FORTUNE OF AsTORs.
wonderful Growth of the Big E.ts

Wonderful Growth of the Big Estate. Burton J. Hendrick in April McClure's.
 John Jacob was a capitalist of the leisurely. school. He was in no great hurry to benefit by his land operations. The Astor empire could always wait. It is not quite true that he never sold any land, but, in general. he held te- naciously to what he bought. Hardly was he securely interested in the city's most strategic points, however, be- fore it began to grow. As in obedience to a natural law, Its growth almost invariably tended along the line of Astor's purchases Astor himself did nothing to encourage this. The city fathers ran streets through his farms, laid out parks and otherwise embel- lishea the borhoods-usually, however, against Astor's will. He was not fond of paying assessments. even when he gained enormously thereby. Nor did he tempt the population to set tie upon his lands. In fact. his busi- ness policy In every way discouraged 1t. . Any citizen attracted by one of Astor's lots could obtain the use of 1t for twenty-one years. He must erect his dwelling at his own expense and, when the ground lease expired, this dwelling became the abso- lute property of Astor.
 The tenant, meanwhile Tn addition 10 paving rent on the basis of or 6 per cent of the value of the land, paid all the taxes, made all repairs. and became responsible for all charges. Thus year after year Astor compelled his fellow citizens to improve his property. pay his taxes. and a yearly tribute besides. The busy brains and sinews of progressive Americans worked day and night making New oYrk great. and, unconsciously making John Jacob Astor the richest man of his time. When Dewitt Clinton projected the Erie Canal he became the leading pro- moter of the Astor fortune. This. di- verted the great trade of the West to New York, and Increased it's population by hundreds of thousands. In what ever direction these new citizens turned they were obliged to seek their dwelling places on Astor land. The builders of the railroads and steamship lines terminating at New York were equally the builders of the Astor estate. Immigration has dou- bled and tripled 1t.
 Astor had invested about $2.oo0. 0oo in New York real estate. At his death

its value was $S0.o00.0oo. When Will liam B. Astor died. in 1876, it had in- creased to $100,000,000. By 1890. con- petent authorities estimated it at more than $250,000.00 The total Astor holdings now, distributed among sev- eral branches of the family, amount to at least $450, 0,000. Here, evidently. we have a most notable instance of the unearned increment. When John Ja- cob died, The New York Herald, In an editorial article, gravely suggested that his property be divided in two parts. one-half to go to his heirs. the other to the city of New York. For it was not Astor's energy or genius, said The Herald, which had made him so rich; 1t was the city's commerce, its fashion. it's men of progress and en- lightenment, which had converted his goat farms and swamps into the rich- est reat-bearing soil. The owner of great railroads or steel corporations must constantly nurse his fortune. must join in the competition for im- proved methods and the indispensable men, Under these conditions a great fortune Is a great burden, maintained only by constant vigilance. The whole Astor family, however, could sleep for a hundred years, and at the end find that their riches had grown hum drecfold. All the economic and social forces which have made New York the American metropolis nave, entirely without their instigation. also made their wealth.

Hogs Fattened on Cowpeas and Alfalfa. note your request from any farmer who has made a success with any oth- CT crops than cotton to report. I will state that I am a planter. not a farm CT. I was at one time 8 farmer. am gradually returning to my first love. 4 planter Is a sort of agricul- turist who covers a good many acres and makes short crops. A farmer Is a plain country gentleman, who goes af- ter all the soil and clements will al- low him to make. In the spring of 1902, I put eighty-two shoats on three acres of alfalfa until July 10. I did not feed them at all. l gathered corn from five acres July 10. l had planted one bushel of peas per acre in this corn; turned these hogs on this for three weeks. When they had eat en the peavines, had ten acres more ready for them by August 1. When this was eaten I had fifty acres more ready. During this time I went to killing say October IS. These eighty two hogs brought me $700. I did not kill all of them until December Is. I fed no corn at all. While I had these hogs on this sixty-five acres of land, that had made forty bushels corn per acre, I also had ten head of cattle and twelve head of mules in this same pasture without feed and all fat up to December 15.
 This past fall had ninety hogs. no shoats and pigs. thirty head of cattle and fifteen mules, all fat on 125 acres of peavines after a good corn crop was gathered.
 I will plant 400 acres in corn and peas this year and I expect to kill 250 hogs weighing 250 pounds each, from twenty acres of alfalfa pasture until August 1, then put them on peavines. I buy good Northern seed corn, so 1t will mature from July 20 to August 10. Do not buy seed corn too far north.
 Every farmer in the South can fence his corn land and get $S to SIP per acre from peavines, after getting a full crop of corn. Run your corn two years, planting ono bushel of peas per acre. then run your fence to where you have had cotton and plant cotton where you had corn and peas. Raise hogs for yourself and all the surplus you can sell. Reduce cotton acreage; 10,000,000 bales of cotton will bring the South $200, GOO, ,000 moro money than 12,000,- 900 bales will.-Mississippi Correspon- dent Southern Cultivator.

Fruit Tree Bark Beetles.

Specimens of twigs of fruit trees are frequently received at this office pune tursd with little round openings through the outer bark, which in the stone fruits are accompanied with ex- udations of gum. The holes resemble those made by load of shot dlscharg- ed Into the bark from a shotgun. The beetle Is thefore called the shot hole borer. The adult insect is small beetle of uniform black color, except the tips of the wing covers and DOT tions of the legs, which are dull red. It was introduced from Europe and is known as shot hole borer. orchard scolytus and fruit bark beetle.
 Tn the spring the females enter the bark, feeding as they go. thus making galleries between the bark and the san wood. Along the sides of these galleries small cavities are gnawed and in these little pockets the eggs are de- posted. The little grub upon hatch ing starts a little burrow of its own at right angles to that of the mother. When examining a piece of infested branch the two kinds of galleries can easily be distinguished. except where the insects are so numerous that 1t is impossible to distinguish individual galleries The insect pupates in the galleries and upon emerging bores it's way out, ledNlnB tHe AiOt hoio at the place of exit. It completes it's life his tory in from four to six weeks, thus making a number of broods possible during a single season.
 In combating this pest clean culture is the prime requisite. Little good can come from the other measures recom- mended here without keeping the orchard pruned. The brush wood and other remnants of orchards serve as centers of infection. When infested trees are dying 1t is useless to attempt to save them. and all dead and dying parts of a tree should be pruned and

The Pine Culture Method of Soil InOcu-
 IatiOm.

Southern Planter.
 Soil inoculation has become within the past few years a matter of such common experience that 1t is perhaps unnecessary to go into a lengthy dis cussion of what it means, and for what end designed. Primarily 1t is an op- eration undertaken to get a start" with some leguminous crop which ex- perience has shown needs to be sup piled with certain bacteria. Plants of this family (which. in general, bear their seeds in a pod of legume). when grown in contact with the proper bac- teria, form upon their roots small knots pr nodules variously known as nitro gen knots" or nitrogen traps" and which. the farmer now generally recog- nizes as the reason why his clover or ,ow peas plowed under add in no small degree to the crop producing ability of the soil.
 These nodules are the result of irri- kation set up in the root tissues by the bacteria. and the latest views as to their structural nature regard them as rootIsts whose form has been altered by the presence of the organisms As plants differ in the shape. size, and arr rangement of their roots, so those loduleS differ widely with tha various
