TBKE PfcANT NO. Tho following 18 a paper read by Mr a L. rhllllpB at tho last meet- log of the I'oaiologlcal Society De cember 23th, 18S9. Mr. Chairman and Gentleman: In coming before you on the BUbJcct of tree planting it 1b with u feeling that I may not meet your vlowp, and that I may tread on some of your "cherished sprouts," but If I can stir up an lutcn-st, or put somebody to thinking on a ma ter that Is of vital Importance to your welfare, and fur-rcuculnic, both to tho fruit grower and to the coun try, I shall feel amply rowardod for roy effoit. It has been In tho paat too often considered that an apple was an apple, and a peach n peach, without much thought being given to tho quality or kind of fruit it would pro duce nud In plantlug, how muoh ground ought to bo given togrow on; Home setting out with an idea (If any they have) that all tho space they needed was for tho first few years growth and for plowing, though, that was tho last thought many seem to glvo lowurds cultiva tion, as most of the old orchards aro pr rfcqtly Innocent of tho cultiva tor or tho pruning knife. Since. though, lucre lias been some "sluBhlug" done which always seemed barbarous to mo. They may have, and I think most of them did consider, that by put ting them cIobo they Would got tho mora fruit from a kIvuii amount of ground. Hut thoro never was a more fallacious Idea, and more often they defeated tho end ltt vlow. To liayo a tree thrive and give results at harvest time ouo muHt give It rootu, at tho roots to spread and gatuer nourishment for both branch and fruit; and I think most of you would bo surprised could you wash tho soil from tho roots of a good sized tree without tearing away any of them, to see how far they spread near tho surface. Many seem to supposo that n tree's roots run straight down like pout. Then again there should more room bo given lor tho branches to spread, which thoy will not do If they aro too close. The llmbu will seek ttu open place where thoy can gut air and sunllgtit, as tho leaves aro tho lungs of utreo and thoy mtisthavo sunlight and rain. You huvo nil noticed how n shower freshous and Invigorates tt true, even though Meno reaches tho ground beneath, owing to tho fact that rain washes tho dust from tho leaves, opening tho jwros that they may tako up tho moisture nnd gather nourishment from tho air. Therefore, whou wator Is supplied to a young trvu with a hose, If It was showered over tho treo it would do vastly morn good. Thoy say thot proimr trvo plant lug Is a preventive for n dlieuso that will tako a radical treatment to cure. First, lay otr tho ground that you wish to set to trees, giving them ample room, not less than twenty foot apart for any kind of mv, nud most, such us for Instance, an apple, twenty-IIvo or thirty feet, and more would bo no detriment, Then se lect trees to Jit your ground, and not buy mo many tree and squecxe them Into a small space, thinking orha that smite may die out by-und-hy uud leave them about right. Hut trees haw n contrary K way of turning up their toes lu the ., wrong place. Blioubl tho trees bo too close their U'tideiiey will be to ,'o to wtm" I 'J tuwurw the Imildlug or tho j tho iWer lltnlw that huvo uo elmm-o !;)rk u , of , , AtthuHunund nilu will die, Iw'twcmtliuuHl thnuiKhout tho win-J luyfulonK stem with a htnth top J tcr, hut the erewalu the uclvjliUir that, If It luu ntiy fruit, It will l liMof Saddle tnountaln will U laid too "hltf h tw tho tKv to ,nn I xl" for nlHHU two "'Wth, RIIOW ul loo iiigu WUN tH to ni.

