Watch the Borer.

The borers will destroy not less
than one-tenth of all apple trees
planted if not looked after at the
proper time. Right now, and all
through the growing season, watch
the base of the trunk of all apple
trees less than seven years set and
IL you note a little pile of sawdust
on the ground close to the tree n
porer is at work. Take your knife
and dig him out. If you cannot reach
him with the knife. take piece of
wire and mash him in his hole. There
Is no one thing of more Importance
IN the care of an orchard than
watching for the borer.

DUNs REVIEW OF TRADE
fith OF What the Commercial Agency Says
of the Business Situation.

OF the Business Situation.
New York, June S.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade today
says: The labor situation in MANY
parts of the country is still seriously
unsettled and constitutes a reason for
hesitation in some industries. But
quick decision is to be expected in
some of these labor controversies. and
IN the meantime trade is encouraged
by reports of Il satisfactory condition
oil winter wheat over a large portion
OF the country. AS for spring wheat
the crop was put in under favorable
conditions, and there have been few
unsatisfactory reports. Railroad earn
lngs for May were SO per cent. in ex-
cess OF 1900, and k3.2 per cent. over
1899, rejecting a continued activity in
the country.
The cessation of manipulation in
corn contributed to decline of 81 per
cent. in breadstuffs. Pig iron is ex-
tremely dull, not sale of Bessemer
being reported during the week at
F1ttsburg, and quotations are nominal.
Large contracts for rails sustain bill
lets, and finished steel deliveries con-
tinue heavy. Abundant production of
grain in the United States does not
necessarily mean weak prices, for Eu-
ropean crops are falling below expecta-
tions.

Long and BIoodless Duel.

Paris, June S.-A duel with swords

with no results the encounter was add
Journed for the day. Regis challenged
Laberdesque in consequence of an ar

Orchards for South Dakota.

A reader of these notes writes In
| quiring how he shall go to work r.
set out large commercial orchard
In the vicinity of Sioux Falls. South
Dakota. He also wants to know
whether soil and climatic conditions
there are such as to warrant such
an undertaking. What follows in the
way OF reply is predicated upon
two assumptions-one, that the soil
there is not the loess soil of the Mis-.
souri, valley, but instead the ordinary
loan soil of the Dakota prairies.
the other, that the average rainfall
OF that portion of Dakota does not
exceed % inches per annum. In as.
Stunning these two facts, we NAV he
in error, though we understand the
facts to be as stated. A large variety
OF frult may be successfully grown
upon the loess soil referred to. which
In the same latitude upon the av.
erage prairie soils would be failures
Why this is so we do not know: the
fact remains that it is so, neverthe.
less. We should regard an average
rainfall of only % inches as yerv
serious drawback to successful or.
charding and for that matter the
growing of any sort of trees. It is
not water enough to insure the heal.
thy growth and development of the
tree. y Still, this difficulty NAV be
to some extent overcome by thor.
ough cultivation, mulching and the
use of all means which may serve TO
conserve the moisture. The apple
loves cool, moist climate, and these
conditions are not normal in South
Dakota during the growing season
An orchard set in that locality should
by all means have timber belt pro-
lection on the south and west sides
to modify the action of the hot winds
and we would plant trees in north
and south rows, near enough togeth. |
er so that their branches would in. |
terlock when they were ten years
old. We would be sure and have a
good cover crop over the whole oil
the orchard for the winter. AS TO |
varieties-Duchess, Wealthy, Melinda.
Hibernal, No. 20, Yellow Transpar.
ent, Patterns and Northwestern
Greening, Wolf River, Longfield and
many of the hardy Russian varieties
should be hardy enough for the lat.
itude referred to. But mistake car
be very easily made by plating toe
great variety. Commercial orchards
should be limited to not more than
three or four varieties of those sort,
which experience has shown to be
best adapted to the locality where
the orchard is to be planted. Giver
the same care as TO conservation oil
moisture and protection, any of the
Americana plums should do well ir
that locality. Answering the query
as whole, we should say that com
mercial orcharding would be far
more risky undertaking there thar
In the southern or eastern half oil !
Iowa, which is to some extent offset
by the excellent market so close ~
hand. While there will be the com
mon enemies of the orchard to lool
bat for-borers, blight, sunscald, etc.
there will in addition be the TIVE
things referred to--hot winds and !
ack OF rainfall to be guarded against )

1t takes more skill TO make gooa
cheese than it does to make good but
ter. Butter making is reduced to a
science, while cheese making is still
largely done by guess. The pi incipal
trouble lies in the curing of the
cheese, most of it being cured in too
high temperature. The fancy and
high priced foreign made cheese is
made of no better material than
forms the base of our American
cheese, In fact some of the best
brands of foreign cheese are made
from partially skinned milk, and
foreign success lies almost wholly
in the matter of skilled and scientific
curing of the product.

Beers Are Badly Routed.

Pretoria, June 7.-Colonel Wilson
with 24O of kitchener's scouts, has
surprised and routed 400 Beers be-
longing to Beyer's command, thirty
four miles west of Warm Baths. The
Beers resisted stubbornly, but finally
broke and fled, leaving thirty
dead and 100 prisoners and all their
wagons and supplies, including 5000
cattle in the hands of the British. The
loss of the latter was three men killed
and fifteen wounded. Bayer's main
command arrived on the scene soon
after the engagement but failed in an
attempt to recapture the supplies.
Boyer was thus left, practically, with
out any transport or supplies.
