The Farmer and Fruit Grower says:
The invention of brand-new fruits and
vegetables is the principal work to be
done in the Laboratory of Plant Breed
ing, just organized under the Depart
ment of Agriculture. DR.. Herbert Web
Der. who has been put in charge, has
already succeeded in creating several
distinct novelties in the vegetable
kingdom while in collaboration with
Walter T. Swingle.
A kid-gloVe grapefruit is a novelty
just turned out by these gentlemen
Hitherto the grapefruit has been a
troublesome delicacy to handle, owing
to the stubborn resistance of it's pulp,
which has refused to be quartered, like
the orange. Yet 1t has become the"
breakfast fruit of those who under
stand that ii contains an alkaloid In
gredient similar to quinine in tonic eff
feet. DIR. Weber and Mr.. Swing1e tried
their luck at crossing the kid-glove
orange or tangerine with the grapefruit
The tangerne obtains it's most COM
mon name from the fact that when it's
loose, delicate skin is removed it falls
into quarters naturally, and can be
eaten with hands clad in the most del
icate and immaculate of gloves. One
of the hybrids resulting from this alli-
ance has just given fruit, the offspring
being about the size of an ordinary
orange. 1t has the easily-removab1e
skin and bright orange-yellow flesh of
the tangerine, and it's segments fell
apart quite as readily as do those of
the latter. 1t has the slightly-modi-
fed bitter acid flavor of the grapefruit,
but not so bitter
"Tangelo' is the name given to this
new species. 1t was derived from the
two words, "tangerine" and "pomelo.' .
which latter is the true name of the
grapefruit.
The grapefruit was used as the moth
er parent the tangerine as the father.
But the "tangelo"-the offspring of this
odd experiment in plant matrimony-is
| neither tangerine nor a pomelo. It is
! a distinct and new species-quite as
distinct from either parent as is the
| lime or lemon.
! A fortune. no doubt, awaits the first
| grower who will learn to cultivate the
| tangclo on large scale. 1t will thrive
wherever the orange or grapefruit will
Because of its greater convenience, IL

The Influence of the Mixer.

A cows udder is essentially a tank,
or four tank-like receptacles, for hold
ing the milk as it is slowly evolved by
the mysterious milk-producfng pro-
cesses, says the Dairyman. When the
udder is in normal condition these
tanks have intake pipes-the milk veins
and automatically closing spigots for
the outflow, which man has named
teats. 1t is with these last named
points of the milk machines that dairy
men often suffer large losses.
1t matters not how great the ex-
pense and pains the dairyman has
taken in the breeding, rearing and
feeding of his dairy animals, unless
the milking is correctly performed he
will not realize the returns that his
former care has earned.
The milk as it collects in the udder
has the same properties as after it has
been drawn. The particles of butter
fat tend to rise to the top just as
they do in man-made milk-Vat
which accounts for the richness of the
strippings in butter-fat. The last few
ounces of strippings will sometimes
test as high as fifty per cent. of but
ter-fat. 1t will often be found that
the careless, unthinking mixer leaves
strippings at the end of each milking,
which if continued for even a short
time will seriously interfere with the
productiveness of the animal for the re-
mainder of the season at least. With
heifers just being educated to a highly
productive milk habit-for abnormally
great production is to a consid-
cradle extent continued by force of
habit-the utmost care in the manner
of milking is highly essential.
In the first place, the animal must
feel that the mixer is her friend. This
understanding is quickly gained by the
COW, and to retain her confidence she
must receive uniformly kind treatment
in voice and usage even when acct
dent or disease renders her teats or
udder tender or sore, and she is in
consequence becomes vicious for the
time being. The model mixer will
at such times control the cow by
means of some tackle or fastenings
instead of trying to subdue her by
beating or other brutal means often
resorted to by unfit mixers.
Cows that have contracted the habit
of withholding a portion of their milk
can frequently be recovered to their
former usefulness by supplying skilled,
| intelligent mixers who have learned to
carefully manipulate and massage the
udders at that stage of the milking
| process when the COW has become ac-
customed to withhold the remainder of
| her milk
The practice of eternally stripping
! by mere drops when the milk has been
nearly all withdrawn is a mistaken
! practice. and Will often cause free
milking cows to contract the stripping
! habit. The skilful mixer will continue
to withdrawn the milk rapidly until
the udder is empty, unless the COW
has already contracted the habit of
! Withholding it,
| Kind usage. good humor, smooth,
rapid milking and a CHEEKY whistle
| are equally as effective for filling the
| milk pail as are good breeding and
well-balanced ration.

SWALLOWED AN OSTRICH

A special dispatch from Palm Beach
to the New York Herald says: Charles
F, Bingham of Buffalo, N. Y, an ex-
pert fisherman, hooked and landed a.
leopard shark this morning. These
sharks are very rare and totally diff
ferent from the ordinary kind. In the
stomach of Mr.. Binghams catch was
the head of an ostrich. There was con-
siderable speculation as to where the
shark got the ostrich, and many be-
lieve the fish swan here from Africa

learn If any ostrich had been thrown
out, but the manager claimed none had
died. The shark measured between

ders OF a man. II had five rows of
sawlike teeth in each jaw, which fit-

Plant Cow Peas.

