We plant out almost innumerable
shade trees that yield us absolutely
nothing besides their service as para
soils in summer and perhaps as wind
break in winter. If nut-bearing trees
were planted in their stead they would
make as good a growth, serve the pur
poses of the others equally well, and
yield us a good supply of nuts at the
same time Nearly or quite all of our
nut bearing trees are hardy in the
larger sections of our country. Hick
DRY, walnut, chestnut, pecan and fill
berts-the most common kind of nuts
we have-can be found to some eX-
tent all over this country, and with
a little pains in planting such, and
otherwise giving them due attention,
could be made to grow almost any
where. The principal reason for this
not being done is people have not
thought of ii. We have been accuS-
toned to buying and setting out all
kinds of fruit trees. but whenever we
wanted a supply of nuts we expected to
go to the woods and gather them.
No effort was made to grow them at
home
As the land is taken up and i'm
proved. the woods gradually disappear,
and i'm order to have some nuts to
evenings we must either buy them or
take a long trip to the river bottom to
gather a supply. People now begin to
appreciate the value of nut trees in
convenient nearness to their homes,
when they have some assurance of a
supply without being obliged to buy or
go an unreasonable distance for them.
Some of our seedsmen and nursery
men are paying more attention to this
branch of horticulture and many of
them are able to supply any reason
able quantity at reasonable prices. 1t
/ is only necessary to convince farm
ers that it is more profitable to plant
nut trees in place of merely shade
trees.
Along the walks and lanes in pas
lures, nut-bearing trees might be
planted either in groves or strips. and
used as windbreaks for stock, the or
/ chard. or the farm buildings and as a
! combination of shade. protection and
fruit-of the useful and the agreeable.

Pruning Trees.

For heavy pruning the winter sea-
son is generally selected. There is
leisure then, and the bare trees allow
the forming of a better judgment whre
to cut. Those who advocate the prun-
ing in June as being the proper time.
because the healing of the wound COM
mences at once, must consider that
there is not the time at command then
that there is in winter and. really.
from winter until June is not a wait
of more than six months. And besides
this all large scars left by pruning
should be painted TO keep out moist
ure and prevent rotting: so there is
everything in favor of the work being
done in winter Besides the cutting
out OF large lumbs which Is occasion
ally required, there is the cutting away
Of useless small twigs which shoot

Cob Meal.

Cobs are too valuable for the dairy
man to throw away or burn. They
may not possess much nutriment, but
it has been demonstrated quite conclu-
sively that they have a feeding value
not much less than the corn that grew
upon them, provided they are ground
with the corn. A certain weight of
corn and cob meal is equal in feeding
value to a like weight of pure ground
corn. This result doubtless arises from
the more digestible form given to the
corn meal by the presence of the
ground cobs. One of the largest cattle
feeding companies in Nebraska buys all
the .cobs it can get, which it grinds with
the shelled corn it has been compelled
to buy. 1t raises corn and buys what
it can unshelled, but has still to resort
to outside purchases. Our readers
should remember this. 1t is one strong
argument in favor of grinding the corn
rather than feeding it in any other
way; for only by grinding can the cob
be rendered available. The chemist
cannot find the value in the cob that
the COW can, but it is there. We have
paid too little attention to the mechani-
cal form in which our dairy feeds are
given. The COW has a stomach differ
ing very much from that of many other
of our farm animals, and concentrated
foods are not handled in it to good adj
vantage.-F. r.

The Italian Bee.

This bee was introduced from Italy,
in 1860, by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, since when, rec
ognized as in many respects superior
to the ordinary black bee, it has been
widely spread. In nearly all large
apiaries of to-day it is to be found
either pure or in varying degrees of
purity. Less sensitive to cold than
the common kind, it is often to be seen
hard at work when the weather is SO
chilly that comparatively few black
bees will venture out. 1t is, in truth,
an energetic worker and an excellent
honey gatherer. but requires care to
avoid too great attention on it's part
in rearing young with surplus stores.
Although usually gentle, bearing ma
nipulation, and remaining firmly up
ION the comb when that is being ham
died, it will fight hard, long and sue
cessfully for it's home, and is capable
of repelling moths; even if these should
lay their eggs and they Matched, it
would soon find the larvae and drag
them out before any injury was done
Which wonderful vigilance is thought
to be due to the mildness of the climate
of Italy, where the winters are never
cold enough to destroy the moth, and
consequently, having to defend itself
there from a more on the alert than
breeds of cold climates. Indeed, about
the only undesirable characteristic of
the Italian bee is its inclination to
rob other bees. 1t rarely loses an OPP
portunity of forcing it's way into any
weak hive of black bees, and nothing
is more unfortunate than for the care
less or neglectful bee-keeper to have
an aDiarV of Italian bees near at hand,
In that case the badly managed hives
are almost certain to be robbed out
right and left in a starving condition
Nevertheless, the Italians will seldom,
if ever. plumber a strong colony of
black bees. Fred o. Sibley.

