Orchard and Garden

Orchard and Garden
Snow, snow, down from the apple
trees,
Pink and white drifting of
petals sweet.
Kiss her and crown her our la
dy of poisoning,
There as she sits on the ap-
pile tree sweet.
Be sure to make successiOnal
sowings of sweet corn, peas, etc.,
say two weeks apart. Then all
the crop won't ripen at the same
time.
At the end of a bed of seeds,
drive down stake and slip the
empty seed bag over the top OF
it to help you remember what
you have sowed there.
Flower stalks on rhubarb plant
should be removed whenever seer
so that the plants strength will
not be wasted in the useless for
nation of seeds.
Shallow cultivation is best,
about two inches deep. All fruit
that are not mulched need to be
hoed or cultivated at intervals
of ten days or two weeks. Try
to do this work soon after a
rain.
Make the rows long and
straight, 50 as to use the horse
cultivator or the wheel-hoe to the
best advantage. Stir the ground
after planting, often after each
rain, or about once in ten days
anyhow.
Do not plant big blocks of any
one variety Of fruit. Mixed
paintings of different kinds help
the trees to fertilize each others
blossoms. Remember that the
blossoms of some varieties are
more or less self-sterile.
All fruit trees need pruning i'm
mediately after planting. Make
the tops correspond with the
roots. Peaches need the most
trimming after setting; trim
these to mere switches about two
feet high and without side shoots
longer than one inch.
Cuttings from the mature as
paragus bed should be made reg
ularly and thoroughly, being al.
ways careful not to injure the
crowns of the plants with the
knife. Keep weeds out. Beds SET
this spring or last fall, should moi
be cut at all this season; let the
plants grow unmolested.
Remedy for aphis or plant lice
These my black, green or red in
sects are easily killed by using
a strong solution off tobacco in
water. Or kerosene emulsion, OF
whale-oil soap solution. Apply
remdey early, when lice first
hatch ont, and before they are
hidden by the curl of infested
leaves.
This is a busy month; dig out
borers, cut out black knots, spray
for codling-mOth, look out for
climbing worms on young tree
watch out that new gratis are
not injured by lice nor smOtheret
by shoots from the stock, pull off
blossoms from very young trees

of manure around each newly-set
tree. Do the last after a rain;
the manure keeps the moisture in
the ground and insureS a good
start.

DR.. Cook himself had nothing to
say regarding the proposed suit, but
his secretary, Walter Lonsdale, adj
mitted Saturday that the idea was
seriously entertained, both by Dr.
Cook and by John r. Bradley, Cooks
hacker. He said that afidavits had
already been prepared in case it was
definitely decided to bring the suit"
New York.-Friends of DR.. Fred

discovered the north pole has been
challenged by Commander r. E.

record. The announcement several
days ago that a lawyer representing
the Peary Arctic club had been re-
tanned at Seattle, Wash, to fully in
vestigate all the details of DR.. Cooks
reported ascent of Mount Mckinley, is
followed now by DR.. Cooks effort to
have one Of the guides who accom-

NOT FOND OF PIGEONS
Mayor of Philadelphia Resents Inter
ference In His Efforts to Get
Rid of Them.

Mayor Reyburn, who considers the
city hall pigeons a nuisance, and
would ria the building of them If he
could, considers the efforts of the anti
cruelty to animals societies to prevent
the pigeons being driven out as med
dlesome, and sometimes wakes sarcas-
tic in referring to the societies.
Recently, while the mayor was hold
ing his daily chat with the newspaper
men, several fire engines with clang-
ing eongs, came laundering down
Broad street and around the city hall
The pigeons. evidently frightened by
the gongs, flew excitedly around and
around outside of the mayors office
ON the north side of the building.
AS the whir of wings swept through
the room, the mayor exclaimed, half
smiling, but with an attempt at seri-

ETY. for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals? Such trifle as saving cit

CAR SHORTAGE EXPECTED.

Railroad men are repeating their
warning of last year to northwestern
dealers and consumers to place their
orders for coal as early as possible
in order to safeguard themselves
against delays incident to conges-
ton of traffic, with incidental short
ness in the car supply. They had
reason for their warning of last year,
despite the fact that business for
months previous had been discourag-
ingly light, but this year they have
what amounts to almost assurance OF
difficulty ahead in the fact that traf-
fic in all departments of the carrying
business is increasing rapidly. There
are 100000 idle cars in the United
States, Canada and Mexico at the pres
ent time, but orders for rolling stock
are compelling the utilization of
these cars so rapidly that managers
are becoming nervous in regard to
the coal trade. Indications point to
an exceptionally heavy movement in
grain during the months in which de-
layed orders for fuel must be filled in
order to obviate suffering during the
first cold weather of winter, and those
who wish to avoid anxiety and trou-
BILE are advised to place their orders
as soon as possible.

