The vicissitudes into which this

HEATING ORCHARDS.
Methods of Saving Fruit Crops from
Late Spring Frosts.

Heating orchards to protect buds,
flowers and young fruit from the late
spring frosts have been proved prac-
ticable in Missouri. according to w.
l.. Howard professor Of horticulture at
the University of Missouri.
There are three ways of generating
heat in the orchard says Professor
Howard in a circular letter he will is
sue next week; "by burning oil, by
burning coal and by burning wood or
brush. Heat is what is wanted and
not smoke. Smoke will help at times,
but cannot often be depended upon.
In deep valley the smudge value of
smoke would be the greatest. 1t rare
" will be necessary to raise the tenn
perature more than two or three de-
grees to save the crop. The further
along the young. fruit is in its devel-
opment the less cold it can stand"
As to the number Of heaters to be
used an acre in an orchard, Professor
Howard says this win depend upon
their size and heat giving powers. No
heater holding less than two gallons
of oil should be used, as it is not prac-
ticable to refill them during the night
if they are used on a large scale.
Coal burners also, Professor Howard
directs. should beglarge enough to burn
from five to seven hours.
1t rarely will ne necessary to keep
these fires burning longer than four
hours. from two O'Clock in the morn
ing until six, but in extreme cases they
may have to be started at eleven a.
clock. and it is the advice of Profess
or Howard that the orchardist he pre-
pared for the worst.
For apple and peach orchards it is
not safe to use less than sixty or
seventy of the large types of heaters
to an acre" says Professor Howard
q For the moderate sizes of both oil
and coal burners so to 100 to an acre
should insure absolute protection In
open strawberry fields at least 125
heaters to the acre should be used"
As to the matter of the cost of heat
ing orchards for saving the crop, Pro
fessor Howard says:
There are fifteen or more kinds of
orchard heaters on the market. and
prices vary all the way from $50 to
s45 a hundred, The average price
would he about $50 hundred regard
less Of make. as the larger the heater
used the fewer will be required
"Oil in lots of less than tank car
costs about FIVE cents a gallon. In
car lots the cost is 215 cents gallon.
Use nothing but fuel oil of 30 degrees
specific gravity. oil may be stored in
galvanized iron tanks or in cemented
cisterns where the walls have been
coated over with a layer of asphalt
paint to prevent leakage. Tanks hold
ing 1900 gallons cost about $38 each.
Where fuel and other things are pur-
chased in large quantities the cost an
acre is relatively less. Small orchard
lists should combine when purchasing
supplies
'"rhe cost of heating a fifteen acre
orchard or larger the first year would
approximate 2i5 to $50 an acre. Less
than fifteen acres. where the owner
purchased supplies alone, the cost
would be about $55 to $50 an acre.
These estimates include heaters, fuel,
storage, tanks and labor. Tank waG-
onS would cost extra

ship or Experiences.

Boys who are thinking about college.
but are unable to see exactly how they
can pay their way through, will be in
terested and may find some helpful sug-
gestions in the story of Yale graduate
as told in a recent issue of the Yale
Alumni Weekly. This young man, it APP
pears. commenced his college life with
| 1885. and considerable facility for
| stenography and typewriting. acquired
while he was private secretary for a
lawyer. He had also the habit of keeping
cash account. a circumstance which
enabled him. five or six years after his
college course was over, to write his
statement of financial record. That this
work was his main reliance, and on the
whole a profitable reliance suggests the
great advantage to a student of what
may be called a definite trade at which
he is an expert, He remarks that he
kept to that line of work because it was
a sure field, in spite of opportunities in
other directions which offered more
money for less work but which were
neither SO certain nor SO independent 1t
is entirely probable that he came out in
the end financially better off by sticking
to that which he best knew how to do
Some details of this mans college finan-
cial history may be interesting Bv his
stenography and typewriting he made in
the four years $197S.25 in amounts rang
ing from $279.65 in his freshman year to
s66710 in his senior year In addition he
earned comparatively small amounts of
/ money in other ways and he WAS fortu-
nate in having few gifts His entire
income for the four years. exclusive of a
not very large amount earned during the
summer, was $2526 %. And he left COLLEGE
with 1910 having spent all ne had earn
ed and the $37395 with which he com
menced, except this small amount As to
his expenses, he says that they were al
ways considerably more than was abso-
lutely necessary. but. aside from the fart
