"PLANT NO POOR TREES,
Words of Wisdom Well Worth At
tentiOn.

The nursery price of fruit tree is but
a small part of its actual cost by the
time it reaches the bearing age To
buy poor trees because they are sold
cheaply is rank folly. The best tree in
any nursery is none too good to plant,
and in the end will pay far better than
q poorer one. 1t may not be the largest
tree but will have sound roots and a
shapely top. Sharpforked trees, and
those with the main branches all diver
ging from one place are not fit to plant,
for they will prove treacherous when a
load of fruit is on them. Never touch
a tree that has been injured by rabbits,
aphis, etc, or by rough handling.
An apple tree. perfect in all respects,
would be cheaper at 81 than an ill-shaped
and stunted tree at l cent 1t is the labor
in caring for it, and above all the time it
stands in the orchard occupying valuable
space, that makes it costly. So put up
with no old scrubby trees, with poor
roots. Some varieties are small in growth
in the nursery that will develop into good
orchard trees. As a rule the nurseryman
does his part far better than the man
who buys the trees; but / hope the reader
will give his trees the best possible care.

HOW CAN WE MAKE MORE MONEY /:

This is the question farmers are ask
ing to-day the world over. There nave
been great changes during the past ten
or twenty years-changes that nave not
improved the financial condltlon OF JILL
ers of the soil. This leads to the ques-
tion. What use can we make OF the
soil that will bring more proflt than
the ordinary farm crops?
No answer can be given that VIII APP
DIV to all persons, other than Uhls-do
not do just what all others about you
are doing. Do not run into something
simply because your neighbor has done
we'll at it. The time has come when we
must Man for ourselves-when original
and novel methods prove the most pro-
fitable. There is not enough originality
in farming, nor in any rural pursuits.
How did the rich men of the east
and west make their money? By copy
ing after other people? No! They
struck out into new fields. They looked
ahead and discovered what tomorrow
would bring forth. This we must do
if we would deserve success. We must
put more brains into our work, more en-
terprise, more originality. This is a
progressive age, and those who do not
keep UP with the age or ahead of 1t
will miss the best success
1t makes me sad to see young men
managing the farms of their fathers
just as their fathers did, and barely
making ends meet Why do they not
turn their soil to more profitable use?
They dabble in a little of everything
and succeed at nothing.
This is an age of Specialties. In old
times a doctor was expected TO minis
ter to every i'll of humanity. Now one
man studies the eye, another the ear,
another the lungs, the nerves, the brain,
the teeth, the skin, etc. It is so in
every department of human endeavor.
He who would succeed best must know
how to do some one thing we'll, and do
that one thing only.
But what one thing can the farmer
do? My friend, there are hundreds Of
enterprises of which he might make
one a speciality. 1t might be the dairy,
poultry, hay, vegetables, potatoes, bees,
vinegar. improved horses, sheep or
cows, or swine, seeds, and lastly Cbut
with me it would be firstly, fruits.
1t is not SO much a question of what
you undertake to do as how you under
take the work. Do not be satisfied with
that which has been done, but lay
foundations for something greater. Do
not follow some other person, but be-
come yourself a leader. You cannot do
thds IN one year nor in ten years-nake
1T the work of a. life time.
Think of what Edison has done in
inventions-he has revolutionized his
time and age. Is there no opportunity
to improve methods in agriculture and
horticulture? Is there no opening here
for an ambitious man? Indeed, there
is, and the live men of this age were
born for just such work.-Green's Fruit

''It Is a good thing to be easily salts

ty-five bushels of Irish potatoes, says
P. T. Quinn, will be found rich enough

ERRORS OF CONGRESS
Alone Responsible Tor the Faulty Construction
Of the Tarim Sill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The enrolling
sierks of the house and the chairman Of
the house committee on enrolled bills
ieny most emphatically that they are re-
| sponsible for any of the errors in punctua-
ton or otherwise that threaten to defeat
the intention of congress with reference
to various tariff schedules. They say that
four comparisons of the enrolled bills and
the measure as passed by the senate We're
made and that congress is responsible for
any errors: It is, asserted that a careful
comparison will show that the enrolled
bill is IN absolutely perfect copy of the
bill as it passed the senate.
George B. Parsons, the chief enrolling
clerk, said: 1--WE cannot go by scholastic
standards, but are obliged to follow copy
to the strict letter. AS newspaper man.
you can understand what is meant by fol-
lowing copy. We suppose that the house
and the senate know what they are about.
Now l don't deny that there are mistakes
in the bill; that Is very apparent. But
these mistakes were made in the drafting
of the senate amendments, which, as you
know, were adopted by the house
Without a Stroke of Difference.
"The main error seems to be that dia-
monds have been placed upon the free list
This occurred evidently because the senate
used a semicolon instead of colon after
the word diamonds in the free list. Al
though it occurred to me, after we had
copied the item, that colon was meant,
we had no authority here to make a
change, for that would be for us to assume
the right to legislate."
eve have no such right whatever, nor
have we right to construe the intention
of the Legislators, for that would give us
the authority of court Now, if we want
to go ahead and have some fun out of this
bill, we can do it just as easily here as the
folks in the treasury department, for we
have found
| Some Very Funny Things
in the official copy of the bill. l will in
stance one of them. Musical instruments
are to be noted in the bill under he head
of explosive substances The senate
amendment read to insert the musical
paragraph after line 25 on certain page,
which brought it between the item of fric-
ton matches and that of percussion caps.
OF course this surprised us somewhat, but
we concluded that the author of the
amendment lived next door to some chap
who has grown daughter who is learning
to play on second hand piano" ..
Representative Pearson of Ohio, chair
man of the enrolled bills committee af-
firmed all that Mr.. Parsons had said as to
the accuracy of the enrolled copy.
A member of the house, in speaking of
the number Of mistakes discovered, says:
"The house adopted the senate bill entire.
To have amended even the semicolon after
the word diamonds would have necessi-
tated the return of the bill to the senate,
which was precisely what the house man
ayers did not desire. Had an effort been
made to amend the senate bill and other
errors of punctuation, it is more than prob
able that the bill would have by this time
received a totally different fate than that
which it met"
