The land was cleared by cutting the
sage brush with grub hoe, and piling

operator at a distance, but it requires
special receiving apparatus in the tor
pedo itself. II can perform what is
expected OF it, but it Is not practical
for the very good reason that the
operator cannot see far enough to ex-
ercise his judgment in the control OF
the instrument. Take a motor boat
1000 yards away-you can't tell eX-
actly how she Is heading. How much
harder then to judge the steering OF
a distant torpedo! The French navy
has already had trials with wireless
torpedoes, and what Ulivi has accom-
plished is probably an extension of
these experiments.
Now, what mysterious power Is 1t
that he has? Or, better. what is Ulivi
trying to obtain?
Briefly this: Some means of pro-
jecting energy through space that will
detonate some explosive at a given
place, subject to the control of the
operator.

The ION to the land" idea is being

they do this as a side line, while in

problems in agriculture in the same
analytical way as they did the prob

Moreover. these men and women have

PROFITABLE LIFE
OF A PEACH TREE
Thorough Cultivation More Es-
SentiaI Than Pruning-KiII
Out Insect Pests.

II is claimed that the most profit.
able life of the peach-tree is from four
to eight years. From a peach census
taken in Orange county, New York, 1t
seems that thorough cultivation is
more essential than pruning or spray
ing.
When cultivating the plum or cher
ry orchard, the work must be done
shallow, so that no roots may be bro
shoots that sap the life from the
trees.
An old fruit grower says that the
pick is the best tool he ever used
around apple trees, when the ground
has become too hard. He sinks the
pick or 10 inches into the soil and
merely Dries the dirt loose. and does
not disturb the roots in this way.
DO no. prune too closely. Pruning
may be done anytime in winteE or
early spring, but the wounds should
be covered at once with paint. An
old tree bleeds freely, and will suffer
IL there are a large number OF wounds
on It.
Diseased wood on a tree can never
be made new again. Cut It on and al
low another shoot to grow Every
day that such wood remains on a tree
adds to the liability of losing 1t.
II Is an excellent plan to white
wash the trees, filling the cracks in
the bark with lime, 50 as to fill up
many hiding places of fruit pests, al
well as to destroy many which are In
hiding.

seriously, land everything we have
said must be kept a profound state

1t Is no breach OF confidence to say,
however, that the commission has
unanimously reported in favor of
France securing the invention without
delay. no matter what the price. This
consists, stripped OF technicalities, OF
a special projectile emitting return in
