We are often asked advice as to the
the size or age best to plant fruit trees.
We have always advised and prac-
ticed using the youngest trees that
were sufficiently developed to bear
transplanting advantageously. The
following testimonials of experienced
culturists we publish as corrobOrating
our ideas:
DR.. Kennicot says plant small trees.
They cost one-haIf less at the nursery,
less in transportation, and in planting
YOU will lose scarcely none at all. You

Form the heads as low as you please,
which, on prairies is absolutely neces-
sary to success.
Mr.. Buchanan thinks apple trees two
years old are better than those of more
advanced age; and an apple tree trans
planted at that age, all other things
being equal, will produce fruit as soon
as one transplanted at four years old,
and make a more healthy tree.
Mr.. Mother thinks, on the whole,
aside from the peach, he would prefer
twO-year trees, and and would not
take trees over three. At lone year old,
the apple, year, &c, have not their
roots sufficiently developed. He has
planted trees for thirty years.
Mr.. Mears has, within the last ten
years, transplanted thirty thousand
trees. AS to peaches, pears and plums
he would prefer them at one year old,
and the apple at two years. Isz-

A settlea PoIlcy on lhe Farm.

farmer often lies in his havin0a. fixed

necessities and make money BY the

will gradually give up dairying and
work into sheep, with the expeeta-

sacrifice. If hops are sixty cents a

What Pork Costs, or what is
Corn Worth.

Careful experiments show that one
bushel of corn win make little over
ten and half pounds of pork-gross.
Taking this result as basis, and the
following may be considered safe cal
cu!atiOns:
When corn costs twelve and half
cents per bushel, pork costs one and
three-quarter cents per pound.
When corn costs seventeen cents
per pushel, pork costs four cent per
pound.
The following statementshOws what
the farmer gets for his corn when sold
in the form of pork.
When pork sells for three cents per
pound, it brings twenty-five cents in
corn. When pork sells for four cents
per pound, it brings thirty-three cents
per pushel in corn. When pork sells
for five cents per pound, it brings fifty
cents per bushel in corn. 1- -5Er

10 NIake Pure WIne.


Knowing as we wei do, the differ
ent ideas; manipulating, and nom
manipulating theories advanced by
different persons, as to handling
grape juice, we are aware that to ad-
vance an idea, is to venture on dan
gerous grounds. We admit, too, that
there is a vast difference in making
wine to sell or to use. The more for
eign ingredients used in manipulating
the greater the yield, and consequent
ly the greater the profit. We are an
advocate of pure wines, and making
it as cheaply as possible. There is no
reason, in our opinion, why pure wine
may not be as cheap in this country
in q very few years, as apple cider was
in our boyhood days. Years ago,
when our attention was first turned
towards cultivating grapes, an old and
experienced French wine maker fur
nished as with the following brief in
structiOns, which has been sustained
and confirmed by experience;
''Wine is not thing made by man
at all, only modified at most. It is a
product of nature. In. the purest and
best grape wines this is most remark
ably exhibited. The grapes are easily
pressed by a wine or even cider
press, and can be kept separate from
the lees or allowed to fernnent on then
as strength is required. Not one drop
of water, not a lump even of sugar is
requisite, although most of the wines
in this country are prepared with it.
But the fermentation is all an act of
nature herself. She it is who makes
our wine, and while the fermentation
is going on all that man can do is to
watch and let 1t alone. And when
that has ceased, the drawing of into
a clean cask and keeping it undis-
turbed i'm darkness and perfect quiet
by itself, is all that man can do. A
lump of loaf sugar in each bottle when
bottled, may give champagne fresh
ness to it, but the simpler, the purer,
the less of cookery in wine, the better
for it, and for those who have good
taste enough to prefer it thus. The
pure juice Of the grape is best in sick
ness. The hest grapes, and if sugar |
be added, the best and purest sugar
should alone be used. e4

A few years. since many of our fruit
growers predicted that within Eve
years the best of pears would be q drug
IN our markets. Everybody seemed
to be planting pear trees, and the pros
pect was good for bountiful supply.
But time showed that at least ninety
out Of every hundred madea total fail
ure consequently, pears are still
scarce and command an exOfbitant
price. Is peaT-eultuFe q profitable
business2 Certainly 1t is, with those
who are successful.
The causes of failure are really too
numerous to name at this time but
among the best known are the fjllOW-
lowing The selection of new and un-
tried varieties, which proved to be not
adapted to the coil or location: unfa-
VOrable climate, causing the fruit to
rust and crack, although the trees
were apparently healthy; planting
dwarfs upon light soils, where the
borers destroyed thestOcks, even If the
tree would have succeeded If left un-
mOlested pear-blight which, bas de-
strOyed thousands of trees in locations
which otherwise appeared to be the
most favorable for their full develop
ment. -Fr
No culture and injudiciOus pruning,
however, has probably killed more
pear trees than all other causes put
together. l ll-
There is certainly a failure some
where. Either our people do not plant
pear trOes enough, or they fail to pro-
sible that naen who own land that
will produce this fruit would neglect
to grow it while it commands such
prices Bs it has for the past few years.
Even in BOstOn-which is the very
paradise Of pears-we saw bushels of
that old favOrite, the Bartlett, selling
last fall at 25 to so cents each. 1t may
be that the demand is 50 great that it
is impOss bic to prodnce full supply.
If so, then l must confess that the
profits of pear-eUlture are enormously
