CAUSES OF FAILURE,
Why Some Fruit Growers Never Max
Their Business Paw,

Why Some Fruit Growers Never Mako
Their Business Pay.
Even presu1ning that the orchard has
been property cultivated, pruned and
enriched, there are many who yet fail
to handle the fruit to the best advar,-
tage. In the first place, it is common
mistake to leave the fruits hanging too
long on the trees before picking, and
in consequence they become too ripe
to keep well, and n large proportion is
spoiled by falling to the ground. My
experience, says a writer in New York
Farmer, has led me to begin gathering
much earlier than formerly, and indeed
before my neighbors begin to think of
it. AT one time it was my rule to
begin gathering them about the 9th
of October, but the high winds of that
month made such havoc with them that
l soon changed the rule. The Goth OF
September is none too soon to begin
with such kinds as have attained full
size and color, and if by that time all
the apples upon tree have not reached
ma turity, it will pay to make two pick
ings, leaving the greener and smaller
ones to grow and color up. Attention
to the details of preparing fruit for
market always returns a good profit,
and must not be grudged. Careful
ndndlnS ana Careful sorting are OF
paramount Importance. Many throw
apples into the basket AS If they were
potatoes, or squeeze them with thumb
and finger as if they were made of
stone, and SO leave marks which spoil
their beauty. Round swing handle
baskets attached with wire hook to
the rounds of the ladders are the best
for apple-picking. Most orchardists
empty their apples upon the ground.
but sorting in that case is back-breal1-
ing work, and every rain delays il.
Some empty them in heaps upon the
barn floor, but in large orchard this
means much labor IN carting. My GUS
tom has been to empty into barrels
in the orchard, head up without pres
sure, write the name of apple on tina
end, and store under cover, and then
in packing empty them out on a pack
ing-table for sorting. For young or
chards and scattered varieties this is
the best plan 1 know of, for the inn
portant work of packing can then be-
done in a clean, dry place without NOV
ing about with nails and mallets and
press from one part of the orchard to
another.

HE LIKES The WORK.


4 Michigan Man Explains Why He La =
Horticulturist.
As have not land enough to depend
wholly upon the sale of farm products.
then some of my land is adapted to
nothing better than the culture of GER
tain kinds of fruit: also, the prices of
farm products have been so exceeding
ly low and the yield accordingly, that
have turned my attention to fruit
culture. In this vocation have found
excellent opportunities for the devel-
opment of mind and body, Us well as
purse There is less labor. physically,
though success at fruit culture requires
industry and punctuality. There is =
greater diversity of labor than is found
In most any other occupation which
will tend to prevent excessive fatigue
and build up a vigorous and healthy
body. Being a great lover of fruit,
which we should all know is healthy,
I find it a great enjoyment to work
among the trees and plants, training
their growth, watching the buds de-
velop into blossoms, the blossoms into
fruit, and greater yet is the pleasure
OF gathering it for market and home
use. 1 never enjoy better health than
through the fruiting season, and l
try to plan it as to have fruit the
whole year around, either fresh or pre-
served. I think there are great op-
portunities for the development of the
mind in this vocation; in fact, it is an
utter impossibility to attain any
marked degree of success without the
knowledge of some of the sciences,
such as chemistry, botany, geology and
entomology. From chemistry we learn
| how the simple elements of the soil
are used in plant formation, and when
and what we must apply to the soil
to supply any deficiencies; also, to fight
| the destructive insects of fruit we must
seek it's aid. Botany teaches us the
parts and functions, together with the
generic and specific characters of each
plant and how best we can further
plant development. A knowledge OF
geology will aid US in selecting the
proper soil for the different kinds OF
fruit But from entomology we learn
the most, which is essential to horticuI-
ture and is increasing in Importance
| each year. To distinguish between q
| friend and foe of the insect world, and
how best to successfully assist or de-
stroy them, and to know their life
habits, require extended information
upon this subject. Fruit culture is a
vocation which requires constant
study, there are new varieties, meth
| DDS and difficulties arising each year.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

