Heredlty.

OF course the theory of heredity does
not account for the fact that one horse
sells for $4,000 and another for $40.
says the American Sportsman" But
where heredity has a potent voice in
the market it is because the $40. 900
horse has chance to produce another
100000 product; while the 500 horse Is
not worth reproducing. And while the
$4,000 horse may not fully reproduce
his own qualities, speed and achieve
ments, he is liable, at some happy mo-
ment in his prspotency to produce
horse approximating himself. In other
words, under natures universal law,
that pervades both the vegetable and
animal kingdoms, like produces like
not just alike, but often better and
sometimes worse. A Canadian student
of Darwin recently made the expert
ment Of crossing English fox hounds
with Esquimaux dogs. AS these polar
halt-wolves are much the longest bred,
unt'er the theory of heredity the off,
spring would more largely partake of

ing their products to Spanish markets.
which they have now lost without re-
eeiving any compensatlng advantage
from their connection with this coun-
try. The result has been great pov-
erty and distress. II the products of
Puerto Rico were to be admitted to
our great markets free of duty, It
would please the islanders. but dis
please many OF the tobacco and the
sugar-raisers who are afraid of this
competition. In these circumstances
the proposal has been made in Con-
gress to levy upon Puerto Rico goods
one-half Of the regular rates of duty.
Whether Congress has a right to levy
upon them any duty is much disputed
constitutional question.

In protecting trees from rodents
one should use exceeding care. Many
things are recommended that have
been tried by n fex people and found
successful. but have been tried by
o;hcrs and found destructive One Is
impressed with this fac; at -vcry hor-
tieui,araI convention attended when
the question OF tree protection Is
brought up. Some OF the oil washes
and ,ars are deadly TO trees at eer-
tain ages and under certain conditions.
The conditions and ages vary so
greatly tha; the fact that = wash has
proved harmless on one tree 10 not an
indication that Il will prove equally
harmless on another tree. II IL better

something wound around Il than to
paint II with anything.

OF the fact that the name and the fruit
do not tit One would naturally think,
on seeing the names Of two standard
fruits connected by a nyphen that the
new fruit must be n cross between the
two named. but such is not necessarily
the case. In Missouri a good many
fruitmen are growing the same va
riety OF fruit under different names.
One nurseryman went to one county
and found a tree growing and gave 1t
certain name. Another nurseryman
went to another county and found the
same fruit and gave It another name.
Each secured wood for propagating
and advertised novelty. The prac-
tice amounts to fraud on the public.
for the nurserymen could find out the
truth of the matter II they cared to
do so.

Planting shade Tree. In oli.nom..


A bulletin Of the Oklahoma Expert
ment Station says: Those who failed
to set out shade trees during the fall
should prepare now to do SO in the
spring. At the Oklahoma Experiment,
Station, in one experiment on a hard
soil. the following method resulted
successfully: Holes three feet in d.
ameter and three feet deep were dug in
the early winter and allowed to remain
open SO that the soil could weather and
become porous. In February, three
forkfuls OF well-rotted manure were
put in the bottom OF the holes and on
top OF this two shovelfuls OF leached
ashes. This was then covered with
surface soil and the holes filled up to
within about foot of the top. This
was then allowed to settle and become
firm before the trees were set. The
trees were set out in March and the
soil within three feet OF the trees was
hoed after every rain during the sum-
mer. Naples and locusts were planted
and they made vigorous and rapid
growth. While this method is per-
haps too expensive to be used for ex-
>ensive paintings, 1t is recommended
for use in towns and about the house
and lawn. Whatever method Of plant
ing is followed, little success will fol-
low unless the soil is thoroughly cul-
tivated and the surface kept free from
grass and weeds.

While the advice to pasture the
orchard with hogs or sheep may be all
right as theory. 1t is seldom prac-
ticable. Especially in the case OF the
family orchard is 1t impracticable.
The fences are generally of a character
not suited to hold sheep and hogs, and
very often the orchard merges into
the home grounds in such a way that
there is no dividing line. The family
orchard is thing of beauty and 1t is
not desirable to have the ground torn
up by hogs Often The cost of fencing
would be greater than the good OBJ
tanned. 1t may pay to pasture large,
well-fenced commercial orchards, but
as a general proposition we doubt If 1t
should be entertained.
