I H o w to 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 ground at the bottom of the furrow to receive the tree with Its roots In a natural position, fill In the dirt among NCLE SAM'S success as master of a great training school is nowhere better shown, perhaps, than in that branch of the school known as the forest service.

Thorough tillage with a cultiva­ tor during the growing season and plowing the land each spring, turning It each alternate year toward the trees, are recommended. 7. Prune each year in early spring before the growth starts, removing all cross branches and thinning out where too densely grown, so as to balance the tops and afTord free air circula­ tion and admit sunlight to all parts of the tree. 8. All classes, summer, autumn and winter apples, must be carefully picked without loosening the stems from 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« temperature should be kept as low as possible without danger of frost. 9. Summer and autumn sorts, if for market, require an Immediate disposi­ tion, as they are exceedingly perish­ able. Winter varieties may be held for a while during a glut in the mar­ ket and in seasons of a shortage gen­ erally.

Since he has been president he has traveled also at government expenses, for the president is allowed $25,000 a year to cover his "getting around" expenses, an appropriation that came Into being when the railroads cut off free transportation and congress en­ acted an anti-pass law. There Is rumor of strong opposition to a continuation of the practice of allowing $26,000 a year for presiden­ tial travel expenses. If congress should be so rude a3 to remove the means it Is a certainty that the re­ maining year and a half of the presi­ dent's term of office will be spent mostly In Washington. To travel re­ quires a lot of money, an amount which President Taft does not per sonally command. Forest Service as a Training eral H o n u o r t o . . 2.11 .Mull! Ht..

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 express trains and giant ocean steam­ ships, that the president has estab­ lished and when he returned to Wash­ ington he had traveled since he en­ tered the government service In 1900 as a Philippine commissioner 298,728 miles, r 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 little over ten years ago, he has trav­ H e n r i M illa r R e m e d y C o ., 721 Ss. E. St, Tgcoaa, Wash. I t ’» Holds Travel 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.