The greatest need of our farming
lands throughout the South is Vege-
table matter. l have made this state
ment in former articles, but it will
bear repeating. Under the hot sun of
summer and long continued rains of
winter, the humus in our soils burns
out and washes away very rapidly. and
the nitrogen it contains is lost. Thus
1t is that the majority of our farming
lands have become inert, and the min
eral plant food they contain has re-
verified to an unavailable condition and
the notrogen has been used up, or
leached away.
To wake up these lands and put
them in good condition 10 produce the
fine crops they formerly did before
exhaustion took place. we must sup
ply once more the vegetable matter

been denuded. ! speak here with ref

1t has been said that all flesh is
grass, says the Swineherd. Whether
this is strictly true or not, at least all
flesh produced by grass is the cheapest
flesh produced on the farm. The man
.who attempts to grow hogs without
pasture is certainly standing very much

Der. He is left" in the language of
the profitable production of pork 1t
not only contributes to the health of
the animal, but to the gain of flesh.
While grass is not a complete ration
for the rapid growth of an animal, 1t
furnishes its proportion and enables
the animal to get more out of its grain
than IL otherwise would. 1t is the
equalizer and completer of the grain
ration IAN acre of good clover will
make 600 pounds of pork. Grass is the
cheapest food for all stock. Grass or
green food of some kind is absolutely
necessary in the cheap production of
pork and Indispensable in keeping the
breeding herd in the best condition at
a reasonable expense. There is moth
ing better for hog pasture than red
clover or a mixture of grasses with red

sHIvERs CAUGHT AGAIN.

With visions of $3.50 reward floating
before him, Detective jenkins of Ma
con has gone to St. Augustine, Fla,
to take to Macon a man supposed to
be Oscar Shivers, the murderer of
Conrad. A photograph was received
from the officials in Florida, and per-
sons who know Shivers declare it to

The suspect was arrested some time
ago, and when the officer attempted to
lock him up, he showed fight and had

suits that may come from his work.
A few principles mast be kept in mind.
| Heavy top pruning produces wood IN
the body of the tree and produces lat
eral buds as well as stimulating the
trees TO much more vigorous growth.
Root pruning lessons wood, but often
induces temporary fruitfulness. 1t is
not useful unless the tree has too
vigorous a growth of top. Too heavy
pruning may weaken the tree to the
extent that il is not able 10 bear fruit.
Most of the old trees need three things;
Thinning of the upper branches, a
checking of their growth. and new
wood for the growth Of fruit. In ad-
dtion and subordinate, the trees Will
need their tops shaped and cut up to
allow cultivation.
Look over your trees and note
whether there is much new wood or
not. If there is, the pruning may be
quite vigorous. with care to leave
enough of this new wood to form fruit
spurs. Remove all limbs that are mis-
shapen, crooked or broken. Take out
all that have vertical forks, that is,
with one branch directly above the
other. for this will split with heavy
crop of fruit. Cut out as much from
the center of the tree as from the out
side, so as to allow light and sun to
enter. Always keep in mind that you
want your tree to have a well-shaped
top and that cultivation must be done
under this trees.
Avoid the very common mistake of
cutting too many large limbs, think
ing they will suffice for many smaller
ones. The opposite is the right pr'ac-
tice. Cut several small limbs farther
out rather than remove a large one
except in case there are two large
branches close together. A good rule
is not to remove limb larger than
to one and one-half inches in dame
ter. In cutting off limbs, make the
cut as square as possible, and near
the larger limb from which the one
to be removed is growing.

The Wonderful Ginseng, or How to
Grow Rich on One Acre.

Our readers no doubt have seen
more or less reference to the plant
ginseng, and perhaps have also no.
ticed advertisements of the roots along
with the claim that an energetic cul-
tivation might make anywhere from
$4,000 to $50, 900 by cultivating one rich
acre in this plant at this time neglect
ed by every one on earth, except the
heathern Chinese.
Before the ginseng craze is written
of the past no doubt there will be
quite a multitude altogether North,
South, East and West. able to admit
their guilliblity to one extent or an
other and they will not be quite so
blamable as one might suppose. Even
the Pennsylvania State College Exper-
iment Station has done no little in
beguiling people into a belief more or
less fervent that growing ginseng
promises most tremendous profits and
that one can soon grow rich by merely
cultivating an acre or two of it.
Bulletin No. So of this station is a
large pamphlet of thirteen pages, and
presents to its readers the results of
cultivating Q.5SO one-five-hundred-
and eightieth of an acre. From the re-
suits obtained from growing to matu-
rity Give years. POI plants, planted
eight inches apart each way the pos
sible yield of an acre was obtained by
multiplying the result by $50. Expert
enced eXperimentors that are also
practical farmers know how utterly
unreliable such a calculation is worth.
The bulletin goes on and tabulates
the many and various expenditures at
tached to growing one acre and runs
out the possible returns per acre by
multiplying the possible product OBJ
tanned as above stated by $3.50 per
pound, the price obtained for the five
pounds of choice roots made on the
small plot. 1t is altogether extraor-
binary in every way assuming that
the experimentor is anything of a
practical man.
At another time we may give the de-
tail of figures. but now will give only
the summary. The total expenses of
cultivating one acre for five years, the
time required to mature a crop OF
ginseng, were 1929. The 1900 pounds
of roots estimated to sell at $3.50 per
pound brings the value of the produc,
TO $24.650, or a net profit of SIS, 401 on
one acre in five years.
