FRUIT GROWN ON SOD.

The well-known Texas hOrticultur,
list, Mr.. H. NJ. Stringfellow, has com.
municated to Farm and Ranch some
interesting facts about the keeping
qualities CT peaches grown in sod or
chards.. He sent peaches from Texas
to Richmond, Va, Rochester, N. Y,
and Harrisburg, Pa, where they ar
rived in perfect condition without re-
frigeration. He also shipped pears
grown on sod land in car load lots to
Chicago without refrigeration and the
pears arrived there in perfect condi-
ton. Mr. Stringfellow argues that
much of the poor keeping quality OF
fruits and disposition to winterkill or
injure by drouth, ETC., is due to the
cultivation of the orchard.

AN AMATEUR HoTBED.

Enough plants can be started in one
small hotbed to stock good-sized
garden with vegetables and flowers.
There are three types of hotbed
that are within the means of the ord
mary amateur gardener.
The first is the temporary bed in
which the manure is spread on the
top of the ground to the required
depth and a portable frame placed
over it.
The second differs only in having a
shallow pit dug to hold the manure.
The third type is a permanent bed.
the frame being made two and half
feet higher, and built directly in
pit of that depth. In a bed of this
Kind the bottom should be tile-drain-
ed, and it is good plan to cover it
also with a layer of small cobble-
stones or plank. The outside should
be well banked up with manure, earth
or coal ashes.
Inc last type can be used not only
as a hotbed in the early spring, bat
also when the manure and earth are
cleaned out, it can be used in the fall
as storage place for plants that
are not quite hardy, such as tea roses
or for bulbs that are to be forced for
winter bloom.
OF the three forms above mention
ed the first is the easiest and cheap
est to make and therefore the one
best suited to most beginners. The

IN NO HURRY TO MARRY.

Young girls are less eager to mar
ry than they used to be. At one
time a girl who remained unmarried
when she had been out one or two
sea sons was almost a reproach to her
parents and an questionable blot on
the marriage market. But the unmar'
ried have tacitly formed union
which has as silently insisted upon

FOOD FOR HOGS.

1t would be difficult to find a better
food for young hogs and shoats than
two parts (by weighD of wheat. two
parts of corn and one of shorts; or a
ration perhaps of equal weights Of
wheat, corn and shorts.
In Canada it was found that frozen
wheat fed hogs, between sixty-one
and las pounds in weight, gave an
average increase of 1916 pounds per
bushel, while with heavier fattening
hogs from nine to eleven pounds Of
gain was made per bushel.

VALUE OF MULCH IN SUMMER.

Mulch is a covering, either OF
leaves, grass, manure or any protec,
tive material. 1t is natures protec'
tive idea, and without it much of our
wild flora would be impossible. She
covers the flowers of the forest with
q blanket of leaves that protects them
during the bleak days of winter and
through the early days of spring ere
yet the leaves have clothed the tree
and give grateful shade to the plants
at their feet. In meadow and marsh
the thick mat of grass protects those
wildings of the boys and fields, and
we may learn a lesson of nature and
60 and do likewise if we will.
Through the early days of spring,
and, indeed, until the hot dry days
of July, little watering and not a
great deal of cultivating will be need
ed. but with the coming of the sum-
mer heat the demand becomes more
imperative, weeds multiply abnormal
" under the quickening sun, and each
application of water, unless followed
by an early stirring of the soil, results
in a hard baked surface of the beds
in quite liberal quantities. This not
only insures protection to the plants,
but solves the question of what to do
with the lawn clippings Though If
one keeps a horse or chickens that
ought not to be a puzzle.
Before applying the mulch the beds
should be put in thoroughly good
condition-free from weeds and well
cultivated, mellow and free. The
mulch may be brought well up around
the stems of plants having little pro-
tective foliage-as the lilies-and
tucked under the leaves Of low grow
ing plants like pansies. 1t must be
added to from time to time, as II

SHOULD FARMERS ooMBINEy


Successful Farming asks this ques-
ton, and then proceeds to answer it
as follows:
This is an era of combination OF
forces and wealth. Everywhere is the
effort to eliminate competition. 1t is
being agitated and attempted as a
necessary step among farmers. There
is a scene in which combinations
may be beneficial. Theoretically they
work great good. When a great
many individuals combine and agree
not to fight each other it is possible
to cheaper production and manafac-
ture. But the practice does not al
ways follow the theory from the con-
sumer's standpoint. While the arti-
Gle may be more cheaply produced
it is not sold as cheaply as though
there was open competition. The
great issues of the nation today are
based upon the fact that combinations
of capital may and often do result In
monopolies that throttle competition
and cheaper prices. There is the
O1CAChI VI SlCCu IA1I d1hAOS1 1890
ably enters into combinations.
Cooperation is intended to elimin-
ate the middle man so that the pro-
Queer may get greater profits while
the consumer pays no more than De-
fore. Such combinations are all right.
But when farmers desire to combine
on such scale that they can force
prices up indefinitely on what they
sell, in what respect do they differ
from Standard Oil, the beef trust, or
any similar monopoly? If it is moral
ly wrong to force consumers to pay
price fixed by these trusts, then it is
wrong for the farmers to create an
unnatural price for what they sell.
1t is human desire to get even. The
'eye for an eye and tooth for tooth
rule was the old standard of trade re-
lations, and that standard is well en-
trenched in the business of the world
today. The golden rule" is dust COW
cred in most business houses. 1t IS
hard to endure monopolistic tactics IN
others, yet we have no moral right to
become partners in the crime. TWO
wrongs do not make a right. 1t is
far better to prevent the other fell
lows from doing the hoggish act than
by setting in the trough, too. 1t is
more consistent to appeal to the law
makers for just laws and legal re-
lief when we have our own hands
free from a similar guilt. A farmers
monopoly is not one whit better than
a coal owners or meat packers mon
opoly. Let us keep our hands clean
and patiently fight for liberty and
justice. A cooperative movement to
hold produce and string it along in
stead of rushing it all to market at
the same time is a splendid way to
get what is due. The great injury to
farmers is that farm products are
sent to market at once when harvest
ed. Thus it is that the middle man
gobbles up the grain, fruit and vege-
tables and puts them away, and lat
err, sells at an advance. What farm
ers need is to provide storage and
hold some of the produce till some |
time after harvest. This will help |
the weaker brother to get his due,
who by force of circumstances, is
forced to sell as fast as produced. Let
Justice, not greed, be the ruling pas
