NATHAN r. GRAVES-CHARLES
G. R0EBLING.

Two well known flower lovers have
passed away recently. Nathan r.
Graves OF Rochester, widely known as
a. pilot" yrapher Of horticultural sub
jects. His photographs were used by
the leading horticultural publication
and for illustrating practically all Of
the seedsmen's and nurserymen's cata-
logues. Mr.. Graves loved plants and
discovered several new varieties that
had been overlooked by gardeners and
botanists. His reputation was world
wide and his contribution of photo
graphs to American horticulture are of
priceless value to this great industry.
His passing is an irreparable loss.
Charles G. Roebling OF Trenton, n.
j.. became interested in horticulture in
the early sos as relaxation from
business cares, specializing in orchids.
He gathered a collection Of orchids
which was recognized as one of the
best In America, requiring about
10000 square feet of glass. He was
a successful hybridlst and many of his
hybrids found their way into COM
merce. He was an exhibitor at the
most important flower shows and won
many prizes Every year the town of
Roebling, which he founded. held a
flower show OF importance, and he was
both patron and leading spirit.

The farmer cannot produce because
the laws will not permit him to do so.
The fuel is alcohol. Almost every
farm produces an abundance of waste
material from which alcohol can be
made. A small apparatus for making
alcohol can be manufactured and sold
for $50 to 800 at the present high
cost OF production. The alcohol can
be denaturized cheaply in several
ways, any one or more of which could
be prescribed by law, and this alcohol
would run quite as large and powerful
engines as are operated by gasolene
now.
For some reason best known to
themselves our politicians. who are
the lawmakers, do not seem to want to
tackle the subject. and the farmers OF
the country are asking, Why?
1t is not be to supposed that alcohol
can be used in a gasolene engine. 1t

tempt 10 run a steam engine with
gasolene Gasoline engines, however,

PROFIT IN BLACK WALNUT.

A black walnut tree once planted
will take care OF itself. 1t needs no
pruning or spraying. Furthermore.
the product is not perishable and can
be kept and shipped when and where
the prices are the highest. In twenty
Ave years the tree is easily worth 5000
to $500 for timber alone. With the
strong interest in the airplane indus
try and the great boom bound to fol-
low at the conclusion OF this present
war, the planter Of black walnuts will
reap a fortune. for this wood Is abso-
lutely essential. For the practical
side. a we'll cared for orchard of black
walnuts at the age of ten years is esti-
mated to give a gross return OF 5000

The black walnut is a beautiful tree

A PERFECT SUBSTITUTE FOR
GASOLINE.

There ia one substitute for gasolene
for power purposes that has been
tested and found successful. 1t is cheap
and can be made at small expense on
any farm from waste material.
Farmers can make their own fuel for
power at trifiing expense. This fuel
will run engines for milking cows,
separating cream. churning and it will
therefore make the cost of milk and
butter less to the consumer.
Engines operated by this fuel will
fill silos, pump water, saw wood. run

vegetables to market, haul the fertilizer
home from the railway station and run

II hens this year produce an average
OF only 10s eggs each they will merely
pay the cost of their keep. This is
based on the following facts:
In 1914-15 a flock OF 1000 Leghorn
hens on a farm in this State averaged
los eggs each. These eggs with the
surplus stock and manure paid the
feed bills and all other expenses and

WINTER STORES FOR BEES.

The quality of the stores with which
the bees enter winter IL as important
as the quantity of stores. In general.
honeys from mixed sources and dark
honeys. except buckwheat, are not
desirable for wintering bees. Now Is
the time to make a special examina-
ton Of all colonies to determine the
quality and the quantity OF stores pres
ent. Good honey for wIntering bees
should be liquid and quite bright and
transparent. Candied honey hetrays
the probable presence OF honey dew,
which is wholly unsuitable as a winter
food. The Objectionable part OF honey
dew Is the gum or dextrn which IL
contains. The bees cannot digest dex-
trim, and it collects in their intestInes
and brings about a condition known
as dysentery. Granulated sugar is free
from gums and Is perfectly digested.
From the time that honey gathering
ceases in the autumn till 1t begins
again in the spring an average colony
will consume forty-fve pounds OF
stores. The bees ought TO enter winter
with this quantity in easy reach. II
the keeper prefers he may supply only
half OF this amount in the fall II he is
going to winter in the cellar, and two
thirds this amount il he is going TO
winter outdoors. Then the balance OF
the forty-fve pounds should be given
in the spring after the bees fly. Bee
keepers who need sugar for feeding
and cannot get it locally should write
TO the local Federal Food Adminlstra-
ton, stating how many colonies are
to be fed, together with the minimum
amount required. which ought not to
exceed ten to fifteen pounds a colony.

IT believe II 1 could plant only ten

Then my guests are invited to guess

Swiss chard Is really a foliage beet.
Instead of forming solid, tuberous
roots the strength OF the plant is oe-
voted to the development of stalks and
leaves. The leafy portion is cooked
like spinach, the stalks served like
asparagus or stewed celery.
The seeds should be sown as early
in the spring as the garden can be
made ready in rows two feet apart,
Sprinkle three or four seeds to every
inch Of the row, covering the seeds
about a quarter of an inch. Firm the
soil well over the seeds, and there Is
no more convenient way to do this
than with the foot.

inches high thin them out so they Will

ROSES WILL BE SCARCE.

Roses will be scarce next spring and
late purchasers may not be able to
obtain them at any price. None were
imported this year from England. Hol-
land or France. and none can be I'M
ported next year, making America for
the first time in years dependent en-
tirely upon its own production, and
rose growers are almost certain to be
short of plants next spring.
Many roses may be safely planted
now, and as the price will likely be
higher in the spring there will be a
decided gain by autumn planting.
Nurserymen may be consulted as to
desirable varieties for different locali-
ties and soils.
