The Northern Tree Man.

heard of. away up in one of the Noythern states
! He offered as argument that the trees having
been grown IN a far-north latitu lie were neces-
sarilv more hardy than the same kind of trees
would be grown in the South, ami were, there
fore. sure to fruit wei in Texas. Do you think
his theory q correct one? b. L. WARREN.
tosque county, Texts.
He WAS not II tree peddler extremity
We call his like tree men, though, as Il
rule, there Ia another word that mig ut
be correctly substituted for ''man, -
and its not ''hummiugbird, either {.
He WAS not q tree peduler, for the ped
dler would have had his trees along with
him peddlIng them out as he went. 1t
Is not at all probable that he was even an
agent with credentials, representing
rome responsible nursery, for responsible
Northern nurseries don't often send
agents 1000 miles or SO away from home
to sell trees in the South. II wouldn t
pay the nursery to ship trees SO far and
sell them III honest competition with the
Southern nurseries.
Fellows Of that particular ilk are usn-
ally in business for themselves. While
they may pretend to represent somebody
they are almost invariably the bead and
foot of the firm themselves. If you
give them your order they will possibly
fill it after a manner Of their own. They
Will go TO the nearest nurseries and buy
up ''culls'' which, without regard to
variety. they will label to suit the Or
ders taken. How will you he able TO
know the difference? II will be years
before your trees come into bearing to
settle the question as to whether or not
you have been swiudled, and then that
tree man, where, oh! were will he be9
If we we're called for advice in such
eases, we'd earnestly advise everybody
to have nothing whatever to do with any
such chaps. Buy trees only of RESPONSE
bic home nurserymen who can be held
to account for any shortcomings on the
contract. We have plenty of such nur-
serymen IN Texas. and permit US to as
sure you that any goods they may offer
will be better for Texas than any good1
that could be had from abroad. They
have been carefully selected with an eve
to best results In the regions where they
are to be sold. That selection Is based
on past tests and experience. Those
nursery men are endeavorlng to build up
q good reputation for their establish
ments.
The man g theory about his Northern
grown trees is entirely without plausible
foundation. An acciamated tree invari-
ably does better in the South than one
unacclimated.
PatroniZe your home nurseries; or, at
least nursersles that you know all about
and can hold responsible for every trans
action bad with them. Running any
risk on fruit trees is bad thing TO do,
for bear in mind that after a few failures
you will have passed through too many
years to need fruit trees.

Our friends of southern Texas ought to
be interesting themselves in the Satsuma
orange to the extent of liberal tests, at
least. 1t NAV, and probably does, offer
the means of converting ours into a
great orange-growng state. Already
we are doing something in the way of
growing the ordinary varieties ut several
points along our coast-the Satsuma
might enable ds 10 extend the in
dustry far inland. Lately THE GAZETTE
has been favored by james Fl Rachford
Esq. of Beaumont, with the photograph
of bunch OF most beautiful oranges
grown this season in jefferson county.
There are twelve well-developed oranges
on the bunch. Mr.. Rachford does not
name the variety TO which they belong
but, judging from their shape, we are
satisfied that they are not Satsumas.

Appearance Sells Poultry.

MIR. n. J. Shepard of Eldon, Mo. :,
says II is the appearance IT presents on
the market that sells poultry at good
figures. comparatively little care will
make an amazingly great difference.
Where poultry have good range aud
are fed regularly night and morning
they will be in a good condition. SO that
only q few DAYS good feeding will be
necessary to properly prepare them for
market. If the poultry is to be sent in
dressed it should be kept from food
twenty-four hours before killing. II to
be ''picked'' dry arrange to commence
the work 80 soon as the fowl is deud.
The feathers should be taken off while
the body Is warm. If to BIZ scalded, the
water should be nearly boiling; dip the
fowl in, holding it by the legs. getting
the feathers well soaked; by pulling the
wing or tail feathers it is easy TO deter
mine when he scalding is sufficient. At
ter dressing. the fowl should be washed
out we'll and then dipped in hot water,
and then hung up to dry out and cool.
This will aid to make it look plump; be-
sides it must be thoroughly cooled be-
fore packing. Clean boxes or barrels
should be used, lining the inside either
with clean MANILA paper or clean straw
hot hay or anything else with see,is,
for the seeds will shatter off on the fowls
and make them look dirty. In packing
care should be exercised to not press the
fowls out of shape; at the same time
they should be packed sufficiently tight

ling the packages. 1t always paws to

sible condition in every respect, for it
will materially aid IN securing the best
prices; and, If the market is glutted as
it sometimes is, you poultry will iu-
variably be the poultry to 20 off first.

pine trees which he planted al Chstheld in Ma

Is now moro than two feet in diameter and fifty
feet or over in height. 9th .r trees Of the sam
species were planted and till live there. Here

