Duhamel, Jan. 24, 1900.
Dear Sir and Friend We had a
lucky trip, made good connections and
got to Wetaskiwln Monday afternoon;
stayed there all night, bought a pony
and saddle for the boy and hired a
three-seated rig for the balance of us,
and got home to dinner next day;
caught the boys cleaning up and get
ting ready to come after us. Wednes
day the snow was all gone and we had
bare ground and bright sunshine for
a month, and it has been pleasant
weather ever since. The ground is
frozen about two feet and about six
inches of snow just enough for good
sleighing. We had one cold spell in
December. The thermometer went
down to 32 below zero, but we did not
suffer with the cold at all. We have
worked every day all winter, are all
well and feeling well; Jiave built a log
house 1Sx18, two log stables 16xlS, and
are now busy on a well. We have 10
cows, three other cattle and six head
of horses. The boys send their best
respects to Mr. Huchison, and say they
will talk to him enough to pay for not
writing when he gets up here; will
write you again next spring and tell
you all about the winter. We all
unite in sending you and family our
best wishes and respects and hope this
will find you all well.
Yours very respectfully,

A. L. Hatch spoke on what can be
done to make plant live, grow and
bear fruit He said in part: A tree
or any plant should have a balanced
ration. The soil must be salted to
the plant to be grown, and mast con
tain the proper foods. Thus, you can't
grow apple trees successfully on mack
soils. Cultivation should begin early
in the season, for it Is early In the
season that the tree makes most of Its
growth. Every fruit tree and plant
should make a good growth every sea
son. We should mulch and cultirate
our trees every year. I hare found
that spring pruning gives better fruit
age than at any other season of the
year. Later pruning removes foliage
that contains growth matter.
Water sprouts and those not coming
out where wanted should be rubbed off
in the spring, while yet in the bud
stage. The real winter protection is
in so growing the tree that the wood
is well ripened and hardened up tc
stand the winter. The man that per
mits the foliage of his trees to be dam
aged by insects or diseases will' have
trees with wood only partly ripened,
and such will have less power to stand
hard winter conditions than will the
trees that have had good foliage to
ripen up their wood.
Q. Do you recommend puddling the
roots of all trees before setting?
A. Yes, sir. But perhaps I should
not say all trees. However, I do not
know any other way of getting good
capillarity, that is, getting the roots
so Intimately connected with the dirt
that capillary attraction can operate
between them. This does not mean
that we should make a thick, heavy
mud to hold the roots. Would not you,
Mr. Kellogg, puddle your trees before
setting?
M. S. Kellogg Yes.
Q. How deep is It advisable to cul
tivate the orchard?
Mr. Hatch That depends on how
much cultivation the orchard has pre
viously received. If it has been always
in grass, the roots will be found so
near the surface that only very super
ficial cultivation can be given; but if
the orchard has been cultivated from
the first, the roots will be deeper. If
I had trees that had been planted for
ten years, and never cultivated, I
would not cultivate more than four
inches deep. Grass sod in the orchard
is very injurious to the trees, especial
ly at times of the year when soil wa
ter is deficient and trees have to de
pend to some extent on the occasional
showers. In that case the roots of the
grass drink up about all of the mois
ture before it gets down to the roots.
I have dug up sod in the orchard hours
after a good shower and found that
not one drop had got within reach of
the roots of the trees; every blade of
grass was acting as a pump, pumping
the moisture back Into the atmosphere.
There are multitudes of trees that by
reason of the sod beneath them are
thirsty most of the time during the
growing season. Tou must remember
that not a particle of food can enter
the tree except by being carried in
water; therefore you can starve a tree
to death by depriving it of water. The
reason that so many orchards in grass
are moderately successful is because
they get in the springtime the water
from melting snow and from spring
rains, and for a part of the growing
season have all the water they can
use. But they remain thirsty for a
large part of the season.
Q. Can't you extend the season of
."Jltivation if the cultivation is light?
Mr. Hatch Professor Bailey says
that the orchard should jiot be culti
vated after midsummer.
Q. Can we make trees bear alter
nate years?
Mr. Hatch es. If the trees are go
ing to bear this year we can prune a
part of them and prevent them from
bearing a crop this year; they will
then probably bear next year.
Superficial FaraiiBK
There is a time in the history of
every country when superficial farming
pays better than any other kind of
farming, or at least that is the opinion
we hold without giving the assertion
a systematic investigation. That time
is when inhabitants are few and the
rich lands free and abundant. The
land is pastured over superficially,
plowed superficially and cropped over
superficially. The results are satis
factory. The new settlers, living in
log cabins that cost nothing but labor,
pay no taxes to speak of, and find it
possible to get all the clothing and
other necessities from the products of
their own lands or flocks or herds.
With all wants abundantly supplied
there is no inducement to do anything
but superficial farming. The fathers
transmit their methods to their sons,
and they to succeeding generations,
and that mode of farming becomes
fixed. In time the methods come to
be regarded as "orthodox" for all con
ditions. Meantime people become more nu
merous and land scarce. Populations
crowd each other and the value of
land rises. Taxes multiply, and the
farm expenses become items of the
first consideration. It is evident that
new problems have arisen that the
old-style farmers cannot solve. The
customs of generations, however,
prove strong, and the multitude of
farm owners will bang to them, even
to the point of seeing their farms slip
