THE OSAGE ORANGE.

lieve it will pay to plant the Usage
orange for posts and telephone-poles.
1t has one fault, and that is. when il has
become seasoned one can scarcely drive
any sort of a nail into it. Its lasting
qualities when used as posts exceed
that of any wood | know of. 1t grows
quite rapidly. and should be pruned
about twice year to make good posts
or poles. 1t will pay those who have
Usage hedges to allow one plant about
every Is or 20 feet to grow up for posts
or poles. If they are kept properly
trimmed up they will not injure the
hedge any and will soon make good
posts. When cut they should be sawed
off close to the ground during the win
ter season; then thickct of shoots
will Sprout from the stump the follow
ing spring, and close the gap In half
a mile of hedge one can grow about all
the posts he will need. All that is need
ed to make straight poles or posts is
timely and careful pruning. ! have

diameter to outlast three white-oak
posts in succession. Barbed wires or
wovenwire fencing can be fastened to
these posts by means of short pieces of

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES,

Silage, and especially good corn
silage, when compared with dry corr
fodder or other feeding stuff, produces
results so satisfactory as to surprise
the chemist and which chemistry can
not explain.
a silo or two, well built, but not toe
large or too expensive, are convenient
and economical, on most farms, TO save
crops which at times might otherwise
be lost, if not to4reserve some crops
specially grown for silage.

more butter from certain amount OF
feed than common cow will and it is
certainly reasonable that the more
butter or milk secured from a given
amount of feed the better the oppor.

With butter as with other products
of the farm appearance is an important
factor. On this account with a good
quality of butter it will be found good

which to wrap the prints as rolls rather
than cloths. The paper now can be Sc.
cured so cheaply that all considered il

THREE PEACH GROWERS.
Which All of us Are More or
Less Familiar.

One of the fundamental laws of
education is. that we learn by eXpe-
rience. Theories are all right, but
practice is better. During my term
of IA years in the fruit business /
observed three different classes of
peach growers.
The first class are those who are
determined in their efforts. They are
wide awake, because they know it is
not the business that makes the man,
but that it is the man that makes the
business.
The second class are those who save
at the spigot and lose at the bung.
They set out their orchards and cul-
tivate very little and only visit their
orchards about the time they expect
to find ripe fruit on the trees. They
are good statesmen enough 20 sell any
thing from red beet up to straw
stack. They will by hard work man
age to hammer enough money out OF
the business to pay the cost of pro-
duction.
Then comes the third class. The
only way | can see for those to make
money in the peach business is to pre-
sent the nursery man with the money
and positively refuse to take the
trees. They would thus save the
time and labor in preparing the soil
and planting the trees, and not lose
the use of the ground. | believe in
growing first-class peaches, and in
having everything clean from the or
chard to the curbstone. If want to
do business, | must attend to my
business. / will follow peach culture
as long as | can keep the soil in a
condition to sponge water.
1t may not. however, be expected
that fruit will again bring the high
price any more than wheat, corn,
iron, etc. Nothing brings the high
price it once did. But what we want
is that our peach crop will sell for
enough money to allow us fair
proht. Of course, competition may
be sharp, as it is in all other classes
of business in the country.-J +.
Boyer, before Pennsylvania Horticul-
tural Society.

band of wagon tire directly over each
wheel, as shown in the accompanying
cut, which shows one end of the roll
er. 1t is a good plan to have at least
four of the scantlings bolted to rims
by small bolts, holes being drilled in
rims for this purpose. Make frame
of 2X4-inch material to set roller in,
fit tongue or shafts to front and at
tach an old moving machine seat to
rear piece of frame. The roller
should not be made too wide, unless
four wheels are used, and the roller
made in two sections. If made about
four feet wide it might make good
one-horse roller.-J. G. Allshouse, In
Ohio Farmer.

Correct Farming Always Pays.

There is a sort of picturesqueness
about women farmers which is inspir-
ing. a great many women to-day are
making farms pay handsomely, in
many cases they have been compelled
to make the most of their chances,
and as their chances were those af-
forded by few acres of land they
set about to do their work scientifical-
ly. A Nebraska woman has made a
magnificent success raising poultry;
a Kansas woman has achieved fame
and fortune raising swine; an Indiana
woman is widely known as a success
full dairywoman and breeder of Jersey
cattle; Pennsylvania girl has made
a fortune growing violets. So it goes.
Rural occupation affords recompense
for ali if correct principles be applied
in its administration. Farmers

to these handles and the tank can
be wheeled anywhere and tipped over
with great ease. The tank can be
used to carry skim milk to calves or
pigs, to remove kitchen slops to the

a sink drain) or for many other pur-
poses that will readily occur to any
one.-American Agriculturist.

Five hundred thousand deaths have been

Wars.
The most conspicuous wars in 1900 have
been those in China, South Africa ana
the operations attending the suppression
of t..e revolt in the Philippine islands

The lynchigs reported in 1899 were only
1O7, being much smaller than in any year
since 1855. but in 1900 they show an in

these lynchings, 1O7 occurred in the south
and in the north. OF the total number

Suicides.

Suicides in the United States are again

is 6.755, as compared with $40 in 1899.
There had been a decrease in the num-
ber since 1896, but the tide seems to have
turned again. OF this total 4,446 were
males and 2,309 females. Hitherto the
proportion has been nearly five to one in
favor of males. The figures for the year
would indicate that the number of fe-
males committing suicide is rapidly in
creasing. Among professional men ply
sicians still head the list, IS having taken
their lives, which is the same number as
last year and six less than in 1898 Dur

the actual experience Of a housekeep-

and practices which are trustworthy
not far from sea level are worthless
at Albuquerque, the altitude of which
is 4,933 feet. Water boils there at 202
degrees Fahrenheit, instead Of 212 de-
grees Fahrenheit; hence articles of
food the cooking of which depends
upon heat applied through the medi-
UNI of water require longer time for
cooking than is given in the cookery
books
On account Of the extreme dryness
of the atmosphere, farinaceous food,
such as beans, corn, etc, lose 50 much
of their moisture that they have to
be left for a long time in water be-
fore cooking in order to be softened,
but the worst difficulty is with cake
making. Ordinary recipes as to num-
Der of eggs and amount Of baking
