What a power the Sugar trust isl
Recently some southern sugar growers
tried to get into Denver, but could not.
Why? The Denver Republican tells
the reason when it says:
Under the rules of the Sugar trust,
all the dealers of Denver must buy
their sugar from the Spreckels wing of
that organization in California Colo
RADIO is in the territory allotted to
Spreckels, and no grocer or other dealer
can purchase sugar in the east for de-
livery in this city
Only very recently a Denver whole
sale grocer was offered lot of cane
sugar from Texas at a satisfactory
price. He desired to buy the consign-
ment.> because cane sugar is sweeter
than beet sugar, and it would be very
desirable to use in his retail trade. He
was notified that he could not make
the purchase upon any terms unless he
first obtained the consent of Spreckels,
and that was only procured eventually
upon the assurance that, if the Den
yer merchant were not allowed to buy,
the stock would be retailed by the
sack in the city anyhow.
There used to be a theory that COM
petition is the life of trade, but evil
IDENTIFY it has no bearing on the sugar
trade of this country at the present
time"
Perhaps there may come a day when
the power Of the people will be such
that it can successfully struggle with
the trusts. But that day seems far dis
tant now

Furrow Irrixation.

Having the water upon the land, II
can be applied in various ways. Flood
ing or allowing the water TO spread
over the surface to the depth of from
two to ten inches was formerly extern
sively used. but 1t is now employed
only for grain and similar crops. The
most common method for vegetables
and fruits Is to make burrows and run
the water along in them so that it can
soak into the soil. Professor Taft, in
his article on irrigation Incorporated in
the year book of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. says:
If properly arranged, the water can
not spread upon the surface, and by
turning back the burrows as soon as
the water has soaked in and eultivating
the soil the moisture can be prevented
from evaporating.
Care should be taken to so lay cut the
rows in the orchard or garden that the
burrows for the water can be run at a
very slight slope. two or three inches
in 100 feet being all that is desirable.
while one foot in 100 feet is an extreme
slope. With a little care in laying out
the burrows water can be used upon
land that at first sight it will seem i'm
possible to irrigate.

The question of pruning is an open
one. Different people have different
views on the subject, yet all alike may
be successful. Then, again, the OBJ
jects to be attained are often widely
divergent, but on general principles,
the deciduous trees mentioned should
never be pruned or restricted in their
growth. In order to keep them shape
ly a process of thinning should be
adopted and by this means overhang-
ing and overcrowding branches remov-
ed entirely, thus preserving an even
distribution of light and air and main
tanning the symmetry of the tree.
As to the time to do this, when the
tree is devoid of foliage should be the
best, for it is then easier of access, 1t
makes less work in the removing of
branches, etc; there is no risk of bleed
ing and the chances of clumsy work
men tearing the bark when saving
away limbs are very much reduced.
Evergreens should be treated some
what differently; some of the kinds
mentioned are frequently trained into
hedges and in their good nature stand
several clippings during the spring and
summer. But TO be absolutely correct

Fertilizers on potatoes have been the
subject of exhaustive experiment at
the Ohio State Station and numerous
sub-stations. Phosphoric acid seems to
have been the controlling element In
increasing yield in all these tests,
whereas, according to the New Eng
land Homestead, in many of the South
ern, Middle and Eastern States potash
seems TO be the more necessary ele-
ment. In the Ohio test the lowest cost
per bushel of increase was obtained by
the use of superphosphate alone. but
the greatest gain per acre was with

tilizer containing nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash Muriate of potash
and nitrate of soda when used alone
did not give profitable increase. but

1t is but few years since the ex-
tractor was invented, artificial founda-
ton contrived and the movable frame
discovered. Now the world is set agog
by German, Otto Schulz, of Buckow,
in the construction of artificial comb,
all ready for the bee to fill with honey.
Both wooden and metallic combs have
been used for breeding purposes prior
to this, but never for the reception of
honey. The artificial comb is made of
wax, and, according to the Farm
Journals description of it, the only OBJ
jectionable feature is its heaviness. The
cell constructed by the bees Is in thick
ness from two one-thousandths to four
one-thousandths of an inch, but the
Schulz is twenty-five one-thousandths.
This would make it too expensive for
practical purposes. This objectionable
feature will doubtless be overcome, and
the combs, fully drawn out into cells,
will be given to bees as artificial fouu-
dation is now given. The insects will
then be confined to the business Of
