[FROM WEDNESDAY'S SEMI-WEEKLY.] Monday was a warm day—so warm that umbrellas were brought into use as a protection against the sun's rays. The Transtees of the Hotel & Building Association held a meeting at Scott & Montgomery's office on Monday. The new silver dollars are scarce in San Francisco. Mr. Plato sent for one, but was informed that none could be had. Mr. Truman, special agent of the Postal Department, has failed to induce the Department to put up street letter boxes in Los Angeles. We are indebted to Mrs. Schneider for two fine-looking and fine-tasting oranges, which were grown on her place in town. Each orange measured thirteen inches in circumference. Mr. G. S.

The last subscription towards the establishment of a cheese factory at Garden Grove was paid in on Monday, and a successfully working establishment is a thing in the near future. Attempts to grow coffee in this vicinity have in several instances proved failures. The seed would sprout readily enough, but that is as far towards coffee cultivation as experimenters have as yet succeeded in getting. All the offices of the Central Pacific and Southern Pacific Railroads were closed for two hours on Monday afternoon, out of respect to the late Mark Hopkins. The obsequies took place in Sacramento on Monday afternoon. The Legislature has granted the Southern California Horticultural Society $1,250 per year for two years. This will enable the society to offer handsome premiums for agricultural exhibits at the next two annual fairs. The flooring mill, about to be erected in Los Angeles by Messrs. Lankershim and Van Nuys, will contain eight run of stones, with a grinding capacity of from 200 to 225 barrels per day of twelve hours, and of 400 barrels when run twenty-four hours per day. Messrs. George Stinson & Co. Art Publishers, Portland, Maine, have favored us with several fine engravings and chromosomes of great beauty. Messrs. Stinson & Co. are the leading art publishers in the United States, and enjoy an immense and increasing patronage. Mr. T. S. Grimshaw, the enterprising wagon maker of this place, is importing direct from the East a fine assortment of plank, axles, poles, rims, plow beams and handles, singletrees, bows, etc., which he will sell to the trade at San Francisco prices.

We take the liberty of writing an open letter to our brethren of the press, throughout Southern California especially, for the purpose of commending to their good graces Mr. Robert Filkins, the press agent of Forepaugh's Great Show. Mr. Filkins is a gentleman of fine social qualities, thoroughly conversant with his business to the most minute details, and is a gentleman to whom the editorial fraternity should render every courtesy in their power. We learn from the Republican that J. A. Fisher, of Green Meadow district in this county, has set out 16,000 white ash on twenty acres of his land. As the wood of this tree enters into the manufacture of almost every conceivable article of farm use, we are inclined to think that Mr. Fisher has exhibited great sagacity in setting out this little forest. The trees when grown will be quite valuable for their wood, and in the meantime their handsome appearance and symmetry will be ample recompense for the care bestowed upon them. It was rumored in town on Saturday that the the hydraulic well borer belonging to Mr. Walton had again been damaged by some ruffian intent upon destroying the usefulness of that machine, and that the well at which it was at work had been filled up with old iron and debris. For the good name of our town we are glad to state, upon the authority of Mr. John Fischer, that such an occurrence did not take place and that Mr. Walton, instead of selling his machine to Mr. Sheffield and leaving the country in disgust as reported, has simply left his machinery in charge of Mr. Sheffield, as he was called to San Francisco by a telegram announcing the death of his brother in Australia. His business may make it necessary for him to go from San Francisco to Australia, and in such case, some disposal will be made of the well borer or it will remain housed until his return.