away into the hands of the mort
gagors. Superficial farming must be discard
ed. It is not in accordance with the
changed people and times.- It cannot
give revenue enough to meet the obli
gations that the new conditions im
pose. Superficial tillage must give way
to intensive tillage. Superficial pas
turage must give way to a system of
pasturage' that utilizes the soil to a
foot in depth instead of to a depth of
two or three inches. Superficial op
erations of all kinds must be aban
doned except In the far West, where
lands are still cheap and conditions
of life are primitive. The- wise .farm
er will be willing- to sell a part of his
Immense farm and use the capital thus
obtained to operate in a more intensive
manner the smaller area of land re
maining. Feedbaa; Fat lato Milk.
The New Zealand Dairyman, com
menting on the attempts to feed ft
Into milk,-says:
In 1874-77 the great German investi
gator Keuhu, feeding cows on palm
nut meal in particular, and also malt
sprouts, peanut meal and' cotton ted
, .. & ai &.-- I
meat, conciuueu inai iobw ream la
creased directly the amount of fat in
the milk, and for a tint these state
ments were hardly disputed. In 1871
the same learned Investigator, alter
further experimenting, changed his
views and wrote: "The system of
feeding is only of secondary import
ance for milk production; the yield ot
milk Is primarily dependent on the de
velopment or productive capacity ot
the milk glands ot each cow, and even
with changes from light to heavy feed'
the supply does not increase in propor
tion to the nutriment supplied. The
same holds true where the farmer alms
to Increase any single component ot
milk as fat since it is not possible
to obtain a one-sided increase of this
or any other component in the milk by
changes In the system of feeding. No
such changes can, at any rate, be
reached as of practical importance."
But this plain statement from one ot
the most careful investigators the
world has produced was not accepted
as final, and scientists have worked
over the question again and again in
a multitude of waj-3.
Perhaps the best illustrations ot
how they have started and how they
came out of the investigations in many
cases was by Patrick at the Iowa sta
tion. This investigator fed one lot ot
his cows heavily with sugar meal, a by
product of the glucose factory, giving
to another lot a lighter feed of mixed
grain; then the conditions were re
versed. Analysis showed apparently
In some cases that the cows bad in
creased as much as .5 of one per cent
butter-fat, and the conclusion of the
investigator was that sugar meal was
one of the feeds which would surely
Increase the fat percentage of milk.
But all the cows on the trial did not
increase the fat in their milk, and to
pile up more data another experiment
was undertaken with sugar meal as
one of the feeds. This time there was
no increase in fat, and the investigator
ceased bis contentions that sugar meal
fed to cows would put fat Into their
milk.
Apple Mag-sot.
One of the worst pests that the apple
grower has to fight is the railroad
worm, called also the pulp worm, and
the apple maggot, says a communica
tion from the Vermont Experiment
Station. The fruit growers of Ver
mont are unanimous in giving this
insect the first rank among their in
sect enemies. It Is worse than the
tent caterpillar. That can be entirely
overcome by spraying, whereas spray
ing has no effect on the railroad worm.
The railroad worm, or apple maggot,
is the cause of the pulpy, punky con
dition of the apples as we find them
now In the stored fruit and in that of
fered for sale. The eggs are laid Just
under the skin of the apple by a small
fly. This fly begins her work in June
and keeps it up pretty much all sum
mer, so that there may be worms ot
all ages in the apples. She has a
strong preference for sweet apples, and
has practically 'ruined the crop of Tal
mans last year. Still she works in all
varieties, sour as well as sweet, and
causes hundreds of dollars' loss to the
fruit grower. The authorities at the
Vermont Experiment Station frankly
admit that no satisfactory way of deal
ing with it has been discovered. They
say that considerable good can be ac
complished by keeping hogs or sheep
in the orchard to pick up the windfalls.
These windfalls are usually full of
apple maggots, and the hogs digest
them out of existence. Experiments
are being made at various places in
the United States, and we hope event
ually to know some more effective way
of dealing with this pest. But for the
present we must rely on the practice
of destroying the windfalls.
Tillage Value of Subsoil.
The value of the subsoil for tillage
purposes must always depend on its
local character. It is therefore mani
festly impossible to give advice for
its treatment that can be generally
applied. As we use the terms, there
is a great difference between soil anfi
subsoil, but this difference varies so
greatly that in some cases the term
subsoil is almost identical with the
term soil. The soil is that part of the
ground lying nearest the air, and Is
composed of pulverized rock, humus,
animal remains and minute particles
of still undecayed egetable matter.
Being nearest the air the elements of
the air, which tend to break up the
rocky material in which fhe plant food
is bound up, can operate. The frosts
take hold earliest and remain longest.
The subsoil is that lying below, and
consists generally of rock, with little
vegetable matter, and little opportuni
ty for action by the frosts of winter,
the heat of summer or the elements ot
the air. There are, however, excep
tions in some of our prairies, and
wherever the soil has been deposited
to great depth by action of water in
swamps and rivers. There are subsoils
that may, by deep plowing, be incor
porated with the soil to great advan
tage, since their texture is similar,
and since they contain both some veg
etable matter and mineral elements
set loose by chemical action. When it
is possible to use such soils for cul
tural purposes, unuerdraining will bo
found to make them more available.
In many localities the subsoil is so
heavy that its incorporation with the
surface soil would prove a detriment.

