To 'set out 'adTd care for an ' orchard
until it comes into bearing requires
considerable labor - and expense, and
to find out after working four or five
years to secure good growth that a
mistake in the 'selection of varieties
has been made will prove a costly ex
perience. Of course there is always a chance
of being imposed upon by the nursery
man. The farmer may make a good
selection and order them, and re
ceive them properly labeled according
to his order only to find out that he
has been swindled when . the, . trees
commence to bear too "late to avoid
th lo&S. -we ' t
The only safe plan is to buy only
from ' responsible nurserymen, who
will not substitute after accepting the
order. , There are plenty such so that
there is not much excuse 'for "buying
of irresponsible dealers.
The best plan il to select for the
principal dependence varieties that
already have been tried and proved.
There Is an abundauce of these with
out risking too much on untried or
unknown sorts. Because some trav
eling agent who is interested in sell
ing some high-sounding, variety at a
big price' recommends them is. not a
BiifBeient reason for investing.
Difference in soil and cultivation of

grow ill and quality of the fruit, and
the only safe guide is:to.take old and

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
Sprarlas wftb Crude Petroleum Haa
-Been Fonad Effective In De- "
atroyiaa; the Peat.-
Prof. John II. Smith. reports. to the
association for the advancement of
science that he has found spraying
with crude " petroleum to be a sure
method of destroying the San Jose
scale.' " lie first tried it on a Duchess
pear' .tree, . which . was badly- infested.
In the early part of January, 1S9S, he
.painted .the tree thoroughly from the
tops of .the. twigs, to the ground.' . .Long
before" Vpring" opened it" "was "easy to
see that there was not a living scale
r?aaxBlI3W'?J1: lPe -ree l5
e11 in the spring, about' a dozen trees
were sprayed with a nozzle to cover
them - as completely as possible. -As
they had begun to make leaf growth,
he found in some .jcases foliage- in
jured, and when an extra heavy dose-'
of oil ."vyas put on. the. fruit .buds were
kill edr The tree treated"" in winter
not" only blossomed and bore well, but
it made a rank and vigorous growth,
and the foliage bad a color that en
abled anyone to identify it as far as
they could see it. It was as if an
application of nitrate of soda had
been made around it. This increase
in vigor and growth continues up to
the. present time.
The" next winter many trees were
treated, including apple, peach, plum
and cherry, and by his advice many
others tested it, so that probably 2,000
to 3,000 trees were treated that win
ter. In no case has any tree been
injured, and in all cases the scale was
destroyed and the., tree appeared vig
orous and healthy during the summer.
In one case where there were three
irows of apple trees 30 to 40 years old,
the middle row alone waa sprayed",
and In June it was a sight to behold.
The ' other rows looked sickly by the
side of that, and on that the fruit set
full and fair. American Cultivator

Sodium Nitrate for Gardens.
Sodium nitrate is especially valuable
for intensive culture in gardens and
fields tributarj' to large cities where
quickness and abundance of growih are
factors of prime necessity. The ready
formed nitrate is an indispensable fer
tilizer for flowers and gardens as well
as for fields. It performs a function
which cannot be easily replaced by any
other form of nitrogenous material
among field crops. The sugar beet is
especially susceptible jto the influence
of nitrate of soda and this is the most
economic form of nitrogenous fertilizer
that" can be secured. Dr. S. YV. Wiley,

In studying the Ruy Lopez it is well

from the Hereford Times:
"The Tartaseh trap has a rather comic
history. In the Frankfort tournament,
1SS Dtv Tarrafceh, succeeded in induc
ing the late Jr-kertori,:; perhaps - the
greatest master ot chess-openings of this
or any othCT tinl&rto'walk in"td"thistrap.'
At Manchester, 1890, Mr. Gunsberg.who,
curiously enough, had been a competi
tor at Frankfort ia 1887 and might,
therefore, have befeh supposed to know
all about this trap, fell also a victim to
the wily doctor. Mr. Gunsberg resigned
the game on the 14th move. But per
haps the funniest -of all is that although
.this game was published and much com
mented upon in the Manchester . papers
on the following -day, yet two days later
one of the competitors in the minor tour
nament caught his opponent m the very
same pitfall- ..The order of moves is as
follows: " ' '.- '

If now Black reply PxKt, White wins
by 13, RxKt, and if .12 . QxKt, then
either by 13," RxKt, or BxP wins.
Black's mistake consist chiefly in 8
R-K3, which should be Kt-K2; but,
failing in this, he should play 9 ,
B-QB4 instead of B-JK2."
The following are taken from Rev.
Cunnington's admirable little Jxok,

like to see in the hands of every member

-.Valentine, Neb., May 24, 1900. Editor
of Nebraska Independent: Under date
March 15th, 1900, an article appeared in
your paper from Chadron, "signed "An
Observer," which among, other things
stated that Mr. Pettijohn, who is register
of the land office here, made the state
ment at a republican conference at
Chadron in Substance thai h had a
mortgage on the Valentine Democrat,
which was then published by-MF. Robert
Goddf&nd controlled" its policy arid when
it refused to ' do his ' bidding he would
take it out of the field.
- I wish to say that this statement of
Mr. Pettijohn's, so far as the records of
this county disclose, are untrue. This
information came- tome from the most
reliable iources and I had good reason
to believe it was' true.' In" justice to Mr.
apod, I would request teat you' give
this letter a place in your paper. .
Respectfully, .

He's For Poynter
Editor Independent: I am much grat
ified by the stand taken by your valuable
paper in regard to our farmer governor
being renominated, because I cannot un
derstand why. Gov. Poynter should be
turned down at this time for some up
start of a lawyer. Have we no one who
is qualified to aspire to. office except
those who have been kicked through
some law course and have flocked "to the
reform forces when it ' was discovered
that they were-in the majority? -I will
admit that our governor may have made
some mistakes, but his good intentions
cannot be questioned. While Cuming
county, has not ted at the public crib,
she will nevertheless continue to roll up
from iUO w bUU majority tor the reform
ticket this fall, and we would consider it
most ungrateful, and a .monumental
blunder, should W. A. Poynter be rele
gated to the rear in order to make room
for some lawyer who has perhaps not as
yet cut his wisdom teeth in populism. I
would say to the old guard, - stand by
your guns and see that one of the best
governors we ever had, W. A. Poynter, be
renominated. UUAJS. uKArtV

We have received the .following from
one of our advertising patrons in Illi
nois:
1 Editor Independent The honey I of
fer for sale is fine in quality and I have
snippea to your state tor many years
past. I have "been in the business of
producing honey-since my boyhood days
and I believe I know how to handle the
bees and honey so it may be the best
that we can produce. I at all times
ship by freight and the charges are not
high. I have no fault found with my
honey and many words of praise. 1 say
this because it is a fact and not to boast
in any way. The sentiment of your pa
per suits me as I have been a populist
from the start. Wishing you success
this fall against the peoples foes, I re
main truly yours. F. A. SNELL.
