FERTILITY AND FRUIT.
Principle Which the Horticulturist
Should Ever Keep Be-
fore Him.

At meeting of horticulturists, Prof.
John Craig, of Cornell university,
said:
Every modern system Of cultivat-
ing fruits recognizes as q first prin-
ciple the right of the fruit tree to be
considered a specific and sufficient
crop under the soil, or at least to be
regarded as crop quite as exhaust
ing in character as any grown by the
farmer. Unless the fruit grower real
ICES and puts into practice the essen
tial part of this principle he will fail
as cultivator of fruits. Experiments
in Orcharding conducted some years
ago at the Cornell Experiment station
proved conclusively that it cost the
soil more to produce 20 average crops
of apples than 20 average crops of
wheat. In other words, more fertility
was extracted from the land in grow
ing an acre of bearing apples for 20
years than in growing 20 consecutive
crops OF wheat. AS rule the farmer
recognizes the food needs of the wheat
plant. but too often does he look upon
the apple or fruit tree as a mere tan
ant of the soil, and one which is not
to be regarded as specific crop Hav-
ing recognized the principle, the par
ticular method of orcharding must be
worked out by the fruit grower him
self. This method will depend upon
soil conditions and climate. Never
theless, it is safe to say that in eight
cases out of ten that method which
employs clean tillage for at least part
OF the season will be most successful.
1t is also safe to say that all secon-
Diary crops in orchards are injurious.

PREFERRED BEING JAILED.
Concealed Burglar Surrendered When
the Music Lessons Took
Effect.

A burglar who entered a Harlem house
suffered unique form of punishment. It
happened, says the New York Press, that
the family he had come to rob were in
conveniently early ,risers, and before he
had half finished lis work he heard a
step on the stairs. Quickly gathering up
his booty, he slipped behind the piano, in
tending to make good his escape as soon
as opportunity offered.
But opportunity did not offer, for it
appeared that the step he had heard was
that of one of the daughters of the house,
who had come down to the lparlor for 4
couple of hours practice before breakfast.
When she had finished another daughter
was standing ready to occupy the stool
for another two hours.
Next followed the music lessons OF
each of the young ladies in turn. After
these lessons were over their brothers VIC
lin teacher appeared, and, seating herself
at the piano, began his accompaniment.
But this was too much. The burglar
rushed from his hiding place.
For heavens sake have me arrested -
he implored "At least there are no
pianos in Jail"

FARM BUTTERMAKlNG.
How the Product May Excel the Ar
ticle Turned Out by the Aver
age Creamery.

With a full knowledge of the science
of modern buttermaking, and a rea-
sonable experience, says one daily
writer, any painstaking dairyman can
produce a better article than is pos
sible for the average creamery. Dairy
butter should bring better price than
creamery prints.
The dairyman can control the con-
dition surrounding his cows, keeping
them clean and healthy, adopting such
methods as will insure perfect and pure
milk and cream from the time it leaves
the stable until packed in the tub
The creamery man can only control
the milk after it reaches the factory.
He knows little of the conditions OF
the stables and COWS from which tho
milk is produced that comes to him.
One or two filthy and careless dairymen
VIII contaminate and faint the whole
supply. The impure bacteria in such
milk multiplies itself several times ev-
cry hour, increasing in geometrical
progression.
The farm dalryman, says New York
Farmer, who avoids these evils will
as soon as the improved qualities of
his products become known, have no
trouble in selling at price correspond
ing with the quality. The writer has
for years been receiving for his butter
several cents per pound more than is
paid for creamery products in the same
markets. There are no conditions in
his dairy except those added by him
self, better than those found on the
average farm.
With product equal or superior to
that produced by the creamery, there
is more profit in making the butter on
the farm than in having it done at
the factory. A considerable ration OF
the farmers of the United States are
finding out this fact and are conduct
ing themselves accordingly They util-
ize the skim milk, which can be done
better when the butter is made on the
farm than when the milk is drawn to
a factory.
The future of farm dairying is in the
hands of the farmer. In the aggregate
the prospects are most fiattering. and
there is little doubt but that in the
near future Prime Dairy will be the
highest price quoted in the markets
1t will be the fault of the individual
dairyman if his product does not come
within the general quotation.
