There are many good reasons for
the fall planting of orchards. october
Is the best month for taking up this
question. The weather is favorable
now, but It Is not likely to remain sp
for more than four or FIVE weeks.
Those who wish to have IN orchard
or enlarge the one they now havb.
should get busy.
An orchard pays five times as much
as grain per acre. and fall planting
Is becoming more popular each sea-
son. and as experience shows its ad-
vantages the practice Is becoming
general.
Az soon as q tree or shrub becomes
dormant It can be moved from one
place to another ~ .-'-a -
When set out In the fall. the bruised
roots begin Immediately to heal, and
callous Is formed; the trees recover
quickly from the moving. soon become
firmly established, and with the first
touch of spring are ready to 20 into
business for themselves in a vigorous
way.
Again the ground is generally in
better condition for planting In the
fall than in the spring. when much
spring planting Is done with the
ground too wet for results.

BY PROF. j. G. HALPiN,
College of Agriculture.

In Wisconsin we actually lose from
8 to 30 per cent. of the entire egg
crop through careless gathering and
marketing. A large percentage of this
loss is due to the fact that the eggs
start to grow, and then die, spelling
rapidly, On a farm where 100 hens
are kept and where each hen lays only
100 eggs a year, a loss Of 25 per cent.
would mean $500 eggs from that farm
alone these. at conservative esti-
mate, would be worth $40, or enough
money with which to buy good kitch-
en- range
Careless methods of gathering are
probably the cause of most spoiled
eggs, especially in summer Many
1ests are never discovered until the
eggs are far advanced in incubation,
AS it takes only few hours to start
growth in the egg, any neglect in
gathering will spoil their keeping
qualities.
On most farms the egg crop has
been looked upon as of very minor inn
portance SO far as the financial man
agement of the affairs is concerned.
Commonly eggs are used as a means
Of barter for securing groceries for
family use. Many times the result
mas been that in the majority of com
munities the storekeepers have grown
to use the egg as a means of securing
trade, and the storekeeper, in order to
keep his customers, has been obliged
to take anything that looked like an
egg and call it an egg regardless of
the worth of the eggs as food.
This system of buying is manifestly
unfair both to the careful farmer to
the grocery man, and to the ultimate
consumer. 1t has placed a premium
on careless handling Of eggs, with the
result that many farmers whenever
