An orchard neglected for one year
virtually puts it back three years.
The size OF an apple can be intlu.
enced to quite large degree by pick.
ing
Keep the orchard clear of all dead
brush, it being a harbor for injurious
insects.
The cellar used for storing fruit
must be kept cooler than the vege
table cellar.
The ideal time for picking apples is
a matter that must be settled to a
large degree by the individual.
The coolest weather does not Kill
the insects. Therefore spraying is the
safest method of killing them.
Pears and apples keep better il
picked little green. Some pears rot
from the core outward If allowed to
ripen on the tree.
The first advantage of fall planting
is that it induces the grower to get
his nursery stock earlier than If
planting in the spring.
Any kind of fruit tree will die when
planted in ground that is all the time
saturated with water. The tile ditch
is a necessity in such places.
Trees set out in the fall do better
when the winter is moderate, as the
ground is drier and the trees make a
greater growth the next season.
If your trees have been affected
with leaf blight during the summer
spray them with bordeaux mixture
after the crop has been gathered.
Fall pruning is better than no prun,
ing If you have some hardy varie.
ties of fruit trees that need pruning,
there is no danger in doing it in the
fall.

An Old Conductor

The following concerning Charlie Ran
ney will be read with great interest by
many all along the liue-of the St j. q
L. 9. -
Charles Ranney has left for his home
in St. Johnsbury after a few days visit
with old friends. He resigned his posi-
tion as conductor on the st. Johnsoury
e. Lake Champlain road last December
after 45 years of railroading. For IS
years Mr.. Ranney was on the mail run
ming between Swanton and st. Johns
bury and has had wide acquaintance
with the travelling public, particularly in
the Lamoille valley. He began setting
brakes in 1867 on freight train running
between White River Junction and New
port, ON what was then the Passumpsic
road. There were two trains a day each
way, at that time, a passenger and a
freight. To take care of the summer
rush " of travel an accommodation train
was put on for two months In speak
ing of his almost half century of rail
reading Mr.. Ranney says he has seeu
great changes in equipment and opera
ton. In those days the locomotives
were all wood burners, the air brake had
not been invented, brakes being set by
hand. There were no train dispatchers,
each conductor moving his own train.
After 10 years on the Passumpsic, he left
the road in March as conductor and
went on the Lamoille Valley road, COM
pleted between West Concord and Hyde
Park, and nearing completion through
to Maquam. In July, 1877, the first
train was run through to Swanton, an
a month later regular trains were on
with Ranney, conductor of the mail run
ming opposite to the late Sherman Park
hurst. Later the name was changed to
Portland & Ogdensburg Vermont Divis-
ion, and few years later on re-organiz
alton the present name of ST. Johnsbury
g. Lake Champlain was adopted. During
his long service Mr.. Ranney has been in
many accidents, off the iron, in the ditch
and into the meadows, and all kinds of
scrapes, but his only real bad one was at
Hardwick four years ago, when his car
rolled down the bank and he was so bad |
ly banged up that it was year and a |
half before he got back on the road.
In his retirement he takes with him |
the best wishes of everybody who lives,
or has lived, all along the line of this !
road, as we'll as those who have ever
travelled upon this railroad. May he |
live long and may his shadow never |
grow less, " " so say we all of us"

J. A. DeBOer For Governor
MORkISVILLE, VERMONT
(Island Pond Herald)

The republicans of Vermont will make
no mistake when they nominate for the
position of governor the Hon. Joseph A.
DeBver of Montpelier. His fitness for
that important position is already proved.
Proved both by his success as a business
man and more particularly by the alb
sence of political method in his candidacy
! for the position as governor, to say moth
of his credtable service in previous ses-
sions of the general assembly. At those
| times he showed that he could grapple
| with difficult public affairs and what is
more important, stand firmly onthis side
| or that when once convinced of the just-
ness of the side chosen. There has never
been any reason whatsoever for believing
that he has or ever will have recourse to
any sort of deception of the people by
which he might gain the governorship.
In the matter of his candidacy he has
shown fine sense and that adherence to
convictions that has been evident in all
of his more important undertakings.
The press representing the views of the
public have demanded reform in polt-
ical affairs in our state, more particular
ly in the business of electing men to fill
the highest Offices. Mr.. DeBoer is also
convinced that less politics and more
actual service is needed at the present
time. OF the present requirements of
whoever shall assume the responsible
ties of the office. Mr.. DeBoer is we'll
aware, although he has only as yet
spoken casually of the work yet to be
done. Later if properly encouraged to
make the effect he will no doubt, take |
the necessary steps to inform the people |
as to what his policy would be in the
event of his election.
That the people ought to be fully in
formed as to the ideas of each candidate |
in such important matters, etfectng |
nearly the interest of the public, such as
taxation and the extension of the educa
tiona system and the like, there can be
no doubt; but no man should be expected |
to eXpeEd thousands of dollars in SEN
sational political campaign" in order to
obtain ito position which entails more
sacrifice of means and peace of mind
than the honor of the position is worth.
The people are doing a little thinking
for themselves and the result Of the
thought will be approval of the dignified
attitude of Mr.. DeBoer. They more than
realize that he is standing for the sort
If reform in politics which will in future
make it possible for capable man of
United means to aspire to the governor
ship, the more they will wish to know
low he stands in other important mat
ers.

If our state realize that the nomination
II Mr.. DeBoer means step taken to get
n touch with fundamental national prin-
iples, that should govern the business

means to inform all other citizens as to
