The ownership Of almost all the land
in Ireland by nonresident English lords
and nobility is the foundation OF much
of the social and political grievance in
that unfortunate country. 1t is the red
rag to the native. Our party was
doing the glorious Killarney country
in a large jaunting-car. The native
driver acted also as guide. Our parti-
cular attention was called to various
places of interest, in an everyday, me-
chanical fashion, by u typical Mike.

OPPORTUNITIES NEAR HOME.
Progressive Towns Offer Excellent
Advantages for Young Men.

Students in sociology have recent
ly expressed pessimistic views as to
chances for the success of young meir
of country districts. There has been
no denying of the fact that the farm
affords splendid opportunity for
those inclined towards pastoral life
but 1t is maintained that of recent
years conditions preclude any great
chances for the average young man
to succeed in the average business
vocation. That is that the channels
for his development are being made
more narrow year after year through
the formation of corporations and
trusts for the control of various in.
dustries. In other words, the CEN
traliZation of business is considered
detrimental to the pursuing of bust
ness in mercantile lines on a small
scale.
This subject is open to wide discus
sion. Cities and towns of the United
States are rapidly building up. The
population of the country 10 increas-
ing wonderfully. With this increase
in population new opportunities pre-
sent themselves for the exercise of
intelligent endeavor. The towns, par
ticularly of the west, are embryo cit
les. and the little village of to-day
will be the large city quarter CEN
fury hence. Almost every town af-
fords the progressive young man a
chance for business success. Oppor-
tunities are plentiful for those who
have the foresight to discover them.
Towns are built up where are certain
natural advantages and their growth
is dependent upon the territory that
they can draw support from. or upon
some particular advantage that they
may possess favorable to manufactur-
ing along certain lines. The oppor-
tunities for young men are to some
extent guaged by the life and prog
ress of the towns. Heads of families
look forward to the time when their
sons may enter into business or pro-
fessional life. Ties of kinship are
strong and few parents care to have
grown sons and daughters far away
from them. In this is discovered a
reason why residents of a rural dis
trict should take more than ordinary
interest in the home town. The more
important the local town the greater
are the opportunities for the young
men of the neighborhoOd engaging in
business in 1t. In thousands of cities
and towns of the United States the
leading business men to-day are the
boys who were farmers sons quar-
ter or a half century ago. In modest
ways they started in business in the
home town, and with the progress of
the town developed as business men.
The opportunities that were opened
to those youths are still open to the
youths of to-day, but remember that
many of these men would not have
been the great business men they are
to-day only for the fact the towns
where they located were progressive
places which gave the opportunity to
succeed.

fewer grades of other varieties Of
trees, but at least three are made of
each. Which is the best to plant is a
mooted question. Some successful
planters prefer the heaviest trees.
while others equally as successful
take medium or lighter grades. Really
more depends on the way the trees
have been grown than upon their
size.

Wood ashes make an excellent ferti.
lizer for the lawn or garden. Apply at
the rate of one to two tons an acre.
An ordinary barrel will hold about 200
pounds.
Thin the fruit. Apples, pears.
peaches and plums are all better for
being thinned. When trees are over
burdened commence early, and thin
until you think that none are left.
In transplanting trees, set them the
same depth or a little deeper than
they were set in the ground before.
II set shallower than formerly, they
are more liable to suffer from lack
OF moisture.
Apply liberal amount of wood
ashes around the base of the pear and
apple trees. 1t may be done with
good results as late as the last of
May in the latitude of the northern
line of Missouri. .....
Stable manure should only be ap-
piled to orchards which have very
poor soils. Then the application
should be very light and made only

good grape trellis can be made by
fastening strips Of the ordinary woven
wire fencing 20 supporting posts. The
fence should not contain more than
eight or nine strands for best results.
We recently made one of this kind
and find 1t satisfactory.

Pruning Old Orchards.

No general rule for pruning can be
given except that all dead branches
should be removed. water sprouts
should be cut out. and If the heads are
too thick the branches that cross or
crowd can be taken out. 1t often hap
pens that in the old orchards that the
growth has become stunted, and II
such is the case 1t is a good plan to
severely cut back the branches.
When the branches are so low as to
make cultivation beneath the trees
difficult, the trouble can often be cor.
rected without cutting off any of the
main branches. by removing the ends
that hang down towards the ground

Year by year the damage done to
the crops of the farm, orchard and
garden by insects and fungous pests
seems to be increasing. Some of these
pests may be blessing in disguise. in
that the remedies used for their Grad
ication have been beneficial in other
respects; but. in order that they may
be successfully combatted. 1t is essen
tial that the farmer know how to
fight them to the best advantage. and
that he have clear idea of the ma
ture of the remedies employed and the
precautions that must be observed in
their use.-Prof. r. Harcourt.

Fruit Growing Requisss intelligence
and Cara

The following article Avm An e1-
cannot fail to interest anyone who is
engaged in fruit growing or who con-
templates engaging in this work:
Some writer figured year or two
since that peach trees had been plant
ed so numerously in the southwest
that it would be a physical impossi-
bility, when these trees reached the
bearing age. to transport the fruit to
the market. In expressing that opinion
the writer forgot the old adage:
There's many slip 'twixt the cup
and the lip" The writer has in mind
an orchard not a thousand miles from
here and of size that would be
called large even in this day Of big
things, In which rs per cent. of the
peach trees died the first year. aA4

There are no established grades of

put out extra heavy trees which cor

and in this way are able to quote
prices which are seemingly low. AS a
rule, eastern nurserymen make more
grades than do those of the west. All
the grades that some make are one,

both height and diameter. The age
