CRAB ROOFS For APPLE TREES.

CRAB ROOTS FOR APPLE TREES.
The root killing of apple trees in Min
nesota, northern Iowa, Wisconsin and
the Dakotas is the cause of serious loss
to every man who attempts to grow
this fruit. 1t is well known that only
the most hardy types of the apple will
endure the climatic conditions of the
territory named, aud yet nearly all
trees planted are more than likely to
be grated upon tender roots, for the
reason that the apple seed from which
the root is developed is the product Of
tender varieties of apples grown down
east-apples which all know it would
be folly to attempt to grow in the west.
OF course certain percentage of these
grated trees take root from the cion
and become what is known as trees ON
their own roots, but many do not, and
so we have the horticultural malforma-
ton of hardy type of apple trying to
grow on root system utterly untitled
for the work. This fact leads us to
call attention to the evident wisdom Of
using the hardy and ironclad crabs as
grating stock to furnish the future
tree a root system which will endure
The worst climatic conditions. The at
ention of apple growers all over the
northwest is being directed to this mat
ter.

The above figures must be greatly en-
larged to meet the facts for 1900 and
1901 so far, at least, as the western
states are concerned. The report further
shows that the cost of the board Of the
western farm hand is about 81 per
month and of the southern or negro
hand $3.50 per month. 1t would seem
as if 81 per month was low price for
board where the hired man took three

had pie twice a day.

pers says that boiled milk with little
pepper is just as good for chickens as
it is for children. This may be all
right for the chickens. but our own
experience in raising children is that
the less pepper one gets into them the
better. Most American born kids have
too much pepper, ginger and hot stuff
in them on general principles.

be greatly limited by taking them when

working down. This method effectual-

At the beginning OF the new fiscal
year the pneumatic tubes which have
been employed in the postal service of
New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
Boston went out OF operation, and the
mail wagon has taken their place. This
looks like step backward. It is prob
ably only temporary. Congress seems
to have refused TO continue the ap-
preparation solely on account Of Its
unwillingness to foster private
monopoly. Doubtless pneumatic tube
service built and owned by the gov
eminent will yet be established and
maintained In all large cities, although
several ingenious rival contrivances
for doing the same work deserve con-
sideration before final decision is
