Best Apple Tree Soil
BY II. J. Wilder. Horticultural Scientist.

There is great difference between
sandy soil, a heavy clay soil and
medium soil, which is found where
bowlder clay is found. Apple trees
grown on deep sandy soil produce
fruit of quite good quality, but such
orchards are very short lived, and it
does not pay to plant large CONNER.
cial orchards where this kind of soil
must be used On the other hand, the
very heavy clay soil is not very de-
sirable, although it is better than the
sandy soil. The trees live longer on
the heavy clay soil, but the fruit is
of inferior quality. The plant is sell
dom good, and the apples have what
is called greasy" skins. The most
successful orchards of to-day are
grown on soil midway between
these two.

Various Forms Of Hay Fork
Derricks for Stacking Hay.

There are variety of methods OF
hay for stackers for hay, four of which
are shown in the accompanying illus.
trations, which in the main explain
themselves. The first provides for
the erection of three heavy poles.
These poles may be any length de.
sired according to the height Of the
stack. Good height, however, is de-
sirable. Those in the illustration are
about 36 feet high.
The posts in the foreground are set
20 feet apart at the base. At the top
they are brought together and con-

nected by 2x6 firmly spiked to the
two uprights. Opposite to these two
poles is single one, to the top Of
which is fastened the end OF the fork
rope. A rope runs over the top Of the
single pole, across to point over the
pulley on the cross piece of the A,
and then to the ground on both sides,
where it is firmly fastened to stake
or tree. The fork is attached to the
horse rope, either as single rope or
doubled for a tackle. This rigging Is
practically stationary. AS the poles

Home Cheese Making
BY 6. F. Doane. ". S. Department of
Agriculture.

Use milk three or four hours old
that has been held at about 70 de-
grees, and which has not as yet COM
menced to sour. Heat to about sc de-
grees, add commercial rennet at the
rate OF three ounces or IS (cubic
centimeters) to 1000 pounds milk.
Allow to coaSulate for about 80 to 40
minutes, break the curd with
spoon or three-cornered stick until
the particles are the size of the end
of the small finger; heat slowly to
about 100 degrees, stirring almost
constantly in the meanwhile, and al
low to stand at 100 degrees until the
curd becomes very firm.
A few experiments along this line
will show about how firm the curd
needs to be, but roughly it may be
stated that it will require about two
and Cne-half hours from the time the
curd is broken. Drain off the whey,
stir the curd for Is or 20 minutes, al
lowing to cool slowly. Salt at the
rate Of two and one-half pounds salt
per 1000 pounds Of milk; put in
mold, square or round, as desired,
and apply considerable pressure. The
amount of pressure required is rath-
err indefinite, but should not be less
than 100 pounds to each cheese. The
utensils required are thermometer,
a tin vessel for heating and a meas.
ure for measuring the rennet extract.
All of these articles, including the
rennet extract, can be purchased
from any supply house.

already described. The method of
handling the fork and rope is clearly
brought out in the cut. Almost any
variation desired is possible, however.
Such derrick as this is not neces.
sarily stationary, but when put up
they are often located where they can
be left undisturbed as long as possible.
An arrangement of derrick in the
form of tripod is shown in our third
picture. For building a round stack,
this arrangement of the poles answers
an excellent purpose. The size Of the
stack that may be built depends al.
most entirely upon the length Of the
poles used and the spread given at the
bottom. At the top they may be con.
nected with an inch bolt running
through the three poles or by wrap

Great Is an Education.

1t is easy enough for a man to take
2-cent pencil and a cents worth of
writing paper and figure how he could
rake s1.000.G00 by running a corner
on wheat.
That is the advantage of having a
common school education. A man may
have gone through only two or three
grades in school. yet he should be
able to do this in single evening
without biting more than two inches

her heart, nodding determinedly. as
she looked at the handsome youth be-
fore her, who now stood with his
downcast eyes upon the ground.
They were almost out of the yew-
tree walk and the voice of the prln-
cess carried far, like that of most very
impulsiye persons. 1t reached the
ears of a gay young fashionable, who
had just dismounted at the gate
which led from the rose garden into
the wing of the palace inhabited by
the Princess Margaret and her suite.
Now" said the princess, 81 will

me whether this is according to the
best traditions of Plassenburg," And
taking his face between her hands,
she kissed him rapidly upon either
cheek and then upon the lips.
"There," she said, Il wonder what
my noble brothers would say to that,
I will show them that Margaret OF
Courtland can choose both whom she
will kiss and whom she will marry"
And flashing away from him like a
strong-winged bird she fed upward
into her chambers. Then. somewhat
dazed by the rapid succession of emo
tions, Johann the secretary stepped
out of the green gloom of the yew
tree walk into the broad glare of the
September sun and found himself
face to face with Prince Wasp.

Rural Love.

Theocritus never sang. about a love
affair Oklahoma Dave" Payne once
had. Payne lived on farm when a
10y. and his raiment consisted of a
lirsey sack with holes for his head
end arms. He was deeply in love with
a relghbor farm girl. One evening he
went over and sparked the girl while
she was milking the COW. She sat
on one side of the COW and he squat
ted on the other, so he could look
her in the eye while she milked Dave
felt his love for the girl growing rap

way Something warm would chase
itself up and down his spinal column.

against the issuance of permits to females

organs about the streets The complaint
stated that the refusal TO grant such per-
mits Will prevent a great evil that has
shocked the moral sense of the italian
residents of the District. In his response
to the communication, Maj. Sylvester in
formed the senders of 1t that no complaint
had ever been made that women accom-

treated. He also called attention 10 the
fact that only one permit of the kind is In

that permit Is Mrs Theresa Morisi and