It is well to remember that culls wiz
come with the best of breeding.
If COW has sore teat, milk very
carefully and apply extract of witch
hazel.
If a cows teats are muddy or covered
with other filth, they should be washed
with water and then wiped dry before
beginning to milk.
With temperature under control and
churning direct at the right time, this
butter will come solid so as to be easily
handled and free from buttermilk
When the butter is marbled it is
either caused by leaving too much but
termilk in the butter at the last work
ing or the salt has not been distributed
evenly.
Bitter butter may be caused by the
cows drinking of pond water, eating
weeds that give a bitter taste to the
milk, and sometimes by allowing the
cows to be too long in milk or it may be
caused by want of cleanliness with the
milk vessels.-Rural World

WATERING THE COWS.
An Important Task That Is Too OFTEN
Neglected by Dairymen.

An Important Task That Is Too OFTEN
Neglected by Dairymen.
1 do not mean to advocate the practice
of bringing the milk can into contact
with the pump spout. but L do wish to
present for serious consideration n
point too often ignored in caring for
the cows. Ordinary milk has about 81
per cent. water in its makeup, and in
spite of all that may be said as to the
value of proper feeding it is self evil
dent fact that without a proper supply
of water it is impossible for the COW to
give the usual amount of milk. Never
theless it is not sufficiently understood
that the COW should have water of the
right kind, and at the right times.
We have often seen cows come up
from the pasture where there was IL
running stream that they had to pass
on their way up and the first thing they
did after getting into the yard was to
make straight for the pump trough. The
reason of this was because the water in
the trough was more palatable to the
cows than the branch water. Whether
we want to or not, if we are successful
in the dairy business, we must consult
so small a thing as the taste of the cows,
and if they prefer pump water to
branch water must give it to them.
1t is absolutely eSSenI1dl TO the highest
production of milk that the COW have
all the water she wants, and this she
will not have if the water does not suit
her taste.
1t is also important that the COW have
access to water frequently. A camel
may drink once in a week and thrive.
but a COW is not camel by any means.
She is using water all the time in
making milk, and her reservoir is not
constructed to hold enough water for
any length of time.
If COW is turned out of a winters
morning to drink water from which the
ice has been broken first she will not
drink all she wants unless she has been
parched by thirst, and then she will
stand drawn up with the cold chi1s run
ming up and down her spine and at the
same time taking the feed she would
otherwise have turned into butter, and
using it to warm the water she has just
filled herself with.-National Stock

Freezing Ice Cream.

Do not draw water from the ice while
freezing unless water rises to top of
can. The can should be only two-thirds
full of milk, as it will raise one-third
while freezing. After the milk has
been placed into the can. put the freezer
together ready for operation, mash the
ice and sprinkle coarse salt on it until
it stops cracking. (The ice may be pre-
vjously prepared-) Then put the ice
around the can and add more salt.
When the freezing is completed, remove
the beaters and cover the freezer with
carpet or wooden cloth, and let the ice
cream harden one-half hour before
serving. After frozen, beating the
cream with large spoon or wooden
paddle will improve it. After standing
several hours it should be beaten be-
fore serving. Dipping a spoon in luke
warm water before serving each plate
of cream and turn once around, will cut

ments the same horses could transport

a saving in transportation is proper

half this amount could be saved by
substituting smooth pavementS for
those now in use in New York; and in
any city where the pavements are OH
an average poorer and rougher than
those in New York. it is clear that the
proportionate saving by the introduce
ton of the best street surfaces will be
even greater. Good roads are compare

Accelerated Grass Seed.

Many of our grass seeds, as found in
the market, are not entirely true t.,
name. a common method of aduItera-
ton in this case consists of mixing seed
of wild or otherwise inferior grasses
with that which sells for a high price.
Thus tall fescue seed, which sold for
20 cents pound, is mixed with Eng
lish rye grass, which sells for IL cents.
The two kinds of seed are so near alike
that professional scotsman can scarce
1y tell them apart. The seed of English
rye grass. being cheap, is also used to
adulterate that of Italian rye grass.
