Special in quiry made by this journal nniong tho best maplo mignr makers of Ver mont, 'New York nnd Ohio, points to general testimony against deep boring. While some favor boring to the depth of 2 inches, this is ex ceptional, the majority of expert testimony favoring 1 to li inches. The diameter of the hole favored is to ,' inch. Those using a bit up to J in put in only a shallow hole, 9iy 1 to IJ4 inches deep. C. F. Phillips, n prominent sugar man at Chagrin Falls, ()., uses n inch bit and does not bore deeper than inch. It is unnecessary to caution against girdling the trees. As to height from the ground, n leading Vermont maker prefers 4 feet nnd advises choosing the side of the treo which has the most and healthiest growth ; do not hew or cut the bark too much before boring, ns this is moro harmful to the tree than the hole. Born on a slightly upward slant. After boring, ross off ns lit tle! of the outer bark ns possible, leaving a sharp and smooth edge to the hole. C. C Post, of Burlington, Vt., says, "always hang the bucket upon the spout and never hang by use of a spike or nail, such being very injurious to tho tree. Agn culturist. The Case of Edith Behr. A New York paper is making n wonderful display of sentiment over this youiii woman who was arrested at Lynns Farms, N. J., for assaulting two men who were roughly treating her father. For this slio was sen tenced to throe months imprison mt nt ran av.ny, recently returned was resentenced and is now serving out her time. She is a character, and the Easton Free Press thus re lates a chapter of her history. The fact is, tho girl deserves nil she is getting. She is not unknown here. Some time ago a woman sent a lot of iroods to Easton by tho Cto tial Railroad from Sonorvillo, N. J. When she came to take the golds from the freight depot, she declared she had been robbed. Sho brought suit for $200 beforo nn nlderman. One of the witnesses was this Edith Uehr. She said tho woman was her aunt ; that sho and her father had helped pack tlie boxes and thnt cer tain articles were missing. She made a star witness. But that night she and the woman in question quarrelled nntl then tho Bohr girl told tho Central ngent nothing had been lott. nt nil ; that it wns a pre arranged nffair to cheat tho com pany. So it proved. But the girl liad committed perjury nnd, had it not been for tho quarrel, tho Central Railroad Company would have boon swindled. Ami this is tho girl tho New York Journal is writing sentimental gush about by the column. It will now try to get hor pardoned. But, if there is nny lmrd common sense in tilts Jersey courts nnd we rather think there is this scheme will meet tlie defeat it deserves. Bryan as End Man. Atlanta "Kveuing Constitution" (Dem.)
