HATTERS OF INTEREST TO AGRI- CULTURltTt. fJe-tavDaaa the TltapBltaie Plstanea Apart ta Sat Apala From Farmers' Review: Again' this same old subject has come up lor a rehearing. If we are to judge by the divergence of opinions held by writers in our various farm papers, it must appear to novices a complicated ques tion. I, for one, wish I had no more difficult matters to deal with in horti culture. People know that their chil dren have to nave clothes according to their sise. Different varieties of fruit trees differ very much as to the sirs of their growth. Location and cli irate also play Important parts. A Tallinn Sweet in some of our middle and eastern states would need at least forty feet each way. The same variety grown in the northwest would not mei thirty feet each way. If one were set ting out Tetofskys twenty feet each way would be an abundance of room. One rule vannot be made to apply to all varieties and all locations. The most approved plan for setting apple trees in the northwest, and one quite generally adopted here by our best in formed Horticulturists, as about this: With the large growing varieties place the rows thirty feet apart and set the trees twenty eet apart In the rows. I refer to such varieties as Talman Sweet. Plum's Cider, and Northwest Greening. Varieties like Tetofsky and Whitney can be set ia rows twenty feet apart, the trees being fifteen feet apart in the rows. The rows should run north and south, or, what is better still. In the line of the sun in Febru ary. This plan has beea thoroughly tested here and this arrangement ot the trees has proved to be a very Im portant factor In protecting the trees from sua killing, which has proved so detrimental to orchards In the north west Here we have too much hot sun and dry air. In the eastern part of the country they have too much cloudy, damp weather aad not enough sun. In setting apple trees one needs to know hit varieties aad what each one requires. He must also understand his location and climate. By follow ing this plan one can have the rows the same distance apart east and west, but can set the trees of smaller growth closer together in the rows north and south. This gives each variety Its proper space and aids very much ia making an orchard self-protecting. EDSON GAYLORD. Floyd County, Iowa. Mr. Gaylord says, "Set the trees In the line of the February sun?" Did he not intend to say the February sun at a certaia hour? Ed. F. R. Flnans U Central Mlaete. From the Farmers' Review: A good many plum trees have been planted in this vicinity during the last few years, and more are being planted each year. While the native sorts do well and are profitable, there is some doubt whether the Japan plums will do well here. The Abundance, a Japan variety, more largely planted than any other variety, bore a big crop in 1898. but failed to bear crops the two following years. The trees bloom full, but the fruit dees not set I think the very cold winter of 1898-9 injured the trees; but there may be other causes for their failure to bear. The Burbank (another Jap anese variety), has produced well since that cold winter, but the plums most ly rot before ripening, as do all Euro pean plums here unless very carefully sprayed. Our European plums, Lom bard. Niagara, Reine Claude and Jef ferson, have set full of fruit nearly every year, but have generally rotted. We have found that spraying the Ni agara and Jefferson gave us good crops of plums on those trees. We began to spray as soon as the petals had fallen, using a weak Bordeau mixture and parts green. We sprayed four or five times at Intervals of tea to fourteen days. The Niagara plums were very good when cooked. We have tried six or eight varieties of plums for canning, but I think the quality of the Niagara the best of all. We have sprayed for the curcullas and believe that to be cheaper than jarring, while it Is just a aare. FRANK AIKIN, Macon County, Illinois. Goals. From Farmers' Review: In reply to D. A. Taylor's inquiries on Angora goats, I beg to say there is nothing that will equal the Angora goat for clearing up brush land. We are bow clearing up our second farm In five years. The present farm consists of 500 acres. When we went on this farm two years ago It was so thickly cov ered with underbrush that a man on foot could scarcely get through it This piece of land was located in a section near here where cleared land was selling for from S40 to $75 per acre. Today this land Is as clear of underbrush as It Is possible to make it, and the blue grass is now coming on. We paid $7 per acre for the land. Any one can figure the profit for them selves, in a year from now h.n in place of the brush there Is a good stand of blue grass, instead of this land cost ing IS to $10 per acre to dear. The Angora did it and clothed and board ed himself while doing it to say noth ing of what he has done for us In oth er ways breeding and so forth. The average cost of carload lots of graded does is from $4.50 to $6 per hundred weight The cost of registered does is from $10 to most any pnee. some does recently sold at auction in Kansas City for $275; these, of course, were prise win ners. They are prolific breeders, some having twins and some only one kid at a birth. There Is a regular demand for them as mutton, either In Chicago or Kansas City; some lots have brought higher prices than mutton sheep. As to the market for their wool (mohair), we got SO cents per pound for most of our spring clip. Ia the same shipment we sent our sheep cup sad received 15 and IS cents for It "quite a difference, don't you think?" They will stand any amount of cola; jn fact their fleece grows longer and has a better luster In the north than In the south, but they ' should have aelter from stormy weather, cold, taet, raias, etc. Any fence that will hold sheep will hold goats. They do f JatP at least, we never saw one jump. We are la a section where Plenty of wolves and all our afgahors keep dogs sad we have nev er, to oar knowledge, lost a goat by "- oogs or wolves. We have, how r. tost some very young kids by wrtvss, hat not aay that were half growa or elder. B. F.

