SEASONABLE ORCHARD
NOTES.

Plan to set out at least a few
trees every spring.
1t is important that remedies to
kill bugs and prevent blight be
applied before the bugs or blight
show themselves.
You will get more fruit by
spraying thoroughly and the
quality will be such that you can
sell more of 1t as first class fruit.
The holes for your new trees
must be made large and deep
enough to receive the entire root
system without crowding or
cramping.
The drops Of gum which exude
from the roots Of the peach trees
show where the borer is. Per
sistent use of the wire is the
safest remedy.
Good orchardists say that an
orchard neglected for one year
that is, without spraying or prun-
ing and cultivation, puts it back
fully three years.
Many man has been surprised
at the effect of one load of barn
yard manure scattered about UNI
der tree. 1t gives new life and
fruitfulness.
Train the young tree in the or
chard right from the start. Low
headed trees are best. Therefore
prune from the top down and not
from the bottom up.

A MERCHANTS SCHEME.
Glover Advertising Idea Put Into Sue.
cessful Operation.

cessful Operation.
A merchant once put into operation
a clever advertising scheme for build
ing up home trade, which he reported
valuable one aud without draw
backs. 1t Is as follows:
He prepares large number Of cards,
which are numbered consecutively. A
set Of these he gives to each customer
who desires them. These ten cards
the customer is supposed to distribute,
ard the persons who receive them are
to return them to the store. II they
do so and purchase S. worth Of goods
at the time Of returning them the par
ty first receiving the cards is entitled
to receive IS worth of goods free Of
charge
The merchant claimed for the
scheme that he secured valuable
and accurate mailing list; he got ad
vertising matter distributed free Of
charge; he got strong recommendation
fe- his store at the hands Of his Gus
toners, even though 1t was for self
interest alone; he ran no risks, for the
cards had to be returned and placed
on file after purchases before the gift
was made.
An endless chain feature was estab-
lished thus which perpetuates itself
for considerable time. for when one
customer sees another getting some
thing for nothing through those efforts
he IL inclined to try for himself.
In reply to the wonder expressed
that he could afford to give S. away
out Of the profits on $50 worth Of
business he replied that he has not
found 1t necessary to do 20 very often.
Comparatively few customers are able
to fnd ten others who will buy S.
worth Of merchandise and present the
card. But almost everybody will dis
tribute them, and the returns are con-
siderable If but one comes and buys
1t is a good and legitimate gain for
the merchant. If four come It Is
good; If nine come. so much the bet
ter, and IL ten come then he is willing
to pay that much for the sake of the
gain. He figured that instead Of hav-
ing to pay IS for every $50 taken in
he pays but about 90 cents. He re-
garded this as Reasonable enough.
