NEW BUTTER MARKET.
American Product Brings Five Cents
n Pound More in berlin Than
the Home Article.

A cablegram from Berlin announces
that the other day in Germany's capital
city American butter sold over all com
petitors at an advance of 90 pfennig,
or five cents of our money.
When we consider that Germany has
been the most persistent foe to Avert
can agricultural exports, going so far
even as to attack our apples and shut
them out of her markets, we may see
in this incident hopeful change. But
we may be sure of one thing-tbat butt
ter was sold on its merits and the con-
sumers paid five CENTS more per pound
for it than other buffers could be had,
not because it came from the United
States, but because il was gilt-edge in
quality. pleasing in flavor and bore the
stamp of honesty and purity.
This is only one incident, but it in
dicates great possibilities, not along the
line of oleomargarine and process but
ter, but in the future of the first-class,
pure article, such as American dairy
men know how to produce, can produce
in almost unlimited quantities and az
less cost than any other people in the
world. What occurred at Berlin Will
be possible in many other cities OF
Europe if we but keep our standard
high, and insist that nothing but the
genuine article be permitted to leave
| our shores.--Farmers' Voice.

FALL PLANTED TREES.
They Have Number OF Important
Advantages over Those Planted
In the Spring.

The fall-planted fruit or shade tree
has great advantage over the spring
planted tree. Our summers are hot,
pretty much all over the country, and
they are pretty long, too. The heat,
with the long dry spells that we fire.
ouently have, makes the growth of the
spring-planted tree very slow and un-
certain. But if the planting is done in
the fall. the hole dug large and deep,
the top soil and suitable fertilizer placed
at the bottom, over and among which
the roots are carefully spread, and more
rich soil added, with the clay subsoil
which has been removed in making the
hole, poked we'll about the young tree
at the surface, the tree will be pretty
we'll fortified for any kind of weather.
The depth and width OF the hole will
enable it to retain much moisture about
the roots, which become well set, and
begin growth during the late fall,
which is resumed at the very beginning
of mild weather in the spring. There
;s no shock to the tree when the true
growing season comes and it is ready to
resume its growth. Having tried both
fall and spring planting of trees, shall
hereafter, when have occasion to plant
trees. do it in the fall of the year.

SHORT-LIvED ORCHARDS.
why Fruit Trees Weaken and Die
sooner In the Western states
Than I'm the East.

One thing that always strikes an east
ern man on visiting the west or west
ern man visiting the east, is the great
difference in the size of the trees and
the age of the orchards. There are or
chards in the eastern states with trees
over century in age that are still bear
ing. a tree at rs or 80 is looked upon
as just in its prime. In the west ten and
Is years of bearing is about the average
life of tree.
In size they do not grow so that any
thing but short foot ladder is required
in picking time. Most of the fruit can
be reached from the gorund or from
wagon. The trees early crack, become
dccayed in the trunk and the limbs split
off. A tree so years old is curiosity.
There is cause for this which is evil
dent to any thoughtful observer. 1t is
the dry, hot winds and sun that play
havoc with our orchards. In the great
prairie country an orchard is wholly
unprotected from the heavy winds
which sweep unrestrained over the level
country. The prevailing wind during
the hot months is southerly. The limbs
with the shading leaves are blown so
that the hot sun shines directly on the
body of the tree, drying it until the bark
checks and peels loose from the wood.
Water collects in this crack at the next
and at every ensuing rain, and the death
of the tree has begun. Decayed and
weakened it cannot stand the strain of
its heavyto and some windstorm leaves
it wreck, useful only as firewood.
We cannot hope to remove the cause.
Our only remedy is in perfection. A
windbreak of some hardy trees that can
withstand both drought and wind along
the south side of an orchard is of in
estimable value to the owner. The man
who contemplates putting out an or
cbard should also consider a wind
| break.
| There is one mistake that is made al
most universally in the west. This is
setting trees out too thinly. AS most
orchards are arranged, each tree is iso-
lated from it's fellows and must stand
alone. Were they put in closer, so close
in fact that the limbs will touch or even
interlock, it will take a cyclone to in
jure them. AS the wind cannot get a
chance at them, each tree is protected
from the hot rays of the sun by its foil
age; or even if lifted and blown to one
side the tree trunk will be shaded by its
neighbor.
Even with the best of protection it is
doubtful if trees will reach an advanced
age in the west in comparison with the
| east Rut there is no doubt that from
ten to 20 years can be added to trees
usefulness by proper protection.-Ne-
