MULcHING THE ORCHARD.
A Task Which Will Reap the Reward
in More Fruit.

- 3 T. D p ~ o. r- ~ 3 4
Trees need food in order. to do their,
best, for tree. is simply a big plant
and so needs more food than thousands
of little plants. A tree that will pro-
duce 40 bushels of apples during
good apple year, and say an average
Of Is bushels every year, is certainly
taking more from the soil than it can
return. Yet SO many farmers persist
not only in giving such a tree no food
but in cutting and hauling away all
the material that grows near it. No
wonder the tree 1eases to yield re-
munerative crops. f .s#
Let him give such trees mulch OF
stable manure during the. winter
months. Scatter it thickly and in a
circle reaching somewhat beyond the
limbs. II the orchard is to be culti-
waited, Orange Judd Farmer suggests
that it be p1oWed under the next
spring. If not, let it lie as a mulch.
At any rate do not attempt to grow
another crop in a large orchard unless
it is to be left on the ground. a few
years fertilizing. with pruning and
spraying, will render the old orchards
the most remunerative lot on the farm.
II the orchard Is young and the ground
rich the mulch would better be Of
straw or coarse manure and applied
more for protectio Ion and to hold moist
,lre than for ferti tilizer.

Top Grating.

branches. No two should be left to
grow which are directly opposite.
They make weak top and are al
ways liable to split down. A good
rule says: Leave the branch that
joins the trunk, as the thumb does
the hand and never let one of two
which join like the fingers
! Top grating is used to convert
large trees bearing worthless fruit
into desirable trees, says Farmers
voice. The process is simple, but,
like root grating, requires expert
ence for complete success. To top
graft tree saw off limbs where
they are one inch or little more in
diameter. Carefully split the stock
with a strong knife by driving it
with a mallet. Then drive wedge
in the center to keep the cleft open
with scions of the desired variety,
which have been previously prepared,
are inserted (A), the wedge is then
removed and the wound and ends Of
the scions covered with grating wax
to keep out the air co.. r
Scions used in top grating (B)
are about two inches long, having one
or more buds and made wedge shaped
at the lower end. In inserting the
scion care must be taken that it's
cambium layer comedies with that Of
the stock or no growth will result.
Several limbs should be left ungraft-
ed the first wear to insure a healthy
growth of the tree. They may be
grated the next year. In three years
all the old fruit bearing wood may be
removed, leaving only that of the de-
sired variety, and if care is taken a
shapely tree will result. This style
of grating is often resorted to to
improve the shape Of the trees. It
is done in early spring before the
buds start.

Purple Raspberries.

Purple raspberries are intermediate
IN character between red raspberries
and black raspberries. They are sup
posed to be hybrids between these two
species. They show all gradations in
habit between the two parent types,
some being propagated by suckers,
others by tips, and still others by eth
8er tips or suckers . The color OF the
fruit is usually a light or dark purple.
OF the varieties described, says Farm
journal, only two, Columbian and
Shaffer, at the present time appear to
ave any commercial value.

PRUNING-TOP-GRAFTING.
How Poor Grade Of Fruit Trees Can
Be Greatly Improved.

Upon the style of pruning in the
nursery row depends largely the fu-
ture shape of the tree. The present
tendency is to head apples low and
to open up the center of the trees as
much as possible. Low heading
brings the fruit nearer the ground,
making it much more convenient to
spray and harvest, while the open cen
ter admits sunlight, which gives
color to the fruit and assists in con-
trolling diseases To prune for this
shape, start the head about two feet
from the ground, allowing four or five
branches to grow, and prune so as to
throw them away from the center
rather than toward it, by cutting out
most of the shoots which lead toward
the center. The main feature of
nursery pruning is to select the right

TRIAL FOR HIGH TREASON
CASE OF 1es MEMBERS OF FIRST
RUSSIAN DUMA OPENS.
Verdict Of Guilty Seems to BE Certain
But the Defendants Expect a
Light Sentence.

et. Petersburg, Dec. 25.-The trial
Of 1863 members Of the first duma who
signed the Viborg manifesto about 10
months ago, calling upon the citizens
Of Russia to stand up for their rights,
for popular representation and for an
imperial parliament, begins Wednes,
day before the court of appeals.
The former duma members are
charged with high treason and with
the PRONUNCIATION Of an appeal to the
people calling upon them to refuse
to pay taxes or serve In the army or
navy.
The verdict Of guilty is anticipated.
as the gist of the accusation is estab-
lished by the text Of the manifesto.
and only technical defense can be
interposed. But there is no reason
to anticipate the infection of the
maximum penalty, which Is death.
The majority of the defendants have
abandoned all hope of acquittal, but
are looking forward to a light SEN
tence. such as years Imprisonment
or some similar punishment.
The prominence of the accused,
however, among whom. are Prof. Serge
Mourmmtseff. former president of the
lower house; M. Petrunkevitch and
many other liberal leaders, and the
total ineffectiveness Of the viborg ap.
peal may induce the government to
further leniency.
Seven of the leading lawyers Of Rus.
STA, headed by Vassii Maklakoff, the
leader of the Constitutional Democrats
In the second duma, and M. Tslenko
will appear for the defense. The trial
ls expected to last ten days.

INfLlCT PENALTY
ON ex-governor
FOR LEAVING NATIVE BOUND uN.
TIL DEAD OF EXHAUSTION,
HORN Ia FINED SIS.
IS TRANSFERRED
TO ANOTHER POST
Additional Condition Imposed-Mueh
Criticism Of the Act Especially
..r Among Socialists and in the Reich
stag-case Re-opened.

Berlin, Dec. 24.-Ex-Gov. Horn Of
Togoland was Monday sentenced to
fine of 375 and costs and to be trans
ferred to another post for the ill-treat.
ment of a native in Togoland in 1903.
Tho charge against Horn was that he
caused the death of q man named
Zedu by having him bound to a flag
staff and leaving him there without
food or drink for "a hours. Horn was
first tried for this offense several
months aftsrward by the superior Co,
ionial court at Dualla and fined 1925.
There has been much criticism in
Germany. especially on the part of the
socialist speakers in the reichstag, Of
this sentence, which was regarded as
too light. @.
Reopened by Bulow.
Owing apparently to these criticisms
Chancellor Bulow about two years ago
ordered a reopening of the case by the
imperial disciplinary court for the
colonies at Berlin. The case came up
for trial two weeks ago. 1t was shown
that the facts III the case as brought
out by the Dualla court were as fol-
lows:
Zedu was arrested upon the suspic-
ion Of having stolen the cashbox of
one of the German stations. Horn
thereupon had Zedu's elbows, wrists
and feet tied tightly together and the
man bound to flagstaff in the sun,
and it could not be shown that either
food or water was given to him. The
next morning Horn found Zedu in an
exhausted condition. but left him bound
still and marched away with his native
troops. Capt. Doring, who accom-
panied Horn part of the way, was or
dered to return to the station to re-
lease Zedu. Doring tried to revive the
native by pouring cold water on him,
but he died a half-hour later from
sheer exhaustion.
Watched Man Howl with Pain.
At the trial, December il, Horn as
serted that he was not conscious of
having done any wrong. Doring then
testified that while Zedu was bowling
with pain at the Flagstaff Horn stood
on the veranda Of the station house and
exclaimed:
What Gallons hog!"
During the trial the presiding Judge
read several DEGREES by Chancellor
Bulow ordering the colonial governors
to treat the natives with mildness and
Justice.
