accidents, will live long enough to
amply pay for the tree and all the
labor that we must bestow on it. The
venture, if it may be called that will
prove to be a good investment if the
tree dies at the age of IL or Is years
We know, however, that double that
age may be attained, for there are
apple trees in our older countries
living and bearing at the age of 30
to 40 years. But now l want to say
something that may surprise some of
these people who are anxious to have
their trees live a hundred years or
more I don't want my trees to live
and bear that long. Young trees
bear better fruit than old ones. This
any fruit grower knows. Besides, we
can spray a young tree much easier
and better than we can an old one
that is 80 or 40 feet high. We can
thin the fruit on a small tree with
much less expense and the same is
true of the picking. I can make more
money by growing new trees every
Is or 20 years than I can to take care
of old trees. 1t will pay any man to
dig up his apple trees when they have
been in bearing 10 to Is years and
plant new trees. If I had to do this
would seed the land to clover or
alfalfa for two or three years and then
reset the ground with up-to-date varie-
ties. 1t will pay far better than to
fool away time on old trees with their
heads high in the air We think moth
ing of planting our corn every year
and in good corn countries, make it
pay. The same is true of all our an
nuals. Why should it be thought
strange thing that an apple orchard
should be renewed once or twice in
a lifetime? So you see that I don't
care to know how long an apple tree
will live and bear. I will relegate
that TO the curiosity seekers

The Cultivation of Small Fruits
G.. J. Stewart, Puyallup.


The varieties of berries which eX-
perience has proven the most valuable
to the grower, i. e., best adapted to
the climate, good producers and good
shippers and in good demand are, in
their order, red raspberries, Washing
ton dewberries, Strawberries and late
cherries. 1t may be stated here that
the Washington dewberry" is what
is commonly known as our ever
green blackberry" but is commonly
known in the markets of the East by
it's former name. The varieties of
each which have been found most
adapted to the requirements of the
successful grower are of red raspber-
ries, Cuthbert and Antwerp. The
planting of both varieties is urged
as it tends to lengthen the picking
season. Of blackberries the Wash
ingtOn dewberry and Snider. Straw
berries, the Marshall and Magoon.
Cherries, Lambert, Chilson, Bling and
Oregon late. Currants, Victoria and
Fay's Prolific.
The average production of crates
per acre, when the fruit is in full
bearing, although much higher yields
have been noted are: Raspberries
$50; Strawberries, $50; currants, 25O
Washington dewberry, 300 to $50. The
average net profit has been found to
be- Raspberries, 40 cents; straw
berries, 70 cents; currants, 60 cents
dewberries, so cents
The proper method to use in set
ting the plants is as follows: Rasp-
berries in rows six feet apart and six
feet between each plant Currants
and blackberries same distance. Dew
berries in lows seven feet apart and
between eighteen and twenty feet be-
tween each plant, according to the
richness of the soil. Strawberries in
rows three feet six inches apart and
sixteen inches between each plant.
The season best adapted to the set
ting out of new plants is from De-
cember list to March 18th.
The cost of plants of good quality
Is as follows: Raspberries, So to $40
per thousand; strawberries, SIS per
thousand; blackberries and dewber
ries. B cents to cents each. The cost
or plants and setting of blackberries
and raspberries is about $22 per acre.

1t has been found advisable to grow
either potatoes or strawberries be-
tween the rows of the larger bushes
until they reach the full bearing stage.
OF the two crops potatoes are prefer
able, and their culture should pay all
expenses until the income from the
full matured plants begins. 1t is ad-
vised that the sprouts, the next spring
after setting, should be cut off, thus
causing the plants to stool out. The
proper method of stalking dewberries
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1905-01-01

is to set six-inch posts midway be-
tween the vines in the row and use
four wires, the first pair three feet
from the ground and the second pair
four feet from the ground. Train
two shoots each way, placing the
bearing vines on the upper wires and
the new shoots on the lower ones.

Flocks of Sea Gulls.