WEEKLY EIM GA ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1878. Forepaugh's Circus. Will some of those people who object to having a circus performance in town, please tell us what paticular harm resulted from the visit of Forepaugh's mammoth establishment yesterday? From early in the morning until late at night, the streets were crowded with visitors from the country and adjacent villages, and it was evident that nearly every store keeper and business man in town was benefited by the presence of this great concourse of people. There is little doubt that the experience of yesterday changed the minds of many of those who have heretofore held that that the presence of a circus in a community was to be dreaded, because of the money carried away. That's all gammon. Of the exhibition itself we have only words of praise. It is certainly the largest establishment that ever visited this part of the country. The men employed make a small army, and it is wonderful to what a variety of uses this small army is put. There are managers, performers, cashiers, blacksmiths, cooks, waiters, canvassmen, stable-men, drivers, painters, horse-doctors, etc., etc., and every one seems to be proficient in their particular sphere, and all appear to have enough business to keep them occupied. It is really wonderful what an immense amount of money Mr. Forepaugh has invested in his business. A small fortune alone is invested in rolling stock and wagon cars sleepers, etc. In company with Mr. Filkins, the press agent, we went down to th Norwalk and Artesia Items. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Two miles from Fulton's Sulphur Wells is the little railway station of Norwalk. Much of the produce, raised in Artesia and Old Los Nietos, is shipped from this place. From Mr. D. Wheeler, the gentlemanly agent of the S. P. R. R., we obtained the following list of shipments from Norwalk, for the year ending Dec. 31st, 1877: Bs. Grain...2,402,381. Wool...161,140. Hops...7,076. Vegetables...37,489. Merchandise...39,095. Live Stock...360,000. Hay...60,000. Lumber...32,000. Total...3,099,181. In this village there is a boarding house kept by Mr. J. A. Caldwell, and a store owned by Messrs. Speyor & Swigart. A saloon, blacksmith shop, and a few dwelling houses, comprise the remaining portion of the village. South of Norwalk is the tract of country known as Artesia. This region receives its name from the fact that artesian water can readily be obtained in almost any part of it. This district contains one of the most elegant and costly school houses in the county. We believe that it was built by the Land Company, and donated by them to the district. But the trustees have not received a deed of the property as yet, and for that reason, have neither fenced nor improved the grounds. This school is taught by Mr. T. K. McDowell, who recently had charge of the public school at Centralia. He has a first grade certificate, and has had considerable experience in teaching. There are 75 pupils enrolled on the register, the average daily attendance reaching nearly 60. Although this Valedictory Address. By special request of many of your Westminster readers we send you Mrs. Taylor's valedictory, read at the last Presbyterian social—the expiration of her fruitful year of faithful service as President of that society: J. T. Dearest Friends: We hardly can believe A year has passed away. This eve, Assembled in our festive hall, We come to lay our honors all aside. Not like a funeral pallet, Which covers over the lifeless dead, Fears which the quietening spirit's fed; Although we've reached our end and aim, Our interest remains the same. Our spirit and our will, even more Will urge to work than or before. Our task has been a pleasant one; And though perhaps we might have done Much more, or in a better way, Forgive the past; nor think to find Perception in final womankind. We'd like to give the praised that's due To all who've worked and carried through Our enterprises, bold and new; And all who have with willing mind Responded to the task assigned. The Savior had a chosen few, But one rebelfied and proved untrue. A Twelve could not more faithful be Or labor more harmoniously. Than have the twelve appointed here To lead the Socials through the year. And other ladies helped us too. Wherever we found them work to do— Dorm at Hall, or bake, or stew. And up and down the stairs they flew Like fairies, good and kind and true. And ever ready at our call, A few young men both strong and tall, Would fasten garlands on the wall Or hang our pictures, safe from fall And out of school, both boys and girls With nimble feet and flying curls, Were ready for an errand too, To help the work and see if through. But most of all, with love and pity, We look upon that wise committee— A Marquis, Lyman and Metley, As good as gold without aloy; Who ever ready at their post, To conquer obstacles, a host, Nor weariness nor hunger knew Until the Social," quite passed through, ``` It is really wonderful what an immense amount of money Mr. Forepaugh has invested in his business. A small fortune alone is invested