SHOULD like to make it clear to
farmers in general, but more par
ticularly to owners of small tracts

- SHOULD like to make it clear to
farmers in general, but more par
ticularly to owners of small tracts
of land. that the fruit interest is
shamefully neglected in a number Of
states. It seems like throwing away
money. No branch of farming is east
er or more profitable than fruit raising.
1t is a feature that belongs especially
to the little farm, but l wish to ask
some of the grain growers of the coun-
try if they have ever compared the
acreage value Of corn or wheat with
that of apples.
If they have not taken the trouble to
do so it would be we'll to give the sub
ject a little attention. Fruit cannot
take the place of grain. but it can add
great deal to the farmers income with
out interfering with his general work.
On tract of twenty to forty acres
there ought to be five acres of large
fruit. Apples pay best Of all. The
crop is quite reliable, and prices almost
invariably are sufficient to return
satisfactory profit. With quotations as
Iuey nave Ueeu lOF several years Tue
orchardist can stand a partial failure
now and again.
Two men will do the necessary prun-
ing in five acre orchard in one week
every fall and the spraying in one week
in the spring. The picking is usually
done by the buyers. They know how
to classify and pack better than the
farmer does. Before severe frosts set
in the owner should give couple Of
days to mulching the orchard. This
amount of work is tritiing compared
to that required in raising a crop of
grain. In an average season five acres
of fruit will return profit of from
$1,000 to $1,000.

CIuckS and Crows.

When fattening an old hen or any
fowl that is apt to be tough feed It on
bread soaked in vinegar for about six
days before killing, and the meat will
be tender.
Laying hens should be fed literally
during cold days, for they need not
only the usual quantity Of feed to
manufacture eggs, but an extra sup
ply to counteract the effects of the
cold.
1t is more essential that the poultry
house be cleaned out oftener in the
winter than in summer, for during
cold weather the house is shut up and
the gases are confined, thus increasing
the danger from disease.
Keep on culling. If there Is but q
single bird in the flock that is not
needed get rid of it. The man who
will weed out the drones and keep
only the workers Is the man who Is
following good business principles.

The most desirable weight for prime

WHEN YOU MARKET BEEF.

Some of the Things the Stock Raiser
Ought to Bear In Mind.
Every farmer who feeds or handles
cattle for the market should take some
reliable daily farm paper, which has
a good complete market report, and
keep posted on the market. He ought
to know the type of cattle he has and
in what class they belong, SO that he
can intelligently interpret the market
reports. He should also know at what
time Of the year his cattle are most in
demand.
From a study of monthly prices on
the Chicago market over a period ex-
tending from 1899 to 1909 G. II. Dacy
drew the following conclusions:

used with an assurance of good re.
suits. Late varieties are recommend.
ed for localities where frost is likely
to appear after the 18th Of April.
Freezing weather after fruit trees
have blossomed is pretty sure to kill
the entire crop. The late varieties Of
apples and cherries are more apt to
escape frost in the budding period
than the early kinds. Experience in
the last ten years shows that the dan
ger is nearly all in the spring.
Artificial heating of an orchard is
possible if sudden cold snap comes
at critical time. Heaters for this
purpose can be bought, or smudge
fires can be kept going for a day or
two until the danger is over. l have
raised the temperature Of an orchard

that ice and icy water may be held
around the roots of matured trees in
the spring. This holds back the bud

Young trees ought to be protected
from this ice and chilly water by a
thick coat of manure. Roots obtain a
better hold and trees are stronger on

however. A good depth of loan is de-
sirable, and it may be sandy. but not
gravelly.
With all these things to study and
in view Of the fact that there is no
income for few years, I would say
it was unwise to make the entire in
vestment for an orchard and do all the
work in one season. There are many
features that yield profit the first
year, and these need attention from
the first, although they do not pay bet
ter than fruit in the long run.

WHY FIELDS WASH.

Because of the lack of humus
fields wash, and the running off
of the water carries off the top
soil. There are parts of America
in which fields are worn out not
because crops have exhausted
the fertility. but because the
fertile surface soil has been car
ried off by washing. Humus
acts as a binder.
