Horticultural Notes
BY Frank Sirnons

Last winter decided to write
some horticultural notes for one of
our local papers. These notes were
accepted and published by the Bis
marck Tribune.
Although there were many season
able notes I would have been pleased
to write last summer, / could not
find time. AS the farmer is a very
busy man during the summer doubt
if he would have had time to read
them after reading all the political
matter published which of course he
had to read to get the worth of his
subscription. Well, as politics are
over and the Office holders will have
plenty of luxuries and a general good
time at his expense he will have
time during the long winter evenings
to read, think and plan for his home
comforts and pleasures.
These notes were read by many in
terested in growing trees, fruits and
shrubery, who have requested me to
write, giving them the results of some
of my experiments. Their, efforts
to grow trees and fruit have been a
total failure ii. as.
Legislation.
One of the first and most important
points to consider in herthculture al
the present time is action by our leg
islature. giving the people some pro.
lection from the nursery agents,
who are gathering in thousands OF
the settlers hard EARNED dollars fol
nursery stock that fails to grow.
The farmer has practically no pro
lection or redress. The money is
worse than wasted as it discourage
the farmer in his efforts.
| Horticultural Society.
The second most important point
for the consideration of the people, il
the encouragement and support of oul
state horticultural society by our legis
lature as given by the state of Min
nesota. With such support as oul
state can give all those interested II
horticulture can be reached and tht
necessary information for successful
growing of trees and fruits be di:
tributed. Thus the thousands of do
lars annually expended for fruit ship
ped long distances, can be saved tt
our state.
I Can trees and fruit be grown sue
cessfully and cheaply with the nat
ural rainfall of our state? Yes. w,
have the fertility, the ideal atmos
phere and sunshine. What to plant
how to conserve the moisture, how tt
prepare the ground, plant cultivate
i and prune and protect, must be learn
ed by our people. The best way tt
secure the information is to join th,
North Dakota Horticultural society
| by sending 81 to o. o. Churchill, sec
retary, Agricultural College, at Fargo

The ordinary way of preparing th,
| ground, planting, cultivating, protect
ing and pruning as practical in
moist climate, are reversed in Nortl

DoN'Ts FOR CHRISTMAS.

"A postmaster who has had expert
ence with the miscarriage of par
cells and who knows how necessary
it is for ordinary care to be exercised
in preparing parcels for mailing at
such a busy time as Christmas. COM
piles the following valuable list of
@don'ts' for those who think of send
ing Christmas parcels by mail:
Don't do up a parcel with such
poor wrapping paper or in such a finn
sy manner that the wrapper may be
easily torn and separated from the
contents.
Don't fail to put your name and
address, preceded by the word from
ON the upper aeft-hand corner Of ev-
cry piece Of mail. :.
Don't fail to give the full address
street and number, town, city, coun-
fy and state of destination.
Don't mail a parcel without pre-
: yiousiy weighing it to ascertain the
amount OF postage required.
Don't place handk kerchiefs, neck
ties or other articles of merchandise
in packages of printed matter unless
You prefer to pay the higher rate of
postage on the whole.
Don't seal or wrap parcels in such
manner that their contents may not
be easily examined, unless you in
tend to pay letter rates of postage.
Don't use / and 2-cent stamps for
postage on heavy packages Use the
larger denominations. 1t saves you
trouble in afixing them, and saves
lime and work in the postofice
Don't use tags or labels exclusive
" for addresses, as they are liable to
become separated from the pack
ages. Write directions on wrappers
also. s5
Don't seal up pacakges containing
photographs, pictures, Christmas
cards, New Years cards, and mark
them photo only books or printed
matter, as the sealing will subject
them to letter rates of postage.
Don't hesitate to write any form OF
presentation of Merry Christmas,
Happy New Year Compliments OF
the season, or any writing Of that
nature of an important character. II
is encouraged and especially provided
Tor in the postal regulations.
Don't fail to register valuable let.
ters and packages. The government
insures their safe delivery and the
extra cost is but cents.
Don't mail sealed packages 81
merchandise to Canada, and Mexico
and Cuba. The rates to those eoun.
tries for such matter are the same as
in the United States viz, cent per
ounce when unseaied.
Don't mail parcels of merchandise
to foreign countries except by the
parcels post system, and only at the
main postofhce. The rate is IL cents
4 pound; limit of weight IL pounds.

