Continuous Wire Fencing.

The Iron Age is authority for the
statement that wire fencing is now
produced in continuous rolls by auto
matte electric welders. A number OF
galvanized wires are fed from reels
arranged vertically and parallel tc
each other, while from other reels ar
ranged transversely vertical lengths OF
wire are placed across the horizontal
wires first mentioned.
Where these wires intersect they
are electrically welded, when another
section moves forward automatically
and the process repeated.

Potatoes from Small Seed.

Considerable argument is rife
among writer's as to the relative value
of small and medium or large tubers,
for use as seed. 1t is claimed that
the small tuber will often generally,
perhaps produce as large and fine re-
suits as the larger tubers used for
seed. We believe this claim is open
to question at least beyond the first
generation, for it is safe to say that
degeneration can only be the result
from planting the small tubers a num-
Der Of seasons in succession. This
seems to be a logical conclusion to
reach. On the other hand, it is quite
as logical to assume that the fine me-
dunn or large tuber, containing as it
must all the vigor and fine points of
the variety, will produce first-class
progeny and, we believe, this is es-
sentially the case when the seed tu-
bers are selected from ones own prod
uct and selected at the proper time and
properly cared for. If the seed pota-
toes are selected from the bin, be the
selection from small or the large tu-
they are wanted for use, it must notzbe
expected that they will give as good
results as those which have been prop
erly selected In The fall and properly
cared for. There is a decided saving
OF time, money and fertilizer in the
careful selection Of the seed potatoes,
as any one will discover who will take
the necessary trouble.-Exchange
Increased the Potato Yield.
In a three-year test Of growing pota-
toes after clover at the Ontario Sta
ton, an average increase Of thirty
seven bushels per acre was obtained,
as compared with growing potatoes
without the use Of clover For fertiliz-
ing the land for potatoes the author
recommends the use of a moderate
quantity Of barnyard manure applied
on the clover in the fall, or of we'll
rotted manure used in the spring; or, If
commercial fertilizers are used, an ap-
plication Of 500 to 800 pounds Of or
more per acre In the proportion Of $50
pounds of nitrate Of soda, $50 pounds
of superphosphate, and 200 pounds Of
sulphate or muriate Of potash. An in
crease Of forty bushels per acre was
obtained in a crop cultivated six times,
as compared with one cultivated three
times. In a three-year test spraying
with bordeaux mixture apparently In
creased the yield niDety-four bushels
The cost Of growing an acre Of pota-
toes yielding 300 bushels is estimated
at $52.1

Hickey has adopted what he intends to
be effective methods to prevent tramps

The police will temper this severity
with reason and unfortunates who
reach the city at night and are without

A SEEDLESS APPLE.
GROWN BY COLORADO MAN AND
EXHIBITED AT FAIR.
Much Like the Jonathan But as Solid
as q Potato-Trees Said to Be
Almost Immune to Frosts
and Insects.

st. Louis, Mo.-That 1t Is just as easy
to grow an apple without seeds as 1t
is to grow an orange Is demonstrated
by John F. Spencer. of Grand Junction,
Col. who had an exhibit of seedless ap-
pies in the Horticultural building ut
the worlds fair.
The variety, as yet not technically
named, is much like the Jonathan.
Experts have examined the apple and
have pronounced 1t a wonder. 1t has
been the desire Of apple raisers for
years to produce . variety without
seeds. The core OF an apple takes up
o goodly portion Of the bulk, and the
husks surrounding the seeds are disa-
greeable when taken into the mouth,
not being easily dislodged II caught
In the throat.
The strange thing about the Spencer
apple is that it is absolutely without
seeds or even cells. All the way
through the meat is of the same frm,
ness and Juicy quality.
Placed In another orchard, however,
where bees are gathering stores, 1t is
sometimes the case that a speck OF
pollen from blossoms in the orchard
| containing the "seed" apples may be
deposited by an insect in one of the
"seedless" buds.
The result is a solitary seed In the
heart of the new wonder In pomology
This is without core or even the usual
husk, proving that the seed of an ap'
pie has no relation to the fruit, eX
cept from the standpoint of germina.
ton, neither the flavor nor texture be-
ing in the least affected.
Nobody knows exactly how Spencer
perfected his seedless apple. 1t was
done by a series of grating or bud
ding, the intermingling of varieties
until the desired result was attained
All that anyone has been able to find
out from the originator Is that varie
ties were crossed and r~ecrossed, the
ones containing the least number o.
seeds being used in experimenting.
But why apples containing a mini
mum number of seeds, should, by be
ing budded, produce a variety absolute
ly seedless is what is pulling pomol
ogists.
A peculiar feature of the Spencer
genealogical wonder is that the tree:
do not blossom. A conical-shaped bud
dark green and very compact, makes
its appearance, assuming shape of the
apple without opening. This, It 1!
claimed, renders it almost immune K
frost or ice and makes it impossible FOL
moths or other insects to deposit theil
eggs, as is easily lone when the ordi
nary tree is in bloom.

THE NEW YEAR.

Tradition brings us certain charms
for New Years day. There is an in
herent faculty in the human breast, to
bid a sacred farewell to the old and
to welcome the new with q rainbow
of hope. The past and the future are
joined together. The curtain is folded
over the past and frequently bathed
In tears. The scroll that contains the
mysteries and the problems of the fu-
ture begins to unroll, and we so often
find that new conditions cannot be
measured by the tape line OF past ex-
perience. But il we have lived WISE
ly and well, the tape line OF past ex.
p~erience will lead us into the sunlight
where mysteries will be ~unravelled
and where all problems will yield to a
common-SenSe solution. Our maker
will impose nc duty upon us that we
cannot discharge. The year 1904
brought much disaster and was full of
striking incidents and remarkable
events.
War, in all its terriblenesS, mani
tested itself in the world. Human
blood flowed down the mountain sides
and into the brooks of the valley be-
low. But in spite of all this, the good
overbalanced the bad, and we are
brought face to face with 1905, full
Of hope and trust in God and man.
1904 was a year of almost universal
prosperity. Our own dear land was
most wonderfully blessed. Plenty
smiled upon us and the material pros
perity of all the people was never sc
s~trikingly evident. So let is grid on
our armor. Bury the miSdeeds and
unpleasantness of the past. Shake of
the Shackles Of the past and %endeavor,
in the year 1905, to do more for our.
selves, our families, our friends, oul
country and our God.
