Money I'm Fruit Growing.

There is big money in fruit grow
Ing, but an element of uncertainty
and speculation enters into 1t to a
large extent, according to Professor
T. c. Karns, the Tennessee farming
authority. The uncertainty of crops
is the greatest drawback What any
season may bring forth in the way
OF late spring frosts is entirely prob
lematical. The numerous diseases
that now infest orchards also deter
many from undertaking the business.
Yet this drawback may be overcome
by scientific culture, spraying, etc.
And still there is big money in the
business to the man of energy who
knows what he is doing. It is true
he must wait few years for his re-
turns. but when they do come they
are abunoant. No little part of the
profit is in the increased value of the
land where orchards are planted
Where the grower can work up a gem
eral interest and have all his neigh
bors go into the business, lands Of
ten rise In four or Ave years from
$40 an acre to 800. Where the
owner desires only to speculate this
appreciation of the land itself pays
him handsomely.

Celery Culture.

please give us through your pa
per the best way to raise celery, and
the care of it for winter on the farm,
and oblige, f. JONES'"
We are glad to reply to such quer-
les as this; 1t shows that our farmers
are trying for some of the luxurles as
well as the necessities and comforts
OF the table that are within their
reach. Perhaps we ought not to
speak of celery as a luxury, although
quite often 1t is that; it is also one
of the most healthful of vegetables.
But why did not Mr.. j. ask this
question last spring? He must know
that 1t is too late to do anything with
such a plant this season. TO de-
scribe the method of celery culture
now would be a waste of time. The
information would be all forgotten
before planting time next year, and
the number of the Farmer contain.
ing the information would be lost.
So we will give only a few facts re-
garding the soil, its preparation, etc.,
at this time, promising If we are re-

when the season approaches again.
Celery does best in rich, mellow,
sandy loan, moist and yet drained.
Well rotted leaf mold and stable
manure should be used freely. Well
drained muck soil makes good celery
soil, such as prevails along the Kan
kakee River. Such soils should be
treated with potash, but not with nj
trogen. 1t is good plan to grow an
early maturing crop like lettuce,
beans or peas before setting out the
celery If the ground is rich enough.
In this way you get two crops in a
season and fit the soil the better for
the celery plants. The profits of the
crop, If you are growing for the mar
ket, will depend upon the manner and
expense of getting 1t to your custom
ers and your care in handling, etc.
The value of the crop is estimated at
from 800 to 5000 per acre, after
deducting about 500 for expenses Of
Sultivating, handling, etc.-In1iana

Work in Poultry Yard.

Many people are getting tired of
eating pork and old dairy cows, and
are becoming eaters OF chicken, NUT
ton and veal. thus increasing the pos
sibilitles of the sheep and poultry
business.
Farmers make amistake when they
select special purpose fowls The
number Of cokerels hatched and
raised make 1t essential that we do
not lose sight of the money that
comes In from that source.
When we find that we cannot use
a ration for our laying hens that
some one else has used successfully
we may be sure that something is
wrong with our flock or our methods.
AS soon as we find a we'll balanced
ration that produces good results we
should stick to 1t, for changes in the
line of feeding are often expensive
and produce heavy losses.
When poultry can eat and thrive
on all kinds OF food and produce good
results 1t is very good evidence that
they are constitutionally strong

and the next 1t will be too late to
cure him. All of this proves that we
must watch the hogs closely and give
them the best possible care, before
disease gets a foothold. We must be
particularly careful about allowing
contagious disease to get start or
to spread through the herd. There
are many ways of carrying disease
germs from one herd to another.
Strangers, dogs, crows and streams
of water which flow through lots or
pastures where the disease has been
raging are some of the most common.
Circumstances will suggest others.
We must be on the constant lookout
and guard against these wherever
possible.
The hog is a clean animal, and he
is too often forced to be otherwise.
Cleanliness is a very necessary fea-
ture for best results. The feed
troughs and hog houses should be
kept clean, and the animals allowed
to partake of no other feed or water
but that which is clean.-W. II. u, in
Indiana Farmer.

Gathering Air Nitrogen.

