AEaiLlhG TRADE.

1t is a pleasing prediction, made a
few days ago by the secretary OF the
Baltimore chamber Of commerce, that
there will be strong foreign demand
for our wheat and that we Will have
an enormous surplus with which to
supply It, One Of the most startling
but apparently least considered of our
foreign trade losses is the falling off
in exports of wheat and manufactured
wheat products. From last years
crop we sold only 43.793,000 bushels,
the lowest point to which our wheat
exports have fallen in thirty-five years.
In 1902 we sent abroad 234 million
bushels. Between 1879 and 1904 wheat
exports fell below 100 million bushels
only twice. In the six years of 1898
1904 they were below 200 million but
once. In 1906 we exported scarcely "A
million bushels of wheat. and our -four
exports which had been averaging be-
tween is million and 30 million barrels.
Tell AWAY TO less tttdIl
The complacency with which the
country views this loss Is an evidence
of the decadence Of the wheat industry
in this country. Few farmers. COM
paratively, are wheat farmers, and the
production of wheat is becoming limit
ed to comparatively small territory.
Wheat, on the majority of the middle
west farms. is an incidental crop. and
it's success or failure incidental. The
big business of the western farmer is
corn. hogs and cattle. The threat OF
a discriminatory tariff against these
stirs the agricultural interest to ac-
tivity. The farmers have forgotten the
days when wheat was king. Hogs and
cattle are the present day mortgage
filters.
But the falling off in the wheat ex-
ports illustrate how easy it is to lose
a market.

PACKARD OF NATIONAL PROMINENCE.

The state of Iowa, and particularly
Marsall county has received a distin-
guished honor in the selection of Gov
ernor S. B. Packard to preside over the
national reciprocity conference to be
held in Chicago on Aug. H. Altho this
conference has been called by the
round robin signatures OF four or five
associations of improved stock breed
ens and livestock, with national associa-
tions Of millers, jobbers and manufact-
urers. the arrangements are in charge
of the editor of the Breeders Gazette,
of Chicago, and the moving spirits
have been the prominent livestock men
of the country.
Iowa received Its first recognition
when these Chicago livestock men
turned Immediately to Governor Cum
minis for their principal speaker, and
a gain. when Cummins was asked to
suggest a chairman, and named the
Marshall county farmer. In both re-
cognitions none can take greater pride
than does the Times Republican, since
the T.-R. has worked shoulder to
shoulder with Governor Cummins and
Governor Packard to promote the
cause of reciprocity and increased
markets abroad.
The choice of Governor Packard to
preside at the Chicago conference Is
the selection Of farmer to assist in a
movement to promote all livestock in
terests but Governor Packard is not
unsl,illed In statecraft and foreign
commerce. Today he is a member OF
the state board of agriculture and sup
erintendent of the wonderfully sue
cessful department of cattle at the
Iowa state fair. He won his title Of
governor by appointment as executive
of the state of Louisiana during re-
construction times and later served
MANY years as United States consul to
Liverpool. Governor Packard is an ar
dent believer in the possibilities of for
e;gn markets for American meats and
grains and manufactured products.
RAYMOND, of the Chicago Tribune, says
that the east Is greatly interested In
the Chicago conference and that pos
sihlv the president will attend.

FEEDING TAs WORK HoRsE.

Many horses are injured by kind
ness which leads to overfeeding, says
John George of Illinois. This is par
ticularly true in summer time. The
horse gets home hot and dry, is given
all the feed he will eat, then led to
the trough where he fills up on water
and goes to work again. In this condi.
ton he is not in shape to eat much
nor can he digest it. What he needs
is first a small drink of cool water,
and then rest. followed in half an hour
with feed of oats and corn
A horse that drinks a large amount
of water soon after eating washes the
food out of his stomach into the mites.
tines, where it is not digested, but
ferments, gives off much gas and
causes more or less disturbance and
distress. When Saturday night comes
the feed should be cut down half, both
in summer and winter, and feed a
bran mash with few carrots in win.
ter and a run in pasture in summer
This cools out the system and the
horse is in better shape for another
week of Hard work.
Hay should not be fed at noon. It is
bulky, not easily digested, particularly
when the horse is at work Many sue
cessful farmers feed half the hay ra-
ton at night and divide the remainder
equally between morning and noon.
If the horse is at hard work, be par
ticular to choose old hay and sound

