that was what he meant the country
to know, whether the laws purpose
was good or bad.
Wrath Over English Treaty.
The next year the people knew what
Mr. Jay had done. He reached New
York May %, 1896; and the treaty
he brought with him was laid before
the senate on the 8th of June. On
the I'd of July the country knew what
he had agreed to and the senate had
ratified. There was an instant out
burst of wrath. 1t swept from one
end of the country to the other.
The treaty yielded SO much, gained
SO little, that to accept it seemed a
veritable humiliation. The northwest
ern posts were, indeed. to be given up
at last; the boundaries between Eng
lish and American territory were to
be determined by commissioners; un-
/
| herself, and a free direct trade with
her East Indian possessions, we're con-
ceded; but not a word was said about
the impressment of American seamen;
American claims for damages for un-
coveted trade with the West Indian
referred to a commission, along with
American debts to Englishmen; the
coveted trade with the West Indies
islands was secured only to vessels
of seventy tons and under, and at the
cost of renouncing the right to ex
port sugar, molasses, coffee, cocoa, or
cotton to Europe
Washington agreed with the senate
that notifications of the treaty ought
not to be exchanged without a modifi
cation of the clauses respecting the
West Indian trade, and October had
come before new and better terms
could be agreed upon; but he had nc
doubt that the treaty as whole ought
to be accepted. The opposition party
in congress had refused to vote money
for an efficient navy, and so had made
it impossible to check British aggres
sions; they must now accept this I'm
palatable treaty as better at any rate
than war.
Storm RACES Fiercely.
1t was hard to stand steady in thu
storm. The country took fire as
had done at the passage of the Staml
Act Harder things had never beer
said of king and parliament than wer'

CARE NEEDED FOR ORCHARDS
FIre-BIight, Most Destructive Of Pear
Tree Diseases, Should Be
Checked at Once.

Orchards that are bearing heavily
will need attention at this season to
prevent serious breakages from the
weight of the nearly grown fruit. OF
course, growers are enjoined to thin
out their apples, pears and peaches
to such an extent that the branches
will not break beneath their burdens,
but as matter of fact, not one grow
er for family use merely-out of one
hundred-has time or strength for
this task, and, indeed, in most sea-
sons much fruit falls from insect
work, which relieves the trees though
not exactly in the way that the owner
would prefer, says a Missouri writer
in the Farm Progress. A half day
spent in propping overburdened
branches is the best alienation for
Manipulating and often saves trees
from serious injury and mutilation.
Another duty that should be sedu-
lousy performed is to have all fallen

Manure for Strawberries.

Well-rotted stable manure is one OF
the best fertilizers for strawberries.
If coarse manure is used it should be
plowed and allowed to rot before the
plants are set. Good barnyard ma
nure may be termed complete fertil-
izer, and when applied in sufficient
quantities the plants are supplied
with all OF the necessary elements
for growth. Not only does it furnish
the plants with food, but it also i'm

soil, rendering it mellow and friable-

and deeply buried, If 1t cannot be
led to pigs.
The most convenient way to do this
Is to have ditch rod or more long
and about foot and half deep, dug
In some convenient spot and, begin
ming at one end, dump each time as
much of the refuse into it as can be
covered with six or seven inches OF
earth. This is deeper than any. but
the very largest insects burrow for
pupation and consequently any larvae
In the fruit will be smothered as will
also most rust and blight germs.

Most pears should be picked while
still green and hard, If, upon exami-
nation the seeds are found to be OF
full size and beginning to color. After
gathering place them on shelves in a
dark but not too close closet. They
will soon begin to mellow and color
and in a few days will be in prime
condition for eating The honied
seckel is an exception to this rule
and is best completely ripened on the
tree.
Fire-blight, the most destructive of
pear-tree diseases, should be checked
as soon as observed, by cutting of
the infected branch or limb, cutting
not less than six inches below the
diseased portion and being careful to
dip the shears used in the process
into a Jar of alcohol and carbolized
water, to neutralize any germs that
may adhere to them between every
cut. Also burn all the trimmings.

For two years Washington watched
the slow gathering Of the storm, warn
ing those who resisted, keeping con-
gress abreast of him In preparation
for action when the right time shodld
come, letting all the country know
what was afoot and prepare its mind
for what was to come. 1t must have
won him to a stern humor to learn
that seven thousand armed men had
gathered in mass-meeting on Brad
docks field to defy him. At last he
summoned an army of militia out of
the states, sent it straight to the law
less counties, going with 1t himself till
he learned there would be no serious
resistance-and taught the country
what was back of federal law. Hamil-
ton had had his way, the country its
lesson.
Jefferson'e Sheer.
"The servile copyist of Mr.. Pitt
thought he must have his alarms, his
instructions and plots against the
constitution" sneered Jefferson. 1T
aroused the favorite purposes of
STRENGTHENING government and increas-
ing the pablo debt; and therefore an
instruction was announced and pro-
claimed and armed against and
marched against, but could never be
found. And all this under the sane
ton of name which has done too
much good not to be sufficient to Gov
er harm also"

member of the cabinet. for imperative
private interests had withdrawn him
these six months and more, but none
the less redoubtable in the field of
controversy.
For long, nevertheless, the battle
went heavily against the treaty. Even
Washington, for once, stood a little
while perplexed, not doubling his own
purpose, indeed, but very anxious
what the outcome should be. Pro-
tests against his signing the treaty
poured in upon him from every quar-.
ter OF the country; many of them

after the paroxysm of the fever is a

like that against a mad dog; but he

Renewing Old Strawberry Beds.

Strawberries are rarely profitable for
more than one crop. If the patch is
to be fruited, NOW off the old vines
after picking 1t over and remove them.
and then pillow out the old plants,
leaving the runners to renew the
patch. Subsequent treatment consists
of clean cultivation as fes q Pew

BERRY SEASON IS
PRACTICALLY over
PLuMS AND WESTERN PEACHES
NOW HOLD THE BOARDS IN
cITVs FRUIT MARkETs-cAN-
TALouPEs GETTING BETTER IN
QUANTITY AND QUALITY.

Western peaches and plums are the
chief factors in the Fargo fruit mar
ket at present, according to the local
commission merchants.
They have been coming in from Cal
ifornia In large quantities during the
last three weeks or so, and during the
past few days the advance guard of
the Washington crop has begun to ar
rive.
The prices on this fruit are some
what higher than last year.
The berry season is practically over
only a few rasbberries and loganber-
ries still remaining on the market.
There are also chiefly from the far
west, only small part of the Mime
sofa crop finding its way to this part
of the country.
The new crop Of oranges has not ar
rived as yet but most of the dealers
are still well stocked from last year
This years crop is expected to be ~
during the course of the next month
or so.
Cantaloupes are steadily on the in
crease in quantity, and are steadily
improving in quality, Apples are
also unusually plentiful for this time
of year and are unusually cheap.
Only few grapes have so far
found their way to the local market
and those that have arrived COM
mand such prices that only 'malefac-
tors of great wealth" can afford them
The grapes will begin to arrive in
large quantities in the course of an
other fortnight or so, however,,
Bananas, while plentiful at present
are expected to increase in price in
the near future, and it is probable that
bananas and cream will not be such
a popular dish during the coming win
ter, as it has sometimes been during
the past. ....
