Wounds on Fruit Trees.

An eastern fruit grower saws
Wounds of any considerable size
should be given a coating of paint or
some other durable substance. A suit.
able dressing must possess two dis.
tinct properties. II must check the
weathering of the wound and prevent
the growth of bacteria and fungi, and
1t must be of such a nature as not to
injure the surrounding bark. The
dressing is of no value in the healing
of the wound, except as 1t prevents
decay. For general purposes, a white
lead paint is most satisfactory. II Is
an antiseptic, and 1t adheres CLOSELY
to the wood. Wax, shellac. tallow, etc.
are lacking in both respects. Bor,
deaux mixture would be an admirable
material for this purpose II It were
more durable.

Creamery Milk Supply.

No creamery should be established
where the milk from 400 or 500 cows
cannot be obtained. Fifteen years ago
II was believed that a creamery could
be successfully run on the milk from
300 to $50 COWS. That may have been
so at that time, bat at the present
m the expenses of running a cream.
cry are very much greater than they
were fifteen years ago. The wages OF
men have advanced very much and
creamery supplies have in some cases
doubled in price. The commissions
Tor selling butter are larger than they
were, because ii costs more 20 run
the establishments Of the commission
men. 1t therefore requires a larger
volume of milk to produce the same
amount OF revenue. Investigations In
the State of Iowa show that a large
number of creameries supplied by less
than 500 cows have been compelled to
suspend operations, due to the fact
thai they could not secure enough milk
TO yield them a profit on their bust
ness. It Is for the advantage of the
farmer to have his creamery supplied
by as many COWS as possible, for the
reason that the less the cost Of max
ing a pound Of butter the greater will
be the price of milk received by the
farmer. Thus in the largest factories
1t costs only one cent per pound for
making butter. This Is equal to four
cents per cwt. of milk. In some Of the
smaller creameries it costs as much
as s.O25 for making a pound of butter.
Every farmer should encourage his
~neighbors to keep more cows If they
are supplying milk to the creamery.
In some cases farmers that are promi.
nent in the production of milk seem
to have a jealousy in relation to the
matter, they being prominent in that
line. But they should understand that
the more cows kept the better it Is for
them. The other men are not COM
peting with them in the production OF
milk, but are cooperating with them;
hat benefits one will benefit the
others. Large creameries seldom fail.
This is because they are able to sell
all their products to the greatest pos
sible advantage. They are able to dis
pose of their buttermilk at large prices
because they can send it in consider.
able quantities to distant markets,
where they can secure permanent Gus.
toners. The small creamery Is un-
able to handle such a trade, and when
they try 1t they frequently lose it be-
cause there comes a time when they
are unable to supply the quantity de.
manded.
The very foundation of successful
creamery work is a large milk supply,
and every mar interested in the
creamery, whether he be the manager,
butter.maker or patron, should labor
for the increase Of the milk supply.
The limited milk supply is the danger
point. 1t is at this point that the
creamery is more likely to fail than at
any other, and If the amount of milk
be too limited to yield a profit on the
returns, no kind of fine butter-making,
no amount of skill in selling, and no
measure of cleanliness about the fac
tory can prevent its being a failure in
ill., A-

piest form of felicitation to the Camp
bells of Cawdor. The tree must be
about five hundred years old, accord
to the most moderate computation, so
that there cannot be very much
freshness" about it at the present
day; but it still has its roots in the
soil and its stem rises through the
floor of one of the dungeons, where it
may still be seen keeping the ancient
legend in countenance.

