ORCHARD am GAR F.E.TRIGG REGISTER. R0CKFORD.1AJ COMCSPONOCNCC 3OL1CITE0 iThla matter muat uot be reprtntad without special permission.! OVERPRODUCTION OF APPLES. The point baa beeu raised by many who have visited sections of the west where large arnu are being planted to apple trees under conditions which make possible tbe production of a maximum quantity of fruit of tbe bight's t quality whether so many trees are being set as to result in a serious overproduction and a reduction of present prices to tbV point wbere there wilt be little or nothing left for tbe grower after necessary expenses and freight charges have been met. Tbe question is one which may and should be taken into account, but does not seem to furnish cause for alarm for a good many years to come. Among some reasons for this attitude may be mentioned tbe fact that many orchards iu New England. Michigan. Missouri. Arkansas iind lesser apple states are past tbeir prime either through advanced age, insect and fungous pests or tack of tillage of tbe soil and are today producing less fruit than in years gone by and will produce less in tbe future than now. Coupled with this decline of old orchards is a quite limited planting of new trees in the sections mentioned. This means that much of the western planting will be required to take the place of orchards that are now doing business in other sections. Another factor to be taken into consideration is that the highest grade fruit wherever produced never comes into competition with that which is undersized, undercolored. scabby and wormy. It Is likely, too. that should there be an enormous increase in tbe production of high quality apples tbe well organized fruit growers' associations will take pains to see before that time comes that a market is developed at home or abroad whore the surplus can be disposed of at good prices. In fact, this is already being done, a demand having been created for American apples iu a number of European and Asiatic countries. A last factor that may be taken Into account is that even under the most favorable conditions of climate and soil there will always be many who through lack of knowing hew or of forethought and industry w!! not be able to maintain their orchards or ranches on a profitable basis. Another commendable safeguard will be to set only the best varieties of apples, so that in seasons of heavy crops the fruit produced may be disposed of at remunerative prices. THE ftCHOOLHOUSE WELL. A reader who lives in a township in which thCe are no wells on any of the eight or nine school grounds in tbe area dills attention to tbe fact that there oug'Jt to be wells, made frog and mouse tight, so that tbe boys and girls would have a convenient and pure water supply and would not have to bother neigbbrs in the vicinity going after water and often leaving gates unfas- j tened anc windmill out of gear. He makes the further suggestion that it would be advantageous all around If the school house well were located just outside tb" fence beside the road, so that it con Id le used not ouly by the school population, but also by travelers along the highway, who. if a small trough were provided, would Cnd it very convenient for the watering of their horses or in furnishing a drink for themselves. A distinct advantage of this over the usual location would be that with the increased use of the wafer it would keep fresher and purer and be much less liable to become fouled through disuse during vacation time. AN OREGON MOSSBACK. One old uiossback- who lives In an Oregon fruit valley, whose case was reported to us not long since, sold out a short titfje ago and moved out of the state because the fruit inspector Insisted that he spray his fruit trees. Tbe old codger said he'd be banged if he'd stay in a state wbere he couldn't enjoy personal liberty and do as he pleased, it is tbe discouraging of the tyH' of borficulture that men of this character wmld follow if left to themselves that ts largely responsible for the splendid reputation a number of western states are making as producers of gilt edged fruit. If other central and eastern states would go after this proposition in tbe same hammer and tongs fashion a long step would be taken toward putting horticulture an a rational basis. CHINA WAKING UP. Prospects are certainly brightening in China, as shown in the recent decision of the jrovernment to establish agricultural scbcols in Manchuria, where young men of agricultural tastes: may acquaint themselves with better methods of larming. The crops to be grown will be much the same as those produced in tbe northern art of tht United States. Naturally the Chinese government is looking to this country for instructors and has set aside $150,000 for the support of the new school. Spraying the (. s. r infected animals with crude petroleum has been found to be au effective means of rid ding them of ticks. If the colts are baiter broken by weaning time and used to bridle and harness by ifte time tbey are yearlings, the task of finishing tbem up as tractable, well brokeu borses will be a simple one.

