The Heritage.

Burton Egbert Stevenson, author Of "a
Soldier of Virginia" names his new novel
THE Heritage" The story deals principal
~ with the Randolphs. the Harrisons and
the Stewards Of Virginia, near and after
the close of the revolutionary war. 1t al
ludes briefly to the attack upon Virginia
made by Benedict Arnold. 1t recounts the
homecoming of the veterans of the revolu-
ton and the deprivations they endured
owing to the mortgaged condition of the
farms of which they were deprived by levy
and execution, the agents of the foreign
mortgages bidding them in for the amount
OF the debt, often less than one-third the
true value. In their homeless situation
the younger members of the families are
turned to the country north of the Ohio
river, country where the soldiers have
received from Congress immense grants
OF land, the heritage" which has given
the title to the story. Through British in
nuence the savages are armed and melted
to attack all those who, under these
grants, attempt to settle upon the lands.
Many bloody battles are fought and many
prave men leave their bones upon the

General ST Clair is one of the unfortunate
officers who. without fault in preparation
and of undoubted courage. is defeated and

Indiana Farmer.

Indiana Farmer.
II our readers could have heard the pa
pers and discussions on spraying fruit trees
at our State Horticultural Societys meeting
last week. we think many of them would
reason something like this. on the subject
of contracting with experts to have their
orchards sprayed:
According to these horticultural people
fruit growing is an easy and profitable in
dustry, when carried on in a common
sense and business-like manner. Orchards,
1t appears, need only fairly good SOIL
but they require some attention in the way
of pruning, cultivation and spraying. These
things we farmers have not heretofore at
tended TO. We have not pruned and culti-
waited because we have lost fruit on
account of blight, fungous growths and in
sects. These can be checked only by spray
ing and that we do not understand, and
if we did we have not the time to do the
work and carry on other business properly.
But now comes one OF these theoretical
fellows and persuades the State society to
encourage young men to go into the BUSH
ness OF spraying, and shows how Ii would
pay them TO rig up and prepare an outfit
for the work. and make contracts with the
farmers at so much a tree-only a few
cents each-to keep their orchards well
sprayed throughout the season.. and in
sects are concerned. they shall have fair
crops of perfect fruit. The society in
QOrSeS the 1Oea, ana we DeHeNe there Is a
good deal in II. At any rate, If such a
man comes along next spring we'll let
him talk US into contracting to spray our
trees.
II he is going TO make business OF
spraying trees he must make his work
successful. He will expect our testimony
10 help him in making contracts next year.
If he has gumption enough to run the
business successfully he will study IL thor
oughly, will read all he can find on the
subject and he will fit himself out with
the best spraying apparatus, wagon, pump,
barrel, spraying mixtures for the various
diseases and insects, and will know what,
when and how to use them all. The plan
seems feasible, practicable and worthy of
trial.
We can and will prune, cultivate, and,
If need be, tim out the fruit, for we plainly
see that by the aid of proper and sufficient
spraying may expect from our orchards,
small as they are, ten TO twenty bushels
of fine plums twice as many pears and
from 500 to 500 bushels of apples of good
varieties, one year with another. These
crops of fruit will pay us more. at the
prices that have ruled the past fifteen or
twenty years, than any other forty acres
on our farms in regular field crops We
can we'll afford to make the contract with
the spraying man, though at a pretty high
rate, at the start; he promises to reduce
the price after he gets the business we'll
established. and We See that he can afford
to do so, as he will have so many more
orchards to care fcr If he succeeds with
ours. Yes, we'll patronize the spraying
man, one year anyhow.
