Warns 0rchardists OF Frost.

Scientific orchard-heating has
made it possible to raise the
temperature of two-hundred acre
orchard 10 TO 15 degrees
with as much certainty as the
janitor can heat the city mans
flat. The little outdoor oil stoves
and coal furnaces that have been
old by the millions to orchard
owners have banished from the
fruit grower that annual early
spring nervous prostration from
fear of frost Nowadays he the
fruit farmerl can go to bed with
a feeling of security, leaving the
frost alarm thermometer to watch
for nina specially made Their
mometer, with a fine platinum
wire fused into the mercury at

this wire the circuit is broken and

Farmers Specializing.

Traverse City, Mich.-The several
sections of Western Michigan
have already begun to specialize
in the matter of raising fruit.
The Oceana and Mason county
sections are becoming great
peach producing regions; and the
country about Ludington is
also gaining fame because of its
small fruits, its berries and
currants The Frankfort section is
becoming SO great center for
the growing of the liberia peach
that though formerly known ds
South Frankfort has changed it's
name to liberia. BenZie county is
also cherry section. In Grand
Traverse County the apple be-
comes the all important fruit,
not but what berries and cherries
and peaches are raised in large
quantities, but the apple is being
given the best part of the
orchard. furthermore the apple
acreage about Traverse City is
very large and is increasing
rapidly. The buyer who wants a
carload of peaches can get
them, in season, without diff
Guilty at Hart, Ludington or
Frankfort; and the buyer who
wants a carload of cherries can
get satisfaction at Frankfort or
Traverse City, Northport, or old
Mission. Within the next few
years the specialties for the
other sections of Western Mich
igan will be SO pronounced that
they can be mentioned offhand.

ROMANCE OF
APPLE GONE
Memories Of Days When Orchards We're
Picturesque but Not SO Scientific and
Profitable as Now.

A pilgrimage was made through
the Champlain Valley in Vermont
last year during the apple har-
vest, because of the interest
aroused by an outdoor meeting
of the Vermont Horticultural
Society, held in 1O0-acre orchard
on the lake shore. 1t was June
day in August, and several hun
dred people, including business,
professional and newspaper men,
as well as farmers, came in auto
mobiles and carriages with their
families, and after speech max
ing enjoyed a basket picnic on
the farmers lawn.
After demonstration of power
spraying, blowing out OF
stumps and making holes for
tree planting with dynamic,
everybody roamed through the
great orchard, which slopes to the
shore, and marveled at the loads
of apples on the trees. One old
farmer says to another as they
went after their teams: oval,
I'm going home and do jest the
very best | can
The writer recalled memories of
an old orchard, just across the
line fence.
The great day in the orchard was
when men and boys climbed the
trees and shook the branches till
the apples came down in showers,
and those that chung tight were
beaten off with poles, picked up
in baskets, poured into cart
taken to the house and poured i'm
to big bin in the cellar.
We wondered why they did not
keep better. Many were dried,

Michigan Apples Sighted.

Traverse City-There is great
CONSERVATION in Western Michigan
because of a recent failure to
recognize the merits of our
apples. The June issue of one of
the large magazines of general
circulation contains an article
dealing with the apple in the
United States and entirely fails
to even mention the fruit with
flavor" or the region in which
it is produced. The apple sections
Of the south, west and the east,
are all described, but there is
not a hint that apples grow in
Michigan or that the "apples that
taste right" come from Western
Michigan. This is surprising, mas
much as the Western Michigan
apples won the honors at the
great land shows at Chicago in
1909 and 1910, when these apples
came into competition with the

