the question CT what to do with small
and unstable fruit.
Luther Burbank. the man that has
made himself world-famous BY the
many hybrid plants he has produced,
is reported now to have produced a
seedless prune. The result was OBJ
tanned by crossing a French prune
with a plum; what variety we do not
know. The new product has a seed
but It is small and edible. This viii
make 1t possible to dry prunes with
out extracting the stones. A few
years ago such a result would have
been regarded as impossible. but since
the production Of the seedless orange,
the seedless grape and a few other
seedless fruits now known CONNER
cially. no one wonders At the reports
Of the same thing being done with
plums and prunes
It may be that Australia and New
Zealand viii become strong shippers
OF fruit TO the European markets. II
Is largely a question Of how long fruit
can be kept sound. and the Australians
are constantly hunting for new meth
DDS Of preserving fruits for transit.
II they can find some method that viii
keep fruit perfect for seven weeks
they have a good chance Of getting a
strong hold on the markets desired.
They can then ship fruit in the latter
part OF our winter and have II reach
market IN early spring This would
give a supply OF fruit to England and
the Continental countries after their
own fruit had disappeared. That the
Australians are likely to succeed is
evidenced by some experiments carried
on recently BY the government Of Vic
toria. Pears and peaches we're boxed
for shipment and then exposed for q
certain time 10 the effects OF hydro
cyanic acid gas After that they wers
put away and kept seven weeks to
represent shipment. When taken out
Of their boxes at the end Of that time
both the peaches and pears were found
to be 10 a perfect state Of preservation.
We do not know the details Of the ex-
pertinent OF what the effect was on
the eating quality Of the fruit SO fer
as we are able TO learn the trial was
successful and we are likely to hear
more Of II at some future time How.
ever. II It does prove a success We are
not forgetful Of the fact that hydro
cyanic acid gas can bo used BY other
people than the Australians.

The use Of commercial fertilizers
was unknown before the year 1870. ex-
cept p,rhaps By individual expert
menters whose observations were
never reported to the public. In that
year the famous German chemist,
Baron Won Liebig. published his book
on agricultural chemistry. Four cardi-
nal principles were set forth BY him:
/. A soil is fertile only when It con-
tains all the materials necessary for
the nutrition OF plants, and those ma
terials must be IN proper quantity and
IN an available form. 2 All crops re-
move some Of this fertility. a part Of
which Is replaced BY nature, and a
part must be replaced By man, n re-
placed at ali. g The fertility OF land
can be retained only by returning to
the land an the fertility that Is re-
moved from Il. 4 The amount of fer
tility restored to the farm BY ordinary
husbandry Is not suficient to keep up
the fertility. When Iiebig wrote
there were many soil problems un-
solved that are now understood. but
IN the main his propositions hold good
The removal OF nitrogen. phosphoric
acid and potash impoverishos soils.
and by bad systems OF farming and no
attention to scientific rotations this
process is accelerated. The farming
has been So badly conducted on much
81 our lands that there IS no possl-
5iilty Of bringing them back to their
original condition IN a reasonable time
except by resort TO what are termed
commercial fertilizers.

How thick should seeds be sowng
Professor Bailey says regarding some
seeds. Seeds that germinate very
slowly. as parsnips and celery. should
be soun thick il order that the com

On the question OF whether II Is bet-
ter to plant fruit trees in fall or spring
Professor +. A. Waugh Of the Vermont
Experiment station says that one time
is just as good as the other providing
the soil is In good condition and the
trees are all right. There are some
advantages to setting trees In the fall,
the principal one being that there Is
commonly more time for It at that sea-
son. There Is always a rush OF work
in the spring, but at this time OF the
year farm operations are less pressing.
Sometimes also the trees can be had
in better condition IN the fall Usual
ly prices are slightly lower for nursery
stock Furthermore when fall plant
ing is really successful the trees are apt
to do better than when spring planted.
They become established 20 some ex-
tent during the winter and are all
ready to start with the first growing
weather in spring The chief require
ment for fall planting is good soil In .
state OF high cultivation. Raw, lumpy,
soddy soil will not answer. Positions In
which water stands viii not do for fall
planting. In fact. trees should never
be set in such places. Where the soil
is not light and well drained 1t is liable
to freeze and heave. thus doing much
injury 70 young trees. But II the soil
is right. and the trees are right. and
the man is ready to plant, fall setting
OF fruit trees Is nearly always advis-
able.

