HORTICULTURAL NOTES,

Look for the brown-tail's nest al
winter.
Don't dig the autumn leaves into
your garden now: make compost
heap.
Prune trees for fruit In spring as
soon as leaves are about full grown {.
for wood growth in winter when dor
mant and wood is not frozen.
Do not delay in mulching the straw
berry beds, If not already done. Coarse
March hay Is best, but use straw OF
coarse litter rather than nothing.
Mice and rabbits sometimes burrow
into the snow and gnaw the bark O,
the fruit trees. Go around the orchard
and stamp the snow in around the
trees.
Pear cider, or perry, is made in ex,
actly the same way as apple cider
But perry is much less palatable than
apple cider, and has never become
popular in America.

of the plants, loOsening the roots or
the other. Then lay down the plants
in the direction from which the sol
was removed, and cover the head
lightly with earth.

Census Bulletin Tells Of Extensive I'm

Recent Years-Distribution
of the Industries.

Washington.-Thomas Commerford
Martin, expert special agent of the
bureau OF the census, has compiled a
report of the manufacture of electrical
machinery, apparatus and supplies, ac-
cording to the census of 1905, which
the department has made public In the
form of bulletin.
During the five-year period there
have been extensive improvements in
tho utilization of electricity and cleo
trical machinery and radical innova-
tions in electrical devices for general
USE" the report reads.
There have been increases since
1900 in all items, even in the number
of establishments, an item which In
most industries has been reduced by
the general tendency toward consoli-
dation. Tho percentages of gain are as
follows: In nunmBer of establishments,
$40 per cent; in capital, 1881 per
cent; in number of wage earners, 43.9
per cent; in amount of wages paid
SAT- per cent; in cost of materials,
35.1 per cent, and in value of prod
ucts, 52.3 per cent.
THE distribution of electrical man
ufacturing throughout the states has
remained the same in all essential re
spects at the two censuses. New
York, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Indiana
and New Jersey reported 6S1 Of the