TAFT THE PREACHER
PRESIDENT DELIVERS SERMON
FROM FAMOUS MORMON
PULPIT.
REVIEWS 10000 CHILDREN
Vast Audience Cheers Chief Executive
When He Makes an Appeal for
Amity Between the PeopIe-Ser-
mon HomeIy Utterance.

Salt Lake City-President Taft
from the pulpit of the famous Mormon
tabernacle in this city on Sunday
preached sermon on amity between
people to a vast audience. He said
the assemblage inspired him to follow
in the footsteps of his predecessor,
Theodore Roosevelt, who, four years
same platform on the duties of good
citizenship and right living.
Mr.. Taft did preach a sermon-text
and all. The immense audience in
the 1ag-draped edifice, the splendid
musical program of operate and pa
triotic selections, the enthusiastic
cheering as President Taft appeared
and the quick response of the audi
ence to points which he endeavored
to impress upon his hearers, inspired
him, the president declared, with
higher thoughts of country and pa
triotism.
The presidents sermon was an ap-
peal for amity between the people, for
attributing the best rather than the

when possible to do so and not to
harbor hatred or animosity.
"A soft answer turneth away wrath,
but grievous words stir up anger" was
the text Mr.. Taft selected from the
book of Proverbs. The sermon was
homely utterance, largely made up of
q relation Of stories to give emphasis
to the points.
From the tabernacle the president
was driven to review about 10000
school children. At one point along
the line thousand or more children
had been arranged in living flag,
red, white and blue caps and capes
serving to outline the national en-
blem.
Thence the president proceeded to
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, where he made a brief address
to an audience composed entirely of
men. Lastly the president attended
service especially arranged for him
at the Unitarian church. After this
he left Salt Lake for Ogden, where
he enjoyed an 1S-mile ride through
Ogden canyon and made his third ad-
dress of the day at Lester park there.
When Senator Smoot introduced
the president to the audience in the
tabernacle the cheering was so great
that Mr.. Taft could not begin his SER
mon for several minutes.

Goldfield, Nev-The twelfth annual
session of the American Mining con-
gress opened here Monday with a
large attendance. The meeting will
continue until October 4, and one of
the chief topics on the program for
discussion is the increasing use of
silver and obtaining such an adjust
ment of it's value as will decrease the
rate of exchange between the United
States and countries with silver
standard. Sir Moreton Frewen, the
English bimetallist; James ]. Hill and

Paul Morton's plan of keeping
money in the country by levying an ex-
port tax on American heiresses who
marry foreigners and go abroad is
based on patriotic feeling, but the no
ton is not new-in fact it was en-
bodied in bill introduced in the re-
cent congress by Representative Sab
aoth of Illinois. Mr.. Morton is not
alone in thinking it pity that Amer
leans should fall down and worship
titles. When his rage is excited by
the spectacle of a splendid American
girl with rich father throwing her
self away upon a decadent sprig of
European aristocracy, he is in the
same state as thousands of other free
Americans witnessing the same sorry
spectacle, says the Milwaukee Wis
consin. If practical remedy for the
evil can be found it will be widely well
comed-but more especially if it be
not inconsistent with the fine old
American principle of individual lib
erty.

The government bulletin reports the
average condition of cotton at 637
per cent of normal, and on this basis
the total output will be about 1O,25O,-
900 bales, whereas the yield last year
was 13,SO0,000 bales. The worlds con.
sumption of cotton is placed at 49,
100000 bales annually. These figures
convey their own comment as to how
closely the supply will approximate
the demand. Certainly there seems
to be no need of restricting cotton
growing next year in order to avert
the accumulation of an embarrassing
surplus.

1t is a graceful act on the part of
the British government to order an
entire squadron of cruisers to this
country to take part in the Hudson
Fulton celebration this fall. The af-
fair will be distinctly American. New
ertheless it will have significance for
the entire world. The discovery of
the Hudson led ultimately to the de-
velopment of region that has be-
come one of the most important on
the globe, and Fulton's experiment
marked the beginning of the era of
steam navigation, of which the mighty
navy of Great Britain, part of which
will be present at the commemoration,
is an outgrowth. Ships of other ma
tons also will be on hand, and one of
the greatest features of the pageantry
will be the display of steam vessels
indicating the growth in that direc-
ton since the Clermont made her
epochal trip.
