some valuable suggestions for those
who contemplate starting an orchard.
The equipment for running an or
chard costs as much for one acre
as for ten, and the cost for setting
out is very little comparatively. With
an orchard of this size, one can af-
ford to do many things and will be
enthused to do many more in caring
for it which he would not with a
smaller one.
Second, use the greatest care in
choosing varieties. Get prolific ones,
for you must get the bushels if you
expect to get the dollars. In the opin-
ion of Prof. Sears, Ben Davis apple
ought never to be planted. Posi-
bly, it may be allowable in parts of
Maine, but an eastern Ben Davis is
a poor thing. People do not know
the Rome Beauty as they do the Bald
win, the Rhode Island Greening and
the Hubabrdston. Plan to practice
clean cultivation in the orchard if
possible. 1t means better care in so
many other ways. 1t means less bor-
ers, and this is an important point
in many localities.
Fourth, begin to fertilize the or
chard as soon as it is set and keep
it up every year. In the large or
chard of Prof. Sears, each tree is
given one ounce nitrate of soda and
one pound of mixture made at the
rate of five pounds basic Stag or acid
phosphate to furnish phosphoric ac-
id, and three pounds sulphate potash.
This is scattered about the tree, not
close enough to injure the trunk.
The application is made as early as
the land is in good condition in the
spring. For bearing orchards, Prof.
Sears uses 500 pounds of Stag Or acid
phosphate and 800 pounds h~igh-grade
sulphate per acre. j. H. Hale uses
1000 pounds bone meal and 400
pounds muriate potash to the acre.
Either of these formulas is high
feeding, but high feeding pays with
trees as truly as with steers.
Fifth, spray the orchard. 1t isn't
always necessary to spray it during
the first few years, but on the other
hand, it is sometimes necessary il
the trees are to be saved. Rose cha
fers will sometimes drop down upon
them or crawl upon them in the
night, and strong poisons. are neces-
sary to prevent damage. A good
spray pump ought to be bought
when the orchard is set and kept in
readiness. Keep an eye out for the
San Jose scale, and for anything else
which may attack the trees, and KEEP
ahead of them. Sixth, practice thin
ming when trees set heavily. This
gets rid of the defective specimens Of
fruit before the tree has had the
drain of bringing them to full matu-
rity and the result is better fruit fol
that year, and more likelihood of a
crop the following year.
Seventh, handle the fruit will
greatest care, grade it with greatest
accuracy, and pack it with creates
skill and honesty. Pad boxes ant
tables to avoid bruising. Above ant
beyond all, have faith in the indus
try. Talk New England fruit t.
your friends and neighbors and Gus
toners. Tell them we can grow the
finest apples in the world and W,
ought to take hold and recover oul
lost markets, and then practice wha'
you preach.

BREAD PRICES GO UP.
Chicago Bakers Say They Are Compelled
to Do It

Chicago, April 19.-Following in the
wake of the action of Jewish bakers in
Chicago in increasing the price of bread
came today from President Matthias
Schmidinger of the Master Bakers as
ISOLATION that l cent and possibly 2
cents will be tackled onto the price of
bread before May 1. After a thorough
canvass of the situation, Mr.. Schmid-
niger declared that bakers throughout
the city face the alternative of charg-
ing more for their product or going into
bankruptcy.
The high cost of -four is not the
only problem confronting the bakers
of Chicago. Their employees, including
the bakery wagon drivers, are demand
ing more wages. More than so bakers
in this city have been driven out of
business within a comparatively short
time on account of the high prices for
materials.
James A. Patten, leader in the big
wheat campaign, remained at his home
in Evanston today and no comment
coming from him. The "wheat wiz
ard - is planning to unload more of his

shaken in his belief that wheat prices
will continue to go upward.
Flour dealers say the highest price
being paid for flour in Chicago today
is $3.50 a barrel. If wheat goes

On account of the heavy cost Of

turned to Butte from New York.
The lengthy litigation against rela-
tives of the late Andrew J. Davis, q
wealthy Butte mineowner, by Mrs. Eva
Ingersoll of Dobbs Ferry, N. Y, widow
of the late Robert G.. Ingersoll, ended
recently when Judge William L. Put
nam awarded Mrs. Ingersoll $13s,810
with interest and costs. Following the
death of Mr.. Davis certain of his rela
tives engaged Colonel Ingersoll as coun
sci in an effort to break the will, agree
ing to pay him 100000. After Colone
Ingersoll died, the Davis relatives re
fused to pay the widow, claiming that
the services called for had not beer
fully performed.
Mrs Ingersoll then brought suit il
the United States circuit court to re
cover 100000 from Henry A. Roo
of Lowell, Joseph A. Coram of Boston
and others who had made the con
tracts.
The court decided in her favor, ant
the case was appealed to the United
States circuit court of appeals, whicl
reversed the verdict. Mrs. Ingersol
then took the case to the United State
supreme court, which reversed the de
cision of the court of appeals.
As result of this decision Judg

WHEAT GROWERS HAPPY.
Prospects for a Bumper Crop Are Bes
Since 1901.

Wheat growers in the Palouse and
Big Bend districts, taking in Is coun-
ties in eastern Washington, which
yielded 4O,75O,000 bushels in 1907, are
in a happy mood, as the prospects for
bumper crop have not been better
since the spring of 1901. Fall sown
wheat came through in excellent condi.
tion and spring sowing is nearly COM
pleted. The season is fully two weeks
in advance of former years, and ranch
ers look upon this as good sign for
the spring crop. The ground received
an abundance of winter rain and the
moisture has penetrated to a greater
depth than at any time in the last five
years. While the crop of 1908 was
under 30,000,000 bushels, most of the
farmers received more for their grain
than in the banner year of the country,
because of high prices. Others who heid
their grain during the winter are now
reaping the benefit of the unusually
high price. There is little wheat in the
district this spring. and with the com
bination of the producers in Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington this means that
buyers will have to increase their bids
to bring out any grain. Elevator mer
and mill buyers predict that all kinds
