A skillful device for furnishing

Farmers’ bulletin No. 113, United
States department of agriculture. Is
entitled "The Apple and How to Grow
It.” G. B. Brackett, pomologlst, bu
reau of plant industry, the writer of
this bulletin, closes It with the follow
ing summary:
1. A gentle eastern or northeastern
slope, as a rule. Is the most desirable
for an orchard site, but this may vary
In different sections.
2. Soils such as are found In timber
regions afford the best results, but
outside of such districts clayey loams
having free surface and subsoil drain
age are best.
3. Well rotted barnyard manure is
the most valuable for apple orchards.
The next best fertilizer Is crops of red
clover grown among the trees and al
lowed to fall and rot on the ground
or turned under and the ground re
seeded.
4 . Thorough surface tilth Is required
to obtain the best results in the or
chard, and when needing fertility the
land should be properly manured be
fore plowing.
6. Trees are more safely set In early
spring. They should be strong, vigor
ous, one or two years old, having a
well-developed root Bystem and, at the
time of setting, their tops should be
cut back to the height at which the
main branches for the future top are
to be formed. All broken and muti
lated roots should be cut back to
sound wood. For easy planting, open
out a deep furrow with a two-horse
plow along the line where the rows
are to be made, and cross check at the
distance apart at which the trees are
to stand. At the crosses level off the

fruit, handled carefully f to avoid
bruises or breakage of the skin, and
placed under protection from sun and
wind until final disposition Is made
of them. Apples for home use Bhould
be stored in some place where th«

as possible without danger of frost.

ASH1NGTON. — William Howard
states and champion traveler of the
universe, has completed his little tour
of 21 states ot the Union to add about
15,000 more miles to his record. It Is
a wonderful record tor getting over
ground, even In these days of the fast

The travel microbe stung William
Howard Taft In 1900, when President
McKinley selected him as one of the
Philippine commissioners. Up to that
time Mr. Taft was used to the court
room, and on his maiden trip to the
Orient he was affected with what has
proven to be an Incurable case of
travel mania. Since that first trip, a

EWER trials by court-martial than
in any year since the Spanish-
Amerlcan war were held by the army
during the last fiscal year, according
to the annual report of Brigadier Gen
eral E. H. Crowder, judge advocate
general.
During the year there were 3,851
general courts-martial, or a decrease
of 1.355 as compared with the year
preceding The number of trials was
only 5 per cent, of the average en
listed strength of the army, whereas
the 1910 average was 6.98 per cent.,
and In 1909 It was 7.4 per cent. Ab
sence without leave and desertion
were the chief offenses.
Trials by summary courts decreased
last year by 9,193 compared with the
previous year. These trials represent-
F
ed 43 per cent, ot the average enlisted
strength of the army, a decrease of 14
per cent, from the 1910 percentage.
The reduced number of summary
courts, according to the judge advo
cate, has been accomplished without
relaxing discipline and Is partly ac
counted for by the movement of
troops from their posts to the maneu
ver division, where the duty approxi
mated that of active field service.
However, General Crowder believes
that the principal cause for the reduc
tion has been the growth of the opin
ion that minor Infractions of dis
cipline can be punished better by sum
mary discipline than by subjecting the
offender to formal trial.
With a view to lessening the num
ber of trials the department will col
lect statistics as to the percentage of
trials for the coming year at each
army post. The judge advocate ex
presses the opinion that unnecessary
•ills can be averted by an announce
ment hy the war department that It
considers the ultimate responsibility
Tor summary court trials rests with
the post and regimental commanders.