The above IS the opinion OF Profess
or Waugh. But the Farmers Review
wishes to call the attention OF its read
ers TO the fact that Western conditions
are not entirely similar TO those Of
Vermont The Horticultural societies
Of the West have quite generally de-
clared against fan planting OF fruit
trees. The Illinois Horticultural So
ciety declares against fall planting
north Of Springfield. but believes It Is
safe to fall plant in the southern half
OF the state.-F Farmers Review.

is THE sCHOOLMASTER ABROAD?

| is THE SCHOOLMASTER ABROAD?
We compiled the other day
some impressive if not exactly
cheerful figures from the just
published census bulletin, showing a
| storm center of iliteracy in Vermo Mt.
The details are perhaps even more
striking.
1t should be promised that the fig
ures include only male residents of
Vermont 81 years old and upward,
and that ''illiterate" means those who
can neither read nor write, and also
those who can read but not write.
The figures of the counties which we
are about to quote refer only to native
born white males, as above.
According to the census, our neigh
boring county of Franklin leads the
state in illiJeracy. 1t has 8846 males
and of these 643 are 1lliterate, or one
out of every IA. Grand Isle comes
next, with one illiterate man out of
every Is, and our own county of Chit
tenden third with one in every Is 12.
Does it seem possible that out of ev-
cry Is or II native born men in this
good city of Burlington one is litter
ate? Then follow Addison county,
where the percentage of illiteracy is
one in 20; Bennington, %; Orleans, %;
Essex "a; Lamoille IS; Rutland, 81;
Orange, So; Windsor, 55; Washington,
so; Windham, 81; Caledonia, 70-good
old Caledonia thus ranking as the best
educated county of the state, within
the limitations mentioned.
All told, of the los, 1856 grown-up
men in Vermont 8543 are illiterate.
OF the SO, 7O2 native-born men, 1878
are illiterate, or about one in every
%.
OF the 20, s91 foreign born men 1871
are illiterate, or nearly one in every
four.
The proportion of illiteracy will of
course be largely increased when the
figures relating to our female popula-
ton are tabulated-
Though it is bad enough as it is.
Where does the fault lie? With our
educational system, our people, the
conditions of life, or what?-Burling-

Advice on Book-Borrow ing.

One need have no delicacy in ask
ing a person to return a borrowed
book. Books are property, and when
borrowed they should be carefully
protected from injury and promptly
returned to their owners. / doubt
the propIiety of borrowing book if
one is near lending library. We do
ture, and why should we make an ex-
ception of books? think the owner
of set should hesitate to let single
volume go out of her possession.
Either make loan of the entire set,
or give your friend permission TO con-
suit it in your homs-Lddies' Home
Journal.

Cincinnati o., March 16.--Richard
Burke, who stole a typewriter and q
bicycle from the Alpine Safe company,
In January, has written a letter to
Judge Lueders in which he admits that
he is guilty of grand larceny but not
of petit larceny.
He asked that his honor give him
three years in the workhouse under
the habitual criminal act. claiming that
he is not thief and that he had always
worked up to the Saturday before his
arrest. He claims that drink was the
cause of his downfall and believes that
three years in the workhouse will make
a man of him. He was arraigned be-
fore Judge Lueders in police court
and sentenced to thirty days, $500 and
costs on each of the two separate
charges. which will keep him there
about as long as he asked.
