Mr.. R. Christensen, of Ovledo, was in
the city today. He says his five-acre
grove is coming on nicely. He had his
trees wrapped with three or four thick
nesses of newspaper last winter, and
saved the trunks from the cold, and
consequently he will have fruit next
year. He argues that it is cheaper and
better in the end to pay four or five
cents per tree to have ones grove prop
erly wrapped than to pay one half cent
to one cent each for a cheap job. At
five cents per tree it would cost only
fifty cents to wrap a tree ten winters,
which would insure a bearing grove.
Nothing else that can be done to the
grove will give as good return for the
outlay as will properly wrapping the
trunks OF the trees. Orange growers
should look after the matter and not be
caught this winter. Reporter.

AppIe Tree Experiments.

The Nebraska agricultural expert
ment station has issued a bulletin
from which the following practical
conclusions are drawn: Grafting-wax
proves better than soil or COW manure
in application to injuries from mice
and rabbits. Trees in cultivated
ground have darker and more vigorous
collage than those in sod ground, with
less yellowing, dropping of leaves or
whiting in hot, windy days. Apples
averaged IA per cent. greater weight
on cultivated than on pasture land,
and IL per cent. greater than on
moved land. As to moisture, for every
100 barrels of water in 20 inches depth

ends outside the building, with four
upright pipes two feet square at

the danger of the much dreaded draft.
The germ of tuberculosis dies in sun

the better the quality of the butter and
the more there will be of it. When

more or less of the butter remains in

Wherever fresh skimming of milk is
added to older cream the whole should
be stirred together. using d long thin
paddle so as to stir the whole mass
from the bottom, mixing thoroughly
together, so that all will ripen evenly.
Gre am should never be allowed to be-
come sour. Slightly acid is the right
condition. Usually no cream should
be added inside of twelve hours before
churning, as under average conditions
it requires about this length of time to
ripen properly.
The ripening should be done in a
moderately cool place, where an even
temperature can be maintained and
where the air is pure and fresh. Milk
and cream are very susceptible to odors
of all kinds, ami under no condition
should be exposed to foul odors of any
kind The proper handling and ripen
ing of the cream is a very important
factor in the making of a frst-class

The Preservation of Fruit.

After sound fruit of the right varle-
ties is obtained, the essentials for pres.
ervation are temperature only few
degrees above the freezing point, even
and not subject to change, with pure
air, not too dry. These conditions are
to be had rarely outside of a house
built for the purpose. And one thing
is especially to be kept in mind: Fruits
will not keep long IN good condition
after having been in such a room any
considerable length of time--Farmers'

BUSH APPLE TREES.
A Hint from England Which May Benefit
American Fruit Growers.

American Fruit Growers.
In a paper read before the fruit
growers of Worcester county, Eng
land, the writer spoke of the once ia
nous apple orchards of that locality,
and of their decline, owing to various
causes, SO that to-day American apples
are sold at their very doors. To re-
cover this lost ground is possible, if
methods of cultivation are improved.
One improvement is to grow the trees
in bush form, not by using dwarf
stocks, but forming large open bush
shape on tree stocks which have been
carefully prepared, and later possess
an abundance of healthy fbrous roots
that work and feed near the surface,
while the tree branches are each per-
feet Gordon of fruiting wood from the
stem of the tree to the extremity of
each branch-quite different from the
piglny bushes grated on Paradise and
like stocks. Trees CT this character
may be planted to 8 feet apart or
more, and alternate trees removed,
later on, to a fresh plantation. far
trees with good fbrous roots are al
ways fruitful, and can be removed
with safety. The land for at least the
diameter of the branches should be
held sacred to the roots, as unless
these are properly cared for the trees
cannot ripen their wood and develop
the embryo fruit buds. With such
trees, the work of pruning, spraying,
thinning and gathering is much easier,
and manures are more efficiently APP
piled. OF course the land should be
well selected, in good heart and deeply
cultivated before planting, so that
moisture, air and heat can readily pen

AN EXPENSIVE EVIL.
That Is Apt a Name for Bad Roads as
Could Be Found.

That Is as Apt a Name for Bad Roads as
Could Be Found.
Good roads, like charity, should be-
gin at home. People every where are
beginning to realize that good roads
have a cash value. Properly construct
ed highways not only add immeasura-
bly, to the pleasure of the people but
to their profit as well.
The farmers who have for many
years been organizing for the purpose
of securing better and cheaper railroad
transporta lion for their marke ia BILE
products, are now becoming awake to
the fact that great reform is needed
right at home. An unnecessary and
very expensive evil has been permitted
to exist at their very doors. They
have been wasting much valuable time
and horsefesh in getting products to
market. They have learned that it
costs more to haul load to the sta
ton few miles away than it does to
have it transported from the station to
the faraway seaboards.
This along the line of profit. In the
way of pleasure they have suffered an
immeasurable loss. Because of poor
roads they have been more or less iso-
lated from the world and deprived of
the priceless advantages that come
from association. The farmers sons,
unable to readily get to and from the
villages, have gone to the villages and
cities to remain. So have many Of
the daughters. The lack of society
has been blight upon rural
life, robbing it of the flower of its
youth. The same would be true of
cities to a great degree if there were
no good means of getting about.
The farmers are going to do better,
and the merchants in all the country
towns will, if they are at all wise,
| gladl.y do their share towards making
good roads.
The good roads town catches the
trade.
A good road is thing of beauty and

An Industry which Is Attractive as wen

It is mystery why mushrooms are

1t is to. the garden, or indoor culture
of the common mushroom, agaricus

attention. There is an ease and nov