in rolling stock and wagon cars sleepers, etc. In company with Mr. Filkins, the press agent, we went down to the depot yesterday to look at the immense string of cars. These cars are owned outright by Mr. Forepaugh—built especially for him, and are not extra or disabled cars owned by the railroad company, as are those which have been used by former circus managers who have visited this place. The animals in the menagerie are very fine specimens of their kind, and in number and variety fully realize the promises made in the advertisements and posters. The pyramid of five elephants is especially o be noted, as few persons can be made to believe that these unwieldy animals, place themselves in the positions indicated by the flaming colored posters which ornament the dead walls. The various performers in the circus are au fait in their profession. In fact, it may be truthfully said that Mr. Forepaugh fully performs all that he promises—which to our way of thinking is the greatest praise which can be bestowed upon a circus proprietor. Magnificent Floss Flax. We have received direct from George D. B. Magnus, Eaq., Copenhagen, the most superb specimen of floss flax we have ever behold. This beautiful preparation is as white as driven snow, and put up in the shape of cotton batting, with a delicate but strongly blended exterior, and an exceedingly soft, fleecy interior. The fibre is long, fine, and choice, susceptible of being made into most luxurious garments. As an industrial product and an article of commerce, flax holds a high rank, and it does seem rather strange that so valuable a commodity should have received so little attention from our agriculturists. It is not taken into consideration with sufficient weight, that California has now stepped out of her swaddling clothes and is no longer to be satisfied with pap and porridge. The wants and needs of old communities, grown prosperous and luxurious, begin to affect us with equal force, and if we do not produce for ourselves the means of satisfying them, we shall have to pay others for their provision. Experiment has proven beyond all question that our soils and climate are very favorable for the growth of flax, for which there is an ever increasing demand. Calcutta seed is now imported here at great expense and with corresponding profit to the growers, when we can and should raise all the seeds for our requirements. Oregon raises much more flax than California, and finds it a paying crop. The sample of Danish growth, sent us by Mr. Magnus, shows that its preparation South of Norwalk is the tract of country known as Artisia. This region receives it name from the fact that artesian water can readily be obtained in almost any part of it. This district contains one of the most elegant and costly school houses in the county. We believe that it was built by the Land Company, and donated by them to the district. But the trustees have not received a deed of the property as yet, and for that reason, have neither fenced nor improved the grounds. This school is taught by Mr. T. K. McDowell, who recently had charge of the public school at Centralia. He has a first grade certificate, and has had considerable experience in teaching. There are 75 pupils enrolled on the register, the average daily attendance reaching nearly 60. Although this school is so large, Mr. McDowell has his pupils under complete subjection, and teaches a very quiet and orderly school. We were much pleased with his method of teaching young pupils to read, and the recitations generally reflected credit upon the teacher. He needs an assistant very much, as he is doing the work of two teachers. He is paid a salary of $70 a month, which is very little for the amount of labor which he performs. He would not be overpaid if he should receive $100 per month. From the tower of the school house one can obtain an bird’s eye view of the surrounding country. The Los Nietes valley, Los Angeles, Anaheim, Westminster and the ocean are plainly visible. During the drouth, the artesian wells very materially decreased their flow, and some of them ceased to flow altogether. But since the heavy rains of last winter, the flow of the wells has increased by, at least, one-third of their former supply; even artesian wells are not proof against such long continued droughts. There are some artesian wells which fall short of over flowing by a few feet. This inconvenience can be remedied by an ingenious device constructed by Mr. B. F. Stahl, of Westminster. It consists of a powerful windmill, with a powerful pump attached, which raises a large amount of water in a few hours. This windmill is adjustable, and so constructed that it does a great amount of work with a very light wind. A mill and pump of the kind just described can be seen at the residence of J. Gilson, a few miles out west of Anaheim. These mills and pumps will very considerably enhance the value of artesian wells, and make farmers who possess them, less fearful of drouth. Bones to be Ignored, not Hanged. SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.