BRACING FRUIT TREES.
An Explanation of the Tripod method and
Its Advantages.
In the accoiD):in,vhig' skotcli, which
represents a. newly planted tree, tea
leet in height, there is shown one of
the most effective braces that can be
provided for a subject of this size. It
consists of three light oak or other
etakes, about five feet in length, driven
Into the soil, tripod-like, each two feet
nwoy from the tree, and with the right
sJant to just meet the trunk with the
end, aa at a in the engraving. .Here

trunk to protect it from the ends of
the several stakes, which are then se
cured to the trunk, and to one another
by means of tarred cord or by wire.
Such a tree is held perfectly secure.
Surely it is giviug the subject the ra
tional care which i3 Ita due in the crisis
of transplanting.
. To make this lesson of the tree's
security the more impressive, I show a
side sketch at b which indicates the
bad predicament into which newly
planted trees not rarely get. When I
say that I have seen, unstaked fall
planted trees literally blown from the
ground before spring, this present
sketch need not be looked upon as
fanciful. It represents, ih fact, quite
a common state. Not only does the
injury como from a general loosening
up of the roots and their displacement,
but an opening is made around the
trunk which will fill with water, which
may cause damage in one of two ways;
first, water that follows readily down
the root hastens the softening process
of the soil, and further aids the loosen
ing: of the roots; second, to have water
stand next to the bark, which in case
of a sudden freeze up is turned to loe,
may work serious harm to the bark
throughout.
The advantages of this tripod method
of staking trees over the single stake
plan are several; first, the tree is held
more firmly in place than is possible
to be done with the use of but one
stake; secondly, these stakes are not
driven into fresh earth, but into that
just outside of the bole that was ex
cavated and filled in during the plant
ing process.
Thia method of staking is suitad to
trees ia almost any situation. In the
street, for fctstanoe, by having two of
the stakes enter the soil at the curb,
and these spread a little farther apart
than the distance to the other stake,
the tree may be brought within a foot
and a half of the curb (and it should
never be closer). It is at once apparent
how easily the tripod may be made
to serve as a tree-guard against horses
and flos for runnrrnf wire hf Id in ptarp
by Btaples, horizontally from stake to
stake around the tree. The first wire
may be a foot above the ground to ad
mit of tho lawn mower passing under
neath; above this they might be three
or four inches apart.
The plan here illustrated is best suit
ed to trees ranging from six to twelve
feet in height. In the case of trans
planting larger trees (except in the
street) tho same plan may be modified
by substituting the use of wire for
the stakes. In that event the stays
may be attached higher up in the tree
than when stakes are used ; even among
the branches, say at. two-thirds the
height of the tree, provision being of
course made for attaching the wires
both in the tree and at the ground. In
the tree two iron half-bands fitted with
L ends and short bolts should be made
to tightly encircle the trunk at tho
proper height. To this completed band
the wiro stays are attached, extending
to the ground. Here they are made
fast to three stout stakes driven into,
the ground at equal distance apart and
some feet away from the trm Ordi
nary fence wire will answer very well
for the purpose. If the trees aro quite
large the wire may be doubled.
Some one may say that the stakes,
wires and tho work involve expense.
This is true, but the outlay is a mere
trifle as compared to the cost and value
of the tree. Elias A. Long, in American

Care of Young; Orchards.
Teach trees are not adverse to heavy
soils, but they must be well drained.
Many Colorado peach orchards flourish
in adobe soils. All fruit trees feel the
force of drought and other hard condi
tions, as do grains and vegetables, and
require care accordingly." Intense cul
tivation of young orchards makes a
vigorous growth of the lateral roots,
sending them deeper into the ground,
insuring a hard'ier life to the tree.
After overhauling the old orchards it
may be well to give them some of the
same treatment. Farmers' Union.

From th Times,
A happy family is that of Mr. James Me
Kinney, of Hillsdale, Kansas, on whom a
Times rcxrter recently called. His busi
ness with those people was to learn tho facts
lor his paper of the euro of their thirteen-year-old
daughter from a case of nervous
prostration, and the facts were learned from
Mrs. McKinney herself, who quickly told
tho following story:
" The tirst perceptible result of her ex
treme nervousness was apparent in a halting
step of the child in her right limb," said the
mother, "and a physician was called in to
attend her. No apparent change coming,
another doctor was called to attend her.
She continued to grow worse, although we
thought tho doctors helped her, until she
lost the use entirely of her right arm, which
hung listless and apparently lifeless by her
side."
"The physicians finally told us," con
tinned Mrs. McKinney, ''that Mary would
outgrow it in time, but by accident, my
husband tricked up a circular in his shop,
which so highly recommended Dr. Williams'
Pink I'ills for Pale People, that we concluded
to try them. Mr. McKinney procured a
hox at (Jriiues' drug Btoro in Paola.aud we
began by giving Mary a half pill at a time,
and gradually increasing to one pill at a time,
and before wo had used one box we could
see they were doing her good. This was one
year ago. She had been suuering at that
time for four years, under the doctors, and
we were so encouratred over the good effects
of the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, that
we continued to uso them, and tho child
Dxola, Kunsas.
started to nchool"again and has been able to
attend school ever since, gradually getting
stronger and in better health all the time as
you now see her, and wo don't notice the old
trouble any more.
"Yes, wo are always rcudyund willing to
recommend Dr. Williams' rink Pills, and
do bo all the time, to our friends," replied
Mrs. McKinnoy to our question ; and con
tinuing, she said: "We do not know what
tho doctors called Mary's affliction, but we
took it to bo something like paralysis or St.
Vitus' dance, and we became very much
ulanned about her.
"Our local physician," she says, "now
tolls us that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills aro m
good a thing as we could use; and while
Mary is apparently well, bho has occasional
attacks of nervous headache, and then she
suys: 'Mamma, I must take another Pink
Pill, So you see she has great laith in them,
but docs not liko to have us talk about her
Lfle affliction."
Mr. McKinney ia as much or more en
thusiastic over the great benefit done his
daughter through theuso of these pills, lie
said : " Nothing too good can bo said by me
of Dr. Williams' Pine Pills they areagreat
medicine."
