Root cellars come in handy this time oi the year and if the apple grower is without one he should take steps to construct one. The root or cave cellar should be located in a well drained sit uation, and if the fruit grower is fav ored with a hill side so much the bet ter. We have had success in making earth cellars, where stone and brick were unavailable. In the following way: Make an excavation much as you would for the foundation of a bouse. The depth should be not less than four feet. Place strong posts at the four corners and between these posts place others three feet apart, take rough hemlock boards a foot wide and one inch thick and paint them with two coats of lime, place these next to the earth. Fasten a 2x6 plate on top of the posts and cov er with a double roof of hemlock boards painted with two coats of lime. Cover the roof with earth, leaving a place for a wooden chimney at the center for ventilation. This chimney should be so constructed that the opening made by it can be closed from within. The entrance to the cellar should be at the north. A double boarded door should be placed at the direct entrance to the cellar, and a sloping trap door at the top of the steps. We have used such a cellar in northern Iowa for ten years with out having to repair it Aside from furnishing an excellent place for storing apples. It affords an ideal place in which to store vege tables of all kinds. If the cellar is large enough, it can be partitioned off for different crops. Fruits and vege tables keep best when the tempera ture of the compartment in which they are stored is kept as near the freezing point as possible. By venti lating the cellar and using a thermom eter it will be possible to obtain al most a stable temperature in the cave cellar. The venerable Daniel Webster was wise, of course, but he would be seized with frigid vibrations were he to drop into Colorado now and see our grand industries, like the beet sugar mills, humming along. Webster made the mistake of his life when he said: "I oppose the expenditure of a single penny by the government in the at tempt to develop that great American desert beyond the Mississippi." NO LONG VACATIONS. "You dont have to work more than five or six months on a fruit farm," was a remark made to us recently by a gentleman, evidently not experi enced in fruit growing. The fruit grower should have recreation in some way as well as workers in other lines, but there is very little oppor tunity for long vacations. As soon as the busy harvesting season is over the work of preparing for the next season should commence. There is always some profitable thing to be done ont of doors when the weather permits and when it does not there Is time to do the more of the most im portant part of the year's work which is thinking and planning. The fruit grower who does not keep a diary or memorandum book or record of some kind in which to jot down things to be thought of at a future time is not making the most of his opportuni ties, and will not be prepared witb plans when the time comes for action. Originally all the ostrich plumes in use were obtained by killing the wild birds. Thirty-fire years ago it was found that these birds could be do mesticated with the result that in South Africa to-day there are 4,000, 000 tame ostriches, producing plumes of a yearly value of 16,000.000. Within a few years the raising of these birds has been undertaken in California and Arizona with much success. THE BARNYARD FENCE. The best fence to put around the barnyard is one that Is high, tight and strong enough to turn all animals. More or less stock will come up against this fence every day in the year, so that it must be built much stronger than field fences. There is nothing better than boards placed one against the other to a height- of 5 or 6 feet Tnese will turn the wind and make the yard much warmer through the winter. Posts should be set 3 cr 4 feet deep and 5 feet apart Barber wire is very objectionable, as horses are likely to get their feet in it and be seriously injured, while cows and other cattle are often badly cut It is suitable only for hogs. Woven wire is not strong enough for a barnyard fence and does not turn the wind. There is just one thing that never suited me about putting on style. Tbe man who cannot afford it is out of place and shows bad taste by putting on style. When he can afford it he has no desire to do so. HORSES WITH WORMS. "Worms are common among horses, particularly those that are put to hard work, and while not particularly dan gerous, prevent the animal from keep ing in good condition. Any good worm remedy will remove the trouble and the horse should then be given a tonic, consisting of two tablespooafuls, night and morning, of a mixture com posed of four ounces each of powdered sulphate of iron and ginger, three ounces of powdered gentian, five ounces of powdered nitre and two ounces of powdered anise seed well stirred Into two pounds of ground lax sewtL .

