daily to get in the news dispatches
there would be a final interment OF
the Republican boilers. One of the
prominent organizers of the Pro-

unavoidably left off the organization

been held over to the grand jury for
rifling mail boxes, as was told in

Advertising is simple to some people

Farm Advice and Suggestion
TO PROTECT PEACH TREES
DURING THE WINTER TIME
Banking With Earth Rssemmsnded as
Method Of Guarding Against Work
of Miee-How to &C About IL.

About this time Of the year people
usually begin to inquire about some
sure method OF preventing mice from
working round yorng peach trees.
From several years experience we
have found what we believe to be a
rather sure method Of warding OF
this evil, says a correspondent Of the
Country Gentleman. About the latter
part Of October or the beginning or
November we take all the trash and
weeds from round the trees we are
protecting and throw six or seven
shovelfuls of dirt-that Is. real dirt
with no grass In it-round the bottom
OF each tree. This earth must be
tramped and should form a mound
five or six inches high tight against
the trunk. Unless the ground is In 4
very weedy condition the whole opera;
ton does not take owe two minutes.
AT this rate an orchard OF several
acres can be cared for In a few hours
spare time.
Some four years ago we had be-
tween three and four acres OF peach
trees that were two and three years
old. Some of the trees had been so
badly girdled that they died and many
Of the others were stunted so that IL
took them a whole year TO make up
the lost growth. We plowed a furrow
about a foot away from the base of
the tree on each side of il. taking care
not TO 20 close enough or deep enough
to injure the roots seriously. This
work was done with a one horse pillow
such as Is used for close working in
the orchard. BY doing It this way
much time is saved as less handwork
is necessary. However. in many In
lance this plan cannot be followed,
because the heads of the trees are toe
low TO allow n horse to pass under
them.
Another advantage derived from
this method Of banking dirt round a
tree Is that such n bank tends 10 hold
the tree solidlt in place in the winter
| and spring. when the winds are doing
| their best TO loosen and upset every
tree that is out in the open. No tree
is going to do well If the little feeder
roots are worked loose from the soil
into which they have made their way.
and this IS especially true of a young
tree.
There is no need of taking down
the bank in the spring. for il can Dc
no harm and will naturally be worked
down by the summer rains.

Freeing the Slaves

@OMPARATINELY few persons