I never paid attention to. But I would
not destroy them all, says Samuel Mil

of them stand for family use. The

Fpoonful ot it dissolved in a tumbler
of hot water will give great relief
when the throat is sore and there is
hoarseness. Then I consider an elder
berry pie one of the best, and a wine
made of elderberries is fine and by no
means hard to take.
Chocolate creams. Flavor some fon
dant with vanilla and roll into small
tialls. Let stand a while to harden.
Melt In a double boiler or saucepan
placed in another containing hot water,
a quarter of a pound of best unsweet
ened chocolate. Add two tablcspoon
fuls of cream, a teasponful ot butter

Keep the chocolate warm by letting it
remain over the hot water. Dip the
cream-balls into "the chocolate. Piace

The Chief Justice of Samoa Says
Peruna is The Very Best Catarrh Cure.
Coirt Boom Scene where Judge Chambers maintained the supremacy of the United States in Samoa."
Im a receat letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., Chief Justice Chambers says the following cf Peruna:
"I have tried one bottle of Peruna, and I can truth"
fully say it is one of the best tonics I ever used, and
I take pleasure in recommending it to all sufferers who
are in need of a good medicine. I can recommend it as
one of the very best remedies for catarrh."

Servant girls in Boston who read
Homer, Foethe and Schiller are spoken
of in the labor bulletins of Massa
chusetts just issued. Investigation by
employes of the state board of labor
as to the style of books common in
Boston kitchens .showed that while
cook books of various make are tho
most common, that good books of oth
er kinds were not at all unusual. In
two or three cases history, either of
the United States or England, seemed
to be preferred. In one a philosophi
cal or critical wors was mentioned
in one the works of Goethe and Schil
ler and the poems ot Homer were spec
ified, and in one the Chautauqua
course was followed.

In his book on "Mad Humanity: IU
Forms, Apparent and Obscure," Dr.
Winslow states his belief that insanity
is on the increase; that the degenera
tion of the human race is "in grad
ual and sad progression;" and that
much of this result is due to indul
gence in alcohol. His attempted
proof of Lombroso's theory that gen
ius is akin to insanity consists merely
in a list of geniuses who were mora
or less deranged.
