TELEPHONES ON FARMS.
They Are Not Merely a Convenience,
But a Good Business Invest
ment as Well.
In the locality where I live there
are several lines of telephones which
run through the farming districts to
the several villages. Many of tho
farmers along these lines have placed
'phones in their houses, which puts
them in direct communication with
the villages. 1 recently visited' a
farmer who lives three or four miles
from one of our large villages. In
this village he markets the produce
of his farm and of a large truck gar
den. It has been his custom to drive
to the village three times a week with
a load of produce. Xot knowing how
much he would be able to sell, he
would often take more than he could
dispose of, und this surplus, kept over
until the next trip, did not always
keep in a marketable condition, and
in this way considerable was wasted
during the year. This farmer has put
a telephone in his house which places
him in communication with his cus
tomers in the village. He now receives
'their orders by telephoue, and know
ing what they want, he delivers it to
•them on his regular days of market
ing. This makes marketing much
leasier and pleasanter, and he thinks
the telephone a profitable investment
for him. Sometimes he wholesales
produce to dealers when he can get
jsatisfaetory prices. When a dealer
■in his village wishes anything in his
line, he can easily order it. if prices
can be arranged, or when the farmer
M anything ready for market, he
"call up" the dealer and ask for
prices.
The telephone not only places him
in immediate communication with his
.own village, but with neighboring vil
lages, and, by telegraph or tha long
distance telephone, with the city mar
ikets. The farmer I have mentioneu
.grows several acres of strawberries.
JBy the aid of the telephone he is able
to learn without delay, which is im
portant to marketing berries, where
{there is a demand for them and at
(what prica.
There are many other uses of the
telephone for the farmer in his iso
lated circumstances, so that very often
he can make it convenient and profit
able. I have been in the railway sta
tion when some farmer "called up*'
I agent and asked him if the goods
ras expecting had arrived, and the
rmation would sometimes save a
to the station before the goods
; there; or he was asked to send
a message by telephone to some place,
with an immediate reply.
| The telephone, besides placing the
farmer in immediate communication
with his merchant, physician, veteri
narian and others whose services he
may need, affords communication be
tween farmers and their families. It
not only facilitates intercourse in
business matters, but adds very much
to the social life of the farmer. He
Herses easily at any time with his
hbor on any subject of interest
lem.
my farmers think that the cost
of the telephone is so great that they
cannot afford it. In my locality the
farmers own private lines on the co
operative plan. There are main lines
operated by individuals, or corpora
tions. The farmers have built private
lines which connect them with these.
Generally, a few individuals taking the
lead, the farmers are visited in the
icommunity where the wires are to be
put up, and asked to subscribe to
wards building the line. Some who
do not wish to pay money are allowed
to furnish work, posts, etc. The wire
is put up at a small cost to each
farmer, but in addition to it, he must
buy his telephone to put in his house
'This costs him from $15 to $20. Then
he must pay his share of the tax which
is charged for connecting the farm
'er's private line with the main lines,
which in most of the communities in
.this section is two or three dollars
annually for each farmer. In one
H—'-rhborhood near me I do not think
cost of putting up the wires and
—jing the telephones was more than
$30 for each farmer, ferhaps this
was only the cash outlay, and th€
■work contributed by the farmers was
'mot taken into account; I was not
dfeflnltely informed on this point.
Where there are such opportunities
; for building farmers' lines that can
be connected with main lines, surely
money or work expended in this way
will be well invested. —W. H. Jenkins, [
in Country Gentleman.
Growing Crops In Orchards.
; The disadvantage of having grass oi
growing crops in an orchard is not en
tirely due to the chance of the crops
robbing the soil of fertility needed by
the trees. If it was it would be easily
remedied by the manure applied to the
hoed crops, of which the trees would
get their share, or by turning sheep
into the orchard to eat the grass and
the fallen wormy fruit, who would en
rich the soil by their droppings. But
the greater trouble comes from the
summer and fall droughts when the
trees need all the moisture to perfect
their fruit. If the grass or other sur
face crop takes it there will be a large
amount of fruit fall which might have
been saved if there had been moisture
enough to carry it through to matur
ity. Where water can be supplied by
Irrigation this difficulty is not as great.

