IAndon-King Ferdinand of Rou-

in succession to his uncle, King
Charles, according 10 a dispatch from
Bucharest by way OF Amsterdam to
the Central News Agency.
The new king declared he would
labor for the development of the
state.
A dispatch from Rome says the
Idea Nazionale publishes an inquiry
made at the Balkan legation concern
ing the attitude of Roumania after
the death of King Charles. L. Mi
kailovitch, the Servian minister to
Rome, expresses the opinion that the
death of King Charles will not pro-
duce any great change in Roumanian
politics. Differences between the
king and his people were more eXag-
gerated than real, he says.
A change in the attitude of Rou-
mania, Balkan diplomats intimate, is
not expected to occur Immediately,
but a change may be expected if the
battle OF Cracow has decisive re-
suits.

For market orchard plant not more
than three or four varieties. For family
use, plant one tree of about twelve vari-
cites, and graft one-half of each tree
with another good kind, which gives
twenty four choice varieties, covering all
seasons, Most varieties are planted for
ty feet apart each way and those of
spreading growth, like the King or the
Greening, fifty feet. Filler trees that do
not grow large, as Yellow Transparent,

These will begin bearing in five years,
and, after several crops have been taken
off, may be cut out.

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
PRODUCTIVE AND UNPRoDUCTIvE
APPLE TREES.
A Question of Profit.
GEORGE r. POWELL.
Agricultural Experts Association.

Agricultural Experts Association
Fruit trees are propagated by two
methods grating and budding, In
grating, the wood of the preceding year
growth is cut and made into pieces con-
tanning three buds. These are inserted
into the roots of seeding trees in winter
or in the tops of young trees which are
cut off in the spring and one or two
CRAFTS set in, which will grow and make
the future top of the tree.
In budding, the bark of Seeding or
young trees is opened in July or August,
sometimes in September, when buds on
the present years growth are cut off and
inserted, bound tightly with raffia, when
in few days the bud unites with the
branch in which it is inserted and the
following spring grows into tree OF the
same variety as that of the bud.
How to Plant.
In future planting of orchards it is
important to know the bearing quality
of trees and whether they have been
propagated from good productive stock,
and as apples i've for so long period
they should be well cared for. In plant
ing buy o-year-old stock and prune
back the stocks one -half. cutting back all
roots one-fourth of their length. Little

HOW TO SET POSTS.
Putting the Small End Down Common
Practice Based on Fallacy.

The Scientific American says: 1t is a
very common belief among farmers that
a post will last longer if set in the
ground the reverse of the way it grew in
the tree; in other wrds, with the butt
end up. Accordingly, one sees many
posts, especially end and gate posts,
with the small end down. The suppose
ton is that sap in tree is always as
cending, or at least that it is easier for
the sap to go up than down. Con-
sequently, it is argued, turning post
upside down tends to prevent the rise of
water, helps to keep the wood dry and
therefore renders it less liable to decay.
As matter of fact, sap or water can
flow in either direction with equal facil-
ity and the popular notion to the con-
trary is incorrect.
Careful experiments on the relative
durability of post timbers have been
made at the Ohio agricultural expert
ment station and the above question was
considered. One fence in particular con-
tanned l56 black locust posts, of which
SO were set with the top end up, 80
with the top end down and 81 did not
show in what position they were set. At
the end of 90 years 80 posts, or 10 per
cent. were decayed. OF this number, Is
were top up, ID top down, and four un-
determined. In other words, one third
of those set top down rotted off, as COM
pared with only little over one-siXth
of those set top up. From this and
numerous other observations the conclu-
sion was reached that there is no diff
ference which end is put in the ground,
except that the sounder or larger end
should have the preference.
The decay of post is mostly at the
ground line, since it is there that the
conditions as to air and moisture are
most favorable to the development of
rot causing fungi. Other things being
equal, the larger the post the longer it
will last. Inverting post often means
putting the small end in the ground, and
when this is done the time required to
rot off is less than where the big end is
down. If both ends are equally sound
the larger should go into the ground If
one end is defective it should be up,
since the conditions above ground are
many times more favorable to durahiI-
ity than just at or below the ground
line.
