SETTING Ont Orchnr,Ia

Many orchards are set out in the fall, and
still more in spring but whether set in fall
or spring, the ground should be well prepared
in autumn. If the soil holds water in wet sea-
sons, it must be well undetermined Subsoil-
ing in most localities is of great value, and,
though it may be imperfecty done after the
trees are set and growing, 1t is far better to
do it beforehand Some recommend setting
trees where nothing else can be raised as on
hill.sides or rocky land but as a good and
well-managed orchard is commonly more pro-
itable for the acre it occupies than almost any
other crop, the best ground should be devoted
to it, so that it may receive good cultivation
For limited number of trees, and where
the subsoil is hard and has not been loosened,
it answers well to dig wide holes, giving a
good chance for the roots of the young trees
to extend as far as the limits of the bed of
mellow earth occupying the holes. Trees OF
the tardy- bearing sorts are often made very
productive in this way the trees growing rap
idly as long as the roots are confined to the
holes, and the check given them as the roots
reach the hard earth beyond throwing them
into abundant productiveness. But for large
market orchards, planted with productive va
rieties like the Baldwin ut the East or the Ben
Davis at the West, it is sufficient if the holes
are large enough to receive all the roots with
out bending, and to depend for sufficient
growth on good cultivation while young and
an annual or biennial top-dressing with yard
manure after they come into bearing. There
are few soils too rich to impart good healthy
growth to young trees in connection with
mellow culture for the first five or six years
The test of this is the measurement of the an.
nual shoots. If these are not at least two feet
long while the trees are young, manure must
be added.
The common mistake of supposing that or
chards need but little care should be avoided.
1t requires not only well-selected piece of
ground and good cultivation, but constant
watchfulness to protect it from insects and
other drawbacks. This care is matter of
great economy, for it will not cost as much as
the land and trees, and it may quadruple the
products and profits as compared with neg
lected orchard. The one will have fine fruit
and plenty of it, selling at good prices the
other will bear meagre crops of scabby and
wormy specimens which nobody cares to buy.
For market few of the most productive and
salable sorts are to be chosen; but for home
use there should be succession, extending
from the earliest to the latest of the whole
year round. In either case avoid costly nov
elites, and choose well-proved and we'll known
standard sorts-COuntry Gentleman.

Facts are stubborn Thing.

Is there anything in any of the numerous
advertisements of the Royal Baking Powder
to show that the Royal does not use ammonia
and tartaric acid as cheap substitutes for cream
of tartar Or is there any charge, or the
slightest insinuation, in those advertisements,
that Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder con-
tains anything but the purest grape cream of
tartar and bi-carbonate of soda, with small
portion of flour as a preservative?
Ammonia and tartaric acid produce cheap
leayening gas, which is not to be compared,
in the practical test of baking, with the more
desirable carbonic acid gas generated by the
exclusive use of the expensive cream of tar

Use Cleveand's Superior Baking Powder,

THE TINE TO BEGIN WINrER1NG CATTLE is
in early autumn, as soon as grass loses its nu-
tritive properties in the least degree. ANY
falling off in flesh in late summer or early au-
tumn adds to the difficulties of winter keep.
ing; hence the necessity of guarding against
such loss. This is especially true in the case
of cows used in the dairy, or, in fact, COWS
for any use, if they are required to do moth
ing more than support their calves. The COW
that goes into winter in good flesh is, in eff
feet, partly wintered-that is to say, timely
provision is made for carrying her through
without loss. Good full feeding with nutri-
tious food is more important in the autumn
months and early winter than later in the sea-
son, say in February or March If short ra-
tions are to be given at any time, by all means
let them come as near spring grass as possible
COW in good flesh in March is worth for use
the next summer twice as much as she would
be if thin in flesh. Whatever stores of fat
are laid on, within reasonable limits, TO be
drawn upon in late autumn or early winter,
are worth more than at any other season of
the year. But there is another matter of al
most as much importance as food. 1t is pro-
vision for the comfort of cows-to shield them
from winter blasts and from all exposure that
makes heavy drafts upon the vital forces. The
most economical method is stanchions in good
roomy and well-ventilated stables. No farm
er will say it is the best provision, because
roomy boxes are better; but they are also
more expensive, and consequently impract-
cable except where but few COWS are kept and
room is available, as, for instance, when the
buildings are planned for a larger number of
animals, and the space is not all used. The
whole matter of winter keeping is comprised
in the thrifty condition of the cattle at the
beginning of cold weather, in good feed,
abundant and varied in character, and in suit
able shelter. Provide all these things, with
regular attendance, and a safe guaranty is Civ
en- for profit in dairying. -HuS5andu1aH.

PROHIBITION AND LICENSE.
Lawrence, Kan, Herald. I

lASV ASASSs AA0
A very strange scene was presented at Ham
sas City last Sunday. There all the saloons
were closed for the first time In years. In
Kansas City they have a high license law,
which pays a revenue to the city. The money
from the license Is to be used on the streets,
and they expect to have enough this year to
macadamize q road from Independence to
Kansas City, nine miles.
In Kansas we have prohibition. Last sum
day In Wyandotte and Kansas City, Kansas,
the saloons were running in full blast, aud
to get their accustomed nip. The liquor was
sold In bansas .and nobody gets any good
from it. The license law is respected and
obeyed, while prohibition is not respected and
obeyed, and, worst Of all, its tendency is to
destroy respect for all laws.

there are q ~numberiof buildings standing half

THE CHOLERA.

DR.. Joseph M. Wood, one of the best known
physicians in Missouri, says the Kansas City
Times, who has practiced medicine in this VIZ
entity for nearly fifty years, and passed through
two OF three terrible visitations of the Asiatic
cholera, gives it as his opinion that we may
reasonably expect the scourge to visit Amer
lea, though it may not put in an appearance
here till next year. He does not lear such
devastation as has followed former visitations,
and thinks the advances of sanitary science,
the restrictions of rigid ~quarantining and the
energy Of local boards of health may have an
effect to prevent anything like the fury with
which former epidemics have ragged. stu,
the general ignorance concerning the treat.
ment Of the disease and the ease with which
It battles all efforts to prevent its spread, are
matters which he thinks very well calculated
to excite alarm, and inspire the most rigid
sanitary supervision everywhere.
In speaking Of his recollection Of tho visi-
tstions Of the cholera to this part Of the coun-
try In 1910, when whole settlements were
wiped away, Dr.. Wood said no means of
1Shtfng the disease existed. and after he had
mads every effort possible to afford relief to
the stricken citizens he had given up the un-
dertaking In despair. He had never known
Of q cure in any case where the disease had
become thoroughly fastened on any one. In
1863, when the disease again appeared here,
the valley of the Raw seemed expressly to
suffer from the effects of the scourge. He
said 1t appeared that something in the waite,
along that valley seemed to aid In the spread
of the disease,
