THE STORY.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Cañon City record., 1908-01-16

large amount Of bearing surface Is
secured. Dwarf pear trees are often
planted as close as ten feet apart each
way, making 435 trees to the acre. At
this distance, the trees will be too
close together; IS feet each way, or
1913 trees to the acre, would no doubt
be preferable.
The culture of dwarf pear trees does
not differ from that of standards, but
it is usually thought that the ounce
stock will thrive better in heavy soils.
Any variety of pear may be dwarf
ed; the kinds most commonly propa-
gated in this way are, first of all, the
"Anjouleme." This variety takes first
rank, no doubt, because of the large
size of the fruits when full grown.
Other popular kinds are the Louise"
"Anjou," "Clairgeau," and, to a GER
tain extent, the Bartlett" and the
"Seckel."

A. c. JENSEN TO REMODEL
THE MASONIC BLOCK

Plans have been drawn by A. c.
Jensen, the architect, for the remod-
cling of the Masonic building at
the southeast corner OF Sixth and
Main streets and work will begin in
a few days upon the proposed i'm
provement, which will add greatly to
its outside appearance, as well as Its
interior convenience.
The front OF the building will be
rendered far more attractive than it Ii
at present by the substitution OF Q
central entrance for the one now in
use and by new and more capacious
plate glass windows. The wall for a
distance OF fifteen feet back on Sixth
street will be torn out and a huge
plate glass window put In which will
give the structure a somewhat SINH
lar appearance to that of the Baker 4
Biggs building.
The interior OF the lower story will
be converted into one immense room
and will be thoroughly modernized in
all respects. The plane prepared by
Mr.. Jensen are very attractive and
when carried out, will transform the
building into an up-to-date structure
that will make the public "sit up and
take notice" On account of the ur-
gency Of the prospective tenants OF the
lower floor the transformation will be
made with all possible dispatch.

SUCCESSFUL GROWING
OF DWARF PEARS

Since the advent of the San Jose
scale much interest has been taken in
dwarf fruits, particularly in the east,
the reason being that with small
pests may be more easily combatted.
Then, dwarfing induces early bearing,
and with pears in particular extra
size and quality are secured because
of the greater ease with which small
trees may be pruned. thinned and
sprayed.
Dwarf pear trees, however, have
been in much favor with eastern Or
chardists for many years, and many
large and profitable orchards are of
this kind. Some of them are profit
able and the trees are in good condi-
ton after having been planted fifty
years. This does not bear out the
common notion that dwarf trees are
short lived.
There is no mystery connected with
the dwarfing of trees. Cions of stand
ard varieties are grated or budded on
small growing species within the fam
lily, or upon dwarf forms of the same
species. In the case of pears the
stock used is the ounce. The ounce
is slow growing and seldom attains a
height Of more than twelve feet; usu-
ally less. Some varieties of pears will
not unite with the ounce, so what is
known as double working" is re-
sorted to. This consists first in graft
ing pear variety which is known to
unite with the ounce, such as the Vi
car; then. when this has attained suf-
fcient size. again grating to the de-
sired kind.
Dwarf pears should be planted deep
er than standards; the union OF cion
and stock should be at least four
inches below the surface Of the
ground. This is largely for the pur-
pose of protecting the tree from
breaking, as the union between stock
and cion is never too perfect. Some
think it an advantage to have the pear
cion take root, as this results in a
stronger tree. While this ia true, 1t
has the disadvantage of requiring
more vigorous pruning OF the top in
order to prevent the tree from becom-
ing too tall. In some instances 1t ID
desirable to prune the roots we'll, but
this is not a difficult matter since they
are formed so near the surface Of the
ground.
Dwarf pears should not be allowed
to attain a height greater than twelve
feet. else the end sought in planting
them will be defeated. Severe pruning
must usually be practiced. often a.

lie that the old orchard needs some
form Of fertilizer, and from previous
experience In eastern states. at once
think Of commercial fsrtilizers. How
ever, the use Of commercial fertilizers
would probably prove discouraglng
under Colorado soil conditions. Many
fail to realize that comparatively few
commercial fertilizers are soluble In
water. They must be decomposed by
other elements In the soil. To facili-
tate this decomposition the soil should
be abundantly supplied with decaying
organic matter. Soils Of the arid re-
gions are very deficient in vegetable
matter. and until It II supplied, appli-
cations Of commercial fertilizers can
not be expected to give satisfactory
or profitable returns. Not only this.
but our Colorado soils contain an
abundance Of mineral matter. and II
supplied with organic matter to aid
In dissolving the minerals, become
abundantly fertile. Growers will soon
come to the plan Of sowing crops in
the orchard in late summer to be
turned under the following winter.
This Incorporation OF organic matter
will not only enhance the fertility OF
tho soil. but render the heavy soils
more friabie and increase the water
holding capacity Of some Of our sandy
mesa land.

again this year. This diminutive car held two
doll passengers, the chauffeur and his lady.
You wound 1t up. and 1t sped along the floor
right merrily for few yards when suddenly
there was a terrible shock-the catastrophe!
The car came to pieces, and the unfortunate oc.
cupants were hurled into the air and fell in
pitful heaps beside the machine. Sometimes
the realism was so intense that the luckless
motorists fell under the shattered machine and
then their fate was too horrible to dwell upon
You picked up the pieces and put them to-
gether and revived the doll corpses, and set
the car going again, and so on. You could
have the most exciting accidents all day long.
But automobiles are vieux jeu now, and even
steering balloons OF the Santos Dumont type
no longer find favor with the toy manufac-
turers. This Christmas the Petit Noel-who Is

- but in the course of cnne even this
phase Of Toyand may undergo
\ change Games bid fair to become extremely
popular. Diabolo, or 1.-The devil on two sticks,
has already captured Paris, and the demand
in London suggests the likelihood Of its be-
coming a great craze there
At a moment when the toy industry in France
is on the wane, the famous carcaturist Caran
d'Ache comes to the rescue. BEING medically
forbidden to follow his art, he turned, as
hobby, to making wooden animals Unable to
Tepress the humorous strain in his SOUL he i'm
parted to his creations a mirth-pro gokng char
acteT which has already made them the rage OF
Paris; and to Judge from the Burlington Ar
cade they will ere long become quite a craze
In London.
From the cheap mechanical toy which i'm
pedes our progress through the streets, as dis
played on the pavement by the enterprising
camelot, to the wonderful creations which the
Main Bleu that paradise of French children
for nearly a century, has provided for the pam
pered darlings Of the wealthy, the predominant
ing element in the French toy of to-day Is
mechanical ingenuity. Never has this been
more noticeable than in the novelties which the
manufacturers are preparing for the coming
holidays.
The average French makei OF toys scornE
to offer the little ones such simple things as
our childhood knew; and the wooden doll and
woolly baalamb are to be found only in the
poorer districts. Dolls made Of wood there
are, but the wood is only casing for wonder
full works, and the lamb must be lifesise, and
able at least to frisk.
Among the more expensive toys and one
which will give the small boy with gun an
opportunity to prove himself a crack shot. IL
the pigeon shooting device. which is an attrac-
tive novelty. Upon pole about eight feet In
height a cross-bar Is affixed. much after tho
fashion OF a parrots perch. except that the
crosspiece ia mobile. and is made to swing