heid We had red clay subsoil-at Ennis we have

would advise interested readers OF THE GA
zErTE to SEMI at once to friends in East Texa
and have tn I'm ship by express, packed in saw
from three to six inches in height. So soon as
received plant cirefulIy where they to
grow .. Most. If not all OF them will succeed
even far up IN the Panhandle. c. T. HOGAN.
Ennis. Tex.
Our well-Informed correspondent
leaves us in the DARK US to what species
OF short-lraf pine his father planted.
There are three species common in the
South. Growing near the const is the
Cuban pine (Piuus cubensis), a very
pretty species, but one that would not be
apt to succeed far inland. Further up
sets In ard extends to the northern
border OF the Southern pine country, the
rlchiand pine (PinuS mitis), another
beautiful species mainly peculiar TO the
line lands. This is the species named
by us III former article as probably
well suited TO Texas growth on account
OF the kind OF soil preferred by it. 1t
transpiants reasonably well while
very young, makes rapid growth aud
bears trimming into any shape desired.
The third species is the loblolly or old
field pine (Pinus teia). found growing
III all regions where the long-leaf pine
grows. While young it Is u very pretty
tree, but II soon begins throwing of its
lower branches, and eventually takes on
a rather scraggling habit. 1t Is the larg-
est growing pine to be met with in the
South, often attaining to the height of u
hundred feet, and to the diameter, at
base, of four or five feet. As timber
tree it is regarded as next door to worth
less. 1t would stand as highly orua-
mental tree for twenty-five or thirty
years. Thin and poor lands appear TO
be its very delight.
We'd prefer the richland pine, IL we
could get it, but in our inability to obtain
this species we'd try the old field pine.
None of these species can he said to
transplant we'll, but if taken at the end
of the first years growth most of the
trees will live. There Is no use attempt
ing to succeed with we'll grown trees, say
three or four feet high.
The long-leaf pine is a most attractive
tree on account of its long, broom like
tuft of needles, and we are well satisfied
that 1t would succeed on most of the |
sandy or gravelly lands of Texas, but it |
would have to he started from seed rs |
very few indeed would every grow trans |
planted from the forest.

Another Juie BaSg,ng Crusher.

The Boston Advertiser says: GA new
substitute for jute bagginR has been dis
covered in the South by o. B. warrand
Of Savannah, Ga, who has patented IN
ventions for the various processes for
working up the fibre. The Morning
News calls it the fibre Of the future.
This new substitute is distinctively
Southern product. and known as the saw
palmetto or palm, which grows luxu-
riantly in South Carolina, Alabama !,
Georgia and Florida.
All we have TO say with reference to
the matter Is that baggins fibre cannot
be got from thu saw palmetto-the SabaI
serrulata Of bottanists. Two years ago,
while investigating for fiber plants we
bad it thoroughly tested by the best ex-
perts in the country. 1t yields rather
nice-looking fibre, but the fibre Is with
out strength. 1t makes a fair material
with which to aduiteraie MANILA fibre in
the manufacture OF paper, but it can
never be used in the manufacture of

Wire Fencing,

The Vernon Guard says hundreds of
people in the region where ii is published
are throwing away their old-fasbione d
rail fences and replacing them with
barbed wire. Timber is not particularly
scarce. but the universal decision seems
TO be that wire fences are the best. Then
they are cheaper In the long run. Many
are hauling their old rails to town for
fire wood and realizing more for them
than the wire 10 replace the fence cost.
We have been noticing that same kind
of thing at Fort Worth. :OId rails fire.
wood is now cutting quite figure on
the market here.
Pursuing the subject of wire fencing
still further the Guard says 400 pounds
of wire will make one strand of fencing
for mile, or about 1900 pounds for a
four wire fence. Posts twenty feet apart
204 to the mile. Three quarters of q
mile Of fence will Inclose twenty acres.
aud one mile forty acres. Eighty acres
can be Enclosed with one and half mile
OF fence. One hundred and sixty acres
with two miles, 220 with three ana $40
acres with four miles of fence. At the
present prices wire fence Is really the
cheapest fence that can be built.

Canned Fruits,

Most fruits, according to the Massa-
chusetts Ploughman. are entirely whole
some if used while fresh, and in modera-
ton. No fruits are Wholesome where a
person gorges himself with them between
meals on the plan too COM
monty reSorted to. Fruits are food
as much as bacon and beans are
food, and any person ought TO
know that it would not do 10 gorge on
bacon and beans between meals. But
canned fruits are something entirely DIFF
fer-nt from fresh fruits. They require q
powerful stomach to get along i'll their
use. and even then their daily use for
any length of time is dangerous. The
concentrated sweetness oil the dissol we'd
sugar is not good as a steady diet. But
canned fruits are less dangerous than the
old style OF preserved fruits, where
"pouud for pound' is used.

Green Peas In Autumn.

We have it from the papers that a man
up in Virginia got cranky enough to put
a small area OF land under system of
irrigation. His neighbors all laughed a t
him, of course, but he went ahead all the
same. In the midst of his crankiness
he planted a crop of English peas late in
summer. The like had never before
been heard of in Virginia, but now the
laugh is coming in from an entirely diff
ferent direction. That crank who first
astonished the peoDle of the Old Do
minion by his operations, is now aston
ishing the people of New York by ship
ping them green peas. Two weeks ago
he shipped seventy-five baskets, and
they went off like hot cakes at 81 90 per
basket. This was only the beginning.
He has large quantity coming on to
ship yet, and will ship regularly twice a
week till December. Commenting on
the matter contem porary says the fact
is We have got much to learn relative to
the trucking business. Who would have
thought OF full-grown peas in November
and December! And there is nothing off
about those peas-thev are tender, juicy
and palatable. They tickle the palates
of the New Workers. immensely. The
grower is one among Virginia . thriving,
energetic. go-ahead truckers who are
continually improving upon old and
adopting new methods. Green peas in
the open air in October, November and
December! What do our Northern
friends think of that7 1t speaks volumes
for Southern possibilities.
For surely there Is nothing at all sur
prising about this statement. 1t is sum-
mer drout n alone that makps tho Enufish
pea n strictly spring crop. Under q cor
rect system OF Irrigation it would grow
just as well in the fall as It grows In the
spring without artificial water supply.
Was irrigation the rule in Texas, Texans
might now be enjoying their fresh green
peas without anything whatever in the