There are now twenty-five co-operative - slaughter houses in Deamark. which In 1899 killed about 729.000 head of swine, at a value of about 31.250,000 kroner (about $8,000,000), and about 22,450 head of cattle for export at a value of about 3.500.000 kroner. The largest slaughter houses killed from 58.000 to C1.000 pigs In 1899. and the smaller from 9.000 to 10.000. In 1897 twenty-one slaughter houses were stat ed as having been established, at a cost of 3.543,000 kroner, and the number of persons sharing In the profits .of these twenty-one establishments was 41.728.

CToanlna aTnrsa From Farmers' Review: The marsh lands referred to by F. K. in a recent number of the Review must contain a large proportion of vegetable matter. We may, therefore, assume with a rea sonable degree of fairness that the la bor of draining might be largely ac complished during the early fall and winter while other farm work is slack. My experience with such land Is quite limited, but from what I know it is a work not to be accomplished in a day. Patience and endurance, with perse verance will bring about astonishing results. My plan would be to drain as above Indicated, but if not practical on account of freezing I would do the work during, the summer season and plow the land during the fall, if dry enough. Otherwise it should remain undisturbed until the water is suffici ently drained out of the soil to permit plowing without discomfort to either team or plowman. If the proper con dition for plowing is not obtainable the first spring or fall after draining let It stand until it Is. After plowing do not hasten to get a crop upon it at once, but let it have a winter's freez ing and thawing, or exposure to a sum mer's sun and rain. Both will he ben eficial especially if it is stirred enough during the summer season to keep down the weeds, allowing none to go to seed. One of the first crops and one most likely to succeed is rape, which may be sown broadcast, and If not sown un til the middle of June on clean ground free from weeds will be able to take care of itself until time to feed off either with hogs or sheep; preferably the latter. Pasture off two or three rape crops in successive seasons, after which It may be sown to millet, fol lowed by barley, then to timothy. These marsh Unas are likely too rich in vegetable matter to seed to blue grass and expect good returns. The more profitable methods of farming for the first few years will be cropping either cereal or forage crops. Just such lands, if not too heavy, make the finest kind of land for the growing of onions and celery. Some of these same soils where properly managed in growing the above crops are to-day giving larger profits per acre than any other lands of which I have a personal knowledge. A few years of cultivation will do much to ward bringing these lands into con dition to grow such garden crops as onions and celery, and if the land is not too light may after a few years grow blue grass with no small degree of success. J. Fremont Hickman, Ohio Experiment Station. Asaarlenn-Crawa Clever Seed. To the merits' of American clover seed the Secretary of Agriculture ia his annual report testifies as follows: "Owing to a controversy in Europe re garding the relative value of American and European clover seed, the depart ment has undertaken some compara tive experiments, the Initial series of which was conducted at Washington. Many samples ot clover seed of known origa from the different countries ot Europe and from different parts of the United States and Canada were grown ender like conditions. Cuttings of hay were made at suitable Intervals, the product of each plat being care fully weighed. ' These experiments, which have now been under way for two years, show conclusively that un der the conditions existing here the European red clover is decidedly infe rior in productiveness to the Ameri can. Apparently the American strain is better adapted to the conditions of bright sunshine, periodic heat aad dryness that exist here. For the pur poses of our farmers, therefore, a de cision of the question whether to use' American or Imported seed Is easily reached. During the past year a series of supplementary experiments has been started at typical selected areas in different parts of the United States, to see whether these results hold in the principal clover-growing states." We believe that it will pay many of our readers to investigate what are called the "trap nests." These nests, as most of our readers know, are made so that a hen about to lay goes in and the entrance is automatically closed. After laying she goes out of another door into another yard. The layers are thus kept separate from those that do no laying. The idea is variously mod ified. The man that wants to improve the laying qualities of bis fowls will find some form of this nest of assist ance. There are some expensive pat ented trap nests and there are others used that are not patented and of small cost Others can be made at home. It makes all the difference in the world whether our religion is an. inner force or an outer fashion. Ram's Horn. Thomas W. Lawson lost $12,000,000 by the recent drop in copper.

