one in a thousand Ninety-nine out
of every hundred seedlings will prove
a disappointment, and the one alone
worth propagating.
Young trees respond more readily
to new conditions than do older ones,
and the seeds of young trees are less
likely to return to their former con.
dition than those of older ones. The
farther removed from its original
state, in generations, a tree may be,
the less is its tendency to return to it.
The trained stockman and nursery,
man understands these principles, and
puts them into practice in producing
new and superior varieties of fruit
stock. Far better is it for the farmer
TO look to him for approved material
to work with, than to attempt to
improve whatever he may already
have
The one important element in fruit
growing is to secure the right stock at
the start. The rest Of the undertaking
is comparatively easy To begin with
a poor grade of nursery stock is to
invite failure at the start, and TO
assume 4 handicap which can never
after be overcome

Market Poultry Fat.

Poultry marketed from the farm
consists of cockerels, or males under
one year, ROSTERS, pullets culled from
standards-bred stock, hens, guineas,
doves, ducks, geese and turkeys. They
are generally sold alive in summer
and early autumn, and both alive and
dressed in late autumn and winter.
To bring the highest market price,
market poultry. whether alive or
dressed, should be in good health, of
large size and well fattened All
poultry marketed should be fat. This
condition is the chief factor in deter.
mining the price per pound. Fat old

GROSS IGNORANCE
IN FRUIT CULTURE
Care and Cultivation Alone viii
Improve Some Plants, but
Not Fruit Trees.
By r. C. wEATHERsToNE1


One of the most p. table, useful
and cOmmendable undertakings to
which one can devote himself in these
times is the cultivation of fruits and
fruit trees. 1t is worth while to have
a part, though even so small, in help
Ing to raise mankind to a higher
place of living; and the fruit-grower's
services are of value in solving the
problem of the ever-increasing cost of
living.
Probably there is no other branch
of agriculture in which there is so
much gross ignorance still prevalent
as in fruit culture. How many farm
ers understand to any degree the arts
Of budding and grating, and pruning
and training of vines; and yet they
are the very persons who, above all
others, should be familiar with these
processes. If you wish to know
whether this or that fruit tree is
worth encouraging, don't ask your
neighbor the farmer. The chances
are that he is nursing along some
worthless seedlings himself, in the
hope that they will some day amount
to something; but which most of them
usually never do.
Nature has presented US with the
grains at their best, and ready for
immediate use; but her fruits, her
best gifts, she holds subject to the
proviso that they shall be received
only with the exercise of an intelli-
gence capable of approaching them.
The wild fruit tree is admirably de-
signed for surviving untold conditions
till man shall have need of it, and
for responding readily under his
guiding hand-but only when wisely
directed.
Care and cultivation alone will
vastly improve some plants, but not
fruit trees Advance is gained with
them, step by step, by the selection of

The commercial fruit farmer of to-
day generally recognizes the fact that
a well-kept orchard and vineyard is
essential If uniform and profitable re-
suits are to be secured. Orchard and
vineyard sanitation" is a good phrase,
and one which should be more clearly
understood by every fruit grower.
Some of the most important things
which it includes are air drainage,
soil drainage, spraying, pruning, care
Of rubbish, and the relation of neigh
boring orchards, vineyards or fields.
Some of these things are difficult to
control, but others, which are of great

papa, casting a stern eye on the kid.

CARING FOR THE ORCHARD AND VINEYARD


for which there is no remedy posi-
lively known, is the crown gall which
causes unsightly blemishes on the
trees and vines.
Nearly every one has seen the
rough engagements which sometimes
occur at the crown of trees, and which
is commonly known as crown gall
In some cases there are great num-
bers of small fibrous roots coming out
from the gall. Trees afflicted with
this disease may live for many years
and produce considerable fruit, but
they are apt to be less thrifty than
healthy ones and are more liable to
root rot. The gall may eventually de-
cay and leave the tree so weak that
it is easily blown over. There Is no
remedy which can be recommended
for an infected tree. Any nursery
stock affected by this disease should
not be accepted or planted.
Stem tumor is a disease of the
branches similar in appearance and
nature to crown gall A tree may

and yet appear healthy and well.
They doubtless injure the tree to some
extent The disease attacks the
crown, stump, canes, and sometimes
the roots of grape vines also At first
the gals can hardly be distinguished
from callus. but as they get older and
larger they become darker and
tougher. They grow to all sizes, and
can be found from one to four or more
inches In diameter. AS the vine gets
older the disease may extend from
the crown to the stump and canes,
even four or six feet out The gals
are comparatively short lived, as they
usually die within a year. As the
gall rots away, it kills the adjacent
tissue of root, crown and cane. At
present judging from all available
data on the remedies for this disease
in all probability the best way for
controlling the disease is by the use
of resistant varieties of vines when
the disease appears in the vineyard
But sanitation" will help in the pre-
vention of this disease as well as
many others.

ters, aroused by the ban laid on the
tango by the pope, French archbish'

an international congress of dancing
professors for Easter Sunday and
Monday, April u and Is, to codify the
