A few growers have orchards of dwarf pear trees reaching commer cial proportions. These are most nu merous in southern Michigan. An other and more considerable number of pear growers have been planting new orcharus of standard trees with dwarf pears as "fillers. That is they use rows of dwarf pear trees between the standards, with a view of getting several crops from the former and cut ting them out before the standard trees needed all the space. Apples are still occasionally grown as dwarfs, though we have never heard of a sin gle instance in which they have beeu planted lor commercial purposes. Other trees, such as plums, peaches apricots and cherries are almost total ly unknown as dwarf. J The dwarf fruit is secured by a com- ' bination of two processes propaga- I lion and pruning. The tree is first pro pagated upon some slow growing mot. which tends to dwarf it that is. to "stunt it" ami then it is pruned back severely, and not allowed to fill a great space. This second part the pruninz is quite essential with many DIFFERENCE. Tkere is a difference between the farmer who is a farmer by chance and the-farmer who is a farmer by choice. The former is generally a man deco rated, so to speak, from head to foot with mortgages and judgments: while the latter is a man who despises debts, and whose original capital, maybe, consisted of only a wondrous store of energy and cool judzment the greatest factors in the matter of fortune-building on or off the farm. No matter what industry engages the attention of a man. he must, by the nature of things, be interested in his work to be successful. To be in terested means to have same choice at least in the avocation he pursues. The usual difference between farmers by chance and farmers by choice is well illustrated by a man sleeping and awake. To the farmer who has made farm ing his choice, every day has a bright outlook. When he gazes upon a field being prepared for seeding, he does not see drouth and disaster awaiting the growing crop, but instead, he sees a vision of waving grain and grass. When he looks upon the rich and gol den harvest. like a true husbandman, he sees at a glance only joyous pros perity, the ripened fruits of his earn est and heroic labor. Farming is to-day the world's great est industry, and it will be a bright day for agriculture when the slow and sleeping mortal who farms by chance is awakened to realize his op portunities. In June at the close of the 1302-i:; term of the Northwestern University, there were graduated six- KEEP GOOD COWS.

This test, even if conducted for a hort time, will show you facts and not what you guess about it. Some people refuse to spend money for the best feed for their cows. This is poor economy, because it is simply an in vestment which will bring good re turns. In selecting choice dairy cows . if the richest milk is wanted, keep the Jerseys, if both butter and milk are many items of very special interest, wanted, keep the Ayreshire, but if a All readers of the clouded annals of j The Origin of Smallpox The literary as well as the patho logic history of smallpox presents large quantity of milk is wanted for the manufacture of cheese, then ttie Holsteins must have first place.
