The old notion used to be that plums
preferred a heavy clay soil. This Is
still true for certain classes Of plums,
particularly the Domesticas and Dam
sOns. But some other plums thrive
in other soils, so that by choos
ing the varieties best adapted 10 par
ticular situations plums may be grown
almost anywhere. Even light, sandy
soils are suitable to the japanese va
rieties and some OF the hybTid8. TAX
ing all kinds of piumg together, how
ever, the pest soil is that which would
be suitable for apples; and the general
rule regarding apples is that they will
thrive on any soil well suited to pota,
toes. A loose, deep, ~gravelIy soil, with
an open subsoil is the best for all
orchard trees in this climate. This
is what should be chosen where it is
available. Where it cannot be had,
almost any soil will do, providing only
hat it is well drained. 1t must not
hold water either in summer or winter.
If it is inclined to do so it must be
thoroughly drained, preferably by
closed stone or tile underdrains, before
the trees are planted.-Prof. h. A.
Waugh.

AS the Keiffer pear appears on the
market it is not n general favorite,
as 1t has not been properly ripened.
1t needs to be picked when fully ma
ture and then put away for five or six
weeks to ripen. When so treated 1t
had a fair flavor, though the Keiffer
will never be noted for fine flavor, no
matter how perfectly handled. But
taking all things together, the Keiffer
Is a favorite with pear growers. THIS
Is because it car be depended on TO
live and produce fruit. which cannot
be said of most Of the varieties OF
pears. The men that planted Keifer
pear trees a generation ago are now
getting an income from them, while
those that planted mostly other sorts
are lamenting the fact that they plant
ed varieties that yielded to the blight
Perhaps 1t Is the lack Of high quality
in the Keiffer that protects it. 1t may
be hat the bees do not visit the BIOS
SONS Of the Keiffers as much as they
do the varieties that have more flavor
to their credit. The fact is well estab'
lished that the Keiffers do not blight
as badly as some Of the pears that
are of fine quality. Now, the grower
would like to have a pear of high quail
ity to sell to his friends, but since he
canrot he is fairly well satisfied to
have a pear that his friends find edl-
BILE and that he can produce in large
quantities. The Keiffer pear Is prob
ably the n on which most money Is
made, at least east of the Rocky Noun
tains.

Cleanliness and Health.

In the summer time the poultry
keeper Is not called upon to do much
cleaning in the poultry house, as, for
the most part Of the season, tho fowls
have the run Of the farm. In tho win
ter, however, the farm flock Is shut
up and It's health can easily suffer on
account Of neglect to keep the house
clean.
It's very natural to think that the
cold weather will freeze the drop
pings as fast as they accumulate, and
that, If they do pile up under the
%roosts, 1t Will make little difference.
The truth is hat in much Of the
north there are very many days In
winter when the temperature Is
above tho freezing point and some
times 1t is as high as fifty and sixty
degrees. A warm night in winter Is
very trying On the fowls, when the
droppings have been permitted to &C.
cumulate for a month, as Is the case
in numerous instances.
The writer has sometimes put his
head into a poultry house in winter
where the ammonia vas SO thick
that 1t was a wonder the fowls could
live in it. If it is bad for the wner
to stay for five minutes In such a
place, what must be the experience
Of the hens compelled to stay all
night in it! The farmer Is unable to
figure out any loss, nor a anyone
else. 1t comes in a weakened consti-
tuition; and some day when some
fowl is found dead under the roost
1t will be indirectly due to the sap
ping Of the constitution by the am
moniacal gases.
In every walk OF life cleanliness
and health are associated. The sup
plying of oxygen to the blood through
the lungs is as necessary with fowls
as with humans.
The Falls City tribune., 1905-02-10
Hot Fitting of Horseshoes.

