Not honored then because he wooed

Broad minded higher-souled. there is but one

THE STABLE FLOOR.

There is no doubt about the durabil-
ity and desirability Of cement floors
for stables, for walks and many other
purposes, and where the right kind Of
sand or gravel can be had without
much cost such floors are not expen-
siVe as 70 first cost, and in the long
run would be cheaper than wood The
materials required are Portland ce-

make weak places in the floor, making
it practically worthless. The pro-
portions Of the two should be one of

HEsrNuTs.

1t is not long since the chestnut
was receiving an undue share Of at
tention, but like many another fad
it soon had ITS day. Yet there are
many places where the tree can be
grown to advantage for utilizing waste
ground.
There are three kinds Of ehestnuts
which are cultivated for their fruit
the American, which is the largest,
the European and the Japanese. The
first needs space Of forty feet or
more. It makes a good shade and is
fairly ornamental It is slow grow
ing. Some Of the trees at least have
partially sterile blossoms. Generally,
more than one tree should be planted
if fruit is desired.
The European species needs less
room. about thirty feet. The nuts are
large, but not OF as good quality as
the American. In Spain and Italy
they form an important article Of
food. The trees have been planted
to a considerable extent in this coun-
try, but have not met VITA expecta-
tions.
The Japanese chestnut is smaller,
having a spread Of about twenty feet
The tree is not so easily affected by
disease as the others. The nuts are
large, but Of inferior quality. Some
Of the lately ir.roduced varieties are
as good or better than the European
Japanese chesmuts are noted for
early bearing and productivity.
Both japanese and European chest
nuts have been extensively adFertis-
ed. If early bearing is desired the
Japanese is to be recommended, but
for a standard tree we prefer the
American. However. the most popu-
lar of all is the Paragon which be
longs to the European class.

FAILURE or MISSOURI or
cHARDs.

Mr. A. G. b., Of Tarkio. No., writes.
What shall I do with my orchard
II covers over SIX acres. the best vari-
eties Of apple. They look healthy but
they bear very little and fruit Is
small and wormy. The ground IS seed
ed TO clover nov. 7 raised a crop of
potatoes last year between the rows.
Il blooms full in the spring For what
value the orchard Is 10 me It might
as veil be cut down We used TO get
thousands Of barrels Of apples in this
country. but the last few years, but
few what Is the cause"
Mr A. c. B. Is in the same position
that thousands Of others are. not only
In Missouri. but IN Iowa. Nebraska
and the fruit growing states. For the
last few years fruit growers have. as
a rule. had many obstacles to contend
with. and it is no wonder that some Of
them are losing their nerve. But I be-
lieve that much Of the disaster can be
accounted for 1t win be remembered
that the last few years have been
years Of extremes. the ,4s- one or ex-
cessiye rain fall. Last winter was
very cold and much snow fell through
the central west. In fact. the last
three years have not been ideal years
for orcharding, yet we suspect that
our inquirer has not taken all the up
to-date means Of protecting his or
chard. The conditions have been fav-
orable for all kinds Of fungi These
must be combatted BY using different
spraying compounds, The codling
moth can be easily controlled by the
proper spraying Of the trees early in
the spring with arsenic Of lead.
If the trees are healthy, as he states,
I'VE would not be discouraged at ALL
Every calling and profession has its
ups and downs. and it's the man who
Is persistent and sticks right to It
that makes It win. We have found
in trip this fall Of few hundred
miles, several profitable orchards, but
they have always been where they
have been given judicious and syst
matte spraying, cultivation, pruning,
etc. We are looking for the tide to
turn, and we will have a few years
OF good fruit crops to make up for the
last few years Of scarcity.
