PRUNING TREES.
Proper treatment Of Roots and Top a
Planting Time.

Proper Treatment Of Roots and Top a
Planting Time.
All are agreed that trees intended
for orchard purposes are best II nurs-
cry grown. Nursery grown trees.
however. are produced under coudj.
tons which subject them to more or
less crowding. with the result that tho
normal development has been changed.
The planter should at planting time
have in mind the natural form and
habits of the plants with which he Is
dealing and should therefore use the
knife so as to bring about results
which Will allow the tree to assume Its
normal shape.
From the Nursery.
As the trees or plants are removed
from the nursery q greater or less pro-
portion OF the roots 10 necessarily lost
In the operation OF digging. II the
trees are large only the main roots Will
be left upon the plant, while II small
a very much larger proportion Of tho
fine fibrous feeding roots can be re-
tanned Then, too. the distance which
plants are removed has direct bssr.
Ing upon the amount Of root surface
which is left at planting time. Plants
which can be dug and Immediately re-
set suffer much less than do those
which have to be shipped long dis.
tances. The planter should take these
factors into consideration In pruning
the tree at planting time.
Growth Of the Branches.
As the growth Of the branches de-
ponds entirely upon the food supply
made available to them by the roots Of
the plant, 1t follows that In order that
the roots shall be able to furnish food
for the branches and leaves the area
of the top OF the tree must be reduced
in proportion to the loss which the root
has sustained-in fact the pruning OF
the top should be somewhat more Sc
we're than has been the pruning Of the
roots, because the demand for water
which Is made by the growing parts
cannot be so successfully met BY
newly transplanted tree as by one thor
oughly established.-L. G. Corbett.

and distribute with the shovel. Hair
a peck OF lime to the square rod would
give twenty bushels, or 1,40O pounds,
10 the acre. As lime absorbs nearly
one.fourth its weight OF water Ga per
cent? In shaking, this would give about
1.750 pounds of slaked or hydrated
lime per acre.
Slaked lime is disagreeable mate
rial to handle, but 1t is sometimes ap'
piled in this condition, being spread
from wagons, but any method OF hand
spreading involves irregularity In DIS
tribution and therefore a waste or ma
terial. Slaked lime may be successful
ly spread with the ordinary manure
spreader by first placing a quantity OF
litter on the spreader apron to prevent
the lime from sitting through and to
bring 1t within reach Of the teeth OF
the spreader and setting the apron TO
travel slowly.
The best manure spreaders are now
fitted with hoods and slow gearing
for lime spreading.
1t is very difficult to spread lime sat
isfactorily with the ordinary fertilizer
drill, because the fine powder packs
above the feeders and fails to run out
evenly. Moreover, these drills are not
usually made Of sufficient capacity to
apply more than about 500 pounds OF
material per acre.
The best form OF limo for this work
is tho ground quicklime which Is now
made by several manufacturers TOT
building purposes, 1t being more con-
venient to handle in this form than
in Jumps. Such lime can be used IN
the fertilizer drin when fresh ana
coarsely ground, though 1t usually con-
tains considerable fine dust, which IN
terferes with distribution by that In
plement.
The most satisfactory implement for
distributing lime is one made espe-
cially for that purpose. Such machines
are made by several manufacturers OF
fertilizer drills.

DEPOT IS BURNED
GEORGIA CENTRAL sUsTAINs LOSS
 AT HARTFORD.
Fire Discovered Burning Through Roof of structure--Tfckets, Freight and Express Matter Dam-
 aged--BooIka are Saved.

Hartford. June e.--(special. )-Fire was discovered Monday night about 7:45 o'clock, in the Central of Georgia depot. When discovered the flames were burning through the roof In sev- eral places and all thought the depot was doomed. The department was soon on hand and in a few minutes had two streams of water on the flames, quickly getting the blaze un. der control.
 It is not known how the ire origl- mated, as it caught between the ceil- ing and the roof in the ticket room. Overhead quite a large lot of old re- cords were kept, and in these the Ire is supposed to have started Every thing in the ticket ofiice was destroyed or badly damaged by fire or water, but the books were saved and in such shape that they can be balanced, The freight on hand was damaged consid- erably by water and smoke, and the express matter was also pretty badly damaged.
 The damage to the building will be between S750 and $1,000. The tele- graph instruments were all burned out It. Is fortunate that the fire was dis covered as early as 1t was, for had the fire been a little longer In breaking through, there would have been no depot in Hartford this morning.