—At the Workingmen’s meeting on the sand lots yesterday afternoon the following report of the committee appointed to investigate Senator Bones was read: To the Workingmen’s Party of California: The Alameda County Central Committee in conference with a Committee appointed at a mass meeting in San Francisco, to investigate the conduct of Senator Bones, respectfully report that Senator-Bones has acted in such a vacilating manner that we now believe he is not possessed of common sense. We extend to him the pity and commiseration which is generally conceded to imbeciles. He has advocated measures in a direct way and then voted against them. We also believe that the political thieves of which the present Legislature is composed have used the poor old man as a tool to bring dissension into our ranks. They believed if they could induce the poor old man to vote for some very obnoxious measure that the workingmen would rise up in their just indignation and deal To lead the Social through the year. And other ladies helped us too. Where we found them work to do— Adorn the Hall, or bake, or stair And up and down the stairs they flew Like fairies, good and kind and true. And ever ready at our call. A few yung men, pooring and tall, Would face our pictures, safe from fall. And out of school, both boys and girls With nimble feet and dying curls. Were ready for an errand too. To help the work and see it through. But most of all, with love and pity. We look upon that wife committee—A Marquis, Lyman and Moloy, As good as gold without alloy, Who, ever eager at their post, To conquer obstacles, a host. Nor weakness nor hunger knew Until the Social, quite passed through, They h-meward turned to rest at last A few short hours, so quickly past, And promptly on the morrow’s morning Returned to view the sign form— The end disorder, And dishes plains many a score. Sure that they test to try the soul. And make one long to reach the goal. Have hearts, quick hands and active feet At last the weary work complete. And when we counted o’er our gains We felt well paid for all our gains. You think, perhaps that we have done, But there’s the singer; every one. Who’s helped us; we would like to pour Our thanks upon them; der’d over; And ever ready; we believe. To credit all that we receive. We thank our husbands, brothers, sons, Young men and maids; little ones, And all who have with right good will Our empty treasury helped to fill. Little drops of water make the noble rivers; So the dimes and half dimes bleast the noble givers; While they fill our coffers, ready for the builders. And now, our year work wholly done, Five hundred dollars fairly won. We rest till to-morrow’s sun; We pain would see the church begin; And wish before you leave this hour. You’d pledge at least five hundred more. Come gentleman; now one by one And lay your tens and treasures down Without a sigh; without a trown; And soon; an honor to the town; You’ll see the corner stone go down; The building high and higher rice; Until the spire points to the skies; And then completed; you will find A pleasure of the race kind. In walking down the long bread able; In carving flowers will seem to smile; And cushions set too short will seem; And lined intersects the theme; No cruel blast will round you blow; Entailing skiness; pain or wise; But gentle zephys; soft and low; Yet whence they come and whither go; The builders only rightly know. Then at head of your own pew, Your family around you lost. You’ll think that little money lent; Unto the Lord; was wisely spent; And wish you had in many ways. Denied yourself more to raise Take up the cross; give God the praise; Come write a good round hundred down; Twill make one level in your crown. The London Dust-Man. There are more than 300,000 inhabited houses in London, consuming more than 3,-500,000 tons of coal a year, and besides the ashes from this great quantity of fuel,the dust-man gathers the other refuse ofthe houses.He is employed by a contractorwho agrees with the corporation to removethe ashes,eat,,out ofthe city,andthe contractor divides every load into six parts.as follows: Soil or fine dust which is sold tobrick-makers for making brick,and to farmersfor manure; brize.or cinders,sold tobrick-makers for burning bricks;rags,bonesand old metals,sold to marine store dealers;old tin and iron vessels;sold to trunk-makersfor clamps;bricks，oysterand other shells,sold for foundationsand road building;andold bootsand shoes,sold tothe manufacturerof Prussian blue.Sometimes much more things than these are found,and an open throughly the most minor whom the reader every that J. district in this late ash on the wood of nature of alarm use, we other has ex- out this will be and in theiance and case for the Saturday belonging damaged by the well at enn filled up the good name upon the such an that Mr. hine to Mr. disgust machinery in is called to bouncing the His busi- him to go and in such of the well until his reA poison of any conceivable description and degree of potency, which has been intentionally or accidentally swallowed, may, it is said, be rendered almost instantly harm-less by swallowing two gills of sweet oil.

