ORCHARD HEATING.

The question of heating orchards
during frosty nights to prevent Il de-
struction of the bloom has passed be-
yond the experimental stage, and this
wear every level headed orchardist who
lives in IA latitude that is likely to be
visited by spring frost when the trees
are in bloom should make prepare tons
at once to safeguard himself against
frost damage. Where it can be pro
cured at Il price of from to cents
per gallon crude petroleum will serve
the purpose as well or better than any
other material and has the advantage
that. being in Il covered pot, it is not
rendered useless by Il rain, as Is quite
often the case with wood or litter of
several kinds. There are several good
oil burners ON the market. and those
made without soldered joints are pref
cradle. Experience has shown that
about fifty burners should be used per
acre and So set that the wind Will
blow the smoke and heat from them
into the limbs of the trees. In Il ma
iOrity of cases the critical-coldest-
time during a night in which frost oc-
ours is between 3 and 6 n. M, and the
burners should be held in readiness
until the time mentioned. Frequently
conditions prevailing in the early even
ing will indicate frost later, but
change of wind may prevent it. Two
or three thermometers of Il good make
should be stationed through the or
chard so rs to keep tab on the tempera-
ture. 1t is well to remember that both
apple and peach blossoms in full bloom
will stand from four to five degrees of
frost without serious damage; hence If
only two or three degrees of frost
threaten it will not be necessary to
make more than Il Smudge on the east
side of the orchard just before sunup
so as to prevent Il too rapid thawing
of the blossoms. Stumps, cordwood,
brush and other litter have also been
used with good results, fewer fires be-
ing required with materials making a
larger blaze and giving more heat In
some of the orange growing sections
of California orchards of from fifty to
a hundred acres have been protected
by driving through them in the early
morning hours low wagons bearing
fires 50 fed as to make dense smudges.
Whatever method be followed in pro-
tecting the orchard from frost, prepa-
rations for heating or smudging should
be made well in advance so that one
will not be taken unawares. Instances
n
in orchard heating has been returned
manifold in the crop return of single

TEACHING THE CALF TO DRINK.

. II is amusing sometimes to see the
somewhat lengthy dissertations on
teaching the calf how to drink. as If 1t
were a matter Of considerable difficult
ty. There are few simple precan-
tons that make the matter relatively
easy-at least the writer has found
them so in his own experience. In the
first place, the calf will learn to drink
the more quickly If it hasn't acquired
the habit of sucking. 1t is well to take
the little chap away from the nanny
after it has her udder cleaned out In
good shape. In the case of ineXperi-
enced persons the job is aggravated by
going at it wrong way to. 1t Is well to
be friendly with the hungry little bo-
vine. and with this idea in view strad
die its back, give it two fingers and
when it has got a good grip on them
gently lower the head into the pail.
keeping the fingers far enough apart so
that the milk will pull between them
Keep the little brute's nostrils above
the milk line and when it is getting
good draft of milk withdraw the
fingers. 1t will shortly want something
to suck besides its tongue. and the fin
gers will have to be returned to the
mouth, but gone at in this way it will
not be long before the calf will drink
in an entirely satisfactory way.

SAYS THE ROMAN WOLVES WILL
DOWN ME-

Dear Mr. Watson: I have been
regular reader of your magazines for
some time, and enjoy reading them
very much, and I feel proud to know
that we have got one man in our
midst that is always on the right
side, no matter whose toes he steps
on. Am glad to know that we have
one thoroughbred Georgian, a man
full of pure Southern blood, and then
too, one who has backbone enough to
tell the people Of their rascality, and
to stand for the good Of the Southern
people.
l notice recently that you are hav-
ing some trouble in getting your
magazines distributed in the North
ern cities, on account of the Roman
Catholics. Well, that is nothing more
than can be expected, and unless you
quit exposing them as you have in
the past, they will not only stop the
sale of the magazines in the North,
but they will soon stop you from
publishing them. How would you
like that? However, / glory in your
spunk, but you see the way things
are going now they will soon be in
power over here, and will run things
to suit themselves. But while you
are denouncing their religion, pray
tell me why you keep their Sabbath.
(The Sabbath that they set up to
show their power), instead of the
Sabbath Of the Lord that made heav-
en- and earth, and all that in them is.
Do you not know that they changed
the Sabbath from the seventh to the
first day of the week, to show their
power and authority? Well, / would
be glad to have you think over this
matter, and reply through the col
umns of The Jeffersonian.
Yours very sincerely,

A PROTEST FROM NEW HANfP.

