cannot get back into the service but he cannot

The vast majority Of rescues effected by the
lifesaving crews accomplished by means of
lifeboats or surfboats. These stanch craft which,
as now manufactured, are almost unsinkabe are
the ideal vehicles for taking considerable num-
bers Of persons from imperiled vessels in linn
tied space Of time. If the patrolman, who in his
vgils the beach discovers a vessel ashore and
hastens to the lifesaving station for assistance
reports that the use of boat is practicable eth
ed the large lifeboat is launched from its ways
in the station and proceeds to the wreck by wa

point opposite the wreck and launched as cir

boats were propelled by oars and many of them
yet are, but latterly there have been introduced

and beach apparatus with view to carrying on
rescue work through the fundamentally OF the
breeches buoy or the life car. First of all a
shot with line attached is fired across the
stranded vessel by means of powerful little
mortar or snub-nosed cannon which will hurl a
line over wreck 400 yards distant, even in the
teeth of a gale. With this preliminary line in

three-nch haWser. Attached to the hawser is a
board which bears in English one side and in
French the other instructions as to how to
make the haWser fast to a mast or the htst place
that can be found.
When the shipwrecked mariners signal that
they have obeyed instructions as to fastening the
hawser the life-savers Oh shore haul the haWseT

landed by the breeches buoy, but from four to six
people be carried ashore at each trip Of the
life Whichever be the vehicle employed the
trips continue until all the imperiled persons are
safely ashore after which an ingenious mechan-

out to the wreck along the 'cableWay and upon
arriving at the terminus of the haWser auto

CULTIVATION OF AN ORCHARD
If to Be Made Profitable Trees Should
Receive as Good Care as Other
Crops--kiIl Weeds.

(By L. Fl BAILEY, Cornell Experiment
Station)
If orchards are to be made profita-
BILE, they must receive as good care
as other crops.
Good drainage, natural or artificial,
is essential to success. Trees are i'm
patient of wet feet
Well.drained lands are drier in wet
spells and moister in dry spells than
other lands. They can bs worked
earlier in spring.
Good tillage increases the availa-
BILE food supply of the soil and also
conserves it's moisture.
Trees should be made to send their
roots deep into the soil, in order to
fortify themselves against drought.
This is done by draining the soil and
by blowing the orchard rather deep.
This deep blowing should begin the
very year the trees are set, and it
should be continued every spring I'M
til the habit of the tree is established.
Moisture is retained in the upper
soil by very frequent but shallow till
age, by means of which the surface Of
the land becomes a mulch for the soil
beneath.
Tillage should be begun just as soon
as the ground is dry enough in spring.
This tillage should be repeated as
often as once in ten days throughout
| the growing season, which extends
from spring until July or August.
Tillage should not exist for the pur-
| pose of killing weeds. Weeds have
taught the most important lessons in
| agriculture, to be sure, but the school
master should now be able to retire.
Late cultivation may be injurious
| by inducing late growth. At all
events it can be of small utility when
| the tree begins to mature and rains
| become frequent. This season of re-
| spite gives the grower the opportunity
| of raising green manure and Of add.
ing fertility to his land at trifling ex.
| pense and with no harm to his trees.

A certain woman went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and it CHANGED
that her gown was not fully buttoned
up in the back. Now, priest and
Levite, meeting the woman and per-

other side, without saying word. But
a certain Samaritan, journeyed that
way, was touched with compassion.

Der of which may be connected up in

Normally, the fire pots are covered,
but the contact points in each are so
arranged that wire will fuse and trip
the catch holding the cover down
when the current is turned on, and at
the same time ignite wick which sets
fire to the fuel. The covers, Of course,
are weighted SO that they will fly open
when the catch is tripped. In this
manner all the fire pots in the orch
ard are instantly ignited by turning on
the current.

HORTICULTURAL,
Aaz. ~ ~ NOTES

Leaves are fine for lining the stor.
age pits.
Prepare land for small fruit planta.
ton next spring.
Do not neglect to provide ample ven
tilation for the cellar.
Apples keep best in a cold cellar;
just above freezing point.
Trees injured by freezing very often
need to be severely cut back.
A peach tree will stand a heavier
heading back than an apple tree.
Do not allow stock to run in the
orchard during the winter months.
Remember that your orchard, espe-
cially the young trees, need good culti-
walton.
Walnut trees thrive under almost
any condition and do we'll in many
states.
Keep all rubbish from about your
fruit plants so that mice cannot har-
Dor there.
Move all of the trash standing in
the orchard and burn it to destroy
weed seeds.
Trees to do their best should be
planted in blocks or groves rather
than in single rows.
Ascertain the varieties Of fruits and
vegetables wanted in the markets de
sired to be patronized.
If there are any limbs dead or out
of shape on the young trees now is a
good time to look after them.
Grow trees for post timber, lumber,
nuts, fruits, as we'll as evergreens and
ornamentals for the home grounds.
Bend all young and tender fruit
bushes and vines carefully to the
ground, place layer of straw on them
and cover lightly with dirt.
