PEDLGREED FRUIT !.
what Some Practical Growers say
About IT.

What Some Practical Growers Say
About IT.
Is pedigree stock any better than
any other? Is not the word pedigree
fake intended to deceiye!''
This question asked at the last an
nual meeting of New Jersey horticul-
turists evoked the following discus
sion:
Mr. Charles Black Our most prac-
teal growers have exposed it as far as
the pedigree business is concerned. 1t
is only a means of getting more money.
President Skillman Is there any
such thing as a pedigreed plant or
tree2
Mr.. Black think not. The idea is
If j have Baldwin apple tree, and it
succeeds better than the majority of
other trees in the orchard, that if I
keep on propagating from that tree
get better fruit But claim 1t is
only the conditions that are suited bet
ter to that tree that make it yield bet
ter, for if propagate from that tree
and do not give the roots the same
condition do not get any better re
suits.
President Skillman-Ne hear of ped
igreed nuts and pedigraed strawber-
RES. Are they any more than seed
lingsg
Mr. Black-No, sir.
Mr.. Roberts Professor Powell Of
Washington tells US that the best
method Of improving our trees is to
take the best we have and plant them
in row in the orchard If you go to
that row they will vary-one tree will
bear nice fruit and the next tree not
as nice. Go TO the tree that has the
incest fruit and take all the cuttings
from that. That, done again and again,
is the real meaning of pedigreed fruit.
In the hands of a conscientious man
there is no doubt that fruit can be inn
proved, and the authorities at Wash
ington tell us that is the best method
of improving our fruit at this time.
Mr.. Black-There are no real facts
to substantiate that thing at ALL /
do not deny that propagators of fruit
should select their scions from the
most productive trees, but / contend
that Professor Powell or anybody else
cannot fix that character or type mere
" by taking it from tree when the
conditions may differ, for unless we
give the same conditions to the prod
ucts of that tree we cannot have the
same results.

The one word which expresses every
thing with the churning is tempera-
ture, writes Mrs. e. e. lockwood
in National Stockman. The cream
must be kept sufficiently cool after it
has been put in the chHrn to insure the
butter coming in granular form, and
that means that it must not 60 above
Sc degrees or So degrees in hot
weather. The butter comes much more
expeditiously If the churn is filed only
about one-third full; certainly it should
not be more than half full A bar
rel churn is my choice, free from pad
dies or inside rigging of s&y kind.
Cream should be strained into the
churn. Under right conditions cream
should begin to break in twenty to
thirty minutes.
When the cream breaks and butter
granules appear churning should cease.
A cupful of salt for every four gallons
OF cream may be introduced. This will
make no appreciable difference in the
sailing of the butter, but assists very
noticeably in separating it from the
buttermilk A circle of bleaehed but
ter cloth tied over a pail will catch
whatever particles go through with
the wash water. This answers every
purpose of hair sieve and is mex
pensive Ordinarily It is advisable to-
wash butter twice. Flavor is in
| fiuenced by more or less completely
removing the buttermilk. Butter
lightly washed possesses a quicker
flavor, but goes off in quality more
freed from buttermilk. The latter
lacks flavor when first made, but de-
yelops this after a few days Weak
brine is very effectual in remoring all
trace Of milk in the butter and hand
full of salt may be stirred into the last
water Care should be exercised and
the agitation of the churn such that
the granular appearance of the butter
Is not affected in the operation. This
condition must be preserved until aft
er the salt has been added
The Dairy Thermometer.
A glass dairy thermometer costs but
% cents at any drug store or dairy
supply house, yet 1t is inestimable in
its value to the buttermaker. says Mrs.
e. e. lockwood In National Stockman
With it she can foreteI results and
know exactly how the butter is going
to come 1t also enables her to avoid
waste, since a low temperature is nee
essary to exhaustive churning. When
butter comes quickly and looks white
and soft it goes without saying, that
more or less of the fat has gone into
the buttermilk. A sample of it tried
with a Babcock tester might surprise
those unfamiliar with its work In de-
tecting loss.

PRETZELS TO THE GOOD
PLAYERS GAVE FINE sUPPORT TO
 STARKELL.
A Gingery Game Won From ShreVe- port With Kid Busch Playing in Oldtime Form at
 short.

To the brilliancy, ginger and dash of the team back of him Is due the victory of Starkell yesterday, and while he kept his hits scattered except in the fifth and ninth innings, 1t was due to his support that shreveport's score was held down.
 winning there were several pleasing features, one of the principal ones be- ing the return to the game of Kid Busch after being kept on the bench all summer. While he made one error In the ninth inning his game as a whole was a decided improvement on the work of Shiebech at short for the last few games. Busch got one clean hit and a successful sacrifice.
 The other feature was the fact that three men were thown out at the plate two of them from the outfield while the third out at the plate stared the fastest double plays ever seen on the local grounds.
 base running of Brouthers and the pinch hitting of Dominick Mullaney who batted in three of the five runs.
 While the Pirates looked dangerous at the finish still the perfect fielding of the Pretzels saved the day
 Evans was out on hit to Starkell. Kennedy walked and got to second on Weikart's drive to right getting the neatest smoothest and quickest thing of the game. Mullaney Was playing pretty close in and when GilkS hit one down towards first the big fellow scooped 1t up and with a light ming throw got the ball to Manners in time to stop Kennedy as he dashed Charlie Schwartz had darted over and covered the initial sack, Manners fir ing the ball to him like a rifle shot ana stopping GIlks at first completing the fastest double ever seen at Athletic Park.
 Lynch was out on hit to Kennedy and a flattering ovation greeted Kid Busch as the earnest. hardworktng young chap walked to the plate He was out on q bunt to Swann. Schwartz rapped out a beauty over short going to third on Brouthers hit over second. Brouthers started down to steal sec ond and drew the throw to let Schwartz score. Graffis threw to second expect ing the ball to be returned in time to stop Schwartz at the plate. Abstein made one of his own patent throws. the ball going to the grandstand and Schwartz walking over the rubber. Molesworth ended 1t by striking out.
 In the sec0S1d the first two men up were out on infield hits. Graffius drew a walk but Swaun struck out.
 It was one, two three. in the last half
 In the third. Evans walked but Ken nedy and Weikart were out on flies to Busch and Hanley struck out With
