WRAPPING AND

Gliding the ground is not too wet or
mucky. Where water is used to settle
the earth and dry dirt is put on top,
do not tramp with the feet for it will
make the ground too soggy. Lean the
tree sharply to the southwest at an
angle of about sixty degrees slope This
will answer double purpose in shad-
ing the tree from the hot afternoon
sun, also keep it from leaning away
from the wind, and when the tree is old
enough to bear it is usually standing
erect
Il cannot impress too strongly on
heading the tree low. The tree should
be cut off about Is to 20 inches from
the ground, cutting to a bud that which
faces the southwest and letting all the
branches grow the first year, the second
from three to five good healthy limbs
coming out at this side of the tree so as
to avoid cratches. The lower limb
should be about a foot from the ground.
There are two types of trees which
are known as the Pyramid and the
Vase shaped The Pyramid tree is
planted for shade and ornament, while
the Vase shaped tree is planted for
fruit and profit. The vase shaped tree
is produced by cutting out the center
stock. This checks the growth, fore
ing out fruit spurs. The second year
the permanent limbs should be short
ened back to about a foot from the
body of the tree. letting three limbs
grow. This forms the permanent
frame work for the two year old tree.
The third year these also will be short
ened back on the apple tree and after
that time very little cutting back of
the apple tree will be required, but
every spring they will have to be
thinned out with a sharp pair of prun-
ing shears so as not to leave too much
wood growth. Growing the tree low
the limbs protect the bast of the tree
and keep them from getting winter
killed or sun burnt.
''The peach and pear tree should be
headed still lower than the apple tree
The pear tree will be grown similar
to the apple tree, while the peach tree
should be kept pruned back every year,
allowing the fruit to bear on the new
growth of wood.
ut is a mistaken idea to grow a tree
high in order to cultivate the ground
With the late improvements of orchard
cultivators and extension disk harrows,
it is possible now to cultivate close
to the tree, while the team can be driv-

INTELLIGENCE IN JURORS.

Judge Shelton, of the Missouri
bench, does not believe that intelli-
gence ought to be a disbarment from
jury service. In a murder case recent
ly tried before him the states attor-
ney was severely questioning tales
men about having read newspaper ac-
counts of the crime with the custo-
mary purpose of disqualifying them
The court interrupted to remark:
Whats the difference if they have
read the newspapers? They'll make
all the better jurymen. To say a man
ought not to serve because he has
read the newspapers accounts is say
ing, in effect, that a jury of intelli-
gence is objected to. That is not
Justice; neither is it the law"
1t is refreshing to have this judi
cial opinion on this point True, the
readers on the jury is falling into dis
use, but it is still occasionally heard
of. Judge Shelton has riddled that sur
vival very effectively The practice
that would prefer men with so little
intelligence or interest in the affairs
of the world as to fail to read the
newspapers to men whose interest and
intelligence impelled them to keep
abreast of the times was repugnant to
common sense and good Judgment

WILL THE CONSUMER COMBINE?

1t is not necessary to guess how i'm
portant will be the effect of the meat
strike" which now appears to be
spreading rapidly over the country.
The strikers may be in earnest, or
there may be much talk, but little reso-
lutte action, as in the case of the cot
ton growers. combinations, which
vowed to burn a certain percentage of
the big crop OF few years ago, and
which, if we mistake not, actually did
burn one bale. But whatever the course
of the strike" may be the movement is
significant as the first considerable at
tempt at joint action on the part of
consumers. While producers have been
uniting to control or regulate" prices
we believe regulate is the less often

forming, while even farmers have been

tariff IS DEBATED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-An. ami
mated political debate with the tariff
as it's chief feature entertained the
house of representatives today. The
agricultural appropriation bill was I'M

Representative Boutelle of Illinois up
held the Payne Aldrich tariff law as
one that would be eminently salts

to southern states.

and referred it to committee. 1t prob

A bill was passed providing for the

CIVIL SERVICE PENSIONS.

The retirement or pension scheme is
an integral part of the merit system
which lies at the foundation of gov
ernmental employment. Experience
has proved and common sense teaches
that the business of the government
can be effectually conducted only by
adherence to a general standard of
practical efficiency for it's employees.
The maintainence of such a standard
involves the displacement by young
and active men of those who in SER
vice become disabled or superanuated
From a humane and civilized view
point this can mean nothing less than
adequate provision, in some form Of
pension, particularly to relieve the dis
tress of the disabled or infirm, and in
general to afford the enjoyment of
that leisure which is the reward OF
faithful service. On the purely prac-
teal side such a provision is self-co
pensatory, so to speak, through it's
power to attract and retain the most
desirable classes of employees. And in
view of the mutually of these inter-
ests it appears that the total cost of
operating a pension or retirement
scheme, which is the solution of the
whole matter, may be justly shared
between the government and it's SER
wants

'In planting the commercial orchard
do not select over four kinds. For the
Walla Walla valley the four best ap-

the growers These four apples have
held their own among thousands of
others that have come and gone and
posses the desired qualities that are
required, and it is not very good idea
to discard the varieties that we know
are good, to experiment on varieties
that have not been thoroughly tried
out. Of course few of the new va
rieties should be planted as an expert