' From the Farmers' Review: Tweaty aix years ago I sold my aarah ealefc- aad bought pare-bred light Braa- which gave ma aatietactloa for alx years. Thea I removed to Chris tian Co., I1L. and found that after a rain I sometimes had to take the baby chicks from the yard, wash the black, tar-llke mud from their feet aad cor ral them until the mad ia the yard dried up which it seemed ia no harry to do. Then I decided that for my lo cation a variety of chlckeas that did aot need to be "well feathered to the end of the second toe" would be better; bo I procured the Barred Plymouth Rock, because their legs aad feet were free from feathers. ' I have bred them ever since, aad am better pleased with them all the time for these reasons: They are large enough for every purpose, hardy from shell to table or market good foragers, and seem to thrive In all aorta of weather, geatle In habit good layers and good mothers, always in fine con dition, ready to sell as broilers at two months or can be kept with profit un til large enough to go as roasters, flesh fine grained, excellent flavor, plump carcass and yellow skin. Once during my poultry experience I tried the (so-called) egg machine, the Leghorn, but my experience was so un satisfactory that I discarded them. I also breed pure-bred Pekin ducks, and make more money out of them than from my chickens. In 1900' I began with fifteen ducks and two drakes; I sold $15 worth of eggs for hatchlag. sent sixty-nine to the market, picked' feathers for two feather beds, and sold during the year $42 worth ot ducks, some of them as breeders. This year I kept twenty ducks, and although the year is not out, I have sold $20 worth of eggs, $23 worth of ducks, $8 worth of feathers, and now have 2Q0 ducks and twenty-one pounds of feathers. S. RoseCarr. Tare Klads mt BTaefc. Although muck Is a subject that has Seen written about much, it Is as yet one that is only half uaderstood by many fanners that have, often un known to themselves, a bed of mack available. One man says: "Haul out your muck and mix It with the manure at once." Another says, "By no means. Dig up your muck in the fall and let It lie in ridges, so that the frost can work on it and through it" Both are right, for each man Is speaking of a particular kind of muck. In a muck bed will often be found two kinds of muck. That on top seems to be moist black soil. It is so friable that it falls easily into a disintegrated mass. . Such muck. If tested with lit mus paper, will often show almost no acid. Such is ready for composting at once or to be applied to land de ficient in humus. Its readiness for ase Is perhaps due aa much as anything to the effect ot the frosts of maay win ters. Below the first layer of muck will often be found a cheesy mass. It is sticky and is la that state of no value for composting. It not infrequently contains as high as 80 per cent ot wa ter. If dug in the summer it dries out hard and lumpy and is in that condi tion fit only for fuel, tor which It Is used in some European countries. To reduce it to an available fertiliser It should be heaped in long ridges in the fall and left to the action of the frost till it has taken on the character of that to which reference was made above. It may then.be composted or used in its character as a humus maker. KleTStlea and Thermal Una It is currently supposed that in ev ery state the latitudes of fruit growing lie directly east and west and that a single point can be fixed as the north ern or southern limit of the produc tion of certain varieties. Such is not the case. The heat lines govern them selves largely by elevation. In the state of Iowa, for instance, the fruiting periods of the same varieties of fruit move not directly north but Is toward the Northwest It Is said that the northwest part of Iowa Is 1,000 feet higher than the southeast This alti tude means much in changed tempera ture. Kaealas Sean Patataaa. From the Farmers' Review: I do not dig my potatoes till late in the fall, when I dig them and put them in boxes containing a bushel each. These I put into the cellar. It is necessary to keep the temperature in the cellar as low as possible, and to do this I keep the cellar windows open at night till the weather gets so cold that there would be danger of freezing the pota toes. In the spring, If I find I have any to spare, I send them to market A. Alson, Sangamon County, Illinois. Probably there is no better preserva tive of whole eggs than water glass. The Farmers' Review some time ago called the attention of its readers to some experiments with it that had been made in Europe. Since that time preserving eggs in liquid glass has been quite extensively tried both in this country and In Europe. Some of the most Interesting of these tests are the ones carried on for nearly a year by the Rhode Island Experiment sta tion. Twenty-five separate tests were made, the eggs being kept for from 7 to 11 months. In 19 of these tests all the eggs were found to be good at the ends of the periods. One test gave 9f per cent good, 10 per cent bad; one test 80 per cent good and 20 per cent bad; one test 85 per cent good and 15 per cent bad;' one test 95 per cent good,s5 per cent bad; one test none good, all bad; one test '10 per cent good, 99 per cent bad. This makes aa average of about 90 per cent good to 10 per cent bad. Certainly this is a remarkable showing. A man well versed in horticultural lore tells the Farmers' Review that most of the fruits and vegetables grown in hot houses out of their season are of exceedingly poor flavor, though they bring fancy prices on the markets. He says: Cucumbers thus grown have the color ot cucumbers and the shape o cucumbers, but that Is all. The same Is true of tomatoes, which have the ruddy cheeks-of those grown in the open fields but lacking almost eatirely their flavor. Nevertheless, the. real test is, from the fruit-grower's stand point what they will bring In the market, and judged by that test, the growing of fruit out of season is to be encouraged.
