Broom Pincushion.

A very dainty novelty is the broom
pincushiOn. For this you will require
large fat cork, meat skewer "a new
one, of course) and a few yards of
baby ribbon in some bright shade.
Cut a small hole in the cork and
insert the skewer firmly through it.
Now wind skewer and cork together
with the ribbon until they are entirely
covered. Two bows on the skewer will
hold the ribbon tight so far.
The broom effect you will gain by
the pins. They must be driven thick
ly into the underside of the cork,
holding the ribbon at that point and
at the same time giving a very good
imitation of tiny metal broom.
These make very nice favors at infor.
NAL parties, club meetings, etc.

more hardy than the apple. and some
of the improved varieties give as de-

Cherries are also fairly hardy, and a

peaches and pears can be added to the

to plant in the spring. Fall planted
trees are liable to root killing during
the winter. In the drier parts of the
! country, too, the roots Go not get suffi-
| cient moisture to supply the trunk and
branches. and the tree is so badly
dried out during the winter that it
is killed.
In lands with a stiff subsoil running
a subsoil plow down the row before
planting is practiced with good results.
In extremely hard soils a little dyna-
mite exploded in the bottom of the
hole loosens up the subsoil consid
erably. The hole should be dug lar
ger than the roots of the tree and
fine soil thrown in around the roots
The roots should be well spread out
and the tree set three or four inches
deeper than it is to be finally. BY
taking hold of the top and churning it
up and down after the roots have been
covered with dirt the soil viii be thor
Oughly worked in around the roots.
AS the tree is worked up and down ii
IS gradually raised to the proper height.
Part of the top should be cut off be-
fore planting. The top is dependent
on the roots for it's moisture supply
A considerable part Of the root sys-
TEN has been lost in transplanting, and
the top should be cut back to match.
In planting one or two-ycar-Old trees,
known as whips" this ,vtting back
serves a double purpose Icy causing
the tree TO throw out branches just
below where it is cut cff. In trees of
this kind the cut should be a few
inches above where the first branches
are to he.
There is considerable difference of
opinion concerning the proper height
to head apple trees. Low headed trees
are much less liable to sun ecald since !
the branches shade the trunk. They
are easier to spray. "rl the apples can
be more easily gathered. There is also
much less damage from large branches |
being broken off by the wind. The |
chief objection to low heading is that |
it is difficult to get near the tree when |
the orchard. This objec- |
ton, however. is hardly enough to out |
weigh the advantages Cf low heading. |
If the soil is firmly packed there is /

VIZ AVERY farm should have al

soil and climate are favorable
and good market can be secured
fruit growing for market is a very
profitable business.
The most important point in plan.
ming an orchard is selecting the loca-
ton. The land should be naturally
we'll drained if possible. If not, arti-
fetal drainage should be resorted to-
A moderate northeast slope is the most
desirable. frees on north slope do
not start as quickly in the spring, and
the danger of having the fruit buds
nipped by an untimely frost is less
ened. An orchard on such a slope
also suffers less from sun scald and
drought.
If the hill on which the farm build
ings are placed is large enough the
orchard can be located on the north
slope and the buildings on the south
A windbreak of double row Of ever
green's on the west and north will stop
the snow in winter and help to keep
the fruit from being blown off in sum
mer. To complete this protection the
Windbreak will have to be extended all
the way around, since in summer many
of the heavy winds come from a south
erly direction.
Air Drainage.
The question of air drainage is fully
as important as that of water drainage.
Cold air is heavy and drains rapidly
into the hollows, while the air on the
slopes is warm and dry. The differ
ence of few feet in elevation often
makes Il difference of several degrees
in temperature. An orchard located on
a rise of land will escape many of the
frosts that cut down the profits in an
orchard less favorably located. Trees
on hill are also less likely to be trou,
bed with fungous diseases, since dry
air is not favorable to them.
A soil too rich in nitrogen promotes
leaf and wood growth at the expense
Of fruit. For this reason black prairie
soil is not so well adapted to fruit
growing as some other lands. Loamy
clay soil underIaid with porous sub.
soil makes an ideal foundation for an
orchard. Cleared timberland is also
very good.
You cannot expect success with an
orchard if you plant the trees in a
hsle in the sod. The land should be
put in to some cultivated crop for at
least year before setting out the
trees. This gets the soil in good filth,
and the trees will have fair chance
from the start.

FACTORIES ON THE INCREASE.
Manufacturing industry of Past
Five Years Shows Big
Development.

Iowa has $500 factories employ
ing 5000 people. Manufacturing
has come to be one of the leading
industries Of our state. Enormous
increases in everything pertaining to
manufacturing have been shown
within the rast five years.
Iowa has the greatest buying
Power and the greatest producing
power Of any equal area on earth.
Last year, produced over SS00,000,-
600 worth of wealth.
Its factories last year paid out
S43, 900 in wages an increase of
$25, 100000 CT five per cent in the
five year period. Iowa offers fine
market for the products of these
factories. The ability to create
wealth makes the Iowa farmer a
good spender. He knows that next
year the soil will produce as much
again if not more. Consequently he
enjoys all the luXuries of modern
times, he lives in a fine home, rides
TO town in his automobile and Guilt
Yates his crops with the latest i'm
proved machinery.
The interesting development of
manufacturing in Iowa is shown by
the following summary from the
census bureau: Capital invested in
1909 was $171,299,OO a gain of
$59,S72,000, or "a per cent over
Sill, $4,000 in 1904.

THE FREEPohr ROAD.
Committee Comforting With Board
of Supervisors on the Ground
Today.

The committee of the DEBORAH
Commercial Club, the committee of
the farmers living east of DEBORAH,
the Board of Supervisors and the
township trustees are at Freeport
this afternoon, consulting concern
ing the proposed rebuilding of the
Freeport sand road and the road to
DEBORAH, so as to give better access
to this city for people living east
of here. This movement was taken
up some time ago by the CONNER
cial Club, money pledged, subscrip-
tons circulated, and today ii is ex-
pected that plans for the improve
ment will be decided upon. 1t is
quite likely that the location of the
sand road south of Freeport will be
changed enough to permit good
road to be made, and it is sincere
ly hoped by the business men of
DEBORAH and the farmers along the
road east that a permanent, substan-
tial road may be built, although it
is likely that the best that can be
done at this time is to spend up
wards of $4,000 to put the road in
the best shape possible.
