COLD STORAGE PAYS.
In Present Conditions City Merchants
Reap a Big Profit Which Fruit
Growers Should Save.

The fruit farm is the proper place for
the cold storage of fruit. This is ac-
knowledged now by the best authori-
ties on cold storage. The reason for
this is that the fruit must of necessity
be injured and wasted in handling be-
fore it reaches the cold storage in the
cities. In order to keep fruits for a
long time in cold storage they must be
raised and packed especially for this.
Dealers who receive surplus of fruit
in hot weather send part of it in cold
storage for few days to prevent it's
rotting on their hands, but this is very
different from the cold storage of fruits
for long period until all of the other
fruit is off the market. Thus grapes,
pears, apples and similar fruits are
put away in cold storage until long
past middle winter. Then they are
brought out and sold for fancy prices.
The loss which the dealers suffer in
handling this fruit is due to the de-
terioration of the fruits while in transit
to the city. In the great lake grape dis
tricts in western New York the grow
ers have their own cold storage, and
they have found that the grapes picked
from the vines and carried direct to the
cold storage house keep much better
and longer than any put in cold storage
in the cities. These grapes can be mar
keted in the middle of winter without
much loss from waste.
The possibilities of cold storage on
the farm will be appreciated hy an
other generation, and every large fruit
farm will have its cold storage house.
The ordinary ice house is used ON some
farms where ice can be easily obtained
in the winter season. But the farmer
situated inland from any body of fresh
water is not rendered helpless. The
ammonia and dry air process of freez-
ing and making cold storage is even
cheaper than using ice. 1t costs more
at the beginning to start an ammonia
cold-storage plant, but after it has
once been erected the cost of main
The dry cold air that comes from one
of these cold-storage plants is better
for the fruits than the damp air that
prevails in an icehouse. The construc-
ton of such cold-storage house by a
number of farmers in one locality
would prove a feasible plan, and in the
end the cooperative work would pay.
The lack of coldstorage facilities has
caused thousands of dollars worth Of
loss on nearly every fruit farm of any
size in the country. Not only would
such a storage place be of inestimable
value in keeping the fruits few weeks
to take advantage of the markets, but
it would serve as place to keep GER
tain fruits for out of season markets
when prices always rule high. At pres
emit the merchants in the cities reap all
this profits. W. Chambers, in Ameri-
can Cultivator.

HORTICULTURAL TWIGS.

Fruit production is heavy draft on
the vitality of the plant unless the plant
be strong and well maturcd.
Arrange good drainage in the or
chard. Water standing in the orchard
Injuries many trees. Drain so as to
avoid washing.
Manuring may be overdone with
young and growing trees, but after the
tree comes into bearing it requires
much rich food.
With large number of diseases of
fruits and trees preventive measures
are much the more effective. 1t is hard
to cure sick tree.
The best budded peach tree for plant
ing has two-year-old top. Little, if
anything, can be gained for early bear.
ing by planting older trees.
No plant nor tree is fit for setting out
unless it has made normal, healthy
growth in the seed bed or nursery.
Neither extreme is desirable.
1t is claimed that grapes on clayey
soil are darker and more glossy than
those on gravely soil, but those grown
on gravely soil are the sweetest.
Generally slow growing grape vines
like the Delaware should not be cut
back. 1t will suffice to rub off some
of the buds. when just starting. But
vigorous growers should have the ends
of the runners pinched off.--St. Louis

fore it is well to irrigate transplanted
trees.
In. watering plants of any kind a
large proportion of the moisture ap-
piled is lost by evaporation. A very
simple method for sub-irrigation of
trees is shown in the cut. Take four
pieces of eight or ten-inch board, two
feet long, and nail them together into
a simple, four-sided box without ends.
Set this in the ground at the base of
the tree and let the top project above
ground three or four inches. Throw
some coarse grass or trash into the bot
tom of the box, and a pailful of water
can occasionally be poured into the
box and allowed to soak into the earth
gradually. In this way no water will
be wasted and the surface soil can be
kept finely pulverized and conserve the
moisture down at the roots. This meth
cd of watering is especially practicable
for transplanted trees, because their
roots are all in a small compass and
have not yet spread out the height of
the tree, as will be the case later. A
large tile forms an ideal box of this
kind. Soapsuds or waste water of any
kind can be used to good advantage in
this manner.-Guy E. Mitchell, in
Epitomist.

