PLANT PEAR TREES IN ROWS
Good Distance 10 Fifteen BY Thirty
Feet-objeet 10 to Obtain Larger
Yields Of Fruit.

A good distance for planting stand
ard pear trees is IL by 80 feet; that
is. the rows are 80 feet apart and the
trees IL feet apart in the rows.
The object Of this method is to OBJ
tain larger crops of fruit from the
same ground until the trees become
large enough to interfere with each
other; then each alternate tree in the
row is cut out, leaving the trees in the
entire orchard at distance Of 80 feet
each way.
This system has the advantage Of
more fully utilizing the land for fruit
production until the thinning out be-
comes necessary.
Another plan is to plant the trees 90
feet apart each way. This distance
will afford free circulation of air and
abundance Of sunlight, both of which
are essential to well-developed and
highly colored fruit.

Carbon From Gas.

Engineers have long been trying to
discover an economical way of produc.
ing carbon from natural gas. Under
the methods now in use there Is such
an enormous waste of gas that the
process is too expensive. Harry Bea-
com Of Wilsonburg. Harrison County
w. Va, has been studying this matter
scientifically and experimentally for
many years, and now he announces
that he has found method whereby
he produces q black without any ash
and far superior to that made under
the older processes. and whereby the
waste Of gas 10 almost entirely slimi

accompanying illustrations is used
with good results on the government
poultry farm and is quite similar to
the nest used at the Connecticut
state experiment station 1t is very
simple and may be built at q small
cost.
The use of trap nests is essential
in breeding poultry for both egg pro-
duction and exhibition, where pedi-
gree records are used in selecting
either the males or females. and has
. place in mass selection for insreas-
ing the egg production. Trap nests
are of value in wedding out poor lay
ers and increasing the average egg
yield of flock by selecting and breed
ing. but are not extensively used on
account Of the large amount or labor
required to operate them. Some pOul-
try breeders trap nest their pullets
during their first six months of lay
ing and use this as q basis in select
ing their breeders for egg production
One trap nest Gig. u should be
provided for four to five hens kept in
flocks of fifty or more, while more trap
nests per hen are necessary in small
er flocks. The hens are banded with
numbered bands. and record il kept
of their egg production. The nests
should be visited at least three times
daily. and preferably four or five
times, frequent trips being especially
necessary when the hens are laying
freely and during hot weather.

from the front of the nest to the wall
at 4 sharp angle to prevent the hens
from roosting on the nest.
When the hen enters this nest her
back raises the door (c), which re-
leases the catch or trigger (a) and
allows the door to shut. The catch

the nest to prevent this catch from
