The horticultural products of Texas

country. Tie freight rates are low

Why more people do not engage in

PEACH TREES IN SOD LAND.
The effect OF grass sod upon the
health and long life OF peach trees has
not been sufficiently studied. but there
is some reason to believe that the great
age attained by some specimens has
been partly owing to the protecting
action OF the grass sward In which they
grow, says the Massachusetts Plough
man. Most of these old trees grow in
rich grass land or beside walls and
stone heaps, where the soil was we'll
supplied with plant food. hut where the
| surface soil was seldom or never dis
| turbed by the plow. The action OF the
sod or other covering no doubt tends
to check excessive growth late In the
/ season and secures hardy, well-ripened
/ wood, and II the soil IL strong the
foliage is sufficiently vigorous. The sod
or mulch also tends to prevent deep
| freezing and sudden thrawing.
While visiting the farm OF Col. ]. A.

small orchard OF healthy locking peach
/ trees was seen growing In the sod land

"rhese trees" said Colonel Harwood.

people demurred, saying Azote was al

Azote was then wearing heavy shoes.

thing his new owner-trainer turned his
attention to was getting these cumber-

Il wonder If those people up there
know how much study and care it has

said Mr.. Salisbury last week as he
turned away from Azote in the cooling
out tent at Fleetwood and pointed to
the big crowd on the club house that
had just ceased cheering the best per-
Torrance ever made in a race by a
trotting horse. When l bought the

Azote is the third consecutive trot-
ting champion that Monroe Salisbury
has trained and made In 1898 il was
the four year-old colt Directum that
swept everything before him in the
freee-for-all class, beating the best
horses of the year and winding up the
campaign by setting the race record.
the stallion record and the four-year-
old record at 2:05A, where they still
stand unbeaten. II is worthy of note
that Directum trotted his first race at
Grand Rapids in 1892, two days after
Azote made his debut on the same track,
and. like Azote, it was at Fleetwood in
the open class that the little black colt
first established his right to be classed
as the champion. When Mr.. Salisbury
lost Directum he purchased control
ling interest in Alix. and before the
middle of August last year she was the
acknowledged queen of the trotting
turf Now that Alix seems to have gone
wrong. he has taken the ten-year-old
horse that two noted trainers turned
down, and has made him greater
horse. perhaps. than either Alix or
Directum. Truly the veteran plains
man deserves the title of "the King
maker" that trotting horsemen have
given him in recognition of his skillful
work with Directum. Alix and Azote.