however, and the "paring bee" was
the principal social function of
the season. Some apples were
put with the potatoes, into the
"tater hole" in the side hill,
which was not opened until the
frost was out of the ground in
the Spring.
See how apples are gathered to-
day. A dozen or two of men, each
having a long ladder and a basket,
pick the apples from the trees
and pour them gently on to the
sorting table, where they are
sorted carefully and packed in
barrels with a cushion of cor
rugated paper, top and bottom.
Only two or three years ago
apples lay in piles under the
trees in all the orchards of that
region, and the red and yellow
heaps were beautiful to see, but
the world moves and the farmer
must keep up with the procession.
So he is studying principles and
methods, and the agriculturalde-
partment of the university has
more students every year.
To be sure, the orchard lands of
long ago were more pictures que
than at present. James Whitcomb
Riley would not wish to "waller"
in the "shadders" of the present
day orchard, because it is har-
rowed every week, and sprayed
often and fortified with smelly
things. Some of the poetry has
gone out of it, but the crop is
nightly improved. At Orchard
farm, near Burlington, the or
chard had a beautiful carpet OF
buckwheat, which was sown in
August for a clover crop, to be
plowed in next Spring. Apples
measuring from 10 TO 10 inches in
circumference were shown there.
The largest was King, and
Northern Spy came next at IL
inches.

Dairy Notes.

The heifer calves should be kept
from the best milking cows. II
is almost impossible TO buy dairy
cows as good as the calves from
the best cows will make il the
the calves are properly reared and
handled.
Dairying is the most progressive
branch of farming, skill and brain
work get better returns from
dairying than from any other
branch of farming.
The ladies on the farm are al
ways interested in the dairy.
The old COW is the surest mort
gage litter of any animal kept On
the farm.
Heifers are generally timid and
need reinsurance. Scratching
them between the fore-legs usually
has a wonderfully soothing effect
upon them.
There is only zone good reason
that farmer can have for not
using manure spreader and that
is lack of money or credit.
When the farmers of the neigh
borhood begin to pay fancy prices
for outside stock il augurs well
for the business.
How often should the hand
separator be washed? That de-
Ponds upon now often it is used
Don't let the older animals chase
the young calves around the
pasture and otherwise mistreat
them. They should be separated
II the COW is comfortable she
doesn't worry at all about how il
is accomplished. She will be
just as happy and will produce
just as good returns lying on a
dirt floor as on a more expensive
one if her bed is made comfort
able.
The man who gets there in any
business is the man who famil-
iarizes himself with the bushes,
and hustles.
The tradesman must be fami!.
lar with his tools in order to be
successful and the dairy mar
must know his cows in order tC
make the most money with them
Let the stock have plenty ot
salt.
Don't "dog" the COWS. They are
tormented badly enough by tn,
flies.
Milking cows in fly-time is APP
to take all the poetry out of tn,

TRADE ACTIVE
Holiday Run Of Calves and Hogs Fair
But Supplies Small I'm Other Lines.

Chicago. Tl.-There was light
run of everything but calves and hogs
at the local yards the past week. Buy
ers were plentiful.
In the cattle division the receipts
were the smallest of the year and
the drovers claim that so far az Mich
igan is concerned the supply is about
exhausted. The quality was not so
good as usual and there was but one
bunch good enough TO bring $S.25,
which was the top.
The trade was active and every
thing brought strong last weeks prices
and was cleaned up early. Mich COWS
did not bring quite as much as last
week and $50 was about the top. The
quality was common, however.
There was nothing doing in the
stocks and feeder line. the butcher
taking all the receipts.
The veal calf trade was active from
start to finish and although the re-
ceipts We're large there was not
enough to go around and some of the
buyers were asking the commission t.
save them a few should they arrive
later.
In the sheep and lamb department
there was quite a sprinkling Of good
lambs and the buyers filed up with
them, but did not want the common
stuff. and for this grade the trade was
very dull. Sheep are unusually dul
and are selling very low at present a.

clusion that can be reached in
the matter is that Western Mich
igan has not been aggressive
enough in setting forth the
merits of her fruits. 1t is the
desire of Presidnt Day of the
Western Michigan Development
Bureau that our efforts in be-
half of the advertisement of the
superior flavor of our apples be
doubled and that it be made inn
possible for there ever again to
appear an article dealing with
the apple situation of the entire
country without due considera-
ton being given to Western Mich