We extend to him the pity and commiseration which is generally conceded to imbeciles. He has advocated measures in a direct way and their voted against them. We also believe that the political thieves of which the present Legislature is composed have used the poor old man as a tool to bring dissension into our ranks. They believed if they could induce the poor old man to vote for some very obnoxious measure that the workingmen would rise up in their just indignation and deal out the traitor the fate which he recommended for himself if he proved recrent to his trust, but the accursed political thieves will fail now as they have before they passed the law gotten up by District Attorney Murphy, which is a lasting monument to his ignorance of law and justice. Workingmen, be cautious! If you are, victory will soon be ours. You have been law-abiding in the past and we know you will be in the future. Do not give our enemies a chance by any act of ours to destroy us. Let us bide our time; we shall soon place laws on the statute books to punish traitors and such thieves as we believe infest the State Legislature at the present time. The Committee recommend workingmen to entirely ignore Bones in the future. Brilliant Billiard Feat. St. Louis, March 30.—Another marvelous feat in billiards was performed last night by Schaeffer, in playing off his tie with Dion. The game was to decide who should take the first and second money, and during it Schaeffer made the highest run ever made with a cue. In the match three-ball game the score was as follows: Schaeffer, 0, 2, 429, 62, 70, 26, 34, 118, 6—average 50; Dion, 0, 7, 19, 4, 15, 73, 25, 6, 15, 7, 24—average, 11. The largest previous run was 417, made by Sexton. Mr. Moody, addressing young converts in his Springfield meeting, advised them to avoid Free Masonry, Odd Fellowship, novel reading, horse racing, card playing, theatre and business partnerships and marriages with unconverted persons. Concerning the latter, he was very decided, saying he hoped for the time when clergymen would refuse to join such persons in marriage, as Mr. Spurgeon now does. An old lady tells the following story: "One day a Newfoundland dog and a mastiff had a sharp quarrel over a bone. They were fighting on a bridge, and over they went into the water. The banks were so high that they were forced to swim some distance before they came to a landing place. It was very easy for the Newfoundland; he was as much at home in the water as a seal. But not so for poor Bruce; he struggled and did his best to swim, but made little headway. The Newfoundland dog quickly reached the land, and then turned to look at his old enemy. He saw plainly that his strength was fast failing, and that he was likely to drown. So what did the noble fellow do but plunge in, seize him gently by the collar, and, keeping his nose above water, tow him safely into port! It was funny to see these dogs look at each other as they shook their coats. Their glance said as plainly as words, 'We'll never quarrel again.' GAZETTE. 6. 1878.

Having learned by accident that a small book on Orange Culture had been published in Florida, we sent to the author and purchased a copy. And we propose, from time to time, to give such extracts from the book as we think will be of interest or benefit to our readers. In this issue we give the chapter on TRANSPLANTING. Before the work of transplanting begins; the soil for the grove should be well prepared. It is most generally the case that the great hurry to get the trees into the ground causes much neglect, but this policy is a bad one. The haste should have reference to the early fruiting and rapid growth of the tree; and they are not brought about by careless preparation of the soil. The soil should be deeply and thoroughly broken and the ground cleared of the roots. To insure the setting of the trees a proper and uniform depth the ground should be well leveled with harrow or drag. No manure should be used at the time of setting, nor before, unless applied some months before setting and thoroughly incorporated with the soil. The best time for setting tree is the late winter or early spring before the new wood has started. The ground is then cool and the roots in as dormant condition as at any time during the year. It is better that the ground should be wet and the setting followed by showers. But wet soil is not so essential at this time of the year as it is when the transplanting has been done later Blaine and Conkling: An exchange revives the following from a debate in the House in 1866 to explain why Blaine and Conkling didn't speak for seven years: Mr. Conkling desired to add that no Commission, paper or authority whatever is issued to him, except the letter of retainer which had been read. If the member from Maine had the least idea how profoundly indifferent to him his opinion was on the subject he had been discussing, or on any other subject, he thought he would hardly take the trouble to express it. He apologized to the House for the length of time occupied in consequence of being drawn into the matter by an interruption which he had before denounced to be ungentlemanly, impertinent, and having nothing whatever to do with the matter. Mr. Blaine said he knew that this was what they called down East "running emptying." The gentleman from New York could not get off on the technical pretense that he did not hold a commission as a Judge Advocate. Many an officer had led a brigade, a division or a corps with no more of a commission than such a one as the gentleman from New York held. As to the gentleman's cruel sarcasm, Mr. Blaine continued: I hope he will let me escape his disdain.

