It seems to me there is not much
new to be said about poultry raising,
especially if one has read the poultry
papers, one of which every farmer
ought to take. 1t is the oft-repeated

some one will be benefited by it. Poul-
try raising in this country has become
an extensive business, and is growing
more in Importance every year. He
who raises the best fowls of any good

Bulletin So. of the Delaware expert
ment station treats of the cherry. In
part it says:
Soil-The cherry will thrive in va
riety of soils, but it reaches its nigh
est development in one naturally light,
dry and loamy: in a soil retentive OF
moisture. but which never "sours. Inc
sweet cherry will flourish on soils too
dry for other fruits. but the sour va
rieties require more moisture to devel-
Cd their best cherries. The Orchardlst
must have recourse to undertaking
if the soil is not naturally dry, but on
light dry knolls, otherwise favorable
to cherry culture, the moisture content
and the moisture-holding capacity OF
the soil can be increased by the ad-
dition of vegetable matter, and by Ju-
dicious surface cultivation. The writ
er has in mind a knoll in eastern Ne"
York. ideal for the sweet cherry. but
which was too dry and thin for the
growth of the trees. The mechanical
condition of the soil has been changed
by turning under crimson clover, anG
by frequent cultivation to a deep re-
tentive loan, adapted to the hlghes'
DEVELOPMENT of the fruit in the dryes'
seasons.
Location.-It is probable that IN
northern Delaware the best results
with the cherry will follow a location
that retards the period of blooming
slope to the west or northwest. as az
exposure to the south would hasten tht
development of the buds in spring. anu
endanger the crop from the late "hI's
frosts. The selection of depression
or the base of a hill is likely TO De Iol-
lowed by late frOsts in these LOCATIONS
In the central and southern part OF Ihe
state, where the country is nearly IeN-
ell or gently undulating. slight eleVa-
ton is preferable since it insures good
drainage of the land, and a Circulation
lof air. 1t should be said, however
that the more hardy sour cherry VIII
thrive on lower levels than the SWEEP
varieties.
Distance of Trees.-In thirty years
the vigorous varieties OF sweet chei-
'ries may attain a height Of from AZ
to so feet, with arms spreading on
either side from 10 to 20 feet. The
varieties of sweet cherries should stand
not less than 80 feet apart each way.
Closer distances result in interiaclng
branches, difficult picking and spraying
and a larger amount of decayed fruit.
In western New York, the sour va
rieties are set at various distances.
ranging from 12x12 to 1Sx1S feet. Later

the spreading Montmorency and Early
Richmond, and 16x16 feet for the more
bushy Morellos.
Fropagating the Varieties.-Cherry
trees are usually set two years after
pudding. The trees are budded in the
nursery as yearlings, the sour cherries
mainly on the Mahaleb and less on
the Mazzard and the sweet varieties
almost entirely on the Mazzard. If
the grower contemplates the cherry
business on large scale, the writer
believes it Of great importance that he
select buds from trees with uniformly
heavy bearing tendencies, and send
them to nurseryman to be budded for
the future orchard. Every fruit grow
er appreciates the fact that some trees
OF his orchard always bear, others oc-
casionally bear, while still others new
er bear. 1t is universally known that
the tendencies in bud are transmitted
10 the plant resulting from its propaga-
ton. The present system of propagat-
ing fruits from bearing trees. nom
bearing trees, and nursery rows must
tend to deteriorate varieties, which can
be maintained and improved only by
selecting buds from trees whose fruit
is superior to that of the entire or
chard. The subject of the maintenance
and improvement Of varieties through
bud selection will be treated in sub
sequent bulletin.
Pruning.-The pruning OF the cherry
orchard should be done during the first
two or three years of it's existence,
after which only the dead and interlac-
ing branches will need to be removed.
In general, the sweet cherry should be
so formed as to give it a spreading
habit. When the sweet cherry is allow
ed to grow without paying attention to
its form, it assumes a spire-like shape,
but if the head is started to 31a feet
from the ground, and the three or four
main arms are pruned in for two or
three years, the tree assumes more OF
the spreading apple tree form. The
spreading form of tree has many essen
tial advantages; it facilitates the opera
ton of spraying, materially reduces
the cost of gathering the fruit, and of
greater importance, it shades the trunk
and lessons the danger to it from sun
scald and from the bursting of the
bark.

The Sorghums in Kansas.