 There were several cases upon the civil docket of the city court yester- to have the cases tried, but two juries of the court were hung upon the first cases tried. One of the juries stayed In its box all day.
 The case of W. M. Hudson vs. Jacob Peppernan for damages sustained in an accident in which MT. Pepperman ran over Mir. Hudson at the corner of Dexter Avenue and South Lawrence Streets was first called. The plaintiff sued to recover $500 damages.
 The evidence in the case was gone into thoroughly and the jury after de- liberated until 4:30 o'clock in the aft- ernoon returned a verdict for the de- fendant. The accident was a most peculiar one. MT. Pepperman was rum ming his auto ct a moderate speed rounding the corner at the postoffice from Dexter Avenue There were sew eral vehicles and a street car at the corner at the same time, and Mir Hud. son was knocked down by the machine.
 Mir. Pepperman stopped his car im- mediately and caused Mir. Hudson to oc ChtElc0 tO Hi1 nOhAc HI q
 The second case to occupy the time of the court was that of Nathan He'll ner vs. the Firemen's Fund Insurance Company in a suit involving $S,5oo. The evidence in this case was very technical. and the jury requested the judge to pass upon several points of law during their deliberations. The jury finally reported their verdict about s:3o o'clock. giving Mir. Heiiner $e.4s5.ss.
 The case of T. J. pavis vs. the Louisville and Nashville railroad was to have been called at yesterdays ses- sion of the court, but on account of the hung juries was made the first business of the court at their session this morning.

BIRMINGHAM IS FILLED.
Estimated There are 25,000 visitors- Evans VIII be Elected

Esfimated There are 25,0O0 visitors--
 Evans VIII be Elected.
 Birmingham, Ala. June 9.--It is con servativeiy estimated tonight that there are no less than 25.o00 visitors in Bir- ntngham attending the annual re- union of the United Confederate Vet erans which began here today. Of this number it is thought about 5000 are veterans.
 In addition to the first sessions Of the veterans convention which were held today there were meetings of the Sons of Veterans, the Confederate Sur. geons Association: the Confederate Memorial Association and other organ. isations allied to the veterans in one way or another.
 It was thought last night that the greater portion of the crowd had arr rived, but every train today has brought additional hundreds. so that the city's capacity for taking care Of them has been severely taxed.
 There was little done at the sessions of the veterans today, the time being given over to organization and wet come addresses.
 Next Meeting Place.
 Tomorrow is probably the most im- portant day of the reunion. At that time commander-in-ch will be elected to succeed the late General Stephen D. Lee, and the place for the next reunion will be selected. Chat tanooga. Atlanta and Houston are the contestants for the latter honor. and it is impossible to determine tonight which city has the lead.
 It Is now believed that General Cle- ment A. Evans, comma nder of the de- partment of Tennessee will be elected commander-in-chief of the veterans. General Cabelfs name is still used in this connection, and General Gordon of Memphis is also a prominent candidate but indications tonight are that Gen eral Evans has the strongest support When the business sessions of the veterans had concluded this afternoon there was general assembling at Capital Park which Is near the heart of the city, where several bands gave concerts and where the veterans re- newed old acquaintances and enjoyed a general handshaking. At this beau tiful park plenty of seats had been provided and grandstands had been erected almost entirely around 1t, Here thousands congregated and enjoyed seeing the old heroes hold their re- unions with each other and hundreds of the younger visitors assisted the old men in locating friends or comrades. 'sDixie" Captures Town. One of the features of the afternoon 1 was happy thought of the visiting bands. The total membership of all the visiting bands is probably more than two hundred. This afternoon they formed at Capital Park and the entire body marched through the down town streets playing Dixie" They gathered the crowd as they marched afon1s, and 1t developed into a spon- taneous parade, which was cheered to the echo from every direction and which made a remarkable appeal to the sentiment of every person on the streets.
 At the State Fair Grounds tonight where hotel John R. Gordon. is located, the veterans assembled to see a grand display of fire works and listen to further concerts by the reunion bands.
