the president and his advisers that
the welfare of the clerks and the
business interests of the government
could be promoted so far as the vol
ume of work was concerned, by regu-
lating the hours of labor according to
the rising of the sun, it was found
that the plans which have been adj
yanced by organized movements in
Cincinnati and other western cities
and are to receive parliamentary con-
sideration in England are not feasible
short of a revolution which would dis
turb banking and commercial condi-
tons generally and be widespread in
its effect upon the railroads.
Advantages to be derived by per-
hitting government clerks all over
the country to commence work in the
cool hours of early morning during
the summer season and discontinue
labors in the early afternoon, with
ample opportunity to enjoy the sun
light in daily afternoon vacations, APP
pealed to the president. However, in
view of the fact that the government
could not compel financial and COM
mercial houses to adjust themselves
to the proposed change, and the
further consideration that the bust
ness of the post Office department
would be vitality affected, entailing a
change of schedules upon all rail-
roads, caused the administration to
decide not to attempt to encroach
upon the prerogatives of Father Time
and for the present at least there will
be no change in the daily routine Of
the government clerks.

death he was survived by a widow

Maj. Darlington came under the
jurisdiction Of the insular courts as a
result of his transfer for temporary
duty from the Twenty-irst infantry
to the command of a battalion Of
Filipino scouts. He commanded this
battalion at the time it was brought
to st. Louis in 1903, to take part in
the exposition.
The charges against him were
based on financial operations. which
took place at that time. Many of his
brother officers insisted that the diff
ficulties in which he became involved
were the result of carelessness rather
than criminal intent. The evidence
against him, however, was sufficient
to cause his court-martial and conse-
Quent dismissal from the army. His
conviction by the courts of the islands
was followed by Imprisonment in
Bilabid prison.
During his Incarceration, Mrs. Car
rington and her daughters, through
the efforts of influential friends, Sc
cured positions in some of the gov
eminent departments in Washington.

YOUR OWN PEACH ORCHARD.
A Possibility Nearly Everywhere II
Soil Needs of Trees Are
Studied.

There are scores of communities in
which half of the residents grow their
own peaches and the other half buy
or lament the fact that they can't
grow peaches.
Peaches are in a way fitful, yet the
chances are that many of those who
bewail their location might have as
many as their neighbors by exercising
a little care.
The majority of the little orchards
are natural fruit. Whether it pays to
depend upon this with budded trees
now SO cheap is a question worth on.
sidering; but it certainly pays much
better than to do without fruit.
1t was once thought that only sandy
soil would grow peaches. They have
succeeded nicely on stiff clay If well
enriched and cultivated. A sandy or
clayey loan is preferable, and must
not be too highly fertilized, as the
peach is naturally a quick-growing
tree.
A hillside, naturally well drained,
is a favored location for peach trees.
The frost does not strike them so
readily as on lower ground. But be-
ware OF too sunny exposures, or else
the first warm days will coax out the
buds, to be blasted by frost.
AS peach trees develop and mature
rapidly, they are correspondingly
short lived, and the owner of a good
orchard to-day must plant new trees
for a few years hence. 1t is a con-
slant succession of growth and decay.
No more satisfactory field can be
chosen for investigation a la Burbank,
and it is along a line which is sure to
prove profitable, though no world-re-
nowned variety may be evolved.
II peach growing is an experiment,
1t is perhaps wise to restrict 1t mainly
to seedlings. Should it prove a sue
cess in your orchard, you will want to
add some nursery stock, which is,
save in some stray instances, of bet
ter quality.
For market purposes named fruit
only is salable, and the surplus, even
though small, will balance up on the
sugar used in home consumption. This
alone is quite an item.
In selecting nursery trees, choice
should be in a measure made accord
ing to the time of ~ripening. A doubt
full location a smaller proportion of
the very early and very late is prefer
able.
Choose freestones for the main
crop. The yellow-fleshed varieties are
the best sellers, and as a rule the best
for canning. Early Crawford is one
of the best early varieties. Elberta
stands high in the list for the main
crop.
1t is easy to put the pits of some
choice fruit into a bag and let them
freeze, thus helping the germs to
break forth, and then plant in some
suitable place, a Seeding bearing fruit
in a very few years.
Seedlings differ from the parent, but
as a rule the finer the peach selected
for seed the better the quality of the
Seeding.

Senator Dolliver is looked on as likely

republican senators vote against the

They are larger than rats and mice,
and almost as prolific, and under
some circumstances infiict upon crops
aid trees damages greater even than
those caused by field mice.
Rabbits feed upon nearly all grow
ing crops, but the damage to small
grains is usually so slight as to pass
unnoticed. Wheat and rye afford
abundant pasture for rabbits during
open winters, and this without appar-
lent effect upon the yield of grain.
Rabbits eat very little mature grain,
except ORR in winter, and this Is but
seldom damaged as long as green
heritage can be obtained.
Glover and alfalfa are ~favorite foods
with all our rabbits, and these crops
are badly damaged by them. In the
west alfalfa is the principal forage

is green throughout the greater part
of the year, and thus furnishes a rich
%succulent and attractive food for the
c%ottontail and jack rabbits. Where an
alfalfa patch is isolated, like a small
oasis in a desert, rabbits sometimes
keep it pastured down, so that little

On open western ranges, ordinarily,

duced. In the west and southwest
the rabbits are destructive to water
melons and cantaloupes, eating the
young plants as well as the fruit.
Rabbits are fond of nearly all gar
den vegetables, but are particularly
partial to peas and cabbages, eating
the plants at all stages of growth, es-
pocially when small. They often in

RABBIT AS AN ORCHARD PEST
Because Of Their Great Abundance
Little Animals Destroy Much
Grain and Vegetable Matter.

The American farmer encounters
many obstacles in the practice of his
calling. In addition TO lnnumerable
insect enemies and plant diseases
which assail his crops at every stage
OF growth, he has to contend against
great numbers of destructive rodents.
Pocket gophers, woodchucks, prairie
dogs, ground squirrels, rats, mice and
rabbits levy a heavy toll upon the pro-
ducts of field. garden and orchard. No
annual losses due to rodent pests in
the United States are available, but as
early as 1861 a writer in the American
Agriculturist estimated that Eats
alone caused losses of $780, 900, 900 a
year in the country.
Because of their wide distribution
M great abundance, rabbits hold a
prominent place among rodent pests.

DoN'Ts FOR SWEET PEA GROW
ERS.

Don't have the soil too rich in nitro
gen. Your plants will run to vines
rather than to flowers.
Don't use too fresh manure The
finer and more broken the better.
Spade it in well.
Don't forget to mulch the rows in
hot dry weather. This will greatly
p~rolong bloom.
Don't SOW sweet peas two seasons
in succession in the same place. Re-
suits will never be so good. Sow some
of the Giant Towering type.
Don't let the plants run to seed. 1t
will soon exhaust your flowers.
Don't be afraid of picking. Daily
attention in this respect is necessary
to big blossoms and plenty of them.
Don't plant in the shade. If possible
the rows should run north and south
to get both morning and afternoon
sun.
Don't forget to mix plenty of fine
manur with soil that is clayey to
prevent baking.
Don't water in dribbles. Use enough
to soak the soil, then stop watering
until the earth begins to look dry.
