The following account from the Olym-
pian-Tribune shows what can be done in
a small way with fruit in Western WASH
ington. There is no farmer but what
with little extra exertion could have as
much of an orchard as this:
"Three miles and half north OF Olym-
pia, ON the east side OF Puget sound lies
the fruit farm OF Robert +. Whitman.
He has only few trees in bearing but
they will illustrate the possibilities Of
orcharding in Thurston county.
"Mr. Whitman has 200 prune trees in
bearing. They occupy l 4 acres of land,
being set only one rod apart. This is
generally regarded as too crowded, but
the owner OF these trees has no cause for
complaint this year.
"From these POO trees were gathered 70
tons OF green fruit which dried down to 5
tons. Ordinarily there should have been
81. to tons, but the wet season rendered
the fruit little less solid than it other
wise would have been. This dried prod
uct is now selling at ~. cents per pound
and at that rate will return the owner the
snug sum OF $3.50.
"Mr. Whitman says fruit can be picked,
dried and boxed for l !. cents per pound

Farm, Orchard and Gardens


You are keeping great company out
there on the farm. | know OF none nobler
or more illustrious. Homer, Xenophon,
Cato, Cicero, Virgil, Pliny, and | know
not how many noble Romans and cult
ured Greeks, all were intimately assOci-
ated with farm life. Italy, France, Eng
land, Scotland, these have all immortal
lied your calling.
Did YOU ever think how many romances
are located upon the farm? How that a
novel that does not touch rural life in
some way is always poor and tagging?
Do you remember that English ruralism
makes half the charm OF all the great
English literature? Sir Hugh Platt,
Thomas Whatley, Edmund Burke, Gold
smith, Robert Burns, Sir Humphrey
Davy, Charles Dickens and hosts Of
others, have given the world very little
that is not somehow linked up with sweet
pastorals and near to natures heart.
Think OF novel that has no cold
house," garden" "villa," fields, "
woods" meadows or moonlighted
lanes" in it.
The most criminal vandalism in God
Almighty's world is that which belittles,
disparages or ruins the country.
Machinery, smoke, railroads, improve
ments, all great blessings. But how they
have ruined the brightest spot on God g
green earth.
The master OF kingdom, the real great
emperor, the most independent soul that
breathes is the farmer.
admire him, believe in him, | often
wish-with all his trials-I were he

POULTRY NOTES.

Gather the eggs often this cold weather
for if allowed to stay in the nest the germ
will be killed and the eggs rendered UNI
fertile.
Organize poultry clubs and improve
your stock, and show the consumers that
first.class stock is better than common
mongrels.
Give the birds plenty of green food this
month, giving meat and bone at least
once week. Set your hens this month
for early broilers. Pick the largest and
and best looking eggs and you will get the
best results.

In planting all orchard the first question
to solve is what kind will be the most
profitable. The determination OF this
depends opon the soil, situation and the
opportunities for marketing. Under all
conditions it is always safe to grow that
which does not have to be rushed to
market. 1t is Encouraging to ship perish
able fruit to a glutted market and have
freight and commission eat up all of the
proceeds, but the only way to avoid this
is to plan so as not to have to ship at such
times. In order to avoid this result plant
such fruit as can be either dried Or held
until the market is in better condition.
BY far the most profitable fruits for this
section OF the state are apples and prunes,
because they bear we'll, and because they
can be marketed to advantage. Pears
are also profitable, as when picked just
before ripening they can be kept two or
three weeks, but for the largest part of
the orchard plant apples and prunes, and
then prepare to dry the crop, for there is
where the profit is. The earliest and best
of the crop can be marketed fresh at good
prices, the rest can be dried and sold
when prices are good.
Having determined what to plant the
next question is when and how to plant.
The best time to plant in this section is
in the early spring, from now on, the
bnt IO,u 70 ~ tI,a,,, -
is as important as what to select. Orchard
lists generally agree that the ground should
be put in as good condition as for corn or
potatoes, in fact it is better il the ground
selected for the orchard has been cult,
waited for two or three years, but where
the soil is not too wet the trees may be
set out after two or three good plowlngs.
Ii the soil is wet it should be drained to a
depth OF three or four feet. Select good,
thrifty two-year-old trees, from five to
seven feet high. Twenty to twenty-five
feet apart is the right distance where the
limbs are pruned back and the tree head
ed low. They should not be set deeper
in the ground than they stood in the nurs-
cry. Dig good large holes, trim off the
ends OF all mutilated roots, set carefully
with the roots properly spread out, fill in
with fine soil, firm the earth around the
roots with the hands until all the roots
are we'll covered, then fill and press the
earth firmly around the tree with the
foot. In a windy locality trees should be
we'll staked until rooted, and kept from
rubbing against the stake by a wrapping
oh straw. Cultivate thoroughly all the
ground between the trees until the mid
die OF July.
One acre of such an orchard. properly
managed and cared for, will yield more
net profit than ten acres in any other
crop,
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1894-02-15

of dried fruit, which would leave net
figure on the above of 1850, or $2sS per
acre. These trees are from to years
old.
"Mr, Whitman also has had little ex-
perience in apples this year. lie has 10
bearing Baldwin trees also set one rod
apart. From these he secured l2O boxes
of apples which he sold at 81 per box.
At this rate one acre would have brought
him 81 800"
