London, March 20.-Emile Wander

to annexing new territory to Belgium.
II Belgium shall be reconQuered and
Germany crushed, that fails to please
the lIrore ardent Axe Steele, the Rel
gian journal now publishing in Havre.
Belgians, M. Vandervelde declared,
are not ambitious, and the only part
they would be likely to annex is the
grand duchy of Luxembourg, providing
the Luxemburgers themselves wish 1t.
He added that il 1t could be done with
out injustice and by the consent OF
the people, some Of the bordering
country whose population is Belgian
rather than German might also be
taken over. But as to conquering and
annexing any true part of Germany,
that M. Vandervelde could not think Of.
The IKE Steele, answering the social
list minister, comes out for q greater
Belgium, and advocates the annexing
OF German territory to include AK

Both M. Vandervelde and the IKE
Steele are in turn criticized by the In
dependence Beige, published in London.
for their prematureness. It says edi-
torially:
Let us first say that it seems at
least inopportune to nourish projects
of conquest at a time when our
thoughts ought to be conferred on the
delivery of our country from German
domination.
Our heroic soldiers fall in the de-
Tense OF our country and not to rob
the Germans Of theirs. Let these
criminals be put in a position where
they can not hurt us, but let us have
no ambition to initiate them. Aix-la
Chappelle has always been a German
city. Besides, nothing would be more
absurd than to break the equilibrium
between the Latin and German ele-
ments of our country"

OF paper yarn would be satisfactory,
yarn having only small proportion of
the tensile strength of cotton or linen.
AS each garment would be burned aft.

hard wear. At the same time it would
easily be possible to make up paper

The Result of Thinning PeachAt
of Trimmed Peaches

| per cent and almost or fully double
the size of the peaches. 1t is better
to knock off some of the peaches of
loaded tree rather than allow the
tree to overbear, even if the thinning
must be done in a somewhat rough
manner.
On every side we see evidences OF
the great advantages to be derived
from thinning fruit. In one case, the
results of moderate thinning resulted
as follows: Peaches from thinned Ell
berta trees ran 140 to $50 peaches to
the bushel, while in the same orchard.
fruit from unthinned trees numbered
from 260 to 272 peaches to the bushel
Peaches are gathered as soon as
rlpening begins and before they have
become soft An experienced picker
knows at a glance when the fruit is
in proper condition The fruit should
never be pressed with the thumb to
determine it's ripeness. When gath
cred the fruit is taken at once to the
packing shed, where it is graded and
packed. The most rigid standards
should characterize the asserting and
packing of grades. One misshappen,
soft or understood specimen may spoil
the whole package Any deception,
either intentional or otherwise, in the
selling of the crop is sure at last to
bring loss.

While the advantages of thinnins
fruit are recognized by all, neglect OF
thinning fruit is more usual than the
opposite. Some effective thinning is
done at the time of pruning the tree
each spring, but this is not sufficient
The best practice requires that the
peaches on limb shall not be closer
than four to six inches. This will
mean knocking off from half to three
fourths Of the peaches. Some who
practice thinning peaches reduce the
number of peaches still more.
The best time for thinning is when
the peaches are about the size of a
small prune, and after what is known
as the June drop
The hired man, working on a STEP
ladder, makes the cost of the thinning
of medium tree about five cents.
The effect on the size of the remaining
fruit is astonishing, increasing the
salable value of the remaining fruit
sufficient to pay 1000 per cent on the
cost of the work of thinning, and add
ing to the strength of the tree in re-
ducing the number of pits borne.
The flesh of the peach is largely wa
ter. The greater draft on the
strength of the tree is the production
of the pits. In thinning peaches we
reduce the number of pits rs to so
