HORTICULTURAL PAPERS.
ARE INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE
Two Papers Read Before the Winnesheik
County Horticultural Society
Meeting Recently.
"TOP WORKING, OBJECT AMI
VALUE. "

To fill our wants with apples we have
been getting varieties from nearly the
world over, and producing thousands
of seedlings. By this we have gotten
this far: if we have three or four
Duchess we have plenty of fruit for
the season, and if we have few
Longfield, Patterns Greetings and
Wealthies we also have plenty of good
fruit for early and late fall. This list
can easily be filled. But to grow
winter varieties any extent success
fully to fill the demand, there we are
far behind We have learned that the
tenderest part of most of our hardest
winter varieties are not in the top but
in their bodies and crotches. Weak
ness in the forks and sunscal which
the n. W. Greening, Russell, Ben
Davis, Famuse and number of others
are more or less subject to. By this
cause the trees are not long lived. But
to get hardy trees both in bodies and
tops, the only way is to top-graft. In
SO doing we must select the hardi-
est and most suitable varieties such
as Duchess, Virginia Grab, Whitney
No. 20, some of the Russian varieties
for stock, and top-graft on those
varieties some of the most reasonably
hardy kinds, such as N. W. Greening
Malinda, Russell, Ben Davis and
Famuse. This list is long enough to
begin with. But some varieties kill
from the top down in severe winters,
it would be useless to top-graft such
kinds. You may ask what varieties
are the best for stock to graft on.
answer, because apple trees differ SO
much in many respects that no stock
will ever be found which will prove
good for all others. l remember five
years ago | was doing some top graft

APPLES, VARIETIES To BE
RECOMMENDED FOR THIS
LOCALITY AND PLANTED -

/ will not attempt to name all of the
desirable varieties, but short list
of the leading varieties, that are
adapted to the greatest variety of soil
in this locality For summer, fall
and winter. as follows: For summer,
Duchess and Tetopsky; For fall,
Wealthy Longfeld, McMahons White,
aud Patterns Greening; For winter,
Malinda. Northwestern Greening,
and Walbridge. Let any man plant
these varieties on fair location, with
young trees that are properly grown
and take reasonable care of them and
/ trust he will not say that we
cannot grow apples here in northern
Iowa There is perhaps no state in
the union that there are as many differ
ent varieties of apples grown as here
in Iowa, and each variety when first
introduced has been doomed and sold
for fancy price. most of them reach
ing the dollar mark. Farmers have
been in the habit of buying what
they consider the best, and il stands
to reason that tree that costs one
dollar is of course better than one
that costs but twenty five cents. And
right here is the cause of so many
having but little faith in apple grow
ing in our locality. They have tried
what they supposed to be the best, and
yet large per cent. of them practic-
ally failed and then they say we can
not grow apples in Iowa, Where if
they would stop to consider they
would see that they were paying one
dollar for the privilege of testiang a
twenty-five cent tree, and that they
stood about one chance in one thous-
and to get winning tree. Do not
understand that advise the planting
of cheap trees, for do not; would
as soon think of raising good crop of
corn without cultivating as / would

Don't Worry.

This is easier said than done, vet ii
may be of some help to consider the
matter. If the cause is something
over which you have no control it is
obvious that worrying will not help
the matter in the least. On the other
hand. if within your control you have
only to act. When you have cold
and fear an attack of pneumonia, buy
bottle of Chamberlain Cough
remedy and use it judiciously and all
cause for worry as to the outcome will
quickly disappear. There is no
danger of pneumonia when it is used.

Thousands of women are kept in
sickness for months and years owing
70 false treatment and the use of
worthless medicines, and we are
inclined to believe that Milton
thought of this class of almost
dying women when he said:
1.-The angelic guards assembled,
mute and sad. "
The common sense treatment of
today for weak, rundown and suffer
ing women, is Paine's Celery Com
pound. This marvellous medicine is
spoken of in every part of the
civilized world, and men and women
of all classes derive new life from
its use. Miss Elizabeth Messick,
Marietta, Ohio, writes about her
rescue from a low condition of
ply weakness; she says:
Eight years ago / was most sue

This Is q story Of man who has
become successful merchant. A few
years ago he was employed as an
Office boy and messenger for a large
Arm. He was sent to collect an 40
count from a hrm which was eonsid-
cred very "shaky," and was told to
get the money at all hazards.
Tho debtors gave the lad check
for 8 so. He went to the bank at once
to cash IL, and was told by the cashier
that there were not enough funds in
to meet It.
"How much short?" asked the lad.
Thirty shillings," was the answer
It lacked but a minute or two Of
the time for the bank to close. The
boy felt in his pocket, took out 30
shillings and, pushing through the
window, said:
"Put that to the credit of - 4
Co."
The cashier did so, whereupon the
boy presented the check and got the
money. - & Co. failed the next day
and their chagrin can be better imag-
ined than described when they found
out the trick that had been played
upon them.-London Tit-Bits.
