key, caused considerable excitement at
the Vatican yesterday, and resulted final.
" in his expulsion from the Vatican

For some time past this priest, who
is 81 years old, has insisted upon an
audience with the pope, claiming that
he desired the redress Of certain wrongs
which he declared he had suffered at the
hands Of the Vatican An audience was
denied, the authorities considering that
the mans claim did not justify personal
hearing.
Yesterday Sayigny placed himself at
RafaePs lodge point where the pope
was expected to pass. When the pontiiT
approached the gendarmes asked the
priest to move on This the man refused
to do and he began to shout and gesticu.

considerable alarm among number of
pilgrims who had just been received by
the pope.

The trees should not be planted

Dirt should be well packed about their

Between the trees crops OF potatoes
or small fruits may be grown. Clean
culture is essential to prevent Infection
BY insects and fungous diseases. The
trees should be watched carefully for
borers, which eat in the trunk. These
can be dug out with knife or killed
BY poking q wire into the aperture.
The trees give best satisfaction when
headed low, SO careful pruning is es-
sental. 1t is we'll TO see that the
trunk is shaded on the southwest by
a healthy limb, which will prevent sun
