DR.. e. w. Allen, assistant director of
experimental stations in the agricul-
tural department at Washington, has
just returned from the west, after in
specting the various stations. One of
the most interesting matters to which
he devoted his attention was the col
lection of facts relating to cheesemak-
ing. The station at Wisconsin is TAX
ing the lead in this matter, and the
discoveries which have been made there
are at variance with those made in Eu-
rope-thnt the ripening of cheese is
due to bacteria. American experiments
demonstrate beyond doubt that the
principal change in the albuminoids
which takes place in the ripening proc
ess is dependent upon the fern enta-
ton in the milk itself and not upon
the bacteria.

ONE-YEAR-oLD TREES.
According to n Kansas HorticuItur-
list They Can Be Planted Safely
In Most Sections.

The injury and destruction to
nursery trees caused by the severity OF
last winter has made it necessary to
sell younger trees for year or two tc
come than are usually sold. Many who
wish to plant orchards are doubtful oi
the wisdom of planting apple and pear
trees less than two years old. While
there may be some objections to plant.
ing one-year-old trees there are several
points in their favor. In digging them
very few roots are cut, compared with
the older trees. The labor of setting is
less than with larger ones. There be.
ing no side branches the head can be
formed to any desired height and Oh
any style. There is less danger of get
ting San Jose scale or any other like
pest on small and young trees than on
large and old ones. The original cost
of one-year-olds is less than of Older
ones. They are small and light, and
therefore cheaply transported. The
objections are greater liability of in
| jury from careless persons in working
about them than if they were larger,
and later coming into bearing. There
may be others, but these are the two
that are commonly raised. The latter
one is disputed by some orchardists
they claiming that the younger trees
having more roots in proportion tc
their tops than large ones grow better
and within a few years are fully a,
large and bear as soon as the older
ones. This has come true in some cases
in my own experience, and l have sold
many thousands of one-year-old apple
trees to my Kansas neighbors and 9th
ers, many of which i have had oppor
tunity to observe until after bearing
age. They were very satisfactory wher
ever well cared for.-H. E. Van Deman
in Farm and Fireside.

HAULING A BIG LOAD.

feet wide and about nine inches thick,
is constructed. Usually in the center,
though in places on one side of the
road, an excavation from four to six
inches deep is made in the earth's sur
face, and the bottom is then carefully
rolled with a steam roller. Upon this ex-
cavated surface is placed layer of field
stone about four inches thick, and this
is then thoroughly rolled. Upon this
surface is placed three-inch layer of
stone crushed to from one to two inches
in size, and after this has been thorough
ly rolled there is placed third layer,
about two inches thick, of finely
crushed stone, including screenings,
and this latter is in turn thoroughly
rolled. The average cost of these roads,
including grading and macadamizing,
is about $4,000 per mile.-Farmers' Re-
view.

PLANTING CHESTNUTS.

of Failures.

Three years ago l came into posses.
sion of practically an abandoned farm,
150 acres in chestnut and pine and 10G
in Gllage, with many hillsides and
places which could not be cultivated.
l wished to get trees growing on these
places; how TO make them grow from
the seed I did not know, nor could ]
find anyone who did! so 1 went to
work planting chestnuts in different
ways, to see which would succeed,

saw that one man was working at a
disadvantage, so calling man, did
the lifting of the turf and he threw
the chestnuts. The result was that
every chestnut grew, and they are now
two feet high. l then plowed a half
acre, dropped a chestnut every two
steps and stepped upon it. Not one
of the chestnuts grew. plowed fur.

dropped chestnut every four feet or
the edge of furrow, and back-furrowed
against this. Not 20 trees started or

Proper Rond maintenance.

Even with so many miles of improved
roads being built in different states,
there is not yet sufficient attention paid
to the subject of maintenance. Moth.
ing remains long without change, and
highways are no exception. When com.
pleted and brought into perfect shape
they reach their maximum condition Of
efficiency, but they do not retain it long
unless they are constantly watched and
cared for. The results obtained re.
semble what would occur if Il railway
company should neglect its roadbed
and discharge its trackwalkers and in
spectors. In France the national roads
are cared for on just the same system
that railroads use to keep their road
beds in order, and the result is that the
French roads are the finest in the
world.

FARMERS DAUGHTERS.
They Should Learn How to Milk a
Cow and How to Harness and
Drive n Horse

The girls on a farm should learn to
milk as well as the boys, even If they
are not expected to take full charge of
such work. In many countries milking
is thought to be essentially woman's
work, not only because it requires little
physical strength when one is accus-
toned to it, but because they generally
are quieter, and do not get angry with
the COW, and because they are naturally
neater and the milk is cleaner. We be-
lieve the farmers daughter should know
how to milk and to harness and drive
horse. Occasions frequently come, per-
haps in cases of an accident, when il is
very important that woman should
ride or drive horse perhaps to the vii
lage for a physician, and to find them
ignorant and helpless at such a time
may cause the loss of life, and life
long regret to them and to others. We
know on many farms their education
goes much farther than this, and that
many girls and young women can drive
the team and manage the moving ma
chine, horse rake, seed drill, or other
machinery on the farm as well as their
brothers, if they have any, and we know
no good reason why they should not do
so, as well as ride a bicycle, if they will
learn, though we do not care to adv;~
cate the regular employment of wonen
in farm labor. But we have saeA a
woman, New England born ano bred,
who could handle the scythe and pitch
fork in the bayfield, or the plow and
hoe in cultivated fields, better than
most men and do it all day, too. Yet
she was as capable of doing good work
in the house or dairy room as she was
out of doors. We knew German in
western New York whose "boys were
all girls" as he said. There were some
half dozen of them, well educated, grad
yates OF high school in a neighboring
city, accomplished musicians, refined
and ladylike, and yet any one of them
could go into the harvest field and do
n days work that would compare in
amount or neatness with the best OF
farmhands. And they were also skilled
in housework and dairy work.-Ameri-

QUALITY AND NEWS.
Fame and Excellence Arc Determine
ing Factors in Successful Develop
ment-one of the Important Func-
tions of High-Class Newspapers.

ttOns OF HtEh-ClRBB Newspapers.
In presenting interesting phases of
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give in
formation of as great value in their adj
vertising columns as in those devoted
to the publication of the principal
events of the day; and when the fame of
aproduct is extended beyond its natural
limits into foreign lands, and large de-
mand created throughout Great Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
ports and cities of Europe, Asia and Af-
rica, it becomes pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points of eN-
cellence on which so great success is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs,
the product of the California Fig Syrup
Company. The merits of this we'll
known excellent laxative were first
made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers of
the United States; and is one of the dis
tinct achievements of the press. 1t is
now we'll known that Syrup of Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, ap-
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and ef-
fective, yet pleasant to the taste and ac-
ceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but also
wholly free from any unpleasant after
effects. 1t is frequently referred to as
the remedy of the healthy, because it is
used by people who enjoy good health
and who live well and feel well and are
well informed on all subjects generally,
including laxatives. In order to get its
beneficial effects, it is necessary to get
the genuine Syrup of Figs, which is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.
