On many farm the disc harrow would
be labor-saving machine. But this inn
plement is by no means perfect. | am sat-
isfied that the best results-except on sod
ground-can be obtained by taking good
double-shovel pillow and working the soil
thoroughly with it. But this process is too
slow.
The cost of production of every manu-
featured article is much less to-day than it
was ten or twenty years ago. This cheaper
production was brought about by improved
machinery and the concentration OF CAPT
tai. Part of the business world thinks that
wheat selling at so cents is in the same pro-
portion as their manufactured articles sell.
Probably it is. But the farmer has not the
labor -saving machinery as the manufac-
turer. Neither is the concentration of cap
ital practical. We do need labor-saving
machines on the farm, at reasonable
prices, to lessen the cost of production.
The shape of the field has great deal to
do with the cost of blowing. Profitable
farming;i in ten-acre fields is thing of the
past. The less turning the cheaper the
production. Complete revolution is neces-
sary on many farms. Many middle fences

their work, and there will be a view of

Superintendent Moulders directions to
''throw life into pictures of the bold fronts

been followed with pleasing results.

part OF the week, and as soon as approved
will be sent to the Southern capital for the

to the necessity and value of fruit as a
daily food. and the consumption of fruit,
together with the trade in fruits IN larger
cities is assuming enormous proportions.
The increasing demand for fruit is encour-
aging the growing of fruit on a larger
profits and pleasure to grow fruit for do
nestle use.
Where there is a garden, large or small,
there is a place for fruit trees or berry
bushes, which, with a little care, will
prove constant source of enjoyment. But
where larger parcel of land is available
there the planting of an orchard is to be
urgently recommended. For an ideal
orchard, which would give the best kinds
and varieties of fruit during the whole
season, and which would supply large
household and leave surplus for friends
or for market, we should advise as follows.
Of course our selection will have to be
modified for extremely cold or warm
climate, and can be changed to suit differ
cnt tastes or wants:
For an orchard select a soil and situation
adapted to the growing of different varie-
ties of fruit for domestic use. For general
purposes a light sandy loan is best, but
every soil to be used for fruit or berries
should be warm, with natural or under
drainage, and must be made rich with
barnyard manure or green crops plowed
unOer. Inc manure must be well rOtted
and thoroughly mixed with the soil. A
spring or disk harrow and narrow shovel
cultivator are best for working the soil.
In laying out the orchard set out enough
of each kind to amply supply the family
and little more, and plant each kind by
itself In blocks like fields of grain. This is
necessary on account of the different habits
of growth and of fertilization. Those of a
spreading growth like apples need more
room, and must be planted farther apart
than others. The spread of roots may be
judged correctly by the spread OF the limbs,
which grow and spread in exactly the same
proportions as the roots.
When planting for domestic use Ut in
rows not too long and make full ROW
each kind. Keep the seed fruit togetH
and also the stone fruit. Distance for
planting apples to be not less than 80 feet
each way, pears about 20 feet, peaches lex
20 feet, plums and cherries 16 feet, ounces
about II feet. 70 utilize all the ground IN

leaving four badly battered and disguised
young men on the depot platform.
The company's agents in this City were
very busy yesterday endeavoring to trace
the tickets, which they believed had been
sold second hand through a "scalper"
named Duffin in Los Angeles. Still they
were in a state of anxiety over doubts that
the four tickets might have been genuine
and that mistake was made. With some
suits for heavy damages for the same
cause hanging fire the Southern Pacific
passenger agents had begun to fear that
scalpers and others were laying traps to
entangle the company in further suits,
which if successful would make ticket in
spectors so excessively careful that people
could travel with almost perfect freedom
from ejectment on scalped tickets That
means that the company would prefer to
let a suspicious ticket pass rather than
run the risk of damage suit in taking it
up and putting Its possessor off the train.
