make a clean, smooth cut and have a
bucket of good wax or paint bandy
and thoroughly cover the wound. This
prevents decay of the wood and al
lows the Dew tlmue to grow over un
molested by fungi or the elements.
The cambium, 6r Inner bark, wfll be
gin to cover the wound as soon as the
tree becomes active In the spring, but
will form only over a limited portion
of the cut surface. The growth of the
cambium can be encouraged and made

It Is generally thought by fruit grow
ers that the high headed tree Is better.
aa it allows better and easier cultlva
tlon. This Is the main point upon
which tho advocates of high headed
trees base their whole argument
high beaded tree is generally the worst
kind to cultivate under, for ususlly the
lowest limbs are permitted to make
decided lateral growth almost parallel
to the soil, and when these limbs are
laden with fruit they extend almost to
the ground, and it Is readily seen that
close cultivation Is Impossible.
The trees In the old orchards and
yards all over Oregon show the evolu
tlon of the high headed tree. It Ib
simply this: When the lowest limbs
Interfere with cultivation tbey are re
moved, the next set of limbs are per
mitted to make a lateral growth sltul
ler to tho first, and eventually these
are cut off. Thus it continues until
the crown of the tree Is ten to fifteen
feet from the ground, and tho fruit Is
practically out of reach.
On the other hand, the crown of the
low headed tree Is started near the
ground, nud tho limbs make an up
right slanting growth, which allows
far closer cultivation. The limbs by
pruning are caused to grow strong and
able to support their fruit 0. L.

First Impressions of a city like Tan
gier are dlllk'Ult to give because of
their enormous confusion. It Is a varlo
gated and klnetoscoplc plcturo that one
recalls of events since ono's arrival,
full of motion and color, but devoid of
order or sequence. It is as hard to ur
range one's Ideas as to assemble one's
coins of American, English, Spanish
and Moorish mints, reduce them to pe
setas and centlmos and get back tho
right change when making a purchase.
From the pier one passes into and
up the main thoroughfare, or Street of
the Christians, and here your first Idea
of Tangier itself begins. Bare legs,
flowing rolx's, red fesies, white turbans,
donkeys, mules, men, women, children
and produce pass before tho eyes, and
a babel fills tho cars.
The Street of the Christians is the
widest In town, averaging twenty feet
Others are ten, eight or as llttlo as six
All are paved with rough cobblestones,
and of course there Is no room for
sidewalks. Wheeled vehicles there are
noue, cither In Tangier or elsewhere In
the country. Men and donkeys Jostle
and push each other without ceremony,
but with certain comity and mutual
respect that comes of long and close as
sociation. While your head Is turned
a donkey with water casks protruding
from both sides of his back will bump
them against you, sending you careen
ing against auother patient beast laden
always overladen, it may be said
with bags of grain.
Houses are of masonry plastered out
side and usually calclmlned with a
slightly bluish tint to reduce the glare
otherwise of unrelieved white. Mostly
they are two and three stories In
height, many with such windows at
tbey have opening upon an Inside court
and only narrow peepholes looking out
upon the street Tula, taken together
with the narrowness of the highways,
makes It bard to distinguish architec
tural landmarks as you go about From
either side of the Street of tho Chris
tiana queer lanes branch out and wind
and cross and double and end with tan
talising frequency in a blank wall.
Finding oue'a way la beset with diffi
culties and following directions hope
less. Soon after nrrlval I decided to visit
the American consulate. I fixed it
upon the map as about two minutes'
walk and dismissed my Moorish guide
with scorn when he offered to accom
pany me. An hour later I was thank
ful merely to find myself again on the
Street of the Christians and had for
gotten all about the American con
sulate. The next day I was bumble Into a scene of harmony and beauty.
enough to let the guide show mo the
way. '
Guide here are numerous, but, out
side of a narrow limit, worthless on
account of their slight acquaintance
with English or any other tongue ex
cept Spanish and their native Arable
and their Inability or disinclination to
do for you what you want Their main
object seems to be to take you on don
key rides when you would rather walk
and divide your pesetas with the driver
or steer you Into cafes, where they or
def coffee which you do tot want, but
for which, as an American and there
fore A millionaire, you are expected to
pay.
On tho other hand, one cannot well
do without these guides, because ho
cannot auk a question of two words on
the street or even pause to read a
sign before he Is surrounded by a
dozen interpreters interrupters would
be better donkey drivers, street vend
ers and beggars, each of whom thinks
himself entitled to half a peseta for
merely offering bis services.
Ho, after all, It is as well to be bled
by the guides, because while they are
with you they drive off the other para
sites, wishing to preserve your pesetas
for their own better purposes, and It
la a question of suffering at the bands
of ono rather than otherwise support
ing tho whole town.

character of the town, the owner of

Every "dog of a Christian" In Moroc
co is living here by the tolerance of a
people which Is 'little different now
from what It was a thousand years ago,
when the Moslem hordes swept across
northern Africa and into Europe until
halted by Charles Mattel on the field
of Tours. This tolerance. It la true. Is
one of long standing in the coast cities
and likely to continue, but It must not
be forgotten that it is a tolerance none
the less and that these people are capa
ble of both wild and wonderful deeds
when aroused, as the record of their
Invasions and the civilization of An