A bulletin of the Department OF
Agriculture says: Few farriers have
either the time or the skill necessary
to so adjust a cold shoe to the hoot
that it will fit, as we say, "air-tight."
Though the opponents of hot fitting
draw a lurid picture OF the direiul
consequences of applying a hot shoe
to the hoof, it is only the abuse OF
the practice that is to be condemned.
If a heavy shoe at a yellow heat be
held tightly pressed against a hoot
which has been pared too thin, Till
it embeds itself, serious damage may
be done. But a shoe at a dark heat
may be pressed against a properly
dressed hOof long enough to scorch
and thus indicate to the farrier the
portions of horn that should be low
cred, without appreciable injury to
the hoof, and to the ultimate benefit
of the animal.
The horse owner should insist on
the nails being driven low. They
should pierce the wall not above an
inch and fve-eighths above the shoe,
A nail penetrating the white line and
emerging low on the wall destroys
the least possible amount of horn, has
a wide and strong clinch, rather than
a narrow one which would be formed
near the point of the nail, and further
more has the strongest possible hold
on the wall, because its clinch is pull
ing more nearly at a right angle to
the grain (horn tubes) of the wall
than If driven high. Finally, do not
allow the rasp to touch the wall above
the clinches.

The Peanut Increasing in Popularity

The Peanut Increasing in Popularity.
The peanut is increasing in popu-
larity as a stock food. TO those that
pay five cents a bag for the nuts 1t
may seem strange that anyone should
think OF growing them in sufficient
quantities and cheaply enough 10
make 1t profitable to feed them 10
hogs. Yet the peanut that is fed 10
the hog is not the roasted nut that
has been carefully prepared Tor hu'
man consumption. We would not
think of feeding peanuts prepared Tor
food to hogs any more thah
we would think of feeding rolled oats
to horses or other farm animals.
The peanut plant is a legume n
so takes nitrogen from the air and In
creases the amount Of that elemeht
in the soil. The land best suited
to the peanut is a loose friable sou
with enough tenacity to hold fertil-
lty. The land should be well drained,
thai water may not stand on 1t. II
is not advised to use barnyard ma
nure except in small quantities. Ihls
would give the plants too much nj
trogen. The chief elements OF food
needed are potassium and phos-
phorus.
A limy soil is not desirable, and an
application of lime is likely to make
many of the nuts unstable. The
color of the nuts is largely affected by
the color of the soil. The dark soils
give dark colored nuts and light soils
light colored nuts. But for feeding
purposes the vines and nuts grown Oh
either colored soil is alike.
The planting Of peanuts is don
early in the spring after all danger
Of frost is passed. The rows are gen
orally made about three feet apart anc
the nuts planted about two feet apar'
in the rows. When the nuts are &c
be used for pasturage or for forage the
Spanish nuts are used, as the vines
grow more upright. The same cult
'ation given corn does for the pea
nuts.
Harvesting is done by blowing alont
the rows, but not touching the vines
or nuts. This loosens the roots ant
the vines with the nuts on them cal
then be pulled and stacked aroun
posts, where they dry. A current o
air should be able to pass among thu
roots to thoroughly dry them out.
The Falls City tribune., 1905-02-10
Money from Feed.

One man feeds hens at q cost Of
70 cents per year and another man
feeds hens at a cost Of S1.00 per year.
The man that saves 20 cents per hen
may think that he is making money
by his economy. Very often this will
prove pot to be the case. The man
that has taken the trouble to feed his
fowls on a mixed ration with consid-
cradle meat and ground bone, ground
oats and a variety Of grains and other
forms OF heterogeneous feed is not able
TO get the cost OF the ration under q
dollar a year
The man hat feeds his fowls at q
cost Of Is cents per year will be
found to be feeding a very large
amount Of corn. Now for the results.
The man hat feeds the more expen-
sivo ration is generally getting eggs
all through the winter and Is selling
them at t~hirty-hVG or forty cents a
dozen. The other man is getting no
eggs till the winter begins to melt
into spring and then has to sell them
at ID and 20 cents per dozen. The
man that feeds the more expensive
ration makes money, and the other
man does not.
1t is not a question OF which "a.
ton is cheaper. The real question
Is how to make the feed fed pay for
its cost and a margin of difference,
which we call profit. The hen is but
a machine to take the feed we raise
or buy and change it into e product
that is worth more than the raw
product.
The Falls City tribune., 1905-02-10
Locked Up Plant Fertility.