1t is not often that sea gulls flock to-

vicinity, though the sight is not uncom-
mon on the lower part of the river. The
passengers aboard the steamer Harry Ran
dali saw such a sight yesterday after
noon, several hundred Of the aquatic
birds having gathered in a bunch in the
river a short distance below the wharf at
Shepherds Landing of the Baltimore and
Ohio railway. The water for several hun
dred yards was white with the birds and
the extraordinary sight attracted much at
tention The birds said to be drawn
to this spot by the wild grasses and small
fish they feed on.

Buoy Broken Loose.

The buoy marking the forks of the
channel leading into Nomini creek on one
side and Curriomen bay on the other is re-
ported to have broken loose from its
mornings and was drifting about with the
tides when the crew of the dredge Balti-
more, working In Nomini, picked the spar
up and anchored it ashore for the buoy
tender when she comes to replace it. The
fact that the buoy is missing will be
brought to the attention of the lighthouse
service authorities.
The lighthouse tender Maple has COM
pleted buoy work along the lower river
and is again in port here, lying at the
lighthouse service pier.
The tender Violet has recently completed
buoy work on the North Carolina sounds
and is at the Portsmouth station.

Special Trip to Fort Washington.

The Randall line steamer Estelle Randall
made Il special trip to Fort Washington
last night to carry down several carloads
of hay for the use Of the animals at the
fort. A quantity of commissary stores
consisting of sugar. coffee, dried fruits and
the like, were also part of the cargo OF
the little steamer. Owing to the heavy in
crease in the quantity of supplies being
sent by the depot quartermaster of the
army in the city to the Potomac forts the
steamer Estelle Randall has to make extra
trips two three times each week in or
der to carry the stuff, and it is stated
larger boat is to be secured and placed on
the route until the rush is over The in
crease in the shipments is caused by the
coming army and navy maneuvers along
the Potomac.

The Financial Standpoint.

This is the chief reason. from the finan-
cer's point of view, why municipal owner
ship is not likely to become a burning issue
here in the near future. The tax rate is
high-the annual rate consisting Of figures
which would surely startle the people of
southern and western cities and cause them
to cry confscation-while the increases in
the assessments made annually upon real
estate valuations are enormous and in
creasing every year. Controller Grout is
at his wits ends to find money for the diff
ferent departments it Is. Even though
Tammany Hall should frame strong plat
form demanding municipal ownership of
public utilities in the most emphatic terms.
1t is difficult to see where the money Is
coming from.
Mayor Mcclellan has taken the wind out
of the sails of his political and personal
rivals by arranging for a municipal light
ing plant, which plant not being designed
to furnish illumination to the general pub

heap in the next few years, because If the
lessons of the past have taught anything

the citys plant is a good enough Morgan

at least will not cost much-probably not
more than $5,OOOO0O.
The little joker, or, better phrased, the

Enormous Cost of Work.

But the fact that half a billion dollars Will
not cover the cost of the subways and tun-
nels planned in Greater New York shows
that a great underground system is only
a matter of time, and that within the next
ten years all of the boroughs of New York,
with the exception of Richmond. which is
Staten Island, will be tied together w4,h I'M
foreground roads. John B. Mcdonald the
engineer who planned the first subway, is
at the head of a construction company, said
to be the largest and most powerful in the
world, and he is asking for the right to eX
pend at least $3.50, 900, 600 in underground
railroads.
The Belmont syndicate. which represents
the financial end of the original subway
proposition. just as John B. Mcdonald was
connected with the engineering end, Is
knocking at the doors of the rapid transit
board with demands for franchises for I'M
dergroad roads which will cost at least
$3.50 coo 600 more. When the great rival
'syndicates are willing to eXpend half a bill
lion dollars in underground rapid transit
within the limits of Greater New York it
is only a question of time before the sub
way fever strikes Chicago. no matter what
the new mayor of that city may say or do
or think.
So far as New York city is concerned the
present craze for subways shows a wonder
full contrast to the feeling manifested
