Stony Soils aud Orchards.

A stony loan is often recon-
mended as a desirable fruit soil,
but stones are advantageous only
in that they may help a soil that
is too heavy.or clayey or too i'm
pervious. by making it somewhat
more pervious to water. The
fact that a soil is stony does not
necessarily imply that it is pro-
ductive. If apples are to be
grown with profit, and competi-
ton is keen, the soil must be
productive or at least capable of
being brought to a productive
state and so maintained. Much
of the current belief that stony"
soils possess some particular ad-
vantage for orchards fruits has
undoubtedly arisen from the sue
cess of many orchards located on
stony hills.

The Width Of FOur Fingers.

Excess peaches should be pick
ed off in the process commonly
called thinning" Make it a
rule first to pull off all defective
fruits, and second all excess fruits
that will leave those remaining
on the trees no closer than the
width OF your four fingers. This
distance is easily measured by
simply extending the hand be-
tween the fruits, and persons en-
gagged in this work get accus-
toned to it. Women are good
hands at thinning fruits and are
more careful and more speedy
than men. The sooner the thin
ming is done, the better for the
trees.

One Lump Instead of Two.

The many beet sugar factories
throughout the country are fac
ing a peculiar situation. After
working at full capacity to meet
a supposed demand for high pric-
ed sugar, they find that there is
no such demand. Although the
sugar is offered at six cents per
pound, wholesale, sales are slow.
The jobbers and wholesalers, it
seems, stocked up heavily when
the war broke out and, with the
warehouse loaded to the rafters,
they are not eager to put more
money into the product. So the
sugar is going begging at six
cents. How long this condition
will last is a question. The con-
sumer, however, as long as he
uses the usual quantity of sugar,
may rest assured that he will not
profit. The retail price of sugar
has been advanced to about eight
cents a pound and it is likely that
it will be kept there, indefinitely.
The old law" of supply and de-
mand appears to have been re-
pealed in this century. The only
way to touch the spectators is
through the pocket. A lack of
demand or a falling off in de-
mand is likely to result in a re-
duction in price, for the jobbers
will not care to carry big stocks
that are slow sales. Therefore
if every American would cut
down his allowance of sugar just
trife, we would see the prices
tumbling in a few weeks. One
spoonful or one lump, instead of
two in your coffee every morning
for a month would result in a re-
turn of five-cent sugar before
Christmas.
