WHERE THE TREES GO.
There are many things which seem to
[have Lrproduction had their influence in preventing an
of good fruit. 7 In the
first place not one-half the trees planted
ever reach a bearing age, and of those
that do live and thrive not more than
half bear fruit of any special value to
I the owner, because the varieties are not
adapted to the climate or other condi¬
tions under which they are grown.
Blight, noxious insects, and general neg¬
1 contribute to keep the supply
lect all
of good fruit down to or a little below
the demand. Thousands may sow where
hut few reap is as true to-day as in any
'age of the world, and it is well that it is
io, else the truly deserving would have
less to show for their skill and industry.
The immense.increase in population has,
f of course, given a proportionate increase
in consumption, while the modern facili
'’ties for transportation of fruit from one
part of the country to another, as well as
to foreign ports, has helped enormously
in providing good markets. In addition
to all of these, the drying or evaporation
cf the perishable fruits of late years has
stimulated the production of such kinds,
and it is likely to continue, because there
are many foreign Nations who want our
dried fruits in immense quantities.
! (Under present conditions we think there
is little danger of overproduction of
choice fruits of any kind in this coun¬
try, at least not until all who attempt
its cultivation know more about the
business than they do at the present day.

■ikere put K up and set, ’ though many of
them failed to . grow. Advocates » 1 . of the
whole root method u j claim i • as its -a greatest a
advantage that the graft is set on the
.collar of the seedling tree, that there
^aloneisthe natural place for union be
tween the trunk of the tree and the root,
and that to put the graft on any other
part of the root must necessarily make a
less perfect union and consequently a
poorer tree in the nursery and a less en
during and perfect orchard tree. Many
of them do not advocate the use of the
whole root, as one would naturally be
led to suppose, but what is usually
called the upper cut, five to six inches
long, from the collar down.
As reported by Messrs. Burrill and
McCluer, station horticulturists, they have
used roots in various forms, from whole
roots ten inches long, to roots cut into
pieces of different lengths, with cions
*et two inches above the collar, on the
collar and two inches below the collar.
The conclusions from one year’s work
are: The whole root has no advantage
over a piece root of the same size. (Size
refers to both length and thickness.)
Roots with small side branches left on
gave better results than roots of the same
size with the rootlets cut away.

PASTURING MEADOWS.
Whether or not the quantity of feed
secured by pasturing the meadows after
its crop of hav has been harvested will
thake up for the damage done is, to say
pecially least, questionable. Thi9 is es¬
the case when the summer is
kot aiid dry, aDd the regular pastures
we cropped down and the meadows
™. quite consequence furnishing nearly or
ail of pasturage are eaten down
close.
^ a,r growth of top in summer pro¬
tects the roots in summer as well as ia
winter, and this is taken away, done by
pasturing.
Some food is, of course, secured and
the stock kept thrifty when otherwise
they would be almost certain to run
down. In some cases, when the mea¬
dows have been cut reasonably early,
there is no question but that pasturing
can be done without injury, if care is
taken not to allow the stock to crop the
grass down too close. In most cases it
will be better to cut and feed some green
crop at this time rather than allow the
meadows to be eaten down close.
Of course, in many cases the meadows
are pastured one season and a fair crop
of hay is harvested, but this is not proof
that the meadows were not damaged oi
that a larger and more profitable crop
would not have been secured if the stock
had been kept out. With hay, as with
all other crops grown on the farm, a
large yield of good quality means a pay¬
ing crop, while a light yield will barely
pay expenses. In many localities it is
quite an item to keep a meadow as long
as a good growth and yield can be bad,
and to do this care must be taken of it.
If pastured too closely in hot, dry wea¬
ther more or less of the plants will be
killed out, and if this is kept up a re¬
seeding will be necessary. avoided. In
Extremes should be a
favorable season, when a good growth
has been made, some pasturing can often
be done with benefit. But again, when
hot weather sets in, as is often the case
immediately after hay harvest, pasturing in
is frequently a serious injury, and any
season considerable damage will be done
if the stock is allowed to eat the grass
down too close.—St. Louis Republic.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Perennial phloxes are growing in pop¬
ularity.
Lilacs may be propagated by mean3 of
grafting.
If you want fine specimens thin out
severely the tree fruits.
Over-crowding animals is the surest
way of inviting disease.
Bran comes nearer being a complete
stock food than anything else.
If flies infest the stable scatter some
chloride of lime and observe its effect.
For pear scab, spray the affected tree
repeatedly with the Bordeaux mixture.
High-priced clothes and low-priced
cattle will not pay the mortgage on the
farm.
Corn silage, with gluten meal and
bran, is an excellent ration for feeding
Peeves.
The California privet may be propo
gated by cuttings planted in the open
ground.
Stock owners should be more inter¬
ested in preventing disease than in seek¬

A Good Suggestion.
Of late it has become a very common
thing tor newly married couples to apply
for a divorce before they have been mar¬
ried Bix months. The papers are full of
such cases. In fact, the early divorce
threatens to become the proper caper.
Some time ago a young man living in
Harlem was about to be married to a
widow, who had had several husbands at
one time or another. They were talking
about their approaching wedding, when
it occured to him to remark that he pro¬
posed renting a pew in “a fashionable
church foi their mutual accommodation.
“I think it wou d be a good idea to
rent two pews, my dear.”
“Why, darling, why should we rent
two pews? We certainly will not need
L
more than one.”
“That depends on circumstances.
After we are married we will go off on a
bridal trip of five or six months, won’t
we?”
“Yes, my love.”
“Well, then, don’t you see before we
come back something may cause one of
us to sue for a divorce, and then if we
had to sit in the same pew people might
think we were strange and eccentric, and
accuse us of trifling with sacred things
and each other’s affections.”
An Angel Fish a Cannibal.
A novelty at the zoological gardens is a
specimen of tho “angel fish,” which has
been placed in a tank along with a num¬
ber of flounders. The habits of the fish
suggest that it is an angel remarkably
we 11 disguised, for it is one of the most
ferocious and bloodthirsty fishes extant.
Small though the specimen at the zoo is,
it is quite possible that toe tank where it
lives may be the scene of a tragedy, foi
flounders and flat fish of various kinds are
precisely the diet which this creature pre
tors, ff he fish has also received, for an
equally inscrutable reason, the name of
“monkey fish.” The best name of the
many which it enjoys is a shark ray.
The creature is intermediate in its form
between the flattened rays and the sharks.
