CONDENSED ORCHARDS.
and Great Crops Produced
from Them.

A certain boy with a famous appetite
for fruit discovered early in his career
that the trees with the best fruit were
to be found in what was called the
hospital" of his grandfather's fruit
nursery, piece of ground devoted to
refuse trees, which were too small for
customers, and which were often taken
up and replanted. Many fine feast the
boy enjoyed in the hospital, says
writer in Parsons Magazine, but it
was not until he came to thinking age
that he realized why these particular
trees bore fine crops, although they
never made strong growth.
The reason was simply that they were
often moved, and that the ground round
about them was often dug over. Under
standing this, he began to introduce a
new system of fruit cultivation, that
of making the trees fruitful and healthy
by keeping their roots near the surface,
pruning the trees frequently, and NOV
ing the trees if necessary once in about
two years. In this way the trees are
kept dwarfted, and great crops are pro-
duced.
In old-fashioned orchards trees are
allowed to grow to whatever size and
in whatever shape they will, and the
grass is allowed to grow beneath, for
food, it may be, for cattle. But now the
orchards are orchards in miniature,
condensed orchards, with trees only
few feet in height, and generally either
pyramidal in shape or like little bushes,
and the ground beneath them is carefully
cultivated.
An apple orchard Of one acre planted
with dwarf trees will contain more than
five hundred trees, shaped either as
broad little bushes or as regular pyra-
mids; and there will be space for some
seven hundred smaller bush fruits be-
tween the trees. The effect on the fruit
trade that has been wrought by such
revolutioniZing ideas cannot be calcu-
lated. The little bush or pyramidal
lawns or gardens.
Still more interesting is the method
of growing fruit trees in pots as orna-
ments for Conservatives The trees,
with their beautiful foliage and fruit,
are as decorative as any exotic flower,
and would be we'll worth growing for
their beauty alone, even if their fruit
were uneatable. In the gardens at Saw
bridgeworth, in England, small orchards
are grown in pots under glass-orchards
of peaches nectarineS cherries and
plums, while pears are grown in pots in
simple orchard houses, without artificial
heat

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds in Watch Cases.

According to an article in the Cinc;n.-
natl Commercial, tifty-one pound stone
was recently found in that city secreted.
in a bale of hay of eighty pounds.
This is not as bad as finding a lump of
lead OF nearly one-half the weight of the,
solid god watch case secreted in the CEN
ter of the case
Gold watch cases are sold by weight.
and no one can see where this lead is
secreted until the springs of the case are:
taken out and the lead will be found Sc
creted behind them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the
means to the dishonest to rob the pub
lie. 1t is not pleasant for anyone to find,
that he has lugged a lump of lead in his
watch case.
Another trick the makers of spurious,
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the
case ~. S. Assay" The United States
does not stamp any article made out of
gold and silver except coin, and the sakir,-
by, using this stamp, wants to make the
public believe that the government had.
something to do with the stamping or
guaranteeing the fineness of watch cases
Another trick of the watch fakir is to.
advertise watch described as a solid.
gold filed watch with twenty or twenty
fve-year guarantee. These watches are.
generally sent c. o. d., and if the pnr--
chaser has paid for the watch, he finds.
that the Company which guaranteed the
watch to wear is not in existence.

posing these frauds will furnish the

CAPITAL FOR POULTRY.
Some Reasons Why Beginners should
Start in n Small Way and Build
Up Gradually.

When one has had no experience he
should begin with the lowest expense
and at the least risk. If the capital is
small it is better to rent for a year or
two rather than to buy, for the reason
that il one buys he reduces his work
ing capital, and should he be unsuccess-
full he must stay on the farm until he
can sell 1t. If he rents he can return the
farm to the owner and leave. It is
claimed, however, that If one buys he
can begin and get everything ready for
a permanent stay, which is true, but
that is just what an inexperienced per-
son should not do. He should start in
a small way and make his capital by in
creasing his f1ocks every year, and by
the time he has large number of fowls
he will know much more than when he
began. He can then take his fowls to a
purchased farm and feel that he has
made good beginning. That is one
point in favor of poultry-the making
of capital. No one should expect too
much for the first two years Allow five
years, begin with but little capital, let
the fowls increase, and in five years one
may not have made much money for his
pocket, but if he will figure up what he
has done he will find that he is consider
ably richer, and has saved his capital
instead of taking the risk of losing it all
at once. Nothing on a farm pays as
much as poultry, if rightly managed, but
there is no quicker way to lose money
with poultry if one does not know what
he is doing.-Rural World.

mOdate as many fowls as should be kept
in each pen.
The partitions between the pens should
De tight and of boards two and one-half
feet high with wire netting above. A
house of this length should be divided
by two solid partitions to prevent drafts.
These partitions should likewise extend
through the alley, the doors being hung
on double action hinges. Nests should
be located under the platform and open
into the pens and alley so that eggs can
be gathered without going into each
pen.
The house may be built in any way
to suit the owners fancy and pocket

stone foundation, and be constructed of
spruce timber and sheathed both inside
and outside of studding The front wall
should be five or six feet between the
studs and rear wall six feet TO provide
head room in the alley. The roof may
be shingled or covered with any of the
best grades of asphalt felt roofing. The
foor may be of earth or earth raised
several inches above the surrounding
surface. The cost of house of this
kind will vary from $3.50 to SO per run
ming foot, depending upon manner of
construction, cost of material and la
Dor. Twenty hens or pullets are enough
for each pen.