their friends, who are going to attend the
33rd G. A. r. Annual Encampment at Phila-
delphia in September, could not select bet
ter nor more historic route than the Big
Four, Chesapeake & Ohio, with splendid
service from Chicago, Peoria and st. Louis
on the Big Four, all connecting at Indian
apolis or Cincinnati and thence over the
Picturesque Chesapeake & Ohio along the
Ohio river to Huntington, West Va, thence
through the foothills of the Alleghanies,
over the Mountains, through the famous
Springs Region of Virginia to Stanton,
Va, between which point and Washington
are many of the most prominent Battle
fields: Waynesboro, Gordonsville, Cedar
Mountain, Rappahannock, Kettle Run,
Manassas, Bull Run, Fairfax, and score of
others nearly as prominent. Washington is
next, and thence via the Pennsylvania Line
direct to Philadelphia. There will be three

THE CHERRY TREE.
| 1t Needs But Little Pruning, But Re-
euires Heavy Doses of Min
| eraI Fertilizers.

When cherry tree gets into full
bearing and is regularly picked each
year, enough twigs are broken off dur
ing the harvesting of the crop to prune
the trees sufficiently. But if the tree
grows on low, wet ground it often
runs too much to wood, the fruit either
does not set or rots, because it is too
much shaded by leaves, which are
caused by too luxuriant growth. In
such cases severe root pruning and cut
ting out the center limbs while in leaf
will sufficiently check growth, so much
that the tree will both blossom fully
and will also bear fruit. After the
cherry tree begins bearing, the wastage
of twigs broken off in harvesting the
crop checks wood growth sufficiently
to make the tree bear full crops there
after. But it must be remembered that
so much of the cherry is in the stone,
which requires heavy doses of potash
to perfect it, that if the cherry tree is
not literally supplied with potash and
other mineral fertilizers it will soon
begin to die. The cherry tree never
fails to bloom and set fruit so long
as any part of it lives. 1t prunes itself
by letting enough of its limbs die so
that what remain can produce as much
and as fine fruit as they ever did. Most
Of the larger fruit trees stop bear
ing as they grow old. The cherry tree
keeps on bearing so long as any part
of it is alive.-American Cultivator.

sprayinr md It's Effects.

The fact is not generally understood
that it requires two or three seasons
growth of healthy foliage on fruit trees
to insure fruit production. The first
year, though the spraying has pre-
vented fungous attacks, both the tree
ard it's foliage lack the vigor which
trees in health should have. 1t is like
ly that injury to the foliage lessons the
vigor of the tree roots so that they
will not send up the amount of sap re-
qpired for trees in full vigor of leaf.
This keeps the trees in an unthrifty
condition for some years after the
healthfulness Of the foliage has been
restored. American Cultivator.

WATERING TREES.
A System of Sub-Irrigation Which Is
Very Simple But Effective in
Every Instance.

In transplanting trees, success de-
ponds largely upon the water supply.
Most trees do the major part of their
growing in the springtime. After the
middle of summer practically all wood
growth ceases, and the balance of the
year is devoted to hardening up the
wood to Withstand the cold of winter,
SO that the wood growth of trees de
ponds largely upon the kind of spring
and June weather encountered. If the
spring is backward one, and May or
June drought ensues, even though
slight, no matter how splendid the
growing weather of the latter part of
summer and fall may be, the wood
growth of trees will be light. There

CLASH ON
Between Federal Authorities and San
Francisco Board of Health

San Francisco, Cal, June 30.-There Is a
clash between the federal authorities and
the board of health over the Nippon Maru
affair. The federal authorities have re-
ceived instructions from Washington to
release the vessel from quarantine, but the
board of health has gone into the matter
more deeply and has stationed a squad of
police around the steamer to prevent any
one from leaving the suspected vessel.
DR.. Barbata, the bacteriologist, has pro-
pagated the baccili found on the bodies of
the two Japanese who tried to escape from
the Maru. and is convinced that the baccili
is that of the bubonic plague, but will go
further into his examination and will innoc-
ulate a pig or some other animal with the
germs to finally determine the question.
In the meantime, the steamship company
will apply for an injunction permitting the
cargo of the vessel to be removed. The
cargo has been thoroughly fumigated
throughout. The passengers who arrived
ON the ship are still detained at Angel Is
land quarantine station.
