sell younger TIRE e1r q swo to
come than are usu. U my who
wish to plant orchal> oubtful of
the wisdom of planting pie 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 of
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 to
their tops than large ones grow better
and within few years are fully as
large and bear as soon as the older
ones. This has come true in some cases
in my own experience, and 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,

PLANTING CHESTNUTS.
How an Eastern HOrticulturist OBJ
tanned Success After a Number
of Failures.

Three years ago came into posses
sion of practically an abandoned farm,
$50 acres in chestnut and pine and 100
in tillage, with many hillsides and
places which could not be cultivated.
1 wished to get trees growing on these
places; how to make them grow from
the seed 1 did not know, nor could 1
find anyone who did! so I went to
work planting chestnuts in different
ways, to see which would succeed,
writes contributor to Country Gen
tleman.
I first took six-tined fork, forced
it into the turf two inches deep and
say four inches forward, threw chest
nut under and drew out my fork.
saw that one man was working at a
disadvantage, SO calling a 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. I then plowed half
acre, dropped a chestnut every two
steps and stepped upon it. Not one
of the chestnuts grew. Iplowed a fur
row on another piece, every four feet,
dropped chestnut every four feet on
the edge of furrow, and back-furrowed
against this. Not 20 trees started on
the whole piece; those which did
start were where they were covered
lightly and natures conditions were
complied with. It is so simple and
quick to plant seed with man and
fork, that 1 shall do more of it in the
future.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

With nearly all kinds of tree fruits,
the best time to sort is when the fruit
is harvested.
Plums do not thrive well in sod. If
the best results are secured, thorough
cultivation must be given from the
start.
Whenever trees are received from
the nursery they should be heeled in
by the roots until they are wanted for
planting.
How large the small-fruit plat should
be depends upon the size of the fam
lily. For full supply an acre will not
be too much.
A good dressing of wood ashes can
be applied to strawberries at this time
with benefit. They may be applied on
the surface.
Lice on trees may be killed by dissolv-
ing pound of potash in a gallon of wa
ter and applying on the affected parts
with brush.
One pint of linseed oil, four pounds
of rosin and one pound of beeswaX,
melted well together, make a good
grating wax.
When weeds or grass are allowed to
grow with the vines they rob them of
the plant food that rightfully belongs
to the plants.
Plant raspberries in rows five feet
apart and three feet apart in the row;
blackberries in rows eight feet apart
and three feet apart in the row.-St.
Louis Republic.

QUALITY AND NEWS.
Fame and Excellence Are Determine
ing Factors in Successful Develop
ment-One of the Important Func-
lions of High-CIass Newspapers.

ttOnS OF H1Sn-Class 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
product is extended beyond its natural
limits into foreign lands. and a large de-
mand created throughout Great Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
ports and cities of Europe, Asia and At
RIGA, it becomes pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points of ex-
cellence on which so great a 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 well known that Syrup of Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, ap-
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and eff
fective, yet pleasant to the taste and ac-
ceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in it's 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.

Wood Ashes for Apple Trees.

that the foliage was greatly improved
in sections of orchards treated with
wood ashes, and that the trees were
freer from disease. The color of the
fruit was also improved in some sea-
sons and with some varieties, but dur
ing the seasons which favored the per-
feet development of the fruit the color
was not heightened. Apparently the
use of ashes has tendency to hasten
the perfect development of the fruit.
Some seasons this ripening process was
carried so far where ashes were used
that the apples did not keep as well as
on portions untreated. = Prairie

A Boys Dewey Souvenir,

Souvenirs of Dewey are to be had on every
hand, if not for the mere asking, at least
Tor the paying. But they are cold -hearted
souvenirs, that have no intimate connection
with the life of the great admiral. If one
might get as memento something that had
been his own, that would be different mat
ter. A certain small boy has keen appre-
citation of that fact. He feels that he has
been more highly favored than the average
mortal, for has he not even penetrated the
hero of Manila face to face? He was taken
aboard ship by his father. After his return
home the family observed that the little fell
low was going about carrying his hand care
fully, bound up. in handkerchief. "Have
you hurt your hand?" they asked.
Hurt my hand? MOI" in disgust Then
IN great dignity: "That is the hand that
Dewey shook".N. Y. Sun.

WastefuIness Is a Crime.

One of the important things about
good farming that most of us have to
learn is to avoid waste. We pay taxes
on land that we do not farm; we only
half cultivate our fields and so waste
both land and labor; we leave a large
percentage of the crop in the field; we
waste time and capital in raising in
ferior animals; we waste energy in
trying to do more than one man can do
right; we waste money in buying what
we should raise ourselves; we waste
opportunities to improve our condi-
ton by staying away from Institutes
and fairs and by neglecting to read
papers; we waste = in thousand ways,
and then we are ready to say farming
don't pay" And it is no wonder

Black seedles. Grape wanted.

Will some one develop black seed
less grape? We have white seedless
grapes, but suitable only to the climate
of California, and now we want a good
black grape without seeds. Such a
grape would sell at a fancy price on
the market. The fear of appendicitis
causes many people to take out the
seeds when eating grapes, and this
greatly detracts from the pleasure of
grape eating. A grape of the charac-
ter described would bring good deal
more than the common grape.-Farm-
ers' Review.

EARLY Frosts XIII Insects.

Early and late frosts are disliked by
farmers, but such frosts do more harm
to insects than the severe cold of win
ter, as they catch many insects out of
ground or just below the surface. 1t has
been noticed that when the winters are
severely cold, and the ground remains
frozen until well into spring, insects
are more numerous the following sum-
mer than when the winters are mild.
1t is the alternate freezing and thawing
that does the damage to insects, es-
pecially when there is a warm rain
followed by sudden freezing of the
ground below the surface.

very material additions to the telegraph
service. During the past year nearly 1000
miles of copper wire, l66 pounds to the mile,
have been strung. New lines have been
placed in service between Baltimore and
Pittsburg, Baltimore and Parkersburg, New
ark, o., to Chicago, Philadelphia to Newark,
land to Grafton. During the summer sew
eral of these wires were quadrupleXed be-
tween Baltimore and Cumberland and du-
picked west.
Like all new Baltimore & Ohio work, the
lines are constructed in the best possible
manner.
