GROWING YOUR OWN TREES.
How Windsor Man Adopted a New
Method OF Starting an Orchard.

Some 35 years ago with the help
of neighbor I adopted a new meth
cd of starting an apple orchard.
had bought and started many trees
from different nurserymen, only to
dig up the dead ones and try to
make the sickly ones live. I
hired Mr.. Patterson, a neighbor, TO
dig up 1,500 native seedlings which
he found in the rear of an old-fash-
ioned cider MILL and which were
about the size of pipe stems. He
cut off the tops with a slantlng cut
and grated on scions of my selec-
ton of Northern Spy, Fameuse,
ETC., and brought the lot to me the
following spring. They were put in
rows three feet wide, with trees II
inches distant.
They grew finely and many were
ready to transplant at the end of
the second year; practically all of
them at the end of the third year.
the entire cost to me was s45 and a
little work in cultivating the young
trees. I set out about 1000 of the
best Of them, 500 in one orchard,
and many along the highway and
farm roads near fences. In due time
they began to bear, and the fruit
has always been fine and the trees
healthy. have gathered as many as
300 barrels in favorable years.
My experience with pears was
much the same. I bought 300 trees
raised from native stock in an ad-
Joining town, and sold 100 bushels
annually at 81 and 81 per bushel.
Three Of my neighbors set out ap-
pie orchards the same time I did on
the same plan, and the apples now
maketed from those farms from the
bulk of shipments from this town.
I have found Clapp's Favorite pear
and Spy apple the best. We have
had little trouble from disease.-N.

STATE FORESTER BUSY.
Many Applications For His Services
Extra Inspection Work.

Burlington, July 27.-After the
recent conference of the state for
esters of the Northeastern United
States at New York City, where 1t
became evident that Vermont was
among the states into which pine
disease had bee nimported on pine
seedlings, a vigorous plan of ac
ton was Immediately put into OPP
Grafton. Three students of the Uni
versity of Vermont are now In
specting all the pine plantations
that have been made with this Ger
man stock imported by the state
nursery at the experiment station
and while little evidence of the dis
ease has been found, all the cur
rants and gooseberries near these
plantations have been destroyed, as
the disease can only spread by
m cans of these plants. The author
tiles of the United States depart
ment of agriculture believe that
disease will be speedily wiped out.
While this inspection work makes
an unexpected drain upon the for
estry appropriation the regular
work of the service has not been
interrupted. This consists during
the summer of the investigation Of
the forest conditions of the state
and the advising private owners re-
garding the Management Of their
tract Two students of the Yale
Forest School are now making a
special examination of the serious
burns of last year with a view Of
recommending a more efficient ex-
ecution of the present law as we'll
as any desirable changes in the
law.
In this connection the state for
ester has just appointed fire war
dens in the unorganized towns of
Essex county, as authorized by the
laws of 1906.
The interest in better forest
Management has grown so rapidly
and the demands for a personal
inspection of lands are so numer-
Gus that the state forester is oblig-
ed to group his visits in various
parts of the state so as to save time
to travel. This will also accommo-
date the land owners, for whereas
they are ordinarily charged travel
ing expenses to and from Burlins-
ton, they will during the periods
mentioned below only be charged
expenses from the center nearest
them Applications may be ad-
dressed to A. F. Halves, state for-

ton of Jane Mikales who

COUNSEL AT WORK.
Collecting Evidence for Telephone
Hearing Before Public Service
Commission.

Commission.
The board of directors of the
Board of Trade have employed the
services of Fred L. Laird to act as
counsel for that body at the hear
ing to be held before the Public
Service Commission in the near fu-
ture, with reference to the COM
plants made against the New Eng
land Telephone G. Telegraph Com
pany in the matter of rates. This
action is the result of a decision on
the part of the board to carry their
complaints against the increase in
rates before the commission, and it
is hoped that the case in hand can
be in shape to go TO hearing in a
short time.
M. B. Jones, the attorney for the
telephone company, was in the city
last week to talk over the matter
with Mr.. Laird and the directors,
and it was arranged that copy of
the formal complaint should be sent
to the company this week, for as
yet they have no regular notilca-
tion from the Board of Trade, their
only complaint being from individ-
uals
The commission has not been ask
ed to set a date for the hearing OF
the evidence given as yet, but this
will be attended to when Mr.. Laird
has covered the ground and is in a
position to place all the facts in the
case before that body.
