Instead of wooden structures the

Most of them are of conical shape and

Dwarf Annie Trees

The culture of dwarf apple trees
has been recommended from time to
time during the past Is years, but
dwarf orchards do not seem to in.
crease very rapidly in numbers, and
the advocates have been mostly nur.
serymen or horticultural specialists
who have grown the trees only in a
very limited way. During the past
two or three years discussion has sim
mered down to a position on the part
of many leading fruit growers that
dwarfs are not to be recommended
for general planting. 1t is we'll enough
for novelty and to supply fruit in
small gardens and city yards, but even
as filters in large orchards they are
probably less desirable than some OF
the early-bearing varieties on stand

has the advantage of doing it's work
more rapidly than hand labor can &C
complish it, but it saves waste in
chips and cuts the trees at any height
from the ground that may be desired
The machine consists of a pedestal

saw is attached to this upright and
can be moved up and down to the
height required. Where a large mum
Der of trees are felled by means OF
axes the amount of wood lost in chips
is considerable This loss is saved
by the saving machine. Most impor
tant, however, is the saving of the
expense of dynamiting stumps to clear
the ground if it is to be used for build
ing purposes. Usually when a forest
has been cut down the space is
marked by a sea of stumps, which
must be removed before the ground
can be used for any other purpose
With the saving machine the trees
can be cut level with the ground.

WEDDING PLANNED.
Miss Mary Hartman Soon to Be
Bride.
New York Society Expects Formal An
nouncement of Engagement to
Robert w. GoeIet Soon-Fath-
er's Death Spoiled Plans.

New York.-Although an engage
ment has not yet been formally an
nounced, no one in society will be at
all surprised if Miss Mary Hartman,
daughter of the late railroad magnate,
becomes the bride of Robert Walton
Goelet
1t has been admitted by relatives of
Miss Hartman and of Mr.. Goelet that
had the financial wizard lived a few
weeks longer there would have been
an elaborate wedding in the hill top
castle at Arden. And now they admit
since decent interval has elapsed
after the burial of the master of Ar
den-that the wedding soon will oc-
cur anyhow, only it will be quiet
wedding.
The original plans were that Miss
Hartman should become Mrs. Goelet
before the snow whitened the forests
of her fathers great estate. That meant
some time during October or early
November. Mr. and Mrs. Hartman
and the other children of the family
were to have gone to the town house
and turned over the Arden place to
the bride and bridegroom for their
| honeymoon.
That was one of the reasons why
hundreds of workmen were rushing
to completion the great stone castle
even while Mr.. Hartman lay danger
ously i'll. 1t was his wish that the
wedding be performed "on time,s as
his railroad mind had it.
His death, of course, changed the
plans, or, rather, postponed them. But
the young peoples friends learn
the delay will not be long, and most
likely the honeymoon will be spent
as was originally planned.
All society has konwn, or "felt,
rather, that young Mr.. Goelet and Miss
Hartman were engaged for quite a
while. Mr.. Goelet has been constant
in his devotion, and he and Miss Mary
have been very much together for
more than a year, both here and
abroad.
Mr.. Goelet was with Mr.. Hartman
and his daughter when the railroad
king sought health by camping fol

For eleven weeks l lay there and

aches, nor those spells with weak
heart. We know it is Postum that
helped me. The Dr. said the other day,
I never thought you would be what

and now I weigh 1853.
Postum has done much for me and

Shapinu a Tree.

The shaping of tree should b.,
done when it is young. The practice
of allowing useless limbs to grow only
to be sawed or chopped off when the
tree is large is a mistake, as every
undesirable limb grown deprives the
other limbs of so much food and nour
ishment. Begin with the first year
and train the tree to the shape desired
leaving only such branches as will be
retained later on.