the younger, succulent twigs the scale
prefers. Where rabbits are trouble
some, the cut off twigs might be left
on the ground, affording something for
the animals to nibble, instead of bark
ing the trees. The root pruning of
trees might be performed in winter,
when frozen ground does not prevent.
Many large trees make free growth
without Towering, the reason being the
excessive growth is not in line with
fruit bearing. This is remedied by
digging down and around the tree,
cutting off some of the larger roots
met with, particularly those running
far downwards. After these prunings
have been done, take in hand the

such on your trees and if you have

There may be a few scales lodged that

Middletown, N. Y, Jan. 22.-The sleet
and ice storm Of the past forty-eight
hours has damaged the Southern New
York and New Jersey peach belt to
the extent of $500, 900, it is estimated.
Extreme cold weather had done con-
siderable damage to the buds and now
the large orchards are completely de-
vastated by the ice storm, which has
broken off limbs and branches and
ruined the trees. Within a radius of
ten miles, at Glenwood, n. j., over
$150,000 loss has been sustained. At
Colesville, n. j., Edward Carpenter,
who owns 5000 trees, is said to have
had half of them ruined. William Will

BOOK NOTICES.

THE Deliverance," by Ellen Glas-
gov, illustrated in colors. Price, 81. so.
Doubleday, Page and Co.. "a Union
Square, n. Y. The Deliverance.' -
is picture OF life done on a large
canvas. The scene is in Virginia;
the time. during the last twenty years;
the characters are persons of the war
period and of the present generation.
! The story is a large and serious one,
/ lighted everywhere by humor. 1t is
a novel of large scope and of very
original plot-a stirring tale and piece
of literature of distinction both in
/ conception and in style.
Miss Ellen Glasgow. the author of
this book. has three sisters who are
cevotedlv interested in her work.
This interest reached a climax dur
ing the writing of THE Deliverance. y
Miss Glasgow had given her sisters an
outline of the story, and it appeal
ed to them strongly. When she writes,
she locks herself in her den, small
room in the Glasgow home at Rich
mond. Va. After she had finished
| a chapter. she allowed her sisters to
read il. As the story developed, they
became absorbed. They could scarce
ly wait from day to day to learn the
progress of the novel. AS the story
grew, they camped outside Miss Glas-
COWS room. and when she came out
after a hard mornings work, there was
a wild scramble for the freshly writ
ten sheets.

VASTNESS OF RUSSIA.
The Great Size of the Empire Is Not
Generally Recognized.


Generally Recognized.
Few persons realize how vast Is the
area Of the Russian empire. Into that
enormous country you could put oil Of
non-Russian Europe and yet only take
up little more than one-eighth Of the
cars domains. Then you could add
the United States, including Alaska,
and still have almost enough territory
left to place Canada in. In fact, the
Russian empire comprises one-seventh
Of the land surface of the globe.
Though not comparable in extent Of
territory with the empire of the car,
the United States seems Of enormous
area when compared with the Euro
pean countries other than Russia.
The state of Texas alone would take
in Germany, Greece, Holland and Swift
zerland and still have room to spare.
Belgium would simply be lost in the
Maine woods. In fact, you could put
two Belgiums into the state Of Maine
and have state left as large as New
Jersey.
France could be slowed away up in
Montana and Wyoming, with enough
territory left over to take in Portugal.
Sweden would fit into California, with
lots of room to spare, and Spain would
almost, but not quite, fit into Nevada
and Idaho.
To make Spain comfortable, we
Would have to borrow 1000 square
miles from Arizona, but that would
still leave Arizona enough territory to
take in Italy, leaving out Sardinia.
AS for the British isles, we could
stow them away in New Mexico and
have land to spare afterward. The
dual empire of Hungary would
be more difficult matter to deal with,
and in order to give it elbow room we
should have to devote the states of
Colorado and Oregon to 1t and then
borrow $4,000 square miles from Wash
ington, which would still leave Wash
ington room in which to put the king
dom Of Servia and have enough left
over for fair sized state.
The kingdom of Roumania could be
placed in Arkansas, with about 5000
square miles to Spare, and Bulgaria
would have more than enough room In
Oklahoma.
Turkeys possessions in Europe are
about as large as Missouri, and Nor
way could be placed in the two Da-
kotas, with lots of room left over. The
pieces left over from the various states
and territories mentioned would be
more than enough to make an area as
large as Denmark and the other odds
and ends of non-Russian Europe not
mentioned.
But If we did not want to spare so
much territory Of the western states
and territories, we could economize by
placing Germany, France, Italy and
Belgium up in Alaska, and the British
isles could be distributed among the
Philippines, Hawaii and Porto Rico
