The California circuit, which will open
at Oakland Saturday, and Santa Anita,
where the season will commence at the
flag end of the month"; will get major
ity of the better animals. More than
one owner, it is said, has signified his in
tention of keeping his racers on the coast
next season. arguing that when the in
crease in the price of forage and the
heavy cost of transportation are taken
into consideration il will be too hazardous
j financially to bring his stables to the
east and to compete for the small purses
which it is believed VIII be again the
rule next season, if, indeed, any purses
be offered.
There was lacking today among the
handful of regulars at Jamaica any
hopefulness for next season. In fact the
belief seemed general that the sport
ofw kings the only oasis in the desert
of uncertainty lay in the near eastern
southern and western tracks, and there
was prevalent fear lest what seemed
al. oasis in the south might turn out TO
be a mirage, owing to the reform move
ment there. There also was renewed COM
ment this afternoon concerning the traus-
fer of a number of the best horses in

cultivated and wild ucrrants, goose
berries and raspberry bushes growing
in North Dakota that ave not born
fruit for years, and never will if left
unpruned. Why havn't they born
fruit? The soil is rich enough.
They have too much top for the
moisture within reach of the roots.
How can you make them produce
fruit? Cut away all the shoots ex-
cepting three or four of the straight
est, most healthy and vigorous ones.
Ever after this keep them pruned.
The best plan in our arid region
is to trim all trees, bushes, berries
and flower shrubs in the single stem,
single head pyrmid tree form. This
mode Of pruning will cause the tree
to adapt itself to the amount of
moisture. Under this management
the main business of the trees and
bushes will be to produce flowers
and fruits.
The same rules of pruning that
apply to producing fruit apply also
to preserving the life and health of
the tree. To this may be added thin
ming the fruit when it is overloaded.

Mr.. Taft's Personality.

Henry Litchfeld West, in the April
Forum: If considerable space is de-
voted to Mr.. Taft and his candidacy it
is because he stands at the present
writing in the most favorable position
to secure the nomination. What man
ner of man is Taft? He is of hefty
build, keeping his weight below $50
pounds only by the most assidious eff
fort. He is above the average height,
so that his weight is distributed over
a large frame, and the appearance of a
powerful physique which he presents
is not belied by his actual condition.
He has constitution of great rugged.

travel and fatigue. Like most large

when those bottom lands will supply
North Dakota with all the fruit she
can use and some to sell to British
America. Under cultivation, pruning
and irrigation our bottom lands will
produce wonders.
The writer can show you thous-
ands of fruit patches that are locat-
ed in the most favorable places for
growing trees and fruits, that has
not born fruit for years, and will not
until severely pruned.
Take your axe and saw this spring,
now, while you have time, go to your
barren fruit patch, cut out the dy-
ing, crooked and imperfect trees and
bushes, prune each tree to lone
straight stem with a single head,
cut back all branches until you are
positive there will be plenty of mois-
ture during the season to sustain the
remaining folige and keep them in
healthy, growing condition. During
the summer go through your fruit
patch and cut away all intruding
sprouts on the stem and it's base and
nip back the young shoots from the
side branches. This severe pruning
will cause your trees and bushes to
grow for fruit buds. A few hours
this spring will insure you bushels
OF fruit next year.
Nature has selected the best plac-
es for growing fruit.
All our native Wild fruits may be
grated to cultivated varieties in
native patches. Try them. Anyone
who can read can graft,
The largest and finest pears the
writer ever ate were grown on a
graft, set in a thorn apple tree in
its native place. These thorn apple
trees are found growing abundent in
our ravines and bottom lands. If
you wish to try pears, graft them.
1t is the nature of our native
fruits to grow too much to wood, for
the amount of our limited moisture.
The secret for pruning for fruit Is to
limit each seasons growth by prun-
ing the top of your tree, to the
amount of moisture available within
the grasp Of the root system. These
rules apply equally to cultivated
fruit. growing in our arid regions.

recovery will be a matter of many
weeks.
The second day after his arrival
here he was out on the lawn watching
game of croquet, the third lay he
was taken for a two hours drive
Since then he has not left the whee!

have been reduced because of his weak

Wilcox, the last on the list, was cast

passage. Messengers searched for

To dwell on his shortcomings