Probably the most valuable bulletin ever issued by the Iowa experiment station is that on drainage. After several seasons of water-logged fields, its appearance is timely. The new drainage law has just gone into effect and the bulletin furnishes much im portant Information which the land owners who contemplate an effort to establish ditches under the new haw will appreciate. The excessive rainfall of the last two years has helped to emphasize this subject, for it has made much land unproductive which, in ordinary times, is productive and has sharply called the attention of the owners of this class of land to the subject of scientific drainage. Information which is conveyed to the public by the bulletin Is compiled from valuable data secured by the soils department of the division of agriculture, supplemented by exhaust ive notes and tables on drainage en gineering, prepared by the civil engi neering department of the division of engineering. Prof. Curtiss says of the bulletin: "This publication is of special value to the farmer and the drainage engi neer, and is an instructive handbook for students and others interested in this important line of investigation." Iowa has vast areas susceptible of drainage and present land values will not permit the owners of these tracts to let them be unremunerative. "Drudgery is simply work in which the body is solely engaged. (Set the mind onto any subject, become thor oughly interested in it, interested suf ficiently to study how to do it in the easiest possible way, and it ceases to be drudgery. Any kind of work that we do not like is drudgery; any kind of work which docs not employ the intellect and for which there is not a good motive is drudgery. We can transform drudgery into pleasant, healthful toil by becoming interested in it and doing It. not as time service, but as a duty to be performed con scientiously. Drudgery kills men. Honest work performed with brains and skill actually lengthens life. Whether work is drudgery or whether it is a pleasure depends altogether on the spirit with which we perform it" HOW TO PACK AND MAF PLES. .ET AP- At the recent Illinois State Horti cultural convention, C. H. Williamson said in part: The arts of packing and marketing apples are quite differ ent in their scope, but yet are so re lated that it i6 quite within bounds to say that to pack well is half the art of marketing. Yet to pack well is not difficult if one has fruit that is fitt to pack. These are a few principal rules to be observed: Do not face your barrel with stuff entirely out of character with that which is to follow. Don't make the face of your barrel a lie. which you do when you put two layers of fine apples on the face of the barrel and then fill the rest of the space with trash. Do not use barrels of different sizes, but be sure that the barrel contains room for three bushels. The apples should be alike in size and color, as much as possible. After each basketful is put in shake the barrel well, so the ap ples will settle, and when they are all In shake the barrel so well that little pressure will be needed when the head is put on. Not every farmer is so situated that be can conveniently keep bees, but a good many who do not might just as well have a few hives. Their work as pollenizers is well known to fmit men and gardeners, many of whom have a few hives just for this pur pose, and the honey is a very accepta ble form of sweet, more wholesome to most people than sugar or syrups. Bees require some care, though not a large amount An essential also worth remembering in other things than bee keeping, is to keep one's temper. They know when they are misused. If a man slaps at them a few times when around the hive, he is sure to be made sick of the bee business before long. Bees, like Pek in ducks, are so easily, excited that they need no stirring up or loud talk. NOT THE SAME. "Coin shoppln'. pears to me. Isn't what it usod to be. Used to drive up to the store. Leave the team out by the door. Trade our truck for calico. Tea and sech; and off we'd go. Nowadays ye're at a loss To pick out tbe real boss. They don't stop to tell you Jokes. Never saw seen dressed-uD folks. An' the goods that they display Fairly takes vour breath awav. Everything's trimmed up so grand Looks to me like fairyland." Prof. L. H. Bailey of Cornell uni versity is one of the highest authori ties on horticulture. He says: "My conclusion is, after having had the question in mind for a decade, that a heavy application of lead paint is the best all-around dressing for common pruning wounds; and this, I believe, is the commonest opinion with careful orchardists." Now don't make fun of the sugges tion that many a farmer could well afford to buy a typewriter. Service able machines can now be obtained at a reasonable figure. Most farmers are poor writers, a natural result cf weir occupation ana lack or practice. an. ouu unpen wmui ure lu oneu to dexterously handle a pen can still soon learn to handle the keys of the typewriter, and even though the farm er himself did not care to learn bow to operate the machine, there is al most always some bright boy or girl in the home who soon would. As be tween a typewriter and an organ for the family get the typewriter. Cropping the orchard generally does not pay and is poor policy besides. The trees need all, the strength there is in the soil, and in plowing an or chard It is very difficult to get the surface of the ground in proper shape. One of the very best calves we ever saw never even had an Introduction to