Ferti,ity and Fruit Growing.

At a meeting of horticulturists Pro-
fessor John Craig, of Cornell Univer-
sity, said:
Every modern system of %cultivating
fruits recognizes as a first principle
the right Of the fruit tree to be con-
sidered a specific and sufficient crop
under the soil, or at least to be regard
ed as a crop quite as ~~exhausting in
character as any grown by the farmer.
Unless the fruit grower realizes and
puts into practice the essential part Of
this principle he will fail as a cultiva-
tor of fruits. Experiments in orchard
ing conducted some years ago at the
Cornell Experiment Station proved con-
clusively that 1t cost the soil more to
produce twenty average crops of APP
Piles than twenty average crops OF
wheat. In other words, more fertility
was extracted from the land in grow
ing an acre Of bearing apples for twen-
ty years than in growing twenty con-
secutive crops of wheat. AS a rule
the farmer recognizes the food needs
Of the wheat plant, but too often does
he look upon the apple or fruit tree as
a mere tenant of the soil, and n
which is not to be regarded as a spe-
ci6c crop. Having recognized the prln-
ciples, the particular method of ORCH
arding much be worked out by the fruit
grower himself. This method yill de-
pend upon soil conditions and climate.
Nevertheless, it is safe to say that in
eight cases out of ten that method
which employs clean tillage for at least
part Of the season will be most sue
cessful. 1t is also safe to say that
all secondary crops in orchards are in
furious" ... in.ir=kT

not chase all over the place, dropping
everything else. to get the hens and
their chickens in out of the wet, for the
hen is stationed where there is refuge
all the time, and the chickens can
quickly scoot in through the cracks to
her.
In fact, this system minimizes work,
worry and the percentage of loss, and
it really makes the raising of chickens
with hens a pleasure, as we'll as profit
able.

Results of Feeding,

In the selection Of cattle foods the
farmer should keep in view the results
to be expected. Some foods are more
valuable, pound for pound, than others,
because they differ in the relative pro-
portion of dry substance and its COM
position. The digestive capacity of
each animal should be known to the
farmer. and he should endeavor to
supply its wants.

knowledge is Power.

knowledge is power in agriculture
as we'll as in other professions. The
more a farmer knows about the facts
of agriculture, and the more he prac-
tees what he knows, the more success
full he becomes. The wide awake
farmer is observant, and profits by his
failures as we'll as his successes.

Fill the Pork Barrel.

The farmer who raises a few pigs for
his pork barrel may count the cost and
affirm that pigs do not pay, but where
a few pigs sre raised they will con-
sumo a large amount of material that
would be of no value except for their
use. When the pork barrel is full the
farmer is at least fortified for the
whites with meat and in many cases
where no pigs are kept there is a waste
of material that could be utilized with
the aid Of at least me or two young
and thrifty pigs.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe who, at eigh-

with undated vigor, was recently pre-
sented in Il most hattering way by an

mentioned, for 1 never should have
recognized myself from that descrlp-

And ere the orchards bioomed he learned
That all the girl had said was true.

Back from the wars the hero came,
With laurelS resting on his brow,
To find a maiden and to claim
Ful6lment Of her sacred VOW.
He had but one leg to his namc.
He wore an empty sleeve, aiack,
And one glass eye. but he had fame.
And pride was his when he came back.
Oh, shame upon that maiden fair,
Who broke the VOW that she had made
And scorned the wreath he had to wear
, As something that would quickly fade.

THE water in the city mains has
been fearfu1ly roily good share Of
the time this winter and is especially
so now, but the health report of the
city shows that the dirt in the water
is clean dirt, not organic or vegetable
matter injurious to health, and there
fore not dangerous. 1t is unpleasant
to drink such water, but the reports
Of the health officers show that it is
not unhealthy, for the city has been
singularly free from diseases caused
by bad water. Perhaps when the
water commissioners extend the in
take to prevent ice b1ockades we will
get rid of the dirty water in the mains
at the same time.

Up to Date Economy.

Here are few valuable hints to the
housewife:
When bread begins to grow stale
dampen the crust and put the loaf into
hot oven for ten minutes or slow
one for twenty minutes, when it will
be thoroughly renewed" Or it may
be cut into slices half an inch thick
and toasted over slow fire to dry it
thoroughly, then put away in paper
bag for future use, as ''bed" for
hashed meat or fish, broken or cut into
squares for soups, stewed tomatoes,
etc.
Do not let soap stand in water that
has drained from it when it has been
put from your wet hand.
When the hand soap gets too small
for convenient use put the pieces into
jar, and when sufficient pieces have
been saved cover with hot water.
When cooled you should have a nice
sized cake of soap.

IT is reported in New York that the
family of the late John A. Mccall is
to sue certain trustees of the New
York Life Insurance company be-
cause oftheir failure to come forward
and relieve him of some Of the fnan-
cial and moral responsibility for the
acts so severely criticised by the in
vestigating committee. 1t is unlikely
that Mccall acted entirely on his own
initiative and possibility in such
important matters, although whom the
investigation came he assumed all re-
sponsibi1ity for them and as far as
possible took all the blame, and if a
suit will disclose who herewith him,
by all means let his family start one.

KENosHA has forged ahead rapidly
in the last few years. It's progress
has been steady and is based on some
thing more substantial than any
boom, and the prospects for continued
prosperity were never brighter. There
is only one thing in sight that can
check our growth and that is mistake
at the coming election which will
brighten investors away, and we do
not believe that the people are going
to make any mistake. Unless all
signs fail they are going to turn the
grating element down and put
upright honest men who are not look
ing for anything on the side and in
whom investors can have confidence
in charge of the city's business.

DEMOCRATIC DOLLAR DINNER
Roosevelt Charged with Stealing
Democratic Thunder, and Still Not
Up to the Mark.

Lincoln, Neb., March NEARLY 400
Democrats from Nebraska, with many
from adjoining sizes, gathered for
their annual dc ar dinner There
were eight set speeches, and the key
note in nearly all was corporation dom
ination in the state and nation, and al
legged inability of a Republican presi-
dent, with Republican senate and
house, to bring about the reforms
which the people demand Mild praise
was given Roosevelt by some of the
speakers for what was declared an evil
dent effort to minimize some of the
abuses prevailing.
But he had, it was declared, appro-
priated the reforms long advocated by
w. j. Bryan and Enumerated in Nebras-
ka Democratic platforms and those OF
other states. The mention Of Bryan's
name was the signal for enthusiastic
cheering, and in some addresses he
was lauded as the logical leader and
bestowed Democrat Of Nebraska and
the country.
