GOOD SOIL FOR BUSH FRUITS
All Varieties Should Be Grown In
Wide Rows to Allow of cultlva-
tion by Horse and Hoe.

The ground between the rows and
around the bushes should be kept
fine and mellow. If the soil is al
lowed to become hard and allowed to
grow up in weeds and grass, the yield
will be cut short, and the fruit will
be small and of inferior quality. All
bush fruits should be grown in wide
rows, so the greater part of the culti-
walton can be done with the horse,
hoe and cultivator.
The proper distance to plant cur
rants, raspberries, blackberries and
gooseberries in the fruit garden is
five feet apart each way for horse
cultivation. For the small family gar
den plant in rows five feet apart and
three apart in the row. This will al
low of the larger portion of the culti-
walton being done with the horse cul-
tivator. The ground around the bush
es must be broken up and mellowed
with the hoe. Expert fruit growers
maintain a dust mulch until the ber-
ries are half size, then thick coat
of long strawy manure, grass or rot
ted leaves is spread over the entire
ground about four inches thick.
This mulch prevents the growth of
weeds, and keeps the soil cool and
moist. When this method is fol-
lowed the yield will be greater, the
berries free Of dirt, and much larger
size, and of extra fine flavor. All
fruits succeed best when given plenty
of sunshine and air, along with intelli-
gent culture. The common practice
of planting the bushes along the gar
den walk or fence row is bad, as the
bushes cannot be cultivated econom-
ically. The yield and size Of the ber-
ries is greatly increased where there
is full supply Of moisture.
The irrigation for fruit and vege-
tables is being extended as a result
of tests made by practical men. The
method of irrigation for vegetables
and small fruits practiced by market
gardeners of Boston has been found
economical and profitable.

The Banana apple is well worth test
ing.
Pruning shears can be used every
month in the year.
The quickest growing tree for a shell.
ter belt is the willow.
Pear trees planted on thin ground
are not so apt to become blighted.
Prune the currants and gooseberries
as soon as the leaves fall, or early
next spring.
Strawy, stal1y manure makes an ideal
mulching fertilizer for both young and
old apple trees.
For farm Of 100 acres about 20
acres should be given up to the build
ings and orchard.
In ATTITUDES where crimson clover
will grow, try sowing it for cover
crop in the orchard.
While sandy soils are probably good
for strawberries, any soil not too rich
will bring good results.
The surest and quickest way of
eradicating white grubs in a green
house soil would be to steam it.
Potash should be applied to all
kinds of fruit trees, especially to
the peach and other stone fruits.
If climbing cutworms bother or

Ripen the pears in dark place.
They will assume fine color if ripen-
ed between the layers of wooden blank

Plow the ground for the late or
chard. Disk it in late fall and it will
be in good shape to plant next
spring.
Heel fruit trees in on well drained
ground, putting two feet of dirt on the
roots and covering the tops with about
six inches
Remember that the wood ashes that
come from the cook stove, fireplace or
furnace are the best kind Of fertilizer
for the orchard, lawn or garden.
TIE best fruit trees for small town
lots or gardens are peaches and cher
ries. Apple trees take up toe much
room and are much longer in coming
into bearing.

The Fairy Touch.

There are people who have the fairy
touch. In the intimate human asso-
Citations, held together by kindred
blood or by kindred ideals, these folk
of the fairy transmutation serve the
same invaluable purpose which genius
does to the world at large; they open
the hearts of men and bring them
close. The little circles where we
relax and commune, where we recur-
rertly meet few persons and pleas
ures, are met at times by sorrow,
owe much of their unity and favor
to people often of Indifferent accom-
plishment-but of the fairy touch. In
deed, they are not only like genius,
they have genius. The difference pc
tween them and the men Of more dur
able achievement is but a difference
of strength and of concentration. Sure
y they understand; and the gift of
expression is theirs, though it be but
fleeing. fragile, Clarence

east of this city a few days ago was
found the body of a trapper who had
met death in the grip of one of his
own traps. The man had passed the
ranch of Alb Alexander and had prom
ised to return in a few days for sup
plies. After five days had passed AL
exander started to hunt him up. The
trapper's horse was found tied to a
tree and about dead from lack of
water and food. Nearby was found
the frozen body of the man himself
gripped at the wrist in the powerful
jaws of a steel bear trap. 1t was
evident that he had made a fierce
struggle to free himself, but he could
neither pry open the jaws of the trap
nor free the anchor that held it. 1t
is probable that several days and
nights elapsed before he succumbed
The mans name is unknown and he
could not be identified by any papers

