Women and Children Subjected to Tor
In bulletin just issued, Rev. DR.. Cor
nelius H. Patton, secretary of the Amer

mitted in Armenia.
1.-The orders for the deportation of the
Armenian population come from the

he says. 'The first step of the progress
has been the elimination of all able

all such to enroll in the Army, though
they were not permitted to bear arms.
but were given all kinds of other SER
vice, like roadmaking, and evidence has
come that these have been brutally killed
by thousands.
Following the torture and murder of
the men the great body of the Armenian
people have been moved from their cities
and villages and driven in vast throngs,
with endless details of terrible suffering,
toward their death in the deserts of the
south. Gleanings from the reports of
missionaries, consuls and travellers who
have seen groups of refugees from many
centers of their via Dol rosa amply con-
firm all the reported horrors of the Jour-
ney.
women with little children in their
arms were driven along under the whip
like cattle. Some women became so
completely worn out and hopeless that
they left their infants beside the road.
Many women and girls have been out
ragged.
THE worst and most unimaginable
horrors were reserved for US at the banks
of the Euphrates and in the Erzingian
Plain. The multiated bodies of women,
girls and little children made everybody
shudder. At the Euphrates the bands
men and gendarmes threw into the river
all the remaining children under Is years
old. Those that could swim were shot
down as they struggled in the water.
"A wealthy and influential Armenian
and his two sons, according to reliable
witness, were placed one behind the other

SHEEP GREAT HELP
FOR The ORCHARDS
Of High Value in FertiIizing Soil
When Given Suitable Sup
Elementary Feed.

The greatest value Of sheep in an
orchard is found probably in their be-
ing used as means Of fertilizing or
chards that are bearing.
II put In somewhat early in the
spring and fed a suitable supple
mentary food with the grass which the
orchard may furnish, it win be found
that the sheep will thus convey fer
tility to the land, and they will do so
in a marked degree If fed on rich
kinds of food.
Such food may consist very largely
Oh wheat bran which is In itself a very
valuable fertilizer.
1t may be wise to encourage the
sheep to eat freely, to add q little
grain in the form of oats.
A little oil cake will also improve
the food.
The droppings thus left in the or.
chard will tend very much to its en-.
richment.
The outcome will be that where this
system is persevered In during consid.
cradle portions of the season the or
chard will thus be provided with lib.
eral application of fertility.

MAKE BIG EFFORT
TO RENEW WO0DLOT
When Second Crop Has Been
Cut Stumps Have Lost vi.
tality-Plant Seedlings.

by Fl. R. FLINT, Minnesota College of
Forestry
Special effort should be made to Sc
cure the reproduction of the trees re-
moved from the farm woodlot during
the cutting season just passed. In
many cases sprouts are counted on for
this reproduction and for certain pur-
poses such as fuel, posts and shelter,
they can be- relied upon to furnish the
desired material. When this second
crop is cut in its turn, however, the
old stumps have lost most, IL not all of
their vitality and unless some vigor-
GUS seedlings have grown up in the
meantime, the value of the woodlot is
greatly impaired. Since 1t requires
many years to build up a woodlot
which has been allowed to run out, it
is a wise plan to insure the production
Of some good healthy Seeding trees
each year by planting some seed of
desirable species in the openings Gre
ated by the winters cutting.
During early life the sprouts, be-
cause Of the advantage of a previously
established root system, will outstrip
the little seedlings and may deprive
them of the requisite amount of light
for good growth. Therefore, in the
first thinning or cutting of the sprouts
some special consideration should be
shown the young seedlings.
The method of planting the seeds
will depend upon the species used.
Walnut, hickory and all of the oaks
can be planted about two inches deep
In a hole made with dibble or spud.
The smaller seeds such as red and
white elm, maple and ash may be
planted by removing the coarser litter
from a small spot and putting on a
few seeds. covering them very lightly
with fine soil and little litter.
In many cases 1t is better to raise or
buy seedlings of the species having
small seeds and transplant them in
The desired location.

In this way saving the daily task for

as well as his physical power depends
upon his food largely and the grow
ing child should have nourishing,
plain, wholesome and easily digested

amount, as they are necessary to fur

at the close of the meal so that they
may not clog the taste for the substan-
tial things as they do If given before
or at the beginning of meal.
Another important point to remem-
Der with children is that their diges-
tive processes are much more rapid
than with adults, and they need a
good. substantial lunch.

fruits and the surplus of the gardens
preserved in various ways. Now is
the time to plan your next years work
Plum trees should not be pruned un
til late winter, or in the spring before
the sap starts.
A patch of ground, even so small as
the eighth Of an acre, planted with
the different kinds of berries, including
currants and grapes, and given good
attention and cultivation will supply
the average family with all the small
fruit that can be used, and enough
for winter besides. A few dwarf pears
peaches, plums and cherries will vary
the product in an agreeable way.
The common wild choke-cherry
bears a dark red fruit in large clus
tiers, which is much liked by some; is
an abundant bearer and a small tree
In spring it yields numerous fragrant
white flowers, and is worth growing
for ornament If for no other purpose.
For yard fence, try the hardy or
ange, Citrus trifoliata; plant in single
rows, Is inches apart. The bush is OF
dwarf, compact habit. making one OF
the most ornamental hedges, covered
in spring with thousands of sweet
smelling orange blossoms, and in the
fall with lot of little sour oranges.

Make map of your fruit garden as

on stiff cardboard, or smoothly
dressed board, making every tree, busf
or vine, every row Of small fruit, Civ

This will be found of especial value

Don't expect good fruit and plenty
of it unless you feed the trees and
bushes accordingly.
Large seeded grapes should be dis.
carded.
Ashes and bone are first rate ferti-
lizers.
Bury all bones about the roots of
vines and trees.
Strawberries may be grown the first
two years under the grapevines.
Make the soil rich before setting out
the vines and plants.
II large crop is wanted, give addi-
tional dressings of fertilizers, ashes
and bone dust.
Top-dress the orchard and fruit gar
den, but keep weedy manure out of
the strawberry patch.
Give the blackberries corner Of
cool land and cultivate for two years.
After that only cut back the tops and
thin out the old canes.
Trees in the fruit garden should be
headed low for reasons of convenience
and for other reasons affecting the well
fare of the trees. Only dwarf varieties
should be planted here.
For the fruit garden, the advice not
to trim is as bad as not to cultivate.
1t is the business of the tree to repro
duce itself. and the more limb, the
more seed in the fruit.
Mulching hill land that washes is
better, in many instances, than plow-