Sometimes much more then them are found and the depth the ground should be well leveled with harrow or drag. No manure should be used at the time of setting, nor before, unless applied some months before setting and thoroughly incorporated with the soil. The best time for setting tree is the late winter or early spring before the new wood has started. The ground is then cool and the roots in as dormant condition as at any time during the year. It is better that the ground should be wet and the setting followed by showers. But wet soil is not so essential at this time of the year as it is when the transplanting has been done later and the ground and sun are warmer. If the work of transplanting has not been completed before the warm, dry weather of Spring has set in and before new wood has advanced far, it is best to defer the work till the frequent showers of August and September begin to fall. Good results sometimes follow Summer. Fall and Winter planting, but these seasons are not so good as the months of February, March and April. One exception to this rule should be stated. Where trees are to be set under forest protection so that they will escape any damage from frost, the late Fall is the best time, as trees set at that time are well established and ready to start by the Spring. In taking up the trees great care should be taken to prevent breaking or bruising the roots. As many roots as possible should be taken up. If the distance from the nursery to the site of the grove be short, and the nursery rows have been well manured with muck, and the ground is wet at the time of lifting the trees from the nursery, much of the soil can be taken along with the roots. Immediately on lifting the roots from the ground they should be trimmed with a sharp knife wherever they are found to have been bruised or broken. The lower part of the tap-root also should be cut off to prevent its doubling up on being reset. Twelve or eighteen inches is sufficiently long for the tap-root. Put the tree under shade and cover the roots with wet moss as soon as possible. Do not allow the fibrous roots to dry, as they are very delicate and soon perish. Keep them protected up to the moment of setting, taking but one tree at a time from its covering of moss. To insure still further against damage to the tender roots, have on hand a half barrel of muck made into a thin paste and as fast as the trees are lifted and the roots trimmed, plunge the roots into this thin paste, take them out and wrap in moss. The holes for the trees should be freshly dug. The work of setting the trees is easily and rapidly done by three hands working together—one to dig the holes, one to prune and set the tree, and a third to fill in. The holes should be dug in the shape of an inverted saucer or truncated cone with about two inches of the top cut off. Proceed thus: Around the stake which marks the place for the tap-root, with a shovel or hoe take away the soil, letting the tool strike the top of the soil at the stake and continue to dig deeper into the soil until at a distance of eighteen inches from the stake it has penetrated six plying. Could not get off on the technical pretense that he did not hold a commission as a Judge Advocate. Many an officer had led a brigade, a division or a corps with no more of a commission than such a one as the gentleman from New York held.