IN AN APRICOT ORCHARD.
Uoiv the Fruit Is tiu(hered, Dried aid
Prepared for Market Iv South
ern California.
As soon as an orchard of apricots
comes into bearing, advertisements are
inserted in the newspapers of adjoining
towns for women and girls. Thou
sands of women leave their domestic
duties, taking with them their fam
ilies to engage actively in the sheds of
the ranchers, cutting the fruit for dry
ing, after the men have collected It
from the trees.
Sometimes 500 people will be engaged
upou a large orchard. Rules and regu
lations art laid down for their conduct;
the women and girls sleep in the tents |
provided- at a low rental by the man
agement, and either cook for them
selves, or board with what would be
termed in railroad circles a "boaidiug,
boss;" the men, not so many, occupy I
tents in some other und distant part;
of the orehurd. The sole requisite be- \
ing the ability to pick und cut fruit,!
an aggregation of humanity represent
ing all classes of society, from the im
pecunious English family with cul."!
vuted manners und aristocratic connec
tion to the nondescript, who travels
from town to town in search of employ
ment, is collected together in industri
ous activity for the revenue to be de
rived.
\ Each woman has a small tray in front
jof her, and, after cutting the fruit with
a knife, she lays it open on the tray.
Each tray is furnishedi with a raised
'end. When five are filled they are piled
nip, and the operator shouts: "Tray!''
'whereupon an attendant approaches,
punches a ticket with which she has
been previously furnishedi and takes
j the five trays to the sulphur house.
■ The women are paid ten cents a box,
.each box containing 60 pounds of fruit
All fruit has to be placed in the sulphui
! house for several hours for the purpost
'of bleaching it or causing it to retain ,
its natural color, as well as to destroy j
.all insect life that may remain, other- i
wise the sun would cause it to turn ;
black. The trays are then carried out
.and placed upon the ground under the
steady rays of the glorious California :
sun. Should clouds be hanging over
the trays are placed one above the oth-1
,er until that great purifier and drier ot
' the universe, old Sol, makes his appear
iance.
The fruit from three to
'seven day 6 to. d.ry. At the end of tliis
r time men go out into the orchard with
What are called' "sweat boxes" and
'scrape from the trays all the fruit
into these boxes,, in which it is left un
til fully dried. Finally it is hauled to
the storehouses and 1 piled up in heaps
1 perhaps ten feet high, awaiting the eyt

Some Rtuoni for Spraying*.
A correspondent of the Farmers' Re
view recently wrote that he had no
faith in spraying; that if the birds
were protected there would be no need
of spraying. The attention of the cor
respondent should be called to the fact
that the prime reason for spraying i.
to prevent fungus attacks, such as
those producing the apple leaf scab.
Birds can have no effect in checking
troubles of that kind. Spraying with
Bordeaux mixture was first tried in
Bordeaux, France, to keep the boys
from stealing the grapes. The owner
of the vineyard found that it also saved
his grapes from mildew. Now, birds
have no effect on mildew. So it is evi
dent that the preservation of the Birds
does not remove the reasons for spray
ing.
Sprujiim •■ an Investment.
It is about as hard to convince some
orchardists that they should spray as
it is to convince others that they
should insure their houses against fire.
The two acts are in a way similar. Th«
expense may be looked upon in eithei
case as insurance. The man that
sprays his orchard may never see that
he has escaped disaster. He may nevei
appreciate the good he receives from
spraying. His enemies are so small
that he does not see them approadh
and perish with the poison that hat
been placed in their way. But whether
he sees the results or does not sec
them, they are there.—Farmers' Re
view.

