Big Profits in Trees.

Get right away from the idea that
because trees do not grow and ripen
as fast as other crops, forestry in the
woodlot will benefit future genera
tons only Most forest trees will
reach commercial size we'll within an
ordinary lifetime, and many of them
in a much shorter period.
Did it ever occur to you that this
country offers today few investments
which equal in safety and in net re-
turns the thrifty-growing tree of a
commercially valuable kind9 Don't
fall into the way Of thinking that the
only interest which big tree yields
is its annual growth. That in itself
shows fair return. But your trees
are not only increasing in size; they
are also increasing rapidly in value.
A few days work in the woodlot
each year will yield more money for
the same effort that any other work
on the farm. This is a strong state
ment, but the facts bear it out.
The bee. (Earlington, Ky.) 1889-19??, 1906-04-12

the seed can be safely sown in open
ground. Tomatoes, lettuce, early
cabbage, peppers and egg plants ought
all to be sown in the hot bed. Beets
and onions can be forward several
weeks if we'll started in the hot beds;
as also cucumbers, musk and water
melons. Cut turnips in halves,
Scrape out the inside and fill the shells
with rich soil, SOW the seed in these,
and when safe to 60 in the open
ground plants out the entire mass.
Cover them we'll and the shells will
decay, furnishing, both plant food
and moisture and the plants will go
on growing without ever check.

The Garden.

There is no place of ground that has
to grow so large variety of crops as
the garden. 1t is hard to find small
plot that will be ideal for all plants.
There are tropical plants like the
tomato, melon, and bean that would
do better on the south slope of a
sandy soil. Then there are such as
late cabbage parsnips, beets and other
slow growing plants that would do
better on heavy soil with a north
slope.
AS a light soil is more apt to dry
out in midsummer it is necessary to
have water handy to turn on if neceS-
sary or give it constant cultivation to
form dust mulch in case the land is
to be occupied in midsummer.
BY planning to have the extra early
truck on the sandy, south slope, it
will be gone in time to put melons,
early sweet corn and similar crops on
the same ground.
The garden soil should be rich.
Fine, well-rooted manure will give
richness and humuS. If the sand pit
is handy, the farmer could haul few
loads when not busy and scatter that
over portion Of the garden if it need
warming up. BY all means keep the
soil in fine filth, so wheel hoe will
work easily. Poultry and sheep
manure are very good for garden.
Coarse manure, or weed stalks half
plowed under are an abomination and
cause much loss of time and crops.
The bee. (Earlington, Ky.) 1889-19??, 1906-04-12
Onions.

AS money maker, one year with
another, the onion is among the lead
ing garden crops. A good supply
should be grown in the farmers gar
den for home use.
Onions require rich soil not too
sandy, as they must De able to reach
constant moisture. lnaSmuch as the
Young plants are very tender and re-
quire careful wedding, it is best to
SOW them on the soil free from weed
seed, Jumps and stalks of any kind.
Sow early in rows fourteen inches
apart, covering the seed with about
an inch of fine soil pressed down with
a garden rake. Do not allow crust
to form over the rows before the
onions come up.
Sow it so as to avoid very much
thinning of plants which is a tedious
job. About twenty good seed per
foot will give thick enough stand.
If vacancies occur from poor seed fill
in later.
Land used for onions Schould be fall
plowed. Or better than spring plow-
ing, if not fall plowed, is TO disc or
harrow the land instead of blowing,
plank down and SOW the seed. Crop
after crop can be raised on the same
land if it has been kept rich with we'll
rotted manure, and no insect pest has
infested the crop. Such land is
usually free from weeds and is in a
good state of filth. That's the only
reason for successive cropping. Gull
tiyate frequently enough to keep the
ground mellow and free from weeds.
Hand wedding will be necessary.
To get early onions, sets may be
used. Anything from the size Of a
bean to about three-quarterS of an
inch in diameter may be planted with
out danger of their going to seed.
They form new bulbs in advance of
those grown from seed.
Set three inches deep in fine, rich
soil, about three inches apart in rows
a foot Or more apart, Put each bulb

when the doctor set a neighbor's bro

exactly how it was done and rather
anxious TO put her new knowledge into

in the chicken yard broke its leg. The
girl directly announced that she meant

Grapes are in good demand on the
local market. The real season for
grapes begins about the middle OF
the month, at which time New York
grapes come to the local market. The
local grape crop is large and most
of the stock brought to the city is
of excellent quality.
Demand for cantaloupes and water
melons continues without diminishing
Tiptop cantaloupes have taken second
place to Little Gems, on account
dealers say, of the spicy flavor of the

Chicago, Sept. 2.-The wheat mar
ket Saturday was firm because Of
small deliveries on September con
tracts. The amount of these was
smaller than had been expected,
which fact caused active covering by
shorts. with the result that the Sep
TENDER option advanced nearly 1c in
price. This strength was reflected in
other deliveries. but they did not adj
vance materially.
The feature of the market was the
buying of September, which carried
the price of December up to 741sc.
The corn market opened easier on
favorable weather reports and the
probability of increased receipts.
The market became firmer in the

The oats market was stronger, sbut
there was little trading.
With an advance of sc in the price

Indianapolis, Ind. Sept. Re
ceipts Sunday. $500 hogs, 400 cattle
and 100 sheep, against 1851 hogs,
612 cattle and IS sheep a week ago,
and 3,213 hogs, 313 cattle and 152
sheep year ago. For the eight
months ending Friday. total of l.
183 900 hogs arrived, representing an
increase of $500 over the same time
last year. and the actual receipts in
August, 167 500 representing an in
crease of over 10000, compared with
the same time a year ago.
Compared with the supply hereto
fore this week there was a fair run
of hogs, apparently as many as neces-
sary. At the start there was fair
demand from all sources. but ship
pers were the strongest buyers and
sales in general way were sc higher
than yesterday.
There were only slight changes re
corded in prices of hogs from one day
to another this week and finally the
market was higher than the close OF
last week. The first half of the week
saw a reduction over sc in the aver
age. but subsequently with small sup
plies the loss was recovered and at
the extreme close of the week the av-
erage was sc higher than the close
of last week.
AS usual on the closing day of the
week there was a small run of cattle,
and offerings. for the most part. were
rather plain. Consequently, there was
a lack of competition between buyers,
and trade was quiet.
There was also only moderate
run of sheep and lambs and not
enough in all departments to estab-
lish a range of prices. Most of the
offerings were lambs of fair to good
quality, which sold at steady prices
