PLAN OF HOTBED.

hardwood posts. not less than 5x6 inches,
long enough to be set below bed level 21z
OF three feet. 1t is to be permanent, and
only sound, long lasting timber should
be used for walls, land even these should
DO heavily painted or covered with pitch.
Use boards or plank outside as we'll as in
side Of line Of posts, providing dead air
space, and protecting inside wall. All,
except side walls, is Of portable construc-
ton to allow taking down for driving
or backing team in while filling or re-
moving dirt, manure or stored crops.
Use 4x4-inch ridgepole, as shown at A,
to support 2x4-inch rafters, held to-
gether by heavy bent wire at B. Place
2x4-inch center uprights every six feet,
resting on flat stone or plank.
Nail 1x1-inch strip in the center Of
each rafter for a sash guide. To prevent
wind penetrating or lifting sash use
ridge board on top, and hook and eye
at bottom of each sash.-Reg. Stubs, in

"Dry Dust" for Spraying.

Mr.. L. A. Goodman stated recently
that spraying was to-day necessity
with the progressive apple grower. He
had been testing the merits of "dust
spray" and while he did not feel quail
flied to state that it was altogether an
improvement over the old liquid form;
yet he had seen fit to use it exclusively
on an orchard of over 400 trees. Thor
oughness seemed to be the keynote to
success. AS to the dust" he pro-
nounced it safe, cheap, easily applied
and no water hauling necessary. His
formula is as follows: Lime. 20 pounds;
paris green, one poundt dry Bordeaux,
one pound; sulphur, one pound; con-
centrated lye, pulverized. one pound.
The dry dust spray is without doubt
rapidly gaining friends. and we will
all know more about it a few months
hence-Midland Farmer. =, ~ -

Wholesome Advice Of 4 Chicago Com
mission Man to Fruit Growers
I. r,,.s Of the Middle West. :.

Benjamin Newhall, q Chicago fruit
commission merchant, in a paper con
tributed to the last session of thu
Illinois state horticulturists, eaid:
Quality pays; style pays still bet
ter; and both together best Of all. You
growers know this, but probably We
dealers realize It even more fully
For instance, recently we received q
car load Of apples most of which sold
ut 50 per barrel. but in that car were
some that cold at $3.50 per barrel
Both were called No. 1, but the 50 ap
pies were high in flavor and color
and perfect as to shape, put up in an
attractive package and finely packed
The $3.50 apples were sound. but were
dull and uninviting in color, Of poor
flavor and put up in a slovenly look
ing package and were poorly packed
I'VE sold Seckel pears at IS and &
per barrel this fall on the same day
and we got full price on both. It was
quality and style that made the differ
ence. Not once, but many times we
have sold Jonathans. sound and fresh
" received the same day at 81 and
SO per barrel. In fact this very thing
Is one Of the chief annoyances Of our
trade: Few shippers realize the value
Of just little Of natures tinting on
the skin Of an apple or how slight q
difference in this line will mean q diff.
ference Of from 50 cents. to $l.O0 per
barrel in the price.
"Yop say you sold John Jones ap'
pies at IS straight and for mine you
got only 81, both packed by the same
man on the same day, the orchards
within a mile of each other. How Is
this?" What a hopeless task to reply
to such a question:! my apples were
just as good as his, just as large, just
as smooth, just. as carefully packed,
with just as good cooperage." All this
is true, my friend, but they we,~ worth
$1.00 per barrel less in our market
just the same and ale harder to sell
at the difference. Ard why? It is ex'
cellence set off by style. That is why
the fruit from sunny valleys OF
the far west outsells the best selec-
tions Of the middle west. It may not
have more intrinsic merit, but it has
style.
Quality pays. Choose your varieties
wisely; take pains with your orchard
treatment. Study the market needs;
but above all cultivate style in fruit
packing and package, and when to
this style you add quality, you have a
combination that will sell your fruit
at prices that will often surprise you.

LOW-HEADED TREES BEST.
A System Of Trimming Which Is Be-
coming Popular on Account Of
Its Many Advantages.

The Southern Agriculturist gives tho
following, reasons for the trimming Of
fruit trees to develop a low head: =.
1t, might be difficult to state. inst
which Is the most important. The
great saving Of expense and the great.
er ease and comfort in gathering the
fruit is certainly an important one
Another is the greater convenience
in spraying, pruning and thinning
fruit. Again, If All apple drops to the
ground it is not ruined by the fall.
Another great gain, and perhaps the
greatest advantage of all when the
life of the tree is considered, is the
protection given to the roots from the
hot sun in summer. Trees thus pro.
tected make better growth, and seem
more healthy, and believe, will en-.
dure much longer.
There is one other advantage to be
derived from this low training and
shading. It is the effect on the growth
of the branches. They being always
shaded and so near the ground, it
causes the under side Of the branch to
make a thicker group every year, there
by causing a more upright growth. If
one should cut off one Of these branches
and examine the cut lie will find that
the heart is much nearer to the upper
side or above the center, and rings
showing the annual growth will be
much further apart at the under side,
whereas, If q branch is cut from a tree
with a high head and long trunk
Clover branch) it will be found that
the heart is growing in a more horizon
tai direction. Such branches, when
laden with fruit, are much more like
ly to bend down to the ground than
those which start near the ground and
grow more uprightly. One can there
fore cultivate more conveniently
among the low headed trees than he
can among the higher and more spread
ing heads. i

PROVIDE SOME COMFORT.
Everv Farm Should Have an Attrac-
tive Yard, a Vegetable Garden
and Berry Patch.

4 think very few farmers appreciate
the comforts they might enjoy from
farm life II they would only make their
spare time count and try to make their
farms and homes neat and attractive.
Very few have their lawns graded or
use q lawnmower. Why not grade up
the yard, cut the burdock and sprouts
from around the cherry trees, nail up
those loose clapboards on the house
and paint it. Clean up around the barn
and remove those old broken down
fences and cut them up for wood.
All these things do not require much
money. I can see no excuse for some
farmers having disreputable looking
dooryards, for If they used their spare
time to advantage, year or two will
make great improvement.
Fence off a place for garden, re-
move all stones and rubbish and make
the ground rich. Plant small vegeta-
bles, such as onions, radish and lettuce
in straight rows one foot apart and
cultivate with wheel hoe. Larger veg
etables plant farther apart and Guilt
vate with horse. Better have small
garden we'll worked than large one
half worked.
Do not forget the strawberries. Have
them on the>table from the first of June
until August. How many go to town
to buy berries for shortcake for Sun
day? Perhaps one quart, sometimes
two or three, and this for large fami-

He has made chronic catarrh life
