single strong, central stem, which the
more flexible wood of the orange needs,
and the peach and the apricot do not.
But, after all, the very best way to
make tree that will be thing OF beauty
and profit for years, is to take stout
trunked, four-year-old Seeding from the
nursery, and in the second autumn after
planting, insert d single bud three feet
from the ground and train that directly
upward by stake and knife till your soar
ing ambition is gratifed. Such a tree
with many far reaching roots, will send
up strong single leader in one season,
and the stout, thick, Seeding trunk of
three feet is now past the supple age, but
will need protection from the sun by
boards or a coat of whitewash. Such
tree is builtfor business, and will not need
to have it's vitality lessened by constant
cutting after the one great shock of re-
moving the seeding to give place to the
bud
1t will not be long before it will sur
prise you by dropping it's burdened limbs
provokingly near the ground. This,
which is already practiced, is the coming
method of making standard trees of such
buds as have decided tendency to droop.
Lemon buds, put on a vigorous stock,
send up so stiff leader that they need
less training, but afterthey have begun to
form a head the top must be shortened
like an apricot tree, and the work kept up
every year, else, with the burden OF fruit,
the top spreads widely and the trees are
injured

Castor Bean Culture.

Would castor bean culture pay in Flor
ida? We don't think the question can be
intelligently and satisfactorily answered,
because no one, so far as we know, has
ever tried it. However, Judging by the
profits of the business in other sections,
where the conditions for the cultivation
of the plant are less favorable than in
Florida, we unhesitatingly say that our
opinion is thatthe business could bemade
to pay. In Florida the castor bean plant
partakes more of the nature of peren-
NAL than an annual, as our winter sea-
sons are so mild the plant often lives from
year to year, and in some cases attains
immense size. In Missouri it is different
as the bean must there be planted every
year. Notwithstanding this fact the bus
mess pays we'll there. Mr.. Robt. Wilson,
the pioneer castor bean grower. of Bad
ger, Mo-, in a recent issue of the Vernon
County (Mo.) Mail, says:
My experience and observation both
convince me that the best paying crop
we can cultivate in my neighborhood is
the bean crop. The land is not impover-
ished as by other crops; indeed it is en-
riched, and then the actual profit slarger
and surer
This season, on twelve acres, raised
26O bushels and sixteen pounds of beans,
and though | sold them below the top
price, realized $32.75 an acre The
land had been planted in beans three sue
cessive seasons, and one season in milet.
For the four years made $50 an acre. or
500 year on each acre for the four
years. That think is good profit How
much is the land worth? Well, 1925 an
acre | suppose.
Many people are more OF less prejudiced
against castor beans at all events, some
do not seem to realize how profitable a
crop they are. Now told some of my
neighbors that | would make twenty
bushels to the acre, and the crop brought
me twenty-one bushels and three pecks
to the acre. | planted the first crop ever
planted i'll the county in 1872, and then
raised twenty-three and one-half bushels
to the acre.
Do beans always bring paying price?
Well, / have never sold at less than IS
cents, and those | sold this season to
Lowry & Harvey, at Walker, brought
$3.50, $1,75 and $1.90, and the price
subsequently went to 30 bushel.

Training the Orange Tree.


lemon trees. DR.. Scott, of Ontario, has
written good sense upon the subject, and
his letters have induced Mr.. Chas. r.
Paine, of Redlands, to write upon the
subject for the Citrograph. He says:
am tempted to continue the subject,
chiefly in the line of training OF theyoung
orchard tree. The doctor array ofeleven
good reasons for pruning are ample and
will doubtless set every grower to work
next spring, but let that grower, so we'll
armed with knife and shears and saw,
beware how he becomes a rash tree butch
er, instead of clear-headed reasoning
primer He would far better adopt the
view of Abbott Kinney, who said: "When
a man feels like pruning his orange trees,
he should go away from home and re-
main until the desire has passed away"
Doubtless Mr.. Kinney has seen, as we all
have, many a, fair tree, may be orchards,
ruined, which the diligent owner has cut
into regular big tree shape while the trees
were small-that is, long, bare trunk,
surmounted by few branches. 1t looks
nice, doesn't it? An orchard of fine
young trees; they had no business to be
sending out quantity of branches from
every part of the trunk, longer and more
thrifty perhaps, the nearer they are to
the bottom. He is going to make them
look like trees right away, and he keeps
up his whacking strokes year after year,
making regular tree shape all the time.
What sickly, unthrifty orchard he has
and how many imitators!
The mans object is good. He should
want to secure a correct tree shape; he
should want to make an orchard easy to
cultivate, if possible, but heis in too much
OF a hurry. He must not subordinate
sound, healthy trees to convenienceing get
ting around them with horses and tools.
All young orange trees need lower
branches until abundance of vigorous
branches form a high top and then, if
they come too near the ground and you
think you can afford to dispense with
their wonderfully; prolific fruit bearing
powers, you car-shorten them in, or cut
them off without endangering the health
of the tree. When the first young growth
appears on newly planted trees, the ex-
perienced grower does not cut it off the
trunk atonce; he is glad to see it come
anywhere. He pinches back the tips Of
the lower shoots after others appear
plentifully above, and before they harden
into woody limbs, he may break them
off with thumb and finger. Such almost
daily care without cutting tools will
shape a tree to fine proportions.
An excellent method of pruning a
standard tree from the bud usually fur
nished by the nurseryman, is to plant
with it a stake as tall as your purse can
buy, say from seven to ten feet above
ground. A good stake, where used while
the tree is forming, will save the use of
many props when the tree is fr1liting
Tying the leader and shortening the
branches to make them stOcky, is the
simple process of fashioning the tree.
Every up-growing young branch OF the
orange tree on reaching certain height
becomes too heavy to sustain itself and

Told by Edwin Booth.

Philadelphia Enquirer: Edwin Booth.
when last seen i'll this city, told good
story conn ected with his profess onal visit
to Germany. In Berlin he was billed to
present Hamlet and during the per-
Torrance, in the first interview with the
players, he was utterly astounded to see the
first actor come upon the stage made up as
very old man, with long, flowing white
beard which reached to his waist, making
him look like the traditional Hebrew pa
triarch Being unable to speak German,
and the performer having no knowledge
whatever of English, Mr.. Booth could not
ascertain the reason of this extraordinary
makeup. He was unable. however, to
master his curiosity in regard to it, so, after
the presentation, he procured an interpreter
and proceeded to interview the perform er
on the subject.
why on earth, asked Mr. Booth did
you make up so old for the First Actor? In
America he is always played as a young
man, and l cannot understand why he
should be represented otherwise z
oh. replied the German, Shakespeare
himself is My authority, for does he not
make Hamlet address the First Actor as
old friend?''
Mr.. Booth smiled and proceeded to ex-
plain that in English man might becalled
an old friend and yet be young, but the
German utterly failed TO get it through his
head. Mr.. Booth afterwards ascertained
that not only in Berlin, but throughout
Germany, where Shakespeare's plays are
done more frequently than in either
England or the United States, the First
Actor had invariably been made up as very
aged because Hamlet styled him old
friend.
