One of the most valuable features o
the International Live Stock Expos
ton at Chicago this year, and which
takes place on the dates of November
18th to December Sd, inclusive, is
which the Land Show" and Apple
Show" are held. These great exhibit
tions, presented at the same time in
the great city of Chicago, that won
derful metropolis of the West, and
the food depot of the world, offers
an unprecedented opportunity to ev-
cry one who is interested in farming
breeding, the development of land.
and the apple-growing industry, such
as has never occurred before, to pay
a visit to Chicago at this time. Apart
from the pleasure of the trip, they
will be able to kill three birds with
n stone, az we'll as do their shop
ping and domestic purchasing at the
most interesting. season of the year.
when the stores are filled with ev-
erything that appeals to everybody.

a fund of practical knowledge that
will be of i~ncalculable value in after

GROWING THE CATALPA TREE
viii Be Big Enough for Telephone
Poles or Fence Posts in About
Fifteen Years.

Going in for a catalpa grove next
spring? These trees will grow into
telephone poles and fence posts in
about fifteen years. An acre of ground
will produce from 5000 to 1000 fence
posts and such posts are now worth
about Is cents each. In fifteen years
they will probably bring twice as
much, as timber is becoming more
scarce every year. One year old trees
are the best to plant. Be sure they
are all healthy and come not too far
from home. Buy none but the va
riety known as "%Speciosa.' You will
have to pay about $40 per 1000 for
good trees.
The ground should be plowed and
put In as good condition as for corn.
The rows ought to be about eight feet
apart and perfectly straight. Use a
corr marker to set them just right.
After they get a good start cut them
back nearly to the ground. Don't be
afraid to cut, as they will be all the
stronger for the pruning. On good
soil where trees are not too much
crowded they will grow from five to
seven feet the first year. Some of the
railroads are going into catalpa grow
ing to get a supply of good trees. but
there is not much danger of overdo-
ing the business.

WHEN TO PLANT EvERGREENS
Best Time to Put Them In Ground Is

A New Jersey farmer writes to know
whether It will be safe 10 plant ever

The best time to plant evergreens
Is early in the spring inst when the

is n mistake TO plant too early and If
the planting is delayed until June the
trees are not apt to do well unless
frequently watered aud mulehsi dur

Some planting Is done In August,
but we do net believe the @iueXpori-

Prevention Better Than Cure.

Preventive measures are always
o practical than remedies, whether
1t be In fighting crop and fruit pests
or diseases which assault the herds
and fiocks. In fighting fruit pests 1t
will be a great deal more effective to
remove and destroy the infested fruit
this year than to try to overcome the
pest next year by spraying. This is
especially true of the cooling moth.
Remove and destroy the worm-eaten
apples as soon as they fall to the
ground. and there will be a great deal
less trouble next year.

Remove every dead tree from the

When spraying do not work with

Put on a pair of rubber gloves.
An orchard will live longer, bear
better and be more profitable by be.
ing we'll cultivated and enriched. Z
A light shade is needed now over
almost everything except chrysanthe-
NUNS and some varieties of roses.
Roses recently cut back, taken up
and re-planted must be judiciously
watered at the roots but plentifully
sprayed overhead.
Thin the growths OF the dahlias.
One or two good strong shoots will
throw more flowers and better than a
score of crowded ones.
Easter lilies just advancing for
bloom should be fed with liquid ma.
nure. changing to clear water when
the buds are well formed.
Now that the fronds on Adiantum
cuneatum are getting heavy and well
developed great care is necessary in
spraying and it is easy to overdo it.
Spraying with nicotine in bright
weather and sprinkling with tobacco
powder when dull are the readiest
methods of destroying black fly in
chrysanthemums.
Bud roses now. Choose healthy
vigorous stock. A very pleasing eff
feet Is had by inserting buds of diff.
ferent varieties. generally teas, on the
same stock. This makes a fine show
