The Tree Psddler.

Inc Vfoe PeooteP.
Having seen q great deal on the
much abused tree peddler, allow me
to say what think on this line. Now
everything has Its inception or source.
and before we indorse or condemn
anything We should look well to its
source. In my opinion the biggest
howl against the despised tree peddler
comes from certain characters of mar
row principles in that direction. and
the majority of these individuals are
those that pose as nurserymen and
; bfticulturists. men that grow nursery
lock by proxy and always manage to
hold a good, fat position.
Now as to the despised tree ped
dler, there may be one now and then
with impure motives, but very large
majority Of them are of a high moral
character, educated and honest, cheer
fully taking up their arduous work of
going out in the country, travelling in
all kinds Of weather and all kinds of
conditions that a man on the road
runs UP against, interesting the farm
ers and landowners in planting orch
ards and teaching them how to care
planter and grower of commercial
orchards. He Is the one that has
caused the farmers to convert their
cheap farming lands into high-priced
commercial orchard lands. He is the
one that has caused the many small
landowners to now live in good houses
with good barns and a nice little bank
account.
Will venture to say this much
despised man never signed a petition
to have a state or an increased state
appropriation. neither does he want
any state aid: he is 4 man OF broad
principles. believes any business
should stand on its own merits, and
at the same time he knows that he has
benefited the man he sold trees to
more than he was benefited himself.
Now, brother nurserymen. let us give
that one his dues. How often does he
go out among the people. interest and
create a desire for good fruit. and
then, because so much has been said
and written about the tree peddlers,
will lose his order, as the farmer may
send his order direct to some nursery.
Is he not entitled to our respect. at
least? How often has face to face
talk with men on the matter of
orchards and fruit growing resulted

In time the arid sections of the

William Smythe in his book on the
Conquest Of Arid America. says: The
great farmer of California is the sue
cessor Of the gold hunter. Both were
spectators. Both looked with con.
tempt upon the matter Of making
living and dreamed only of making a
fortune. OF homes and institutions
they were neither the architects nor
the builders. They sought only to
take the wealth from the soil and
spend it elsewhere. The miner leaves
nothing to commemorate the place
where he gathered gold save the
crumbling novels and empty tin cans.
The FIVE thousand-acre wheat farmer
leaves no monument beyond fields of
repulsive stubble and the shanties of
his 'hoboes."

SAVING and u,,no Manure,

We do very little milking and do
not. tie or atanchiop our cattle. Our
manure il made mostly In sheds or
barns, We having two barns for hay
and stock; the hay is in the center
and stock at The sides. We bed these
cattle sheds heavily all winter. which
is necessary where hogs work over
the manure.
II the winter Is severe or stormy the
sheds fill fast and we are compelled
to hitch to the spreader and clean

usually cornstalks. This is usually
done in February before the ground
breaks up.
With mild winter, the cattle are
out more and then the manure il
made alongside the high board fence.
where we have managers and bed
heavily. The manure made here is
hauled before blowing for corn If the
springs work will permit Of 1t. The
manure made in the sheds and not
hauled before the cattle are turned to
grass is allowed to remain until fall.
and is usually spread on grass land.
We do not make any calculations on
saving liquid manure. OF course all
liquids left in the sheds are saved.
We use plenty of bedding, not so much

ever. We do no composing. We
have used a manure spreader three
seasons and like 1t, for many reasons.
