Count Zeppelin served with the
Union Army during the Civil War
and made his first ascent In an army
balloon with members OF the Engi,
neering Corps of the Northern army.
His love OF seronautics dated from
that time.
In his new aircraft Count Zeppelin
and crew OF IA remained In air IL
hours, traversed the greater part Of
Northern Switzerland and visited
Lucerne, Winterthur and Zurich.
The averageIspeed was 81 miles an
hour. The airship responded per.
iectly to the helm and lived up to
stability expected. The greatest al
titude was $500 feet and distance
covered was 900 miles as the crow
files.
The balloon is the latest OF the
dirigible series on which the Count
has expended his whole private for.
tune. He showed such success that
the Kaiser supplied funds for the la.
test experiments.

Jacob Faith Tells Of Fruit Bud
Forming.
To the Southwest Mall.

To the Southwest Mall.
Often the question is asked, In
what time Of the year do such and
such trees and vines form fruit buds?
Strawberries develop fruit buds In
fall for the next years crop. Rasp.
berries, blackberries, grapes and al
most ell OF what are called small
small fruit from fruit buds in spring.
Apple trees and almost all other
trees form fruit buds In the fell,
mostly during the months Of July,
August and September, owing to
the season. In dry weather they
will form buds earlier and often In
case of wet weather change fruit
buds, when not fully developed, into
leaf buds. II trees are injured by
rabbits, mice, borers and by too
deep blowing close to the trees, thus
cutting many surface roots, their
growth Is checked and their vitality
injured, which causes the tree to form
too many fruit buds. A tree very
badly injured may leaf out In the
spring, bloom very full, may hall
mature the fruit and die; then most
people are ready to say that tree
bore itself to death, when the death
blow that nearly killed 1t months
before. = JACOB FAITH.
