The old trees that remain will pro-
duce enough fruit for the family until
the young ones come into bearing.
These young trees should be attend
ed carefully in the way of pruning,
spraying, cultivation, etc., in order
to keep them in healthy and active
growing condition. The old trees
that remain should also be pruned
and sprayed regularly to enable them
to produce more and better fruit and
also to prevent the spread Of insects
from them to the young trees. Two
years after the young trees have
been planted, the remainder Of the
old trees may be removed and this
half Of the orchard treated as was
the first. BY following this method
farmer can renew an old orchard
with good, healthy trees, and, at the
same time, will be supplied with
fruit every year If a new location
can be procured for the young trees
it might be better than placing them
on the old orchard site, since there
is less danger of fungus diseases in
soil where trees have not been grow
ing for several years.
Another farmer writes: "I have
several large apple trees. Can't tell
exact age, but would suggest them to
be 25 or 80 years old. They seem to
be healthy, but they are getting
mighty thick. The fruit is small,
wormy and rots very bad. What can
do for them?"

SENTIMENT OLD AND new

Things Worth While Picked Along
lLong Ago Laid Down Some From Days
The daily sentinel., 1914-01-08
(By EDWARD KEATING,)

(Congressman-at-La from CoIo.)
Washington, d. c., Jan. S.-The
standpat newspapers, from Gotham
to Walla Walla are Just now devot-
ing much space to prophecies con-
corning the collapse of Presidents
Wilson's program for regulating the
trusts, and to declarations that the
proposed presidential primary has
been abandoned. because of "opposi-
tion within the Presidents own
party"
These stories have strongly ia
miliar sound. They remind one of
the yarns which appeared in the same
papers during the fight for genuine
tariff reform and which bobbed up
again when the President insisted
that congress must dispose of the
currency problem at the extra ses-
sion. We were told then, Just as
we are now being told, that congress
would refuse to be 'bossed by the
President" and that the latter would
be compelled to back water" OF
course. when the test came the most
perfect harmony was found to exist
between the Legislative and execu-
tive branches of the government,
and the tariff and currency bills
went through the house and senate
with smashing majorities
The standpat prophets were con-
founded, but not siienced. They
proceed on the theory that If they
persist in fcrecasting defeat for Will
sons policies they stanu chance of
having their perspicacity vinoicated
at some point along the legislative
trail which the President must travel
during his four years in the White
House. 1t would, indeed. be re-.
markalhei if the President and con-
gress did not fail TO agree on at least
one substantial issue in four years
of discussion. Even in roulette the
little ball drops at 'double o" once
in while. So the prophets continue
TO prophecy-and hope for the
worst. 5a-
They are doomed to another
grievous disappointment. however.

study of the e"art OF war" We did
not have much left for such trivial
undertakings as the upkeep of the
agricultural department, the recla-
nation or our arid and swamp lands,
and the development of our country
through the construction of good
roads. Perhaps the most convincing
opponent of militarism in congress is
General Isaac r. Sherwood of Ohio,
the only Union general now occupy
ing a seat in the house. He entered
the rebellion as private. engaged
in forty-two battles and came out a
general, having been bevetted by
Lincoln for gallantry. He could quail
ify as an expert wit-ess on war and
its results, and this is what he said
on the floor of the house a few
months ago:
Sherwoods Views.
"A member of the naval committee
of this house said recently that the
way We are legislating now our ma
val budget will reach $3.50, 100000 in
| five years. Do you not think it is
time for some one TO brace up and
make some kind of an effort to
scotch this eXtravagant and demoral-
izing militarism and vampirism?
Let us see what eight years in
crease in army and navy has cost
the American people. The average
annual cost of army and navy for
eight years preceding the Spanish
war S90-1S9S), S51, 100000; the
average annual cost Of army and ma
Wy for the eight years since the Span
ish war (1902-f910). S1S5, 400, 900;
the average yearly increase in the
latter period as compared with the
| former, $134, 4,000,000; making to-
tai increase in eight years of S1,O72,-
| 600, or $50 per cent; all raised by
| heartbreaking taxation of the indus

This eight year increase exceeds

100000. 1t is three times the esti-
mated cost of the Panama canal, in

Another Prophecy Spoiled.
During the debate on the currency
bill, the republicans told US that if
we insisted on excluding bankers
| from representation on the federal
reserve board, the national banks
would refuse to come into the new
system and thus the whole scheme
would collapse. The democrats
called the bluff'-retained the pro-
vision which gives Uncle Sam su-
preme and exclusive control of the

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY WILL PREVAIL
ON ANTITRUST AND PRIMARY BILLS

will receive as many republican and

cratic majority will gather in one

That was very clever, and, | am

was referring to the old democracy

trembling from the shock of the Civil
war.
A new democracy is in control of
the government today. 1t is a de-
mocracy which insists on dealing
with present-day problems in goth

team work.; it has unbounded
faith in its leaders, and it is winning
its way to the hearts of the people

On Express COmpany's Car
Total Losses Can Not Be stimated the Blaze Was Dis
covered at Duncannon

Fire in a through Adams express
car, due here at o'clock yesterday
afternoon, destroyed thousands of dol
lars worth of merchandise. A COW
was also burned to death. The loss to
the Adams Express Company, which
will have to repay the shippers could
not be estimated by Edward E. San
ford, local manager for the company.
The damage may reach $4,000.
The fire. the origin of which is un-
known. was discovered at Duncannon.
The car was placed on a siding where
railroad men with volunteer firemen
at Duncannon fought the flames for
two hours. The car was a steel frame
structure, and was filled with general
merchandise enroute from points west
of Pittsburgh. to Harrisburg. Many
OF the shipments were to be transfer