Mr.. Slmons of Osceola, Ia, writes:
81 am a renter. Have been farming
100 acres for FIVE years. pay cash
rent 81 per acre. Have accumulated
considerable stock about me. Is it adj
visable to continue renting, or go
where land is cheaper and buy? I see
that you travel considerable and write
on agricultural subjects Would you
please give me your opinion on the
above?"
We answer this through this depart
ment, for we find in attending the diff
ferent farmers Institutes throughout
the West that there is in some parts
a general feeling of discomfort. High
rents, high taxes and disposition on
the part of many landlords to not keep
up their places is making tie better
class of tenants look UP farms for
themselves, where they can build their
own homes.
We believe that any farmer who has
got a few hundred dollars ahead can
not afford, under ordinary circum-
stances, to pay from 81 to 81 per acre
rent. If he lives close to good mar
ket where he can carry on truck farm
ing and market everything he grows
directly to the consumer, he might
then make ends meet, but it will re-
quire the greatest business sagacity
and management for the ordinary ten
ant to pay expenses and have any
thing left. We have lately made

interest Of the manufacturer is to put

LAYING DOWN pEAcH TREEs.

In parts of Colorado peach trees are
laid down and covered with soil to
protect against winter This practice
may well be followed in other locali-
ties where peaches are not altogether
hardy, and where they are apt to be
destroyed by late spring frosts. To
be most successful, the practice of
laying down is begun on trees the first
year they are set in the orchard. Some
time in November, after the leaves
have fallen, a circle of earth about
four feet in diameter is removed from
around the tree. Water is then poured
in and the tree worked back and forth
until the roots are loosened and the
tree bent to the ground in the direc-
ton of least resistance. The branches
are then tied together and the tree
covered with burlap, held in place
with earth. A light layer Of earth is
then thrown over the tree, AS the
blossom buds begin to open the fol-
lowing spring the covering is loosened
to admit of light and air. The bios
SONS are exposed to the sun gradually
and after all danger Of frost is con-
sidered over they are raised in an
upright position and held in place by
a couple of crops, In placing the trees
in the upright position the ground is
again watered, and when wet enough
the trees are raised without ditficulty.
Old trees cannot be successfully han
died in this manner. The practice
must be begun with the young trees
and continued. 1t is stated that the
process seems to be in no way detri-
mental to the health of the tree, since
they live as long and bear as much
fruit according to the size of the top
as those grown in peach sections.

CLEAN UP THE ORCHARD.


Between now and freezing weather
an effort should be made to clean up
the rubbish that has gathered through
the summer in the orchard. There are
always quantities of diseased fruit
that may be found in the orchard,
which If permitted to remain during
the winter will start many fungous
diseases in the spring. One of the
most troublesome diseases which af-
feet the plum orchard is the brown
rot. Most Of the fruit attacked by
this disease drops off, although some
OF 1t Will dry up and hang on the tree
over winter. Twigs and leaves may
also be attacked by it, hence the inn
portance OF cleaning up the plum
orchard thoroughly. All diseased fruit
and twigs should be removed and de-
stroyed and If trees have been so
badly damaged as to be half dead

A method Of ascertaining the depth
of water by means of the telephone is
being employed in the German navy
says the Deutches Offizierblatt. Sound
waves are given out which dispense in
all directions at known rate of speed.
Those which strike the ground at the
bottom of the water are reflected and
the times of their dispatch and return
to the instrument are recorded. The
velocity Of the sound wave being
known, it is easy to calculate the dis.
lance traversed. 1t is needless to say
that the recording instrument has to
be extremely sensitive and delicate in
order to give records of any value.

STORED AppLgs eve MOISTURE.

A merchant who has considerable
experience in storing apples says:

LIE 81 WONDERFUL sIzE.

The Youths Companion is authority
for the statement that on the island Of
Cos Cor Kos), in the Mediterranean,
near the coast OF Asia Minor, there
stands an oak twenty-five feet in diam
eter, and which German scientist
believes to be two thousand nine hun
bred years old.
The largest tree In the United States,
according to the Christian Advocate
New York;, is said to be at the foot
of Mount Etna, and is called THE
Chestnut Tree of a Hundred Horses"
It's name came from the report that
Queen Jane OF Aragon, with her princi-
pal nobility, took refuge from violent
storm under its branches. The trunk
is 2O4 feet in circumference. This
would mean nearly 6s feet in diane
ter about four rods-well nigh incred-
ible.
The largest tree in the United States
it is said stands near Bear Creek, on
the north forks Of the Tule river, in
California It measures 1928 feet in
circumference. The giant redwood
tree in Nevada is 119 feet in circum-
ference All these are surely wonder
ful trees.