Dear Sir: You ought to print the
boycetting letter of Matre (P. 290,

print it often. 1t is an expression Of
genuine papacy ecclesiasticlsm; it is
one of the real instrun1ents--the rod
of government by the papcy. Hold
it up before the eyes Of the people as
often as you can. The claws and
teeth Of the papacy are 50 well con-
cealed that the people will not
awaken TIL they get q clear view of
the beastly cruel things. But il
Matre is a layman, cast all the blame
on the hierarchy.
The whole argument against Ro-
manism can be made without irapli-
eating the laity. By this method the
resentment of the laity will not be
infamed; while those under discip-
line will be the more ready to revolt
against the hierarchy.
Hold the bishops who run the Fed

all the deviltry.

circulate Matre's letter-duly set
forth with exposures of the intoler-
ance and disioyalty OF the hierarchy

A HAIR-RATSING CURSE ON PRO-
TESTANTS.

Dear Mr.. Watson: keep reading
the Weekly JEFF, and from the way
the Papyites are grooming / thought
you might be jogging them too heavy
and accusing wrong, for ] see they
have Professionalism at heart, and are
praying for them a sOul1stirring
prayer. To prove this to you 1 send
you one of their recorded prayers
published in the "Romish Pontifical,"
to be used against Professionals:
MAY God Almighty and all His
saints curse them with the curse
with which the devil and his angels
are cursed. Let them be destroyed
out of the land of the living. Let the
vilest of death come upon them, and
let them descend alive into the pit.
Let their seed be destroyed from the
earth by hunger and thirst and max
edness, and all distress. Let. them
perish. May they have all misery
and pestilence and torment. Let all
they have be. cursed. Always and
everywhere let them be cursed from
the crown of the head to the sole of
the foot, let them be cursed. Let
their eyes become blind, let their
ears become deaf, let their mouth be-
come dumb, let their tongues cleave
to their jaws, let not handle, let not
their feet walk. Let all the members
of their body be cursed. Cursed let
them be, standing or lying from this
time forth forever, and thus let their
candle be extinguished in the pres
ence of God, at the day of Judgment.
Let their burial be with dogs and
asses. Let hungry wolves devour
their corpses Let the devil and his
angles be their companions forever.
Amen. Amen. So be it. So let it

So you see they have Protestants
at heart, praying for them, and you
should be careful lest you wound

SOME INDUSTRIAL QUERIES, AND
THE ANSWERS.

Dear Sir: l would appreciate it if
you would answer the following ques-
tions through your paper:
1. How is the Recall" of legisla-
tors effected in those states which
have the Initiative, Referendum and
Recall?
2. Where and by whom were the
principles Of the Initiative, Referen-
dunn and Recall originated?
8. Where can l obtain speeches,
pro and con, on the Initiative, Refer
endum and Recall, speeches of rival
politicians or legislators preferred?
4. Is England free trade coun-
try?
5. Can English cotton manufac-
turers manufacture cloth cheaper
than the manufacturers of the United
States? If so, why? Is labor any
cheaper in England than in the Uni
ted States, and if so, why?
6. Does England have any trusts,
and if SO, what kind are they?
Yours very truly,
o. B. REDMAN.
Gastonia, N. G.
Answers:
1. No state in our Union has the
Recall. Several cities have it. 1t is
conducted just like elections. People
give and people take away; do it by
ballot.
In the Swiss corporation, where
states have the Recall, it is done the
same way. Just as an election is
held to put man in, one is held to
put him out.
2. Principle old as known record
of the human race. 1t was constantly
practiced in the Grecian Democracy,
also in the Roman republic. 1t was in
the old articles of incorporation of
1777, which was superseded by the
present constitution, but was left out
of present constitution, whose makers
were really afraid of the people.
8. Write to the office of the "Direct
Legislation Record Newark, N. j.,
or to DIR. Taylor, author of "Econom-
ic Series" Philadelphia, Pa.