A good many folks will burn kerosene lamps all nigbt. with the doors and windows closed, and then wonder why tbey feel thick headed and dull in the morning or are afflicted with nervousness and indigestion, when the thing is a plain case of cause and effect. Unadulterated milk should contain about S7 per cent of water and 13 per cent of solids. It also contains bacteria which hasten tbe souring and ripening processes. The number of harmful bacteria which it may contain depends largely upon the degree of cleanliness observed in handling it. Danish dairymen seek to bead off an infection of their calves by tuberculosis by removiug them from their dams at once if the latter are found to be tuberculous. This malady is one that is not inherited at birth, but contracted by drinking germ laden milk. Thus removal and giving the calves pure milk insure their healthy development. It is estimated that 300.000 people In all registered for the land drawings held iu Spokane, Billings and Coeur d'Alene. If each person ou the average spent $J0 in car fare and hotel bills to make the trip to one of the three places tbe process of registering alone cost in tbe aggregate $6,000,000. This is a good round sun. and would have bought 00,000 acres of land at $100 per acre. It has been fmwd as a result of experiments In sections where peat soils prevail that the application of a good supply of barnyard manure will do much to make them workable and will set bacterial life to working, which will make their fertilizer content available for plant life, in this respect natural fertilizers seem to be much more effective than commercial fertilizers, which are of an inorganic nature. Cold storage experiments which have beeu conducted by tbe pomological division of the department of agriculture seems to show quite conclusively that apples will keep most perfectly in storage which are picked when full ripe and a minimum of tbe starch content is turned to sugar. The keeping quality of the fruit is further Increased by tbe carefulest possible handling in picking and packing aud placing in storage as soon as may be after picking. It was found that underripe fruit tended to shrink in storage and lost much of its sweetness and flavor. Trials which have been made with "hogging down" com by experiment stations and individual feeders seem to demonstrate (juite clearly that a corn crop fed in this way is bandied with the least possible expense, while tbe hog make more rapid gain in weight than under any other system of feeding. This Is a somewhat rare instance of where that which seems to be the easiest way ot doing a thing is also the most to be commended from the standpoint of dollars and cents. To make the plan most effective the field should be fenced off in small areas and tbe hogs made to eat one section up clean before being turned into another. One of tbe first things that strike the attention of tbe eastern tourist in California is the extensive use of crude petroleum as a substitute for coal. Steam engines have an oil tank instead of a coal tender, the oil being drawn from elevated tanks in tbe same way that water is for tbe supply of steam. Manufacturing plants not operated by electricity use the crude oil almost exclusively, as do ocean and river steamboats as far north as Seattle. Tbe crude oil is also used extensively It sprinkling railroad tracks, suburb n streets and country roads, and wheT tbe road is once "miide" but a single application of oil is needed in eight r ten months to keep it in excellem shape. The discovery of oil In Cal't fomia has been a boon to her transpor tation and manufacturing interest that it would be difficult to estimate, as it is cheap, economical and easilv bandied. Tbe Turkish red variety of winter wheat is being sown this tail by man; a farmer in tbe small grain belt who has not raised a bucbel of wheat on hU place for a score of years or more. Among tbe advantages of snbstituting winter wheat for osits in a crop rotation may lie mentioned tbe fact that where conditions are at all favorable it will give a larger net return iwr acre than oats, while it matures tw.. weeks earlier than early oats, enabling one to turn nnder the ft n bole early and thus keeping myriads of weed' from matnring a crop of xeed.