Remarkable advance is being made
in the gathering cf nitrogen direct
from the air, without the interven-
ton of nitrogen gathering bacteria.
Several powerful companies in Nor
way have built immense dams across
some of the snow fed rivers of that
country and have developed immense
water powers. This power is used
for the making of electricity, to be
used in the capturing of the nitrogen
of the air. The electricity is passed
through great metal plates in a fur
mace, and the current of air that
passes through the space between
the plates is heated to a very high
temperature. 1t yields up its nitro
gen, which Is deposited in form that
has to be passed over free lime to fix
1t. The lime over which it Is passed
absorbs it, and in this form 1t is sold
under the name of lime nitrogen.
This lime nitrogen is used for fer.
tllizer and takes the place Of nitrate
of soda. The production is row many
thousands OF tons year for each of
the large factories. So great is the
value Of this lime nitrogen for agri-
cultural purposes that companies
are being formed in many countries
TO take advantage of the existence of
great water power and build factories
for the manufacture Of this product
The result is sure to be revolution.
airy. The water power going to waste
in all parts Of the world is beyond
human calculation, and the supply OF
power possible of utilization is with.
out limit.
The whole world Is certain to feel
the effects OF this remarkable devel.
opment. The agriculture of the Old
World will be the first to experience
new stimulation from it. on account
OF the great needs Of the European
lands for nitrogen. The first factories
constructed have been in Europe. and
this will be another reason why the
Europeans will be the first to benefit
by the new manufacture. The sup
ply of nitrogen in American soil has
been greatly depleted in some places,
but not to the extent II has been in
some of the older countries OF the
world. in spite of the efforts of the
| farmers of those countries TO con.
serve the nitrogen.-The Farmers

Feeding the Herd.

L. p. Bailey, president of the Ohio
Board of Agriculture, says his prac-
tlce of feeding the milking herd is as
follows: Grain at 4.45 n. m. Begin
milking at $50. which requires about
one and one-half hours. After milk
ing feed all the silage the cows will
eat up clean. usually about fifteen or
twenty pounds. At 0 a. m, IL wealth
er is not stormy or too cold, the cows
are all turned out 10 water and the
stables freed from all animals. II
weather is favorable they remain out
until p. m, when they are put back
in the stable, and each COW Is given
about one pound Of grain.
This is merely bait to make them
come into the stable and remain in
their stalls until they can be fast
ened. They are then given as much
hay, preferably clover. as they will
eat without waste Begin milking at
p. m. After milking we feed sllage
with grain mixed In IT, The stables
are then closed for the night
For grain feed we use dried brew
ers' grains, gluten feed. molasses
grains, wheat bran, corn and cob
meal. cottonseed and oil meal. We
never use all these foods at once. but
aim to make balanced ration as
near as possible. have been using
sllage for fifteen years. / use round
silos, with wooden hoops inside and
outside two by four inch studding
They are lined on the inside with

Beet Sugar All Right.

owing to an opinion sometimes ex-
pressed that beet sugar is not as sat
isfactory for making preserves and
jellies as cane sugar, the California
Experiment Station studied the ques-
tion under commercial and domestic
conditions. OF 1000 cans Of cherries,
apricots, plums, peaches and pears
prepared with syrups of different
strengths and stored for two years in
cases under rather unfavorable con-
ditions. only six cans from the beet
sugar lot and seven cans from the
cane sugar lot were found to be
spoiled, evidently owing to imperfect
sealing This shows, according to a
report of the station, the utter lack
of foundation for the idea that fruits
do not keep well when preserved with
beet sugar. and that such sugar does
not work well in the cannery."-

A Pathetic Scene.

II am not Hrs. Nation; 1 have no
hatchet; am not. crazy"
These words came from the lips of
Lewis woman as she met her hus-
band face to face in a hotel barroom
the other evening, says the Lewis Pf-
lot. They were directed to the bar
tender and the loungers, as the for
mer handed the woman's husband a
glass of whisky.
She continued: THAT man has not
done days work this winter, and I
am worn out trying to support him
and the rest of the family. / want to
know II something cannot be done to
keep him from destroying his own
life and starving his family?"
The woman was thin and pale. Her
lips quivered as she spoke. Her frail
body could hardly stand the strain of
the unfamiliar environment. AS she
finished the little girl by her side
burst into tears, the bartender took
back the whisky, the abashed hus-
band stood with bowed head, one by
one loungers left the room. Present.
ly the bartender. gazing at the poor
woman, solemnly vowed that the man
should not drink at mis- bar again.
IT was pathetic scene; It was the
last resort of desperate woman. AS
she left the hotel with her husband
and the little girl there was a lesson
too painful for any pen to picture.

New York has 10000 saloons as
against Pennsylvania 1000.
The saloon seeks 20 contro for
corrupt purposes political parties.
The barroom wastes the living of
dependent women and children, and
destroys the productive energy OF the
people.
The Japanese have now had half a
century's exposure TO Western alco-

not going to suffer the fate of their

Though Japan now contains few

never taken to spirits.
Whatever faults are possessed by
the Japanese. few people have ever