its mother and always .bawled as soon as it heard the hum of the farm sepa DRAINAGE IN THE ORCHARD IN AUTUMN. An Ohio correspondent says there is much work to be done in the or chard during the autumn months. The fruit must be gathered and mar keted or stored, then preparation must be made for winter. After the fruit has been picked, the rubbish scat tered about should be raked up and burned. A flock of poultry will great ly assist in this work by destroying eggs and borers in unsound fruit, which 'would otherwise escape. In this latitude (southern Ohio) fruit trees, though hardy, are greatly bene fited by a mulch of leaves or straw which, if applied thickly, protects se curely from frost. The mulch must not come in contact with the body of the tree, as It would afford shelter for mice. The drainage of orchards, particu larly those in clay soil, should be per fect; otherwise the ground will re main soggy, thus increasing the dan ger from coIJ. . When proper care can be given, fall planting of both fruit trees and small fruits is to be preferred. Currants, raspberries, strawberries and black berries set in the fall and covered wun coarse stable manure become fully set by spring and make an extra large yield of fine fruit. Strawberries may be set at any time before freez ing weather and covered with hay, which should not be removed until late spring. The plants formed next the old plants are best. Autumn pruning strengthens growth and invigorates old trees, if properly done. Cut back decaying branches, thin out the others and the fruit will be much larger and of fine flavor. This is particularly true of peach trees. Raspberries and blackberries which make a late growth get winter-killed badly. All cultivation of the ground should cease early in the fall, that wood may ripen. And this is true also ot all fruits and trees and shrubs of all kinds. To make the most out of dairying an important thing is to keep only good cows. To know beyond a rea sonable doubt that each cow kept is a profitable one, a careful test should be made of each cow separately in order to ascertain as to the quantity and quality of the milk she produces and if the amount is not sufficient to show a good profit discard her as soon as possible. One or two cows in a herd will make a considerable dif ference in the yield or profit, and the only safe rule is to have each cow a profitable one. HENS IN THE ORCHARD. There are many men who have not quite enough land to make anything above a bare living by raising fruit The same trouble comes to the sur face when contemplating a poultry farm. In such a case as this the proper thing to do is to combine the two industries. An orchard is an ideal field for poultry and a poultry yard will make an excellent orchard. The dropped fruit will make wholesome food for fowls, and the insects de stroyed by the fowls will almost in sure the fruit against damage by in sect pests. If a fruit grower should ask us how to save his fruit from in sects, we would advise him to turn a good-sized flock of fowls into the or chard, and if a poultry raiser should ask how to cheaply feed a large flock, we would say plant fruit trees every where in the poultry range. Fruit 'and fowls form a double-header which, will enable a man to live and learn on a piece of ground too small to make a living any other way. The town possesses no "advantages" over the country. It is an undesirable place in which to raise a family it is false and artificial from start to finish. Hold to the farm, for in It is a living and a competence a certainty which cannot be had by any other equal In vestment. SHEEP ON WINTER RANGE. The location of the winter range is naturally chosen for Its proximity to the ranch house or to sheds or hay stacks. Where deep snows may be expected, the sheep must be kept near covered corrals and a supply of hay provided to prevent loss from starva tion by being caught in heavy storms. A large section of range country is very favorably located with regard tc the amount of snowfall. Even where the temperature falls quite low, there is ordinarily little snow. Although sheep are able to maintain themselves without much extra feed, yet there is always a danger of heavy loss from big storms. Some way should be pro vided for a short period of feeding in case of a fall of heavy, wet snow that subsequently becomes frozen. A backyard is sometimes uninviting, but it is generally supposed that no one sees It but the family. Let the family take pride in seeing that it is well kept and contains both grass and flowers. Jt is no place for a bobsled, old hoops and rubbish. GROWING PINEAPPLES. H. C. Vincent, Ohio. If the leafy end is cut off of a pineapple, and it is kept warm, it will continue to grow and send up flower-stalks and produce new pineapples. The same holds true :a regard to the snrouts that form aiuuuu me aiucb oi many pineapples. but in order to accomplish this suc cessfully the plants- must be kept very warm, and much warmer than a dwell ing or greenhouse is generally kept Unless kept at a high temperature they may grow for years without pro ducing any flowers. The only part of this country where the pineapple is grown successfully is In extreme southern Florida. The plant will fruit in an ordinary six-Inch flower pot, but when grown in a favorable climate they will require more room, as they will be much larger in size. They need a rich soil, and must be given plenty of water in their growing sea son. , . .Killing .weeds. Is not .the only busi ness of the corn cultivator. '.