In 1893, when the first returns of the
non-saccharine sorghums in Kansas
were made to the State Board of Agri-
culture the area planted to milo maize
was 14004 acres, Kafir corn 46,911
acres, and Jerusalem corn 1927 acres.
In the four years since, according to
a press bulletin issued by Secretary F.
D. Coburn. milo maize has fallen 25.5
per cent in acreage, and Jerusalem
corn 80 per cent, while the increase
in Kafir corn has been 692 per cent,
324,S3S acres. The counties in 1893
having 1000 acres or more of Kafr
corn were Neosho, leading with 1882
acres; Clark, 2,4S0; Comanche, 2,4O5;
Haskell, zoos; Ness, ZIG; Greenwood,
1927; Dickinson, 1,549; Stanton, 1921;
Gray, 1,263; Morris, 1,218; Meade, 1,210;
Ford LII Grant, 1,150; Lincoln, 1899,
and Ellis, 1,044, or fifteen counties all
told This year there are II counties
with 1000 acres and upwards, ranging
from lips acres in Graham to 22.256
in Greenwood. This years area is
81, 1913 acres. The leading counties are
Greenwood. with 22,256 acres; Barber,
Il .54S; Dickinson, II, 731 Butler, II, ia.
and Reno, 11,124. So popular has this
plant become that it is grown in every
county. and, except in very few, its
acreage is of considerable Importance.
If the total increase in acreage during
he past four years was equally appor-
Toned there would be 1908 acres in
rease for each county in the state.
During the four years from 1894 to
1897 inclusive. the saccharine sorghum
area increased 22O,32S acres, or 166
ner cent. The total this year is 352, 52S
acres. The county having the largest

The Hog Wanted.-A correspondent
of the Country Gentleman says: We
want more size, bone and stamina, bet
ter feeding qualities, more fecundity,
and the bacon type of hog, and we
want these things associated with good
breeding qualities, good development
at a somewhat early age, easy keeping
qualities and, above all. dociIity. How
shall we get what is wanted? Theo-
dore Lewis of Wisconsin answers the
question thus: DO just as have done
get the best sows you can within the
limit of your means, but do not buy
some half-starved, ill-bred animal that
is closely related to the razorback.
Get something that shows better
breeding, and have them served by the
best boar in the neighborhood. Take
the best care of them, and let ingenui-
ty be your guide in the construction of
shelter of whatever kind. Feed freely
and at regular hours. Never carry
N ore than you can feed literally.

land, from which country we received
some hops of very ordinary quality, at
prices not more than half those which
were being charged for the inferior
qualities produced in other countries.
The situation is now entirely changed,
as it is not uncommon, to-day, to ma
Polish hops quoted at very high rates.
1t is true that considerable plantations
have existed in Russia for a long pc
riod, but their product has been little
known, and has been in small demand
because the drying and curing were far
from what was desirable. During the
past twelve years or so many i'm
provements have been effected. Inc
Russian government, seeing the prof.
Its which would accrue to the country
by the adoption of more rational and
more careful system, has supported the
efforts made by the planters, with the
object of obtaining a prodpct resem-
bling the fine qualities Of Germany and
Austria. The first Warsaw hop com
pany, whose collection OF samples is
shown in the brewery section OF our
International Exhibition, were among
the earliest to take advantage of this
encouragement given by the support OF
the government, and have rendered i'm
portant service to the hop culture by
engaging experts from abroad. and by
introducing on a large scale the Guilt
walton OF plants obtained from Be-
hemia and Bavaria. After careful ey-
animation of the samples resulting
from these replantings, we are able to
state that they now correspond very
nearly with the actual Bohemian OF

Washington, Dec. 2.-The exact ma
ture of Germany's demands on Hayti
became known for the first time
Wednesday. The details came by way
of steamer from Port Au Prince and
show the demands to be as follows:
First-An indemnity of $4,000
american dollars) for Emil Lueders
Second A promise that Lueders may
return to Hayti and sojourn there
without danger of any kind.
Third-A letter to the German gov
eminent in which Hayt1 expresses an
apology for the proceedings toward
the German government in the whole
transaction.
Fourth-That the president of Hayti
charge d'affaires at Port Au Prince
1t was alao am unced that if the
indemnity were not given, a Warship
would be sent to Hayti and diplon1 attic
relations be broken. Without answer
ing the demands in detail, Hayti asked
if Germ any by presenting this demand
intel9ded to close negotiations in the
Lueders case and also on what
ground an apolCgy was asked. The
money demand is regarded by Hayti
ais far less important than the other
three which are considered as affecting
Haytis homer. The demand upon the
president to receive Count Schwerein
graciously is looked upon as involving
deep humiliation as it was this official
who went before the president and
rrdely submitted his demands. It
was this FOURTH demand which led
Hayti to prepare for an eventuality.
