Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Please allow me to say in reply to
Harry Farmer that I see no possible
benefits to accrue to the farmer from
raising the legal rate of interest from
6 to 8 or 10 per cent. If he can give
such security as the banks are will
ing to take, he can now get all the
money he wants at per cent, and
if the rate of interest were increased
he would have to give the same sort
of security that he does now. Why
then should he favor paying a higher
rate?
If the interest was fixed at per
cent, the merchant could charge a
still greater price on time than he
does now, and the farmer would have
just as much difficulty in borrowing
money then as now.
Let the Legislature abolish crop
liens and the farmers pay barter or
cash for what they buy or do without,
and then the farmer will not be at
the mercy of either merchant or
banker. If he can't farm without
mortgaging his crop a year ahead,
he had better stop trying to farm and
hire himself out to some one who will
feed him and pay him wages besides.

The seed dealers are sending their

test which many farmers and gard

be of much use.

The time was when the prosperity
of a farmer was judged by the num-
Der of acres he cultivated made
a pretense of cultivating. When this
was true land was the cheapest sort
of property. In these days it is
otherwise. Many of our poorest far
mers have more land than they can
properly handle, and many of our
best and most successful farmers
cultivate small farms, fertilized with
brains as well as stable composts. A
large farm we'll cultivated and well
stocked is better than small one
treated the same way. But the re-
sources of soil, industry and intelli-
gence are almost inexhaustible, so
that all a 5O-acre farm requires is
a proper application of these factors
and success is assured.-Farm and

If Cleveland County people would
raise chickens and eggs for market
on an extensive scale they would soon
get rich, and the wealth would con-
tinue to increase if they still pursued
the business. At present prices, the
way is open for big profits in ship
ping chickens and eggs or selling
them on the home market. Our peo-
pie are taking advantage of these
high prices, and some sections of
county have been shipping extern
sively. For instance, our genial ex-
press agent, W. L. Carroll, tells us
that lily 7+h 5000 -dn0n1o- of
eggs and 10000 chickens have been
shipped through the office here, and
nearly all of these shipments came
from Fallston and the vicinity

quantities, The eggs have averaged

easily figure what a nice sum has
gone to the farmers in some sections

Planting Orchard Trees.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:


The season for transplanting trees
is nearing a close. A few words on
planting may be read with profit and
pleasure.
In selecting place for an orchard,
choose one with an open clay sub
soil, the richer the better for apples
and cherries. Peaches and pears
should be planted in poorer soil. In
very rich soil peaches are apt to rot
and pears make so much new wood
each year that they are more liable
to blight, especially when there are
late heavy frosts in the spring sea-
son. Better plant fruit trees in sight
of your door, if good ground can be
had, otherwise it should be planted
at a distance. Plant on rocky land
rather than on terraces, clay or sob
by land. If the land is poor dig a
large deep hole aud fill in with rich
or loamy soil.
If the land is good plow a few deep
burrows along the line where the
trees are to grow and then it is i'm
material about digging a large or
deep hole unless the tree is a very
large one.
Here let me advise you to plant
trees one year old if YOU can get
them, and never more than two years
old. Never plant a diseased tree;
especially beware of one with the
aphis or root louise, which is indi
Gated by a white deposit. If the
trees to be planted have dried out in
transportation, or from being dug
too long, submerge them in water
over night. Prepare a vessel, fill it
half full with fresh COW manure, into
which may be thrown a handful or
two of fertilizer or pulverized horse
manure; add water and stir into a
batter, and dip roots of the tree into
the batter Filter around the roots
finely pulverized soil, and when they
are we'll covered gently shake the tree
by raising and letting it down SO as
to let the soil settle between the
roots. Set the tree just little deep
er than it grew in the nursery. If
the weather is very dry pour bucket
full or two of water around the roots
and mulch with straw, leaves, or
shavings. Observe these cautions
and you will never lose a healthy tree
by transplanting.
Plant peaches ten by twenty or
thirty. When young cultivate in pO-
tatoes, strawberries or small fruits
(never in rye, oats or wheat).
Apples should be planted twenty
by forty. Head all trees low. Train
the tops so as to shade the trunks
from the sun to slant the tree a little
on setting to the southwest will aid
you in this. Most people prefer run
ming the rows of trees square with
the world, that is, north and SOUTH
east and west. I would prefer north
