Trees and Their Wants.

their fruit as well, l take
pleasure in caring for their
wants and seeing them grow.
Trees are friends of men and We
Should be friends to them.
The similarity between the
animal and vegetable kingdom is
very great. The Vegetable nour-
ishes and shelters the animal,
while the animal nourishes and
protects the vegetable. Both
have male and female. Both
need rest. both must have light
and warmth, water to drink and
air TO breathe, and both are born
to die.
The first thing that was done
to make a home on earth for man
was to plant trees that were pleas
ant to the sight and good for
fruit: and yet we see places
where mankind have staid for
many years and called home,
without trees or shrubs about
them.
OF all earthly things, the bent
Of our minds and aim of life,
should be to make our homes
pleasant as well as profitable.
Our homes should be the most
sacred and exaltdd place on
earth. 1t is not all of life TO
live and drag out a miserable
existence, nor should we let the
Incidence of our human nature
be more willing to receive the
good things of life than to i'm
part the same to others. He that
plants trees does it not for his
own benefit only. but for those
who follow him as well, and |
know of no occupation on earth
so grand and inspiring, as well
as life giving to 10th men and
women. as fruit growing. Moth
ng in farming pays as well as
growing trees. When a fruit
tree has been set one year and
is in good condition it is worth
one dollar and the growth for
the next four years is worth one
dollar each year, making the
value five dollars the fifth year,
and as we set on an avera ge, of
the different kinds of fruit, one
hundred trees on an acre, it foots
up $500. 90 per acre the 5th year.
And we often find at this time
that most kinds have given fruit
enough to pay the actual cost.
A carpenter can see how the
house will be before he builds it.
1t should be the same with US
in setting an orchard. Have a
plan and follow it as far as you
plant from time TO time. Do not
have the different kinds mixed
up in the same orchard as we
often see them. Have an apple.
pear. peach. plum and cherry
orchard occupying ground sep
arately. But mix varieties of
each kind. in order that they
may be well fertilized. In this
way you will find 1t more conven-
lent in irrigating, cultiyating.
spraying ETC.. as each kind
have their particular wants. and
can be more easily cared for.
Don't think you can't have an
orchard because your land is

and the drainage good. A tree
needs its regular supply of food
and moisture the year round.

lack of moisture in this country.
Varieties are of more or less val
ue when grown in different 10
calities. We find the Ben Davis
apple grown in Colorado brings
as much money in our eastern
market as any variety, If sold
between January and July,
while it is of much less value as
grown farther east. Some win
ter varieties east, as they mi
CRATE to the west, become fall
apples.
In selecting kinds and varie-
ties to plant; FIRST we should
take into consideration our abil-
ity to grow them; SECOND the
demand and wants of our most
accessible markets; THIRD the
advantage that other localities
have of growing and gettinf their
fruit TO market before we can.
1t is not best to grow the ear
liest varieties. which are more
inferior than those that mature
later and only be able to put
them in market at time when
it is being supplied from other
localities with better fruit.
FOURTH [but not least to be
considered is our expense. when
compared with other sections,
of getting our fruit upon the
different markets; FIFTH if we
are going to have a place where
we can hold our fruit and not be
obliged to sell al time when 1t
will bring the least money.
All these things are worth TAX
ing into consideration before
starting into the fruit growing

than our own experience. Since

last few years practically the standard,
dates back only to about 1885 In 1875 the
normal capacity was from 10000 to 5000
pounds, and in 1885 this normal capacity
had grown to 20 zoo and $4,000 pounds. In
that year a committee of the Master Car
Builders Association made a report re-
commanding certain standard dimensions
for G0000-pound cars, but such cars were
then quite exceptional. Few cars of less
than COCO pounds capacity are now b,dlt
for ordinary freight service, but on tire
other hand there is a decided tendency TO
increase the capacity to 10000 and $1,000
pounds. Several roads are now using cal S
of such capacity, including the Illinois
Central Railroad. Even this is not the
limit, however, for several tlltirei steel
cars of 100000 pounds. ard oven no ~

HIGHER RATES KNOCKED OUT.
minimum Charges ON Single Pack
ages Not to BE Increased.


Inc Savannah Freight Bureau. In con-
junction with similar organizations else
whefe' has just been Instrumental in Sc
curing the revocation Of the order in
creasn s the minimum charge and weight
on freight in single shipments. This viii
De good news TO number of Savannah
houses which had begun to fear that their
trade with points in adjacent states, in
which shipments of small weight were
mace would be handicapped by the ma
terlal Increases il freight charges under
the new order.
Under the order referred to the mini
mum charge on single shipments was rails
ed from twenty-five to fifty cents. with
the additional proViso that the charge on
single shipment should also be not less
than the full rate for a 100 pound ship
ment The practical result of this was to
raise the freight rate on small shipments
in many instances from fifty to one hun
dred Der cent.
The interest OF the Savannah merchants
was at once aroused in the matter, and the
Freight Bureau here was soon in possess
sion Of numerous letters showing how de-
ttA4liNA'dl TINS CHaIlSe would be TO certain
business interests. Commissioner Purse
made fine showing when he presented
these complaints TO the railroads. In other
cities the same system was pursued in Sc
curing expressions from the business men
and the result is seen in the restoration of
the old rates
large number of business houses here
would have been hurt if the order had
continued in effect. Messrs. Joseph Rosen-
helm & Sons, E. A. Well & Co., Eckman
& Netsburg, Frank & Co., Meinhard &
Schaul all pointed out that with the ad-
vance they would lose considerable trade.
the difficulty they experienced in getting
shipments from the factories necessitat-
ing hundreds of small back order" ship
ments on their part to their customers.
The higher freights on these numerous
small shipments would have been con-
siderable extra expense, and would have
prevented such shipments in many cases.
The same reason held good in the whole
sale grocery trade, and il was also pointed
out by houses in that line that small ship
ments of cigars and tobaccos, which are
quite common, would be handicapped by
such an increase. All the wholesale gro
GERS, as well as the hardware houses, the
paval stores factorage houses, the drug
firms and others, took a decided stand
against the ordered increase. The result
has served to again demonstrate the vigil
lance and the values of the freight bu-
reau to Savannah.
