than what he had assigned-to thank
the people who had elected him to the
presidency.
Had he never come to the west he

Ehicago, April 11.-Whatever reason

lthose in the trade at this end of the

conditions, the market gets 10000

or course the farmers are getting
busy In the fields and those who are
short OF help evidently are firing OF
carrying cattle and hogs in the feed
gard. This disposition to rid the farm
of beef and pork may work all right as
regards tightening the labors Of the
IA rmer, but naturally he must be rec
oncIled to a lower price basis for his
offerings at market than would be the
case were supply distribution better
res,,ated. It Is simply matter of how

SAVING THE GIRDLED TREES
Grating Is often Necessary Where
Mice and Rabbits Have Been at
Work-HoW IL Is Done.

1t is often necessary to resort to
grating to a " a tree that has been
girdled by mice or rabbits. This is
done by forming what is called a
bridge graft. The wound should first
be dressed by cutting away the rag
ged edges and painting the exposed
surface with lead paint.
Slender scions are used and are cut
thinly. wedge-shaped at both ends and
from one and one-half to two inches
longer than the wound Is wide. Slip
the knife blade between the bark and
wood on one side of the wound. Start
one end of the scion under the bark
and push down firmly, then spring out
the scion and start the other end un-
der the bark on the other side In the
same way.
The scion should now extend three
fourths to one inch under the bark on
each side. The bark is tied tightly
over the scions and the whole, scions
and all, covered with wax. These
scions are to serve as a bridge
through which plant food may pass
and if growth starts on them 1t should
be rubbed off. They should be set as
close together as possible around he
stem.

LAUGHTER PLEASING TO GOD
Nowhere In Biblical Lore Can There
Be Found lntlmatIon Of Any
Other Idea.

We misjudge and distort the nor
mally human nature of the Saviour
when we picture him going through
life, as Dante did after he had writ
ten his Inferno" with the shadows
of perdition on his brow. We may
gravely question when it was that the
cross began to darken our Lords
pathway; there is no hint of such
a foreboding until we reach the mid
die of his ministry. From that on
there are occasional tokens that he
say Calvary ahead of him, and was
at times pressed down with a dread
full sense Of the inevitable agony
which awaited him at the end. But
all this is very far from affording any
reasonable ground for the conclusion
that he smiled sometimes, but never
laughed.
If God did not intend us to laugh,
on occasion, why did he endow us
with the capacity to laugh, with a
sense of the humorous, with the fac
ulty to see and enjoy wit, fun and
the absurd side of life; and, further
more. why did he produce so many
things and people to laugh att

JUST WHEN TO PICK PEARS
Should Always Be Done Before Fully
Ripe, Without BruIsing and With
Stems On-AIso Graded.

Pears should always be picked care
fully before fully ripe, without bruis-
ing. with the stems on. They should
be laid carefully in the picking-bask-
cts, which should hold half a bushel
or So, and then be hauled to the pack
ing-house or other convenient place
and at once sorted into grades, and
either packed or shipped or placed in
the ripening house for future ship
ment. 1t Is usually better, in most
cases., especially with summer fruit,
to pick the trees over two or three
times, although this is not absolutely
necessary, and unless the trees are
overloaded may not be worth while.
When the fruit has not been properly
thinned and the trees are overloaded
many growers begin to pick the fruit
long before 1t is full grown and send
it to market. BY this means the trees
are not only relieved somewhat, but
the fruit that is left swells to the
largest possible bulk; moreover, salts
factory returns are often secured from
the early pickings. This method is
particularly successful with Clapp's
Favorite and Bartlett. Both Of these
varieties will ripen up tolerably well
when they are not much more than
half grown. The same principle is
successfully used in handling LeConte
and Kieffer pears, but these should be
nearer maturity to be good.

ScaIdinq Peach Borers.

A reader who wants information
concerning the possibilities of hot wa
ter in fighting the peach tree borers
will be interested in the following:
"The hot water cure is recommend
ed by many for peach tree borers. 1t
is a somewhat drastic treatment for
the borer, though it does not hurt the
tree. The borers work either at or d.
rectly beneath the surface of the
ground, around the trunk. The tree
may be hilled up in the form of a sau-
Ger, the dirt packed a little and the
scalding water poured in. This will
invariably bring out any borers. 1t is
not believed to hurt the tree, although
an excess of water should not be used.
An emulsion Of 1 part of naptholeum
to $50 parts of water is also recon
mended."

officer had less confidence and had re.
treated before Grant and his men ar
rived. Grant said that the memory Of
that incident always gave him cour-
age when preparing to make an attack
or when in the thick of the fighting.
August 8 Grant arrived with his reg

Gratz Brown, who later became gov

presidential candidate in 1872.
August 9, President Lincoln signed
the commission of Brigadier General
Grant, AID this fact was telegraphed
from Washington to Ironton. Grant
Vas encamped near a spring on the
James Lindsay property, not far from
the Iron County courthouse. When
Lindsay learned that Grant had be-
come a general, he moved Mrs. Lind
say and their babies to his farm near
Pilot Knob and rendered his mud
chinked log home to Gen. Grant for
his headquarters. The offer was ac-
cepted and the Lindsay cabin became
the first headquarters of Gen. Grant.
although he spent a large part of his
time sitting at an old pine table in the
shade OF an oak tree in the yard work
ing out plans for a campaign. 1t was
while sitting in the shade of the now
historic Grant oak that he received
by mail, August IA. the commission Of
which he had been notified by tele-
graph. August 80, Grant took leave
of his regiment On the river campaign,
which won his promotion to major
general of volunteers in February,
1862. His later achievements are his
tory.
The Grant h~eadquarter premises
have been known for many years as
Emerson Park" the late Judge ]. w.
Emerson having acquired the property
and erected a fine brick residence on
the site of the log house. In 1886 the
surviving members of Gen. Grants
regiment erected a statue of a fed
eral soldier to mark the spot where he
received his commission.

ing scenes of her young motherhood
each summer.
Lindsay, who died several years ago,
was a union supporter and active in
the Ironton Home Guards. He init
mately knew all the surrounding coun-
try and did some valuable scouting
for Gen. Grant, who rode over to the
farm several times to see that all was

NOT A BRITISH UNIT IN 1T
Irlshman Would Not for a Minute
Allow the Possibility of Such
a Thing.

George Mockler has just returned
from an investigation of what coal
Is costing some Of the other cities.
He brought this story from Balti-
more:
An Irishman there inherited a coal
mine up in the state. He immedi-
ately entered the lists for n of the
big coal contracts and went around
to say a good word for his coal.
The man who was letting the con-
tract heard him a moment, and then
interrupted with:
That's all right, but how about
British thermal units?"
The other, being new to the coal
business, did not know that coal is
rated now according to the British
thermal units in tests.
"Phat's that" he said.
How many British thermal units
are there in your coal?"
The Irishman blinked his eye and
snorted a bit.
British thermal units is it?"' he
said. "Why there amt wan in it."