The problem OF rendering his poor
soil more productive, and his good
soil still better, Is one in which every
farmer of to-day is interested. we
venture the statement that Of all the
"run down" or abandoned farms In the
United States there Is not one which
could not be made productive again II
proper methods of handling the SOIL
were employed.
The failure OF land to yield a crop
Is not due in most cases to a lack OF
plant food in the soil. Results OF
chemical analyses show that in aver
age soils throughout the country there
Is in the first eight inches enough nj
trogen to last 80 years, enough phos-
phoric acid to last 500 years, and
enough potash to last 1000 years.
Why, then, If the soil contains SUCH
stores OF plant food, does 1t fail 10
support crops Simply because these
elements are locked up in such cheml-
cal combination that the plants are
unable to utilize them.
h great problem, then, of modern
agriculture is not entirely the con-
servation of plant food in the soil, but
rather the unlocking of the rich stores
already in the soil, and placing them
in a condition to be assimilated by
plants. This unlocking process is car
ried on naturally by the soil micro
organisms.
Plants, from the mightiest forest
tree to the tiniest blade of grass, CON
sist Of a complex combination OF mi
croscopic cells, each cell containing
protoplasm. This %protoplasm is con-
tinually changing, taking up food
which is brought to it in the sap, and
casting off its waste products in much
the same name as the protoplasm in
the animal body.
Bacteria are also plants consisting,
however, of but a single cell filled with
protoplasm, which, like that Of the
higher plants, is continually active in
assimilating from the surrounding me
dunn the food elements necessary for
it's maintenance. These myriads OF
little plants, invisible to the naked
eye, in taking their food from the
chemical compounds of the soil, pro.
uuN' III IIOoe CoLHpOuuuS Ju"' SNN
changes necessary to render them
useful to the higher plants in making
their growth.
In order that bacterial activity may
go on with undiminished vigor, there
are certain conditions Of the soil which
must be provided, certain require
ments of the bacteria which must BIT
complied with, namely, temperature
moisture, reaction, respiration ant
food supply.-S. f. Edwards.

Trees and Real Estate.

Why does not the absent owner Of a
farm plant a few trees on that farm
every year to improve his property?
The city owner of real estate has long
ago found out that it pays to plant
trees and so in the great tracts Of
land laid out into streets in the vi
cinity of the great cities we see all
kinds of trees planted and cared for.
On all sides of Chicago this is to be
seen. The trees have been potent
factors in drawing people to the sub.
urbs to live. No Il cares to go to a
section where houses stand upon the
open plain. But if there are thrifty
trees it is different. The same ten.
dency is as true of the farm as Of the
town residence.

The Ground Is Frozen.

The ground is frozen and the pOul-
try can get no grit. This fact should
be remembered by every man that
has poultry. 1t is a fact that is often
never thought Of, with the result that
the fowls fall sick from inability to
masticate their food. We use the
word advisedly. The human being
chews food with the teeth to reduce
it to a condition where the juices of
the digestive apparatus can work on
it. The fowl has to have grit for this
same kind of grinding.
Grit ear out. 1t is different from
teeth in this. Teeth renew them
selves to a certain extent and the
part that is being worn away is also
being replaced. The grit in the giz-
gard of the fowl is all the time rap
idly wearing out and must be fire.
uuently renewed. If your hens have
been for a long time without grit,
give them a painful and see what they
UulnK of it.
The pruning Of the grape vines
should be attended to as soon as pos.
sible while they are dormant. Some
growers do the pruning in the fall as
soon as the leaves have fallen. If left
till late in the winter, the sap may
begin to move before the pruning is
done.

A Sad Death.

On Saturday last at 3 O'Clock
the spirit OF one Of Oakley's fair
daughters took its fight, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison Mat
thews were left to mourn the
seemingly premature departure
of an obedient and loving daugh-
ter. Clara Matthews was just
blooming into womanhood when
the grim reaper called, and the
fond hopes Of the parents which
they have been cherishing for the
past 15 years, were suddenly
blighted.
A little more than three weeks
ago Clara was stricken with ty-
phoid which developed a week
ago into acute peritonitis, oc-
casioning a perforation Of the
bowels which caused her death
at the time stated.
Clara was a sweet, lovable
girl and endeared herself to all.
She began a beautiful mission
herc-which She will complete in
the larger and grander world
beyond.
Funeral services were held in
the Stake Tabernacle at 2. p. m.
on Monday at which beautiful
and conso,ing remarks were ten
dered to the bereaved. The. fol-
lowing were the speakers; Ed
