Short Root Pruning.

Regarding short root pruning, Prof.
III. II. Van Deman says in the Southern
Fruit Grower: The greatest vitality is
near the collar of a young tree or plant.
The recuperative power seems TO DE
stronger there than further out on the
roots. Now if the soil is such as to Ia
yor growth. that is, sufficiently porous
for the water and air to permeate 1t SUI
ficiently, rich in plant food and the tenn
perature right for plant growth, the
short pruning of the roots is better than
very long pruning, or than none at all
except what was done in digging In the
nursery. The young roots Will come out
stronger and grow with more vigor than
they will if they have to start from the
minor roots Short root pruning forces
the growth to begin at the strongest
place for it. But in unfavorable soils
and climates, that is, where the soil is
stiff and the springs cool and unmpul-
sive, the short root pruning plan Is not
good.
Il know that there are those who rec
ommend stub-root pruning universally,
and with almost no qualifications, but
this is a mistake according to my obser-
walton and experience. The conditions
that favor or suit the short root pruning
are far more commonly found IN the
southern states than in the northern re-
gions. The land is generally light and
friable and the springs warm and invlg-
Grating. The autumns are also long and
warm and the conditions right for Undue
ing root growth before the spring season
comes on.
"The cutting back of the tops to short.
en- the evaporating surface is another
matter that must not be forgotten when
tree or plant is transplanted If the
roots are cut to stubs, as may sometimes
be a good plan, the tops must be treated
In the same way

Minnesota State Fair.

Among the numerous exhibits at the
recent Minnesota state fair none at
tracted greater attention or elected
more merited comment than the fruit
display IN the horticultural building.
The writer's boyhood days were spent
in the great apple belt of western New
York, where fruit was abundant and
every house 10 city, town or country
had its quota of good apples in the Gel
lar every winter Years have passed
and | have seen many displays of APP
piles, but never before have | beheld a
finer exhibit of fruit than our own Min

not grow Baldwins, Greetings, North

kinds that are famous in eastern mar
kets. But we have almost a new race
of apples, iron-clad native and Russian
varieties which withstand our severe
winters without damage and are the
peers Of any fruit in size, beauty and
flavor. | will only mention few OF

Protecting Porto Rico Fruits.

special to the New York CONNER
eial says:
Leading fruit growers in Porto Rico
held meeting few days ago and ar
ranged for the appointment of commits
sion to inspect all fruit buds, all cuttings,
seeds and other means of prCpagating
fruit. As things are now the fruit trees
and vines are remarkably free from dis
ease. The oranges have the old form
of scale, which is common wherever
orange trees grow, but there is no San
Jose scale and the white fly is unknown.
The fruit interests of the island are a
unit in seeking to establish this prevent
i've system and have agreed that no cut
things, buds or seeds will be used which
do not bear the inspectors declaration
Chat they are free from the dangerous
diseases common to fruit plants else
where.

WAsPs DID WORK OF CUPID.
How Bachelor Came to Sec the Error
of His Wavs.

A curious tale Is told OF young
man from Grants Pass, Oregon. who
was cured of the bachelor habit by
"mud-dauber" wasps. The hero tells
the story on himself OF how he was
working In a mine near his native
town and at the end of a hard days
work always tumbled into his bunk
in an old log cabin without taking the
trouble To arrange his blankets. The
cabin was infested with "mud-daub-
ers," and one day several OF these To-
Gated themselves i'm the miners bed.
The young man retired without cere-
mony that evening. but he arose again
very rapidly According TO his own
statement, which may perhaps best be
taken with a grain OF caution, he flew
clear 10 the roof and knocked off half
q dozen or more shakes came down,
kicked over the table and otherwise
gave evidence Of a worried man for
several minutes The wasps ended his
bachelor career, for the miner went
next day to Grants Pass and secured
housekeeper in the person of a pref
ty bride.

Questions and answers.

Cues | have about eight acres OF
grapes, set last spring. Would you adj
wise wiring the coming spring or cutting
back to get stronger cane?
Ans. Where the vines have not all
made sufficient growth to reach the first
wire with wood one fourth of an inch in
diameter, we would advise cutting back
and forcing all the growth into one shoot
thus forming a good, strong body to tho
vine. If they have heavy growth, it is
better to trellis at once.

He gathered cherry stones and carved
them quantity
Into fine semblance OF flies and flowers;
With subtle skill, he even managed faint

The forms Of tiny maids and ivied tow

His little blocks he loved TO file and pol
ish;
And ampler means he asked not, but
despised.
All art but cherry stones he would abol-
ish.
For then his genius would be rightly
priced.
For such rude hands as dealt with
wrongs and passions
And throbbing hearts, he had a plying
smile:
Serene his way through surging years
and fashions
While heaven gave him his cherry
stones and file!
