II you plant pear trees in rich soil
you invite blight.
Old and many young trees are infest.
Cd with the woolly aphis.
We cannot longer raise paying ap.
pie crops unless we spray.
The lime-sulphur mixture is a good
remedy for the oyster-shell scale.
It is better to give tho orchard clean
cultivation than to try to raise crops
in 1t.
If the garden is fall p1owed 1t means
you can plant at least a week earlier
next spring.
Fruit trees should never be planted
on the lawn, as they cannot be profit
ably worked.
If you buy your seed potatoes this
year, look at them closely, and If there
is a sign Of scab, reject them.
In very cold weather, cover the bar
rels of potatoes and fruit with two
t~hicknesses of paper or grain sacks.
The hardest grape of all is the Con
cord. There may be some Of better
quality, but none can stand SO much
grief.
Expert orchardists recommend seed
ing the orchard to crimson clover-or
rye TO be plowed down the following
spring.
Wood ashes are valuable to spread
around fruit trees for small fruits and
vegetables; they should not be
wasted.
Clean out the henhouse and put the
cleanings on the garden this fall
Next spring you will wonder what
makes things grow so fast.
For moss and lichens on old fruit
and shade trees, spray when leaves
are off. Spray in the middle Of a mild
clear day, when bark is dry.
Remember rabbits have just al

FORTUNES PILED UP
Many Miuionaires Made Since
War With Spain.
Birth Of industrial Combination. Dur
Ing President Mckiniey's Term
Melted F%Inanciers Of Amor
lea Vast Wealth.

New York.-The great railroad and
Industrial. development of this country
which has gone on since the Spanish
war has produced a remarkable crop
of men whose fortunes have mounted
into the millions at a rate unknown In
any previous period of our country.
One who died recently was John w.
Gates. Mr.. Gates fortune has Just
been appraised at $11. OoO, 900.
Like Mr.. Gates. Mr.. Hartman pos.
sessed a fortune made practically
within this period. 1t was a much
larger fortune than Mr.. Gates.
the estimates of 1t at Mr.. Harriman's
death ran, as high as $3.50. 10000. The
Hartman estate paid taxes on a for
tune Of $4,000. 900.
Next to Mr.. Hartman the most con-
spicuous OF the new millionaires who
have been made essentially by rail-
road manipulation is Edwin Hawley.
Ten years ago he was regarded ais a
newcomer on the financial stage and
was being described as "Wall streets
new constructive genius in railroad
operations"
One OF Wall streets most interest.
ing figures in these years of rapid for
tune building has been former Judge
William H: Moore. OF. all these newly
made millionatres his record Is unique.
Within the same period-the period
that began with the consolidation of
the great Industrial ~plants-Judge
Moore has made and lost n fortune,
and has made another on the ruins of
the first.
Daniel G. Reid is a man who has
made q large fortune in the same
record breaking time and in much the
same way. With him should be class.
ed the late William B. Leeds, for they
hewed their way together, two little
Indiana boys" Reid used to call them.
As the youngest. possibly, of this
remarkable group of swiftly made men
OF millions. Charles M. Schwab has
come in for perhaps attention
than many of the older figures in 1t.
Strictly speaking. he belongs to the
Carnegie group of millionaires. men
whom the ironmaster took into part
nership. and helped to push along to-
ward fortune. though belonging to a
younger generation than himself. Will
liam E. Corey and several other men
might be named in this group. Their
fortunes have been made in the same
quick manner. The career of Schwab
has Rsgn almost meteoric.
TIE are perhaps the most con
spicLous figures in the group Of new
men Of great fortunes In this country.
1t is a group that is younger than the
men with fortune made from oil and
the railroad development of a quarter
of q century ago. Twenty-Five years
ago few of these men had ever the
small beginnings OF a fortune. Al
most without exception their fortunes.
running up into millions. have been
made since Mckinley was inaugurated
and the Maine was sunk in Havana

WEDDING GLOVE FOR BRIDE
Third Finger 10 Left Unstltchsd Sc
That the Ring Can Do slipped

A happy era has dawned for the
bride at the fateful moment when the
ring is about to be placed4on her fin.
ger.
Instead Of the usual struggle to re.
move her left hand glove she will
now be able to uncover the third fin.
ger without effort and without losing
her composure.
This delightful result is to be OBJ
tanned by an ingenious wedding
glove" device. The inside seam on
the third finger of the left glove is un.
stitched, so that all that the bride
need do Is to slip her finger through
the slit to receive the ring. The fin.
ger can just as easily be slipped back
into the glove after the ceremony.
The device will be greatly appre.
.ciated- not only by the bride, but also
iby the nervous bridegroom.
The story of the origin. Of the wed.
ding glove has come to light. Some.
time ago a girl who had lost her right
arm in the hunting field asked for a
single wedding glove.
She remarked on the awkwardness
Of having to remove her glove with
tho help Of her teeth, and 1t was then
seen that matters would be greatly
facilitated for the bride II she only
had to the ring finger.
The experiment a so successful
that 1t aroused the interest of other
prospective brides. who saw in 1t a
boon which would save them from
the usual difficulties Of removing a
whole glove in the moment when the
ring is about to be put on.-Exchange
