
and filled as are the cavities that re.
ceive attention under the care Of
a modern dentist. Where the upper
surfaces of wide-spreading branches
have the bark worn and decaying all
along the limb with little hollows
here and there that hold the damp
ness Of dew and rain, actual tin roofs
are now applied along the entire up
Der surface of the big limbs.

RENTED GARDEN A WINNER.
How the Town Resident May Be Able
to Engage In Profitable Gardening.

For those who have not a suitable
back yard It Is frequently possible to
rent a vacant lot close by, which can
be very profitably tended and made to
give an excellent supply Of vegetables
through the entire summer. A lot 50x
60 feet was rented by one Of our con-
tributors for three dollars for the
summer, says Orange Judd Farmer.
Buildings shaded a portion of the
ground. where cucumbers, squash and
pumpkins were planted. The season
was wet and late, but on March IT
first planting was made Of one-half
peck of early potatoes, beds Of rad
ishes, lettuce and. onions. The re-
mainder was planted about May
and as the ground was in very dry
location It was necessary to irrigate
1t twice with q garden hose at an ex-
pense of $3.50 for water and rent Of
. hose.
The cultivation was shallow and
nat; frequent hoeings stirred the
ground. AS soon as vines began to
grow, beans and cucumbers were
mulCneU Win lawn IHowih6s, which III
sured clean products. On May 25 let
tuce, radishes and green onions were
on the table from this garden, on June
Is potatoes and green peas.
The products of this little area were
as follows: Six bushels potatoes,
three bushels sweet potatoes, two
bushels tomatoes, "a cabhages, 20
dozen green corn, seven pounds let
tuce, nine dozen radishes, three bush
els turnips. FIVE bushels beans. two
gallons onions. seven pumpkins, three
squashes, six muskmelons. two pecks
peas. At market values these would
have cost $25. But grown in the gar
den the actual cost was five dollars
plus the labor expended.

months and the child was well. I

Smoking Out the Bugs.

sect is the host for the majority Of
insects which destroy other aphidos.
In his way, ladybugs and other In
sects will become 20 numerous that
they will ordinarily take care OF the
melon aphis. The rape should be left
to grow until the cantaloups are har-
vested.
The aphis can be killed on the Vines
by fumigating with tobacco smoke.
For vines two or three feet long,
make light frame four feet wide and
six feet long, to which attach eight
inch legs. Cover this with a good
grade of muslin, cut two feet longer
and two feet wider than the frame, so
that it will cover the sides and lap on
the ground Earth may be placed on
The lap to keep the smoke and gas
from escaping.
After the cloth has been sewed and
cut to the size desired, 1t should be
saturated with linseed oil, then
wrung out, slightly dried and nailed
to the frame. For field work, make
up at least ten frames, which one man
can attend to.
Place the frame over the infested
plant. Take some fumigating tobacco
paper made for the purpose and put
4 piece in a tin can, which has per
forations at the bottom edge, made by
driving a large nail through the side
and place each can In opposite corners
of the frame, but not on the vine;
light according to directions. BY this
time many Of the beneficial insects
have escaped from under the cover.
With a trowel or other convenient
small tool place little dirt on the
border of the cloth which lies on the
ground to prevent the escape Of gas
The frame should remain in position
long enough to suffocate all aphis
under 1t, which is usually from three
to 80 minutes. One man should have
enough frame to handle SO that each
one in succession may remain on q
vine during the above time.

THINNING FRUITS.
Value Of the Practice Fully Apprs'
cIatsd by European Fruit Growers.


e. p. Sandsten, while associate hor-
ticulturist at the Maryland station.
In 4 communication to fruit growers,
said: The practice Of thinning fruit
has long been known to the fruit
growers Of Europe, and off-years In
fruit with them are almost unknown.
In America, where the desire Is to
produce quantity rather than quality.
the practice IL generally looked upon
with disfavor. OF late years, how
ever, the practice has been taken up
by most of our successful fruit grow
ers, and the concensus Of opinions II
that thinning pays well.
The most successful grower now
adays is not the one that raises the
largest quantity of peaches or apples,
but the one that produces the finest
and highest quality Of fruit. Superior
fruit cannot be obtained from a tree
that is overloaded with fruit The
capacity Of tree is limited, and that
capacity cannot be exceeded, no mat
ter how many fruits may be set. II
many fruits are set and are allowed
to remain, che energies OF the tree
are spread out over the large num-
Der, and few, II any. will reach the
limit of their possible growth. II.
on the other hand, one-half or two
thirds Of the fruits are removed, the
remaining ones will bare an oppor-
tunity to develop to FORMAL size.
Moreover, the vitality Of the tree
is greatly preserved by such a reduc-
ton, since 1t is not the size OF the
fruit that impairs the Vitality of the
tree, but the number of seeds that are
allowed to mature. BY removing one
half or more of the young fruits, we
do not only make It possible for the
tree to produce larger and inner
fruit, but we also preserve the vigor
and longevity Of the tree.
Judicious thinning makes It pos
sible In many cases to produce crop
of fruit every year and still keep the
tree In q good state Of health. Thin
ming also tends to produce better col
ored fruit; as 1t permits the sun to
reach many places that otherwise
would not be reached. It also per-
mits freer circulation Of the air.
Thinning will in large measure les
sen the heavy losses occasioned by
rotting of the fruit The fruit VIII be
further apart, and there will be lit
tie or no chance for the fruits to
touch each other. Thinning prevents
the breaking down of the trees and
tends to keep the shape Of the trees
in orchards more uniform.