Mr.. Jackling's Statement.
U. S. COMPANY IS
MAKING GOOD IN MEXICO

The Real del Monte company owned
by the United States Smelling, Refining
& Mining company. is now returning the
parent company substantial net earnings.
At the time these Mexican properties were
purchased ii was recognized that II would
be necessary TO introduce modern meth
DDS, abandon the old Mexican machinery,
install modern and replace the old patio
plants used by the Mexican owners for
the extraction of the metals. by modern
cyanide mills, says the Boston News Blu
reau.
Two million five hundred thousand dol
lars In gold was paid for the properties
originally, and 81. 100000 was provided for
new construction. The company planned
to equip fourteen of the existing shafts
and erect two complete concentration-cy-
anide plants of 200 tons daily capacity each
for the treatment of the low grade ores.
one at Loretto on the Pachuca end of the
property. and the other at Guerrero. some
miles distant.
per cent of all the construction work on
the properties is complete. so that the
construction Is practically closed.
The Loretto mill is running about 20
per cent capacity, treating 150 tons per
day. and the Guerrero mill is running
about 80 per cent capacity. treating 135
tons per day. a total of 2S5 tons of ore
per day. Within 80 days these mills should
be attuned and running full capacity. In
addition, the first-class ore is shipped di-
rect to the American Metal company s
smelter in Mexico.
The United States Smelling company is
now working about $500 men. The prop
erty of the Real del Monte Is of enor-
nous extent and is described as a large
mining district rather than as a mine.
The company owns AGO acres of mineral
lands and 10000 acres of agricultural
lands On the mineral lands there are 179
different mines and the company is now
operating nine shafts out of total of As
shafts on the properties.
OF the agricultural lands. about 10000
acres are under cultivation, and they have
been highly profitable A good portion
of the territory is timber land, so that
the company has its own timber supply.
1t has taken two years to bring this
property to the present stage of develop
ment, and the total cost of construction
has only exceeded the original estimates
of two years ago by 100000.
1t Is expected that the Real del Monte,
when in full operation. will return the
United States company 100000 net Amer
lean currency per annum at a minimum.
The ores carry gold and silver values in
tine proportion of about So per cent silver
and 2O-per cent gold, and the company's
engineers have reported the supply Of
good milling ore as practically inexhaust-
IDLE.

sious Twelve months operations, says
the Boston News Bureau.

oti,ciaI flgures, covering that company s
detailed costs of treating Osccola rock
ior the year ended April 30. 1906 This is
the first time that figures Of this kind
nave appeared in print.
me Calumet & Hecla company has been
accused IN various quarters of wasteful
metnods. and IL has been stated that
only the extraordinary richness OF the
congiomerate lode enabled the company
20 conceal It's, operating extravagances.
The figures herewith would seem to
disprove the allegation that in the treat
ment OF rock from Osceoia lode the COM
pany can be accused OF excessive treat
ment costs. For the year erfed April 80
1895, Calumet g. Hecla treated only Inn
lied amount of rock from this lode, as
the company was then and still is sending
10 the mill only rock taken out In the
process OF opening up this lode. OF course
II goes without saying that operating
costs are much greater per unit of out
put when the production is not at the
maximum.
Calumet's cost of treating Osceola
amygdaloid rock for the year above men
toned was 1850 per ton: excluding trans
portation the cost was sl.4S5 per ton. The
cost of the Osceola company In 1905, In
Guiding transportation. is stated by Cen
eral Manager MacNaughton of the Calu-
met company to have been Sl-T per ton

ures.
The details of Calumet's cost of min
Ing and milling Osceola rock for the year
ended April 30, 1906 we give herewith per
