An epidemic of disease among horses

Added to the actual monetary loss is
that due to delayed farm operations

Method for Fastening Growth of Trees.

Newspapers throughout the country
have been paying much attention to a
new method of hurrying the growth Of
trees that Is practiced by the department
of agriculture, and which is called in
arching." This process has been found
to make a Seeding bear fruit within two
or three years, according to the variety
OF the tree, when by ordinary methods
1t would not bear for eight or 10 years.
The result is obtained by scraping the
bark from mature tree and from the
Seeding, and binding the wounded
trunks together. The strength OF the
older tree is communicated to the seed
ling, and after a time the old tree is
cut away and the new one hourishes.
