JAPANESE PLUM VERY HARDY
VIII Grow on Almost Any Soil and Do
Not Need Particular coddllng--
Come On Early.

Plums OF the Japanese variety are
popular with most growers. particu-
larly In the east. because they are
hardy and come on early. Many OF
these varieties are the earliest In the
market. and as they are always OF
good color. either cherry reds or
light yellows. they sell readily and
bring good prices.
They will grow well on almost any
kind OF decent soil. and do not need
TO be particularly coddled. although
they should have all the care that any
good fruit tree deserves.
These trees were planted four years
ago In soil from which pine scrub had
been grubbed only a few weeks be-
fore. The trees are bearing well and
show fine color and great yigor.
These Japanese plums differ from
the domestic varieties In that its
leaves are longer. thinner and smooth
er. and 1t has great tendency to
produce lateral fruit buds on the an
nual growth. Its fruit is mostly short,
round and plump.
The japanese plum is less liable TO
injury from curculio and black knot
than the domestic variety. Mr.. Full
lerton says that up TO this time his
trees have shown no signs OF disease
or attack from insects of any kind.

CBy w. NJ KELLEY. New York;
In the production of cream that will
meet the demands of a fancy city
trade the care OF the milk and the
sanitary methods OF handling the
COWS are the most exacting phases of
business. Many people, when han
ding milk. forget that they are deal
ing with food product. II filth is al
lowed to get into the milk at any
point Of production. no amount of care
afterward can make arnends for this
difficulty.
The chief necessity in improving
dairy conditions is to give the pro-
ducer such knowledge Of the right
methods OF handling and caring for
the milk that he will see the necessity
for such methods and know how to
manage his work to accomplish the
desired results
In selecting cows for producing
cream II is to Cur best interest to Sc
lect animals from breeds that have
an Inherited tendency TO produce a
large amount of butter fat at the low
ost cost and for that reason Jerseys
and Gueruseys stand at the head OF
the list as economic cream producers.
The factor OF importance is the san
itary conditions surrounding the herd.
To produce clean. wholesome cream
we must have clean stables, clean
yards. clean and wholesome feeds and
clean attendants.
The cows must be kept comfort
able al all times. This requires a
warm stable with plenty OF light and
sunshine. Pure air is fully as essen.

is contaminated with foul air. A mum
ber OF authorities have said great
deal about how much cubic air space
| each SOW should have, but | believe II
is more important than we provide a
plan TO change the air frequently
rather than figure on the basis Of Sc
much air space.
To be sweet and clean It Is almost
necessary that the stable be white
washed frequently. This makes q
cheap and effective dlsinfectant and II

With cement floors and liberal use o'

where fancy cream is produced, con

Wash first with warm water to re-
move the milk, then with hot water,

 As soon as he is ready to go ahead with the work of laying the hassam, he will order the Connecticut river traprock required and will push the work to completion.
 Speaking on Thursday of the exper- fence that the company has had with the road and of his own observation and work with them for the past five years. he said that he had put in a good many miles of hassam in that time. and in all that he had put in there had been only two holes of small size develop.