HORSES FOR CONSUMPTION
REFUSED AT SACRAMENTO

Sacramento, Dec. S.-Resolutions
commencing DR.. w. f. Snow, former
secretary, and regretting that he felt
himself compelled to resign, were
adopted by the four remaining men,
bers of the state board of health at
their meeting in the capitol.
Snow resigned because of differ
ence with the state board of health.
Since DR.. J. H. Parkinson of Sac
ramEnto is the only member who
could accept the secretaryship, be-
cause he resides in Sacramento, and
he already occupies that position by
virtue of his office as vice-president,
it is not thought the matter of per-
manent secretary will be taken until
Governor Johnson fills the three va
cancies on the board. Under rules
adopted for cold storage, cold storage
houses will have to pay $50 license
fee annually and submit to inspection.
In the matter of the application of
r. Edmund of Berkeley for permit
to slaughter horses for human con-
sumption, the board decided that
"since the question does not neces-
sarily come within the jurisdiction of
the board, the application is refused"

Unexpected Delay Occurs
In Canal Negotiations
With Southern Pacific

\ T. < fv
The directors of the irrigation dis
trict, who visited San Francisco few
days since and held conference with
William F. Herrin, chief counsel os
the Southern Pacific Company regard
ing the purchase of the irrigation sys
tenn by the district, have been await
ing reply to the definite proposal
made to the railroad, but instead of
acceptance, the reply, now received,
still further delays matters.
The question at issue is whether
the people shall take over the irriga-
ton system at a price which includes
the money expended in closing the
break in the Colorado, trusting to
the government to refund that money
to the district. The directors of the
irrigation district drew the line
against this, asking the Southern Pa
cific to assume the collection of the
account from the government.
The proposition made by Messrs.
Randolph and Ives, referred to in the
following letter, covers the sale at a

Two Peculiar Tragedies

Clifton, Ariz., Dec. 8.-Another
tragedy has been uncovered in the
lonely Blue river section, for years
resort of outlaws who found Sc
cure hiding place in its Businesses. A
couple of Clifton men, who just re-
turned from a hunting trip through
the Blue river district, report that
they found behind roughly built
stone wall the skeleton Of man who
had fought desperately before fatal
bullet came. Nearby were the rem
nants of a saddle, but no other pos
sible clew toward identification. 1t is
probable that the last stand of the un-
known within his crude fort was
made at later date than Indian
times and it is surmised that he was
traveller whose arms and property
were wanted by Mexican outlaws.

Fighting VivisectiOn.

(By United Press Associations)
Washington, Dec. 8.-The horrors
of vivisection and the cruelty of the
ruthless slaughter of birds and game
animals, were vividly portrayed here
today by speakers at the opening ses-
sions of the annual convention of the
international nti-Vivisection and An
imal Protection Society. Speakers de-
clared that vivisection as now prac-
ticed even in the most advanced lab
oratories of rich philanthropic insti-
tutions is "a blot on twentieth century
civilization" Special mention was
made of the prosecution brought by
members of the anti-vivisection So
ciety in Philadelphia. Secretary of
State Bryan, Senator's Gillinger and
Myers, and prominent leaders of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, and the Audubon Society
were scheduled to speak during the
three days convention. 1t was an
nounced today that resolutions will be
put through demanding federal legis-
lation prohibiting vivisection and max
ing game laws more strict.

Fail to Find Lopez

Bingham, Utah, Dec. 8.-Search of
more than half the Utah-Apex mine
for Ralph Lopez, the Mexican gun
man, was completed without result.
The probability that the slayer of
six men had escaped grew as depu-
ties appeared at the various tunnel
mouths with the announcement that
no sign of desperate, dead or alive,
had been found.
The poisonous gases forced into the
mine for the purpose of asphyxiating
Lopez after he had killed two depu-
ties in an underground battle a week
ago were cleared from all the pas
sageways and the search was contin-
ued in parts not yet explored. A dis
pute between a posse of Bingham cit
izens and the sheriffs arose and for

War Among Strikers

(By United Press Associations)
Calumet, Mich, Dec. 8-Real war
reigned today throughout the Michi-
gan strike district. From Mohawk to
Baltic, at opposite ends of the dis
trict, striking miners battled with
strike breakers, guards and posses.
Firing was almost incessant at several
places. No more deaths were report
ed this morning, but as the range ter
ritory was great it was feared many
killed are not reported yet. The
worst trouble of the strike is threat
ening.

a time brought the search to stand
still.
Sheriff Aljets of Toole county ac-
cused DR.. Straup, mayor-elect OF
Bingham, and others composing a
searching party, of having pooled a
bet of $1O1O that Lopez could not be
found dead or alive in the mine.
As an outgrowth of this the Bing-
ham men, who were most familiar
with the mine, refused to reenter un-
til late, when the disagreement was
adjusted.
The removal of cavein in the up
per workings showed that Lopez had
not taken refuge in the slopes be-
hind it, as had been thought. More
than 200 miners who were thrown out
of employment when the mine was
closed in order to fill it with gas, re-
turned to work in the lower levels.

industry in the islands, which through
the schools is being developed.
Exports to the United States last
year amounted to $19,S48,S85 and
were 81 per cent of the total as COM
pared with 43 per cent in 1912. Sugar
