DESTRUCTION OF
OLD FRUIT TREES
travelling Timber Buyers Buy
Them Up for Manufacture of
Tool HandIes-They
Should be Spared.
By ]. H. HAYNES.)

There seems to be a disposition on
he part of the farmers to ostracize
he old standbys of years ago. 1t
seems like sacrilege to do SO.
Some travelling timber buyers went
over our country buying old apple
Trees for the manufacture of tool
handles. Their story was that the
trees were worthless for fruiting and
the price they paid would replace the
old trees with young stock.
The grandfather of the writer
planted an orchard (seedlings) 80
years ago. He gave his children the
privileges of choosing tree and NAM
ing it.
One of the boys called his tree
Bills Apple" This tree is still living
and bearing. So is the boy who
named it.
One other of these seedlings that
was top-grafted with the Pound Pip.
pin is still bearing. Enough wood was
taken from these two old trees to
make a gavel to be used by the pre-
siding officer at the annual meeting of
the descendent of the old pioneer.
Last August over 200 of these chill
dren and grandchildren met to COM
memorate the memory of the planter
OF these two old trees and this gavel
was presented to the society.
Some four or five miles from where
these trees stand is a pear orchard all
seedlings planted at the same time by
another pioneer named Harter. These
trees are in fair condition yet, and
although seedlings, the fruit is good.
Our motto is spare the old land
marks. A young tree six years old
that grew from graft from a tree
276 years old bore an apple last year
and We are sure the fruit was of the
same quality. appearance, etc., as the
fruit that grew on the original tree in
the orchard at Boston, Mass.

FORACE-PLANT
SEEDS IMPORTED
Considerable Mum Ser of Lots
Examined Found of Low
Vitality and Inferior
Quality.

The Secretary of Agriculture is call
ing attention to the Seed Laboratory
which has examined a considerable
number Of lots of forage-plant seeds
imported into the United States dur
Ing 1911 and found that many Of them
consisted of seed of low vitality and
high weed-seed content, said:
"The analyses of Is seed lots of seed
OF alsike clover, red clover, white
clover, and hairy vetch, amounting to
225,7S0 pounds, showed that the pure
seed consisted of only 44.9, 64.2, 5l2.
and 20 per cent, respectively, of the
consignment, while the termination
was as follows: 1873, $40, 30.5, and n
per cent, respectively. Consequently,
though this seed was imported at a
cost of s7.47, 1897, SIT and 1882 per
100 pounds, respectively, the actual
cost of 100 pounds of seed that ger
minated was $4435 for alsike clover,
$S4.66 for red clover, $111.S6 for white
clover, $500 for hairy vetch, or from
TWO to four times the market price OF
seed of the very best quality.
"A special examination of seed OF
alsike clover and red clover imported
from Canada during 1911 showed that
approximately one-half was unstable
Tor seeding purposes in that country,

number of noxious seeds are found to

contained less than 80 per cent OF

cent or 7H per cent Of the entire
bulk. This particular lot contained
approximately $4,000 weed seeds In
each pound"

You can plainly see that the real

it Is we'll to have a shed provided for

will prove failure.
It is an excellent plan for every
farmer to put up every fall quantity
of oats straw to help out in carrying
the sheep through the winter Wheat
straw will answer the purpose but 1t

OF course straw is not an ideal feed
for sheep. 1t contains little nutrt

almost certainly produce stomach

avoided.

The necessity of preserving order in the

''The foreign Office, though not or

Since the signing of the Anglo

division of the country into British and
Russian spheres of influence, there has
been a steady growth of this influence
