MISTAKES OF AN oRCHARDIST.
Practical Hints from an Experienced Fruit
Raiser.
Moab. Grand O.. June l. 1sgs

Moab, Grand CO., June l, 1898.
To the Editor:
In looking over my orchard l was
thinking Of the mistakes | have made
and II they were made public 1t would
save others from repeating them. l
am writing for places where trees grow
thrifty as they do here in Moab. In
the first place / set my tree too close
together. They are 80 feet apart and
should have been 40. Another mis-
take: set the trees in line each way,
ond row 20 feet from where the first
row commenced so trees VIII not be OPP
pOsite each other. The next mistake:
] set out a lot of poplars. If ! should
go on another new place | would not
set out poplar tree. Set out walnuts or
some durable tree. The next mistake:
i set out a vineyard. All the grapes a
person needs Is what he needs for his
family, and what he can market An
other mistake Is having so much to do.
l am not able 10 do work when 1t
should be done. a great deal of labor
can be saved by going through the
orchard in time and pulling off the
sprouts that have started where they
are not needed. Another mistake: AL
a time.
find by close observation that 1t
takes more to produce the seed Of the
fruit. ] have taken off as much as
two-thirds of the fruit and then would
have nearly as much If not quite as
much and great deal nicer. Now If
you let an apple tree overbear 1t will
have of years. that Is, there will be
years when 1t will not bear any fruit
but II a tree is properly thinned, the
tree will bear fruit every year If
weather Is favorable. If you will take
good glass and look at n fully de-
veloped apple you will see that there
are globes with n thin skin around
each particular one. There Is the
same number In n small undeveloped
apple that there Is in large one, and
the same amount of pulp in the small
apple as in the large one. There IS
the same difference between the fruits
as there is between poor meat and fat
meat.
l will tell OF another grand mistake:
Going into debt If / had the interes:
1 have paid would be so well off that
| would not have to work any more.

this narrow harbOr stream lies the fleet
of Admiral Cervera. All day and all

drift up and down past IT,
EerChed high on the side Of the en-

No attempt is made by the fleet to 20

Owls in Chicago.

Chicago has a novel trade in owls,
tho supply coming to the commission
merchants from the farmers boys in
the rearby States.
The first owl which came to Chicago
in this manner was sent as venture
by farmer boy, who had somehow
managed to entrap italive. It proved
so unexpectedly successful in ridding
the warehouse of rats and mice-hav-
ing been freed at night with the idea
of making an experiment in this di-
rection-that it was purchased by the
man in whose care it was resting.
The freedom from rodents which it
brought induced other commission
men to look out for owls, and from
the commission firms the idea gradu-
ally spread to the grocers, butchers
and market keepers generally of the
city. Now large percentage Of these:
men keep an owl down in the cellar
during the daylight and bring it up to
the store when darkness falls.
It is said that the expense and care
of maintaining owls are more than re-
paid by their services in vanquishing
the rats and mice. The owners And
ianitors of the large apartment houses
in the city are also beginning to realize
the value Of possessing an owl when
rats, mice, cockroaches and vermin
generally are to be exterminated.-