In setting out trees I prefer early winter time, whou tho gnnmu Is not frozen, as they throw out root lets after being banked at the nursery, wileh one gets the benefit of, besides It takes up and retains tho moisture, and tho soil gets ''set" to the roots bo that ono gets the benefit of the early spring growth oflhorootjtbatJsguthrrlugstrengtb for tho dry summer. In digging the hole for tho tree jnako It largo and deep, and to an one who asks how broad and how deep) I tuny there Is uo danger of getting Jr, ,(oo extensive, but make her Wg nnol "way down." Thpn when you have It drg, Khould Jt be moist ground, put li. tho bottom a liberal supply of mu lture, flllliielupn this, dirt for Hit J rjots, and should thero bo alkali, tin there Is lu most bottom land here, lots will act us a cheek to Its rising and burnlug I he roots; but should thosoll Jra light or dry upland, then (hp manure should be on or near tin surface, as then the rain filtering through 1c carries the rich subBtancc down to the roots, leaving tho drj pulp at the surface, where It will not "lire" tho ground, but act as u mulch to hold moisture, and by cul tivation It will be gradually worked down. Bet tho tree well down with the roots well spread, pict-slug the soil about them, Tho treo should be set deeper than it grew In tho nur sery, Young trees ought, after spring plowing, to have mulch of partly rotted manure or dry straw thrown about them, as It Is wonderful how It will retain the molstuio lu the grouud beneath during thesummer. Rich, fresh mauuro should not be placed near a tree, as In heating It will Injuro and often if there bo much of It, will kill. Au orchard ought to have at least two plowlngs, once In early spring, then about April or May, when it should bo well harrowed down, as tho grouud by this stirring will re tain the molsturu better, for strange as It seems, this soil will retain more molsluro by plowing two or three times lu thospilng than once plow lug; and my Idea for It Is that tho rain and evaporation forms pores which by stirring and fine pnlverlz lugono destroys, so tlmtovaoratlou Is cheeked. Then when you huvo everything In ship flh:iK3 head your young trees well back, leaving such limbs or buds us wljl glvo tho treo tho proper "spread" so that large limbs need not bo chopped oil', tliualnjurlng the treo In after years.

When William Held, tho pa-sldont of tho railroad company, returned from tho east about ten days ago ho reported that thrco propositions had been umdo to him by eastern capitalists for tak ing tho bonds of the company. Only ouo of these propositions, all of which were laid before the directors, was considered by, them. This proposition cumo from a railroad millionaire resident of New' York city.

Telegram, j A DETECTIVE'S STORY., Why Ho Is Not on Any More. tho Forctt Two men sat together In tho rear seat of tusmoking cor on ono of our railroads and chatted familiarly of tho ups nnd downs of a miner's bfo, tho topic being suggested by a landscapo dotted with coal-breakers and furrowed with coal roads. Tho freedom und Interest of their conver sation did not scorn to bo dampened by tho fact that tho younger of tho two carried a revolver, whilo his companion wore a pair of thoso uncovctod articles of jewelry which aro known in criminal circles as "brace lets." Tho few persons who had observed them learned from tho confidential brakeman that they were a noted detective and his pris oner on tho way to trial. As far as ages went tho pair might havo been taken for father nnd son, tho flno gray head of the ono contrasting strongly with tho crisp brown curls of his captor. What crimo hod been committed tho brakeman did not know, but hazarded & conjecturo that It "must havo boon a pretty bod one, or Qcorgo Munscn wouldn't havo took tho trouble to put them things on his wrists." Presently tho brakeman and the conduct or satisfied the joint demands of etiquette and curiosity by stoppingto exchange a few wortis with tho dctectlvo; tho former then perched hlmsolf upon.the coal-box directly behind the prisonor, and tho latter dropped magnificently into tho seat in front. The train was sweeping around a curve and past a ruined trestle on tho hillside at which both of tho passengers looked with somo in terest. "I remember that placo," said tho older man. "So do I," responded tho younger; "I was born thero. Came near being buried there, too," he resumed after a moment's pause. "How was that!" "It's a pretty long story," said the de tective, "but I guess we'll havo timo for it between this and the next station. Way up there on the slope is tho littlo settlement where I made my debut, so to speak; from it to tho bottom of the hill there used to bo a gravity road-a long, winding track reaching from tho settlement down to the top of a bank wall of earth where a slide occurred tho year I was born. On both sides of tho track grow saplings that had sprung up since the disaster (what I am telling you occurred flvo years later), and they crowded tho road and hung over the old rusty rails on which tho coal enrs used to run. You must remember that tho houses were built near tho mouth of tho pit -that was ono of tho first mines worked in this country, oud ono of tho first to bo abandoned.
