While it is always one of the
busie-t periods of the year, the best
time for pruning in the orchard is
during April, May and June, as dur
ing these months scars that are
made most quickly heal over, there
by lessening the possibility that the
process of decay will set in at the
point of cutting and thus weaken the
tree. If the limb cut off is more
than an inch in diameter it is we'll
to paint the cut with white lead and
oil. All limbs removed should be
cut as close as possible to the trunk
or main branch, while in removing

move the one which will leave the
cut on the lower side of the main
branch rather than the upper and on
the side away from the center of the

One day last week while driving
to Milford from her home, Mrs. Wal
ter Hammond met with an accident
which might have proven very seri-
Gus. AS she came to the railroad,
train was coming in and the flag
man waved to her not to come any
nearer. She seems to have mis-
understood his caution for she came
on. AS it was on down grade she
was unable to stop her horse when
she saw hov close the train was to
her. The fagman ran out in front
of the horse and waved his flag in
its face in order to keep it from
running on the track. This
frightened the animal, which swerveG
sharply and threw Mrs. Hammond
from the carriage. The vehicle
passed over her body causing very
painful bruises.

gent chief, has appealed to the Car
tago court of justice, asking it's infiu-
ence to obtain from President Madriz
reply to his offer of March IA last,
proposing that the United States me-
date between the two, and that an
election be held for president, at
which neither Estrada nor Madriz
should be candidates.
Following is the text of the letter
sent by Estrada to the president of
the court, through the United States
consulate at Bluefields:
Nov that we have totally destroy
ed the armies of Generals Lara, Co
doy and Chavarria, which were ar
rayed against Bluefields and Rama,
with the loss of all their essentials OF
war and hundreds of lives, the pro-
visional government believes it to be
its duty, animated, as always, by these
sentiments for peace to insist upon
the negotiations pending with DR..
Madriz, who has not as yet replied to
our message, dated March IA last.
ITO accomplishe this end, which
will terminate the misfortunes which
affect the nation, permit appeal to
your honorable tribunal, which has
nobly expressed itself as interested in
the peace and tranquility of this poor
country that it may interpose it's Vii
ued influence with DR.. Madriz to the
end that he accept our proposals,
which consist principally in the friend
ly mediation of the American govern
ment, and other bases already brought
to the knowledge of your high tri-
bunal.
