The effects of the result of that floe
Con were ma In manifest at umw,
It was imt itn easy matter for tho
ardent Annexationists to accept the
ultimatum of the majority vote, but
manfully they had done it, and thu
intelligence of tho reunited clement j
of the American League wan turned
toward the upbuilding; of 11 country
rich in promise and already yielding
fruitfully to their nourishing e.tre.
Sandford Dole was choeen president
of the republic without it:i opposing;
candidate. Tin sagacity of the man.
Lis patriotism, his unwavering adher
ence to tho principles of freedom,'
niado him the iil-ul candidate.
Iu tho construction of his cabinet,
ho again urged upon my undo to ac
cept the oflioo he had tilled since the
revolution; l.ut I'nolo To-.n declined.
He wus not the man ho was at that
time. He was a-ring under tho sorrow
of Winnie's loan, unl his mind seemed
always troubled. JIo was physically
much enfeelileil by what he hail one
through, aiol, laying aside tins cures
and responsibilities of office, ha with
drew to Tho Corals to rest.
Gordon t-till had tho army. Never
bad a man been accepted ns tho
adopted sou f a country with so raiiciil
affection as Guidon. He was looked
upon ns tho backbone of our military
force, and with Cordon at the head, j

Tho election laws vero simple, but
they were nafe. There wa-i no ballet

The question of proper juiinins In
Hie orchard Is one of Importance, but
one which often tails to receive the
attention It deserves.
No doubt every fnn.i'T nr.d fruit
grower has his own Ideal as to the
form he would desire in his fruit trees.
My pro fen eieo is for 11 tree uitii the
lop started wi !' up. so as to be n inlily
worked under with a t. ai-i, mid t!e-u
by proper pr iiiinc; train. d to u low,
spread. itn top. Much depends, ns t 1
the future of the yniuiyc tree, on the
shin e,!eii Ii hy priiuiin,' in the nur
sery row. This, of course. Is beyond
the ordinary tree planter's control, u-i
less he is m situated tlmt In- can him
self pi to the nursery nnd personally
select Ills KtiVk, and reject those trees
the form of whose headilu; out does
liot pleii.-e I1I111; yet the form may oft
en be modiitod by Judicious pruniiiL',
even when a wrong start has been
made. The,-!., is so much difference in
the natural form of mouth of differ
ent varieties that some sons wili re
quire nn int in ly different method of
treat mi nt irom others.
It has been said that an apple-tree
top iu the form of mi inverted um
brella is the inest nearly perfect form
that can be secured, and such 11 form
is at lca.it not an iindcirable one. Ity

"The white pine is distinctively a
Northern tree. The native distribution
of th" tree was from Newfoundland on
the east to Lake Winnipeg nn the west
nud thence to the southern boundary
nf Wisconsin. Michigan. Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Connecticut. Tiio
white pine belt also followed the A
palachlan range as far to the south as
ib'orgla. The best growth of the treo
was in Maine and the I'.rlilsh terri

still grows iu almost inaccessible parts
of New York and Pennsylvania
'According to Professor Spalding
the white pine ti seldom attains :i
height greater than Pin Icet or a dia
meter of more than forty inches. A
tree of this variety once measured by
the division of forestry of the liepart
mi nt of Agriculture was 17o feet tall
and forty-eight inches thick. That
free was -Pin years old. It was a little
sapling fifty years before Columbus
sailed from I'alos.
"It Is not an easy tree to propagate,
so many of the seeds being unfertile.
It does not. as a rule, produce llowers
and cones uuiil It Is lifteen or twenty
years oh). During the tirst decade of
Ps life it will grow about one foot
every twelve mon'in. and then it
grows n little faster lill maturity. A
tree twenty years old ought to be
about twenty-live fees high, and at
thlny or forty yi ars of age it ought lil
measure ubmit sixty feet."
