Congressman Charles n. Fowler OF
New Jersey, chairman OF the u
committee on banking and currency In
the last congress and also the present
and author Of the much discussed
Fowler currency bill, recently gained
special prominence by his criticism OF
the measures taken by the administra-

FIVE years ago, was graduated from
Yale and first chosen to congress In
1894 from the Fifth district Of New
Jersey. The committee OF which he Is
chairman Is known as the sixteen to
one committee because of the fact that
1t has seventeen members. each OF
whom usually has a currency plan of
his own, so that when any member
advances a proposition embodying his
ideas the rest vote against ii, sixteen

weather, thereby keeping the roads
wet too long where there is too much

there are trees on the roads, the snow
accumulates. piles up too much in
windy weather. making it difficult
and sometimes dangerous to travel,

In order to see what effect this sys-
tenn of pruning might have on the
growth of trees it IS reported that so
Mountain Rose trees were divided into
four lots. Different methods of prun-
ing were as follows:
Lot 1 were pruned to whips.
Lot were pruned so that about five
stubs were left, each about one inch
long so that there was one bud on
each side branch
Lot were pruned so that five stubs
were left. each stub being about three
inches long.
Lot 4 were pruned so that one-third
of the top of each tree was removed

BY this method the heads were left

by Prof. Warren shows that the Sc

successful. 1t was found that of the

ious meetings and the harvest OF CON

the history of the country since 1857.
IN that year occurred n religious
movement that has become historic
by virtue OF its intensity and scope.
Considered In proportion to population
then and now. the movement OF 1857
O<obably was as important as the one

the revival movement that is abroad

The history OF religious movements
OF this kind shows that they almost
invariably have followed on the heels

deep industrial distress. In the Unit

true.

background as never before.
This elimination of sectarianism in
the evangelical movement may be
either cause or effect-even the evan
gelists differ on this point Some say
that the movement Is unprecedentedly
strong because those lines are being
ignored, while others protest that they
are being ignored because the gen
eral revival spirit is so strong.
What the Evanselsts Say.
II you ask one OF the evangelists
who are making big successes in the
revival field for the cause Of the pres
emit movement he will tell you that 1t
is answer to prayer. This is what
Rev. A C. Dixon said:
I'VE who believe in the efficacy Of
prayer believe that God Is answering
the petitions that have been going up
for ten years all over the earth for q
worldwide revival of religion. AL
though the non-church population does
not know it, the fact Is that Christians
for a decade have prayed persistent
ly, earnestly and confidently for just
such a movement as Is now in prog
ress. We are still praying and the
movement is increasing. How much
stronger it will get only God knows.
But realize this answer will not
satisfy those who do not believe in
prayer. The unchurched. while forced
by what they see to admit the strength
and scope of the present revival move
ment, demand other reasons for its
existence. And there probably are
other reasons. History shows US that
faith comes in waves. For some years
we have had the higher criticism. and

RENEWING OLD ORCHARDS.
How Pruning and Cultivation viii
Give New Life to Trees.

Altogether the most profitable orch

or at least put out in the mod, IN
method. They are composed of strodg,
healthy. vigorous trees which pIac-
tically cover the ground and anne ng
which there are no blanks. On many
farms, however. there are smaller or
larger tracts of old orchard, many of
which are worthless and many more
of which are not distinctly profital lie.
Some OF these old orchards could be
rejuvenated. They could be brought
into reasonably good bearing and to a
point where they would really pay a
profit Now the rejuvenation Of an
old orchard is fairly simple matt er.
providing it Is properly understood,
says Country Gentleman. The imLor-
tant point Is that 1t does not cons list
in the application of any single lat
ent remedy. Spraying will not do the
work; pruning will not cure all the
troubles; tillage alone will be worth
very little; the only way to get the
desired result is to apply prayer
methods all along the line. The soil
should be loosened up and proper
drainage provided. The trunks SHOULD
be scraped clean and spread with cop
per sulfate or Bordeaux mixture. Old
dead limbs should be cut out. A rea-
sonable but not excessive pruning
should be given. Thorough spraying
should be undertaken. In case the
trees are OF mixed or Improbable va
rieties, they should be regrafted to
standard sorts. 1t is not likely that
additional plant food will be required
at first, except on soils very much de-
pleted- An orchard taken vigorously
in hand in the matter OF tillage, prun-
ing and spraying is apt to start into
strong growth at once; and if a
good deal OF raw fertilizer is applied,
there may easily be more growth than
is desirable. However, one must keep
his eyes open, and in case the trees
show the want of more food, it should
be given. 1t is really comparatively
easy matter. il all these things are
Systematically attended to, to bring an
old orchard round. It requires from
two to five years to do 1t, depending
on the condition of things when the
matter is taken in hand.