ooctorins Trees With Chemicals

SoStoTin9 trees win Chemicals.
More than a year ago we called at.
tention to the fact that a certain com
pahy or men were selling to the farm.
ers a process for ~doctoring trees with
d chemical compound, says the Far
mers' Review. The plan was to bore
a hole in the tree ana insert in it
some Kind of a mysterious compound.
GENERALLY the loading agent of the
company went to the orchard, bored
the hole in the trees himself and in.
serted the compound. He claimed that
.nis would protect the trees from all
Minus or blights and all kinds of in.
sects' He charged for his work 90
cents per tree, but literally allowed
the orchardlst to pay half down and
the rest some months later. The alb.
surdlty OF the thing should have pre-.
vented farmers from taking up with
the scheme. We published a warning
at the time these men entered the
field.
ooon we began to receive letters
from Michigan saying that the agents
were working there and that thou.
n OF trees were being treated by
'neIh. In a visit to southern Mich.
gan 'he editor of the Farmers Review
discussed the matter with many
oIcnardlsts and with the director of
tue substation at South Haven. Mr..
farrand as well as other experienced
orchardlsts warned the fruit dealers TO
oe"are oil the fraud, but the agent had
persuaded so many OF them that many
hundreds o. o%rchardists urchase
the treatment from the agent. In one
county alone 10000 trees we're treated
lnls represented SIS, 900, of which half
was paid down, the agent thus receiv.
ing $500.
Later a few trees were treated on
the experimental farm and the com.
pounds were actually taken out and
anaiyZed by the experiment station
men. The compound was found to con.
sist OF some very simple chemical, a
which could in no way affect
the health OF the tree. The thing was
d sWlndle pure and simple. 1t was re.
ported that the agent never returned
10 collect the other so per cent. It is
probable that he never will attempt
10 coiiect 1t, and 1t is further probable
that he never intended to collect it.
IL proved a mistake, however. to
lie trees to be treated on the ey.
perimental farm, IS it gave these
agents an opportunity to say when
they went to the eastern states to be.
gin their work that the process had
been tried and approved at the Mich.
igan station.
We hope that this lesson, though
costly TO the fruit growers of sou,uern
Michigan, will prove of some value 70
other fruit growers that may have the
opportunity to waste their money
upon he same kind of treatment.
The idea is not a new one and has
been worked in various forms in diff.
ferent parts of the country for a great
many years. AS it has PROVED so ex.
ceedingly valuable to the men who
claim to know the secret, it is certain
that they or others will continue 10
work 1t from time 10 time in various
parts of the country.

Fall pigs are very unpopular with
the farmers. This is because they sci.
dom make money out of the fall lit
tiers. The cause of this failure is the
lack of facilities for taking care OF

DUN'S REVIEW.

New York, July 19.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade Will say tomor-
row:
Midsummer conditions are more in evil
dence than at any previous time this
season, although trade continues far in
excess of earlier years and preparations
for fall and winter are undated. Con-
fdence is the commercial sentiment in
duced by exceptionally favorable crop re-
ports and the absence of any distinctly
adverse factor. wholesale distribution is
very heavy for this period and the major
ity of reports indicate satisfactory and
prompt collections, while at some points
summer stocks are being reduced by
clearance sales. Not only the leading IN
dustries but nearly all manufacturing I'M
dertal0ings have orders assuring activity
well into the future ana scarcity of la
Dor is still the chief complaint. Disputes
as to wages are practically settled at the
soft coal mines, and anthracite collieries
are resuming, the sliding scale giving
hard coal miners an advance of per cent
in July. Evidences of the unexcelled bust
ness during the fiscal year just ended are
Railroad earnings in June were 10.8>per
cent larger than in 1905 and foreign COM
merce at this port for the last year shows
an increase of $1,S99,SS7 in imports, and
loss of $794,622 in exports as compared
with last years figures. Temporary ease
In call money did, not weaken the quota
lions of time loans which reflect the ex-
pectatfon of heavy shipments of currency
to the interior for crop-moving purposes
in the near future.
Many iron furnaces and steel mills have
resumed after a brief season of idleness
for repairs, inventories and settlement of
wage scales, so that the production is
once more very heavy
Textile manufacturing conditions are
not materially altered.
Failures this week numbered 2O2 in the
United States against 22S last year, and
21 in Canada compared with rs year
ago.

FOUNDRY PIG IRON QUIET

New York, July 13.-Bradstreets' sum-
mary of the state of trade will say to-
morrow;
Trade and industry are of very large
volume for an ordinarily quiet mid-sum-
mer period. Glowing crop prospects with
close to record possible yields of wheat
| and corn and large out-turns of potatoes,
barley and cotton have made for conf
dence in placing future orders to an ex-
tent not usual at this early date. Build
| ing continues active without apparent
checking, the iron and steel trades report
shorter than usual summer shut downs
probable and the likelihood of large sur
plus supplies of wheat and corn lead to
the hope that export trade will show ex-
pansion in short time. Late advices are,
however, that low prices check the new
| wheat movement. 1t is safe to say fur
| Their that the railroad interests themselves
have been surprised at the immense vol
ume of business offering which has re-
suited in a gain in gross earnings of over
| the same month a year ago. Prices of
staples as whole show some easing on
| revlsions due to new crop pressure but
on the whole are steady at close to the
| high levels of the year. Almost universal
complaints of the scarcity of all kinds
of labor are con1rmatory of the reports of
! immense activity above noted.
| Reports as to the volume of fall orders
booked point to the year to date being
well in advance of any other on record.
The iron and steel trade is certainly well
sold ahead Pittsburg reporting 25 per cent
more business booked than year ago.
| From nearly all coakets come advices
that dry goods are further sold ahead
than a year ago. Wool is quiet and on
the whole steady.
While foundry pig iron is quiet, prices
are firm, northern grades in the Chicago
market having been advanced 25 to SO
cents a ton and stocks are reported to be
light.