His lordly pomposity, his grandiloquent swell, his majestic overtowering, his turkey-gobbler strutting have been so crushing to myself, and to all members of the House, that I know it was an act of the grossest ternity on my part to venture on provoking them. But I know who was responsible for it all. I know that for the last five weeks an extra strut has seized the gentleman. It is not his fault—it is the fault of another. That gifted and satirical man, Theodore Tilton, of the New York Independent, was over here spending some weeks and writing home letters, among the cruelest of which was one claiming that the mantle of the late Winter Davis had fallen upon the member from New York. He (Conkling) took it as serious, and has since strutted more than usual. Well, the resemblance is as striking as Hyperion to a Satyr, Theresita to Hercules, mud to marble, a dunghill to a diamond, a singed cat to a Bengal tiger, a whining puppy to a roaring lion. Shade of the mighty Davis, forgive the almost profanation of that jocose satire! Gored to Death. The Lompoe (Santa Barbara county) Records gives particulars of a sad occurrence, by which Mr. S. M. Bailey of that place was killed: On the morning of Friday, 8th inst., he was about to saddle his horse to go to town, when seeing the bull around, he took up the pitchfork and advanced to drive him away. To his surprise it faced him, and he had to strike more vigorously. Probably the prongs entered the mouth and throat and gave the creature a taste of blood. Quick as a flash, it rushed at him, striking the pitchfork out of his hand and knocking him down. Then it began thrusting, goring and butting with all its force his prostrate form. His only chance to ever almost immediate death was to catch small ring in its nose. This he succeeded in doing with his left hand, and held on, mitigating the blows, and warding them from vital parts till his hand became perfectly numb. In attempting to change to other hand he lost his hold. For a full hour he struggled with the infuriated brute, unable to rise. His wife and son being both absent, there was no one within several miles but a very deaf man, engaged in building a fence. A little dog drew his attention to the fearful struggle going on. Going to the rescue, the bulldown on him, and he had to jump down a steep creek bank to avoid it, and he had to drive in the cows to entice the animal away. Even then Mr. Bailey was so large a man and so helpless, that unaided, the man could not lift him, and had to summon neighbors from adjacent ranches while he went to the town for a doctor. Mrs. Bailey was at once telegramged to, and came from Santa Cruz im- The holes for the trees should be freshly dug. The work of setting the trees is easily and rapidly done by three hands working together—one to dig the holes, one to prune and set the tree, and a third to fill in. The holes should be dug in the shape of an inverted saucer or truncated cone with about two inches of the top cut off. Proceed thus: Around the stake which marks the place for the tap-root, with a shovel or hoe take away the soil, letting the tool strike the top of the soil at the stake and continue to dig deeper into the soil until at a distance of eighteen inches from the stake it has penetrated six inches below the surface. Proceed thus around the stake until it is completed. This gives the greatest depth of the hole on the outer edge, or perimeter of the circle. Now take up the stake, cut two inches of the top off the cone. Where the stake stood, push down the spade by working it back and forth until it has penetrated the ground about eighteen inches, or the full length of the tap-root of the tree to be set. Now insert the tap-root in the hole made by the spade. Be careful not to set the tree deeper than it grew in the nursery. With the hand pack the soil firmly around the tap-root. Next spread the lateral roots over the cone, taking care to distribute them evenly over the cone. Throw on two inches of dirt and press it firmly with the feet. Finish by throwing in soil and leveling the ground, leaving the last layer of soil untrod. Before the tree is left it should be trimmed with shears in proportion to the trimming done to the roots. If planting is done in Summer or in hot weather and the ground is not protected by forest trees it is better to mulch. If trees are older than three years, and wild grown, it may be necessary to dig the holes deeper than directed above, but the point of this caution is against deep setting. The writer is satisfied that more trees have been diseased and retarded in their growth, and frequently killed, by deep setting than by any other one cause. Lord Lonsdale has named one of his horses "Tommy up a Pear Tree," and the aratocracy of England is splitting its sides over his inimitable wit. If a costermonger had named his mule "Tommy up a Pear Tree," everybody would have said, and rightly, that costermonger was a fool. But humor by a lord is one thing and that by a costermonger another. An arrested "moonshiner" says there are about 200 illicit distilleries in Putnam county, Tenn., five being in a circuit of one-half mile. Every bushel of corn used produces an average of two and a half gallons of whiskey, and the price of corn in that locality seldom reaches fifty cents a bushel, making the price of whiskey less than twenty cents a gallon. It is generally sold at from one to three dollars per gallon.