rent pi" -era lug crop, as lEere Is time to give tbe land several diskings before tbe alfalfa is sown. With conditions at all favorable there should be a yield of from twenty-five to thirtyfive bushels per acre, while tbe price should be not less than $1 per bushel. Tbe Cuban orange crop of 1906 was a record breaker, aggregating nearly 500.000 crates. The output of pineapples was 1,000.009 crates, and the bulk of it was shipped to New Tork city. Any person who dees the common work of life which falls to bis lot faithfully and well deserves credit as a benefactor of his fellow men Just as truly as do tbose who labor higher up. It is not so much tbe kind of work as the way in which it is done that makes it worth while. Goats have lately been used in tbe Lassen national forest in California for the purpose of denuding strips of land of vegetation to make tire lines. Not only do tbe goats eat vegetation of almost every description, but they have been known to tear bark loose from good sized trees and strip it up a dozen or more feet. Venezuela has 200.000 acres devoted to the raising of coffee. The number of plantations is 33.000 and tbe annual product about 60.000 tons. Argentina, the great wheat granary of South America, exported 8C.672.000 bushels of wheat from Jan. 1 to Aug. 1. This is about 32.000.000 more bushels than for tbe corresponding period last year. Light clothing and cool drafts of water are Just as refreshing for little babies in hot weather as for grown folks, and a lot of their frerfulness and crying during tbe heated season are very likely due to the fact that tbeir needs in these two particulars are not given tbe attention they deserve. Babies have feelings tbe same as old folks, but aren't endowed with capacity to kick up as much disturbance if tbeir wants are disregarded. A lot has been written and considerably done of late along the line of eradicating tuberculosis from dairy herds for tbe sake of these animals and tbe begs that may follow tbem. it is about time tbe babies In town and country homes who are compelled to subsist largely on milk from tubercular cows bad a word said in tbeir behalf. It may be that dollars don't talk so loud for tbem as for tbe animals in pen or feed lot. but common decency and humanity should. According to a bulletin recently issued by tbe department of agriculture, milk and tbe products derived therefrom constitute one-sixth of the total food of tbe average family. In North America this milk is produced almost exclusively by cows, iu the billy districts of Europe by the goat, by tbe buffalo in India, tbe llama in South America, tbe camel in desert countries and tbe mare in Russia and central Asia. Sheep's milk is used in some countries for making cheese and other purposes, wnlfe in" arctic regions the milk of reindeers is commonly used for food. A north Iowa fariaer. claims to be the only man in tbe west who Is raisins thoroughbred Arabian borses. Twenty years ago be brought three colts with him from his native land. Today bis herd numbers fifty-two. and ten of them bare been selected for ring purposes and will be exhibited at neighboring state fairs. These Arabians are very attractive In appearance, having silver manes and tails and glossy coars of a beautiful buff color. Tbe owner has on his farm, besides stables and quarters for bis men. a complete circus equipment for tbe train big of his horses. Owners of telephone, telegraph and power transmission companies in some sections of tbe country are reporting considerable damage to poles from tbe attacks ot tbe common red beaded woodpecker, which, with the gradual decrease in number of trees, hms come to look upon tbe poles as a legitimate place for tbe building of a nest. Tbe excavation for the nest, which is usually three inches in diameter and five or six inches deep, not only weakens the pole by so much, but tbe nest becomes a point where tbe rotting process seta in. Attempts which have been made to stop tbe work of tbe birds by tilling the nest with stones has made a bad matter worse, as tbey usually proceed to excavate another nest adjacent to tbe old one and thus enlarge tbe cavity. A soaking of the poles in creosote has proved quite effective, but this involves a larger expense than most companies are at present willing to stand. Town health officers should inquirr more carefully than is customary Inti tbe practice followed by many slaogb t?r bou?e . pr -rietors ot. hauling.. tor

carcasses . uiituui tuuu bave uietl of one disease r anotber to tbe bo--, pens and allowing the porkers whh h are to furnish tbe people of tbe community with toothsome pork chops and sausages to devour the diseased aud often germ laden flesh from the dead animals' bones. This nigbt be all right for FIJI islanders or Patagonia ns. but it is too much for the stomachs of supposedly civilized Americans, at least when tbey know of It. Federal authorities have cleaned up the big packing houses. It is about time tbe same thing were dose with the snail town slaughter bouses by state and local authorities. It doesn't make matters better If this practice Is followed only with bogs that are shipped to the big packing centers, as this is merely transference of tbe proposition from pork chops and sausage to bam and bacon, which tbe customer of tbe local abop eats a few months later.
