HIGH GRADE STOCK FAVORED
Farmer Must See That Machinery OF
Production Is Worthy-lnefficIent
Equipment 10 Costly.

Your fruit trees aid bushes, your
crops, your animals are the machines
Of your farm mandatory. Are they
efficient? Do they return to you the
biggest profit on the raw material and
labor spent on them? You must see
that your machinery of production is
worthy of your time and labor. Low
quality, non-guaranteed trees may look
cheap, but they take as much room,
time and work as the fine. kinds,
says American Fruit Grower.
Scrub cows eat. the same amount
of food and take sas much attention,
but they don't give the milk and but
ter as do the fine breeds. 1t is bad
business to work with inefficient
equipment. ~
: Other manufacturers often scrap
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars Of
good machines to install others
that give better results for the
same effort. You can save money by
scrapping your lowgrade stuff. Get
the best you can afford. 1t pays.

Last spring Is bushels Of black
cherry seeds were planted, in the hope
that trees might be produced which
would serve for timber and for bird
food. The unfavorable weather re-
suited in making the crop almost a
complete failure.
A million and one-half trees were
planted last year by private individu-
ais from stock supplied by the depart
ment. It is the intention during the
coming year to have enough stock on
hand to meet all possible demands for
free distribution. There is no restric-
tion placed upon the distribution ex-
cepting that the trees must be used for
reforesting and not for shade or orna-
ment.
The department does not ship the
trees excepting in lots Of 500 or more.

KEEPING THE FORESTS ALIVE.

BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN
Mankind is very peculiar collective
animal. Somebody said that the av-
erage man spends the first half Of
his life trying to destroy his health
and the second half trying to rebuild
it. That is surely his method Of
handling most of the propositions that
confront him.
This is more strikfngly illustrated
Sn the case of forestry than in any
sother respect. Once let the march Of
progress begin and the ring Of the
woodman's ak is heard and the path
of civilization is marked by the fallen
trees. Then comes the time when 1t
becomes apparent that the rebuilding
of the forests is prime essential and
the people go to more trouble to recre-
ate what they have destroyed with law
ish hand than would ever have been
necessary had q little foresight been
exercised.
Showing the extent of the govern
mental interest in replanting the for
ests, there will be more than S,OOO,OOO
trees available next spring for refor-
esting operations from the stock now
in the Pennsylvania state nurseries
alone.
More than half Of the 100000 are
white pines. Some figures on the re-
mainder Of the stock will be of gen.

plowed down the previous fall as soon
as they are sufficiently mature.
AS little farmyard manure Is avail
able in the southern states where the
early crop of potatoes is chiefly pro-
duced, this seldom enters as a factor
in the production of the crop. Com
mercial fertilizers Of nature espe-
cially adapted to the potato crop form
the chief reliance of the growers. A
fertilizer carrying 8 to per cent of
nitrogen, 6 to 8 per cent of phosphoric
acid, and 8 to 10 per cent of potash
is used at the rate Of 500 to 1900
pounds to the acre, depending upon
the crop which is to follow the po-
tato crop and the liberality Of the
grower.
The fertilizer may be applied broad
cast IL put on at the rate. Of 1000
pounds or more to the acre. When
less than 1000 pounds to the acre are
used it is almost universally applied
along the line Of the row, furrow
being opened for the reception of tie
fertilizer, which is scattered by hard
or by distributor which can be used
to fertilize several rows at time.
After the fertilizer has been distrib-
uted, a cultivator is run along the line
of the rows to incorporate the fer
tilizer with the soil in order to pre-
vent its coming in contact with the
seed when planted.
Sometimes the furrow is refilled and
reopened prior to the planting of the
seed, so as to incorporate the fertilizer
more completely with the soil. Still
another plan is to open the furrow, dis
tribute about one-half the quantity Of
fertilizer to be used in the bottom, in
corporate it with the soil, plant the
potatoes, partially cover them, and
scatter the remainder of the applica-
tion on the seeded above the seed.

CARNATIONS RENEWING PoPU-
LARlTY

Shortly after the death Of the late
President Mckinley the carnation had
a perfect wave Of popularity, due
largely to the fact that Mr.. Mckinley
was particularly fond of the flower
and nearly always wore one in his but
tonhole. For a time, following the
first interest in the flower, 1t seemed
to be on the wane as a public favorite.
Now the carnation is riding back to
the place of a lending fad. The deal
ers do not know why, but they are
getting demand for more of the car
nation family than they have for years.
White, pink and deeper red are the
shades in vogue, although some Of the
mixed flowers sell well.