MODERN ROAD LAWS.
■ late Legislatures In livery I'art of
raia Great Country Should lie
Asked to l'liu .Thesa.
Workers in the good roads movement
in this country are homing lor a mate
rial advancement of tlceir cause as a
result of the rapid introduction of
automobiles. The impulse toward bet
ter highways caused l»y the bicycle is
likely to be repeated, in intensified
form, now that a new device calling for
smooth surfaces has been perfected, es
pecially as the higher cost of the auto
matic vehicle is calculated to cause its
owner to demand proportionate con
sideration. The serviceability of the
automobile increases in' a ratio with
the smoothness of the way. The elec
tric vehicle, having a limited capacity,
is especially affected by rough roads,
which Increase the demand upon the
batteries for a given length of run.
The road-use of these contrivances is
rapidly becoming their chief feature
and hence the hope that influences too
strong to be ignored will be felt by
state legislatures to induce them to
pass modern road laws calculated to re
form the highways. The process of
teaching the rural voter by object les
sons that his best Interest lies with a I
better road, and consequently a more I
liberal system of construction and re
pair, does not produce the results re- I
quired. It Is slow work to drive the I
truth through the sloth and prejudice I
which have contributed to the evolu
tion of the worst system, of country I
roads in any civilized country. Too
frequently the farmer still holds to the
narrow tire and kills his horses and
loses his markets and wastes Ms profits
to haul his products through the mire
or over rough ways that rattle his wag
ons to pieces long before their time. It
has become apparent that tha farmer
most be helped despite himself, and
the good work already done by the de
partmentof agriculture and the League
American Wheelmen and by individual
bleycilsta must be furthered by the
"chauffeurs." The owners of automo
biles will soon find It to their interest
to take a hand In the propaganda and
with this help the good work may
progress to the point of extensive addi
tions to the decent, highways of the
country during the next few years.
What Is needed in every state is a stiff
law, putting a premium on smooth
roads and a tax on bad ones, establish
ing a system of rebates from the coun
ty taxes on all wagon tires three Inches
or more In width and providing the ma
chinery for the uniform enforcement
of such a statute. Even the most be
nighted community can appreciate the
logic of a road tax, and with intelligent,
honest supervision to see that the road
work Is properly done most of the
abominations now called by courtesy
roads should speedily give place to
hard, smooth, well-kept highways.

KING A FISH POND.
The Best Way of Itlllilnn the Snr
plu. Water on Farina Ilavlns
Artesian Wells.
Many farmers who have an artesian
well or a small stream could, without
great expense, make a small pond for
cutting lee. If stocked with fish it
would In a few years add some to the
income of the farm, besides being a
source of great pleasure and profit to
• "
AN ARTESIAN WELL,
tha table. The illustration shows an
artesian well belonging to W. R. Green
wood, of Rush county, Ind. This well
is 129 feet deep and flows 35 gallons
per minute. The overflow has been
taken care of so as to make a fish pond
three rods wide, nine rods long und five
feet deep. The soil Is a yellow clay
above gravel and Mr. Greenwood has
experienced the same trouble of many
others in making the pond hold water.
We would suggest that the water be
drawn out and that a foot of clay be
put in the bottom and well puddled
and pounded down before filling the
nond again. Aa to the kind of fish best
adapted to certain water, the United
States flah commission at Washington
will send anyone a blank form to be
filled out with the conditions which
prevail and will then advise as to the
best varietlei of fish for stocking.—

Bow to Kill Black Ant*.
Black ante are at times very injuri
ous to apple and other fruit trees by
eating off the bark neur the surface
of the ground. If their nest is ne-ar
by, the best way to destroy them will
be by getting a little bisulphide of
carbon and putting perhaps a tea
spoonful of it into their hole and cov
ering the hole with a piece of cloth.
The vapor from his material is heavy,
deadly, and sinks rapidly into the nest.
If it is impracticable to get bisulphide
of carbon, and the nest is not too near
the tree, a good way to destroy them
ia to pour perhaps a quart of gasoline
Into the hole, and after it is well
soaked in set It on fire. Another rem
edy which ha* sometimes been used to
Jf ood advantage is to mix arsenic with
•afar and scatter i> about the hole.
It has been decided to blow up the
wreck of tbe Merrimac, sunk in Santi
ago harbor by Hobsou, and thus re
move an obstruction to navigation
The wreck of the Alfonso 11, once a
Spanish cruiser, and also in this Santi
ago harbor, will be blown up by the
same authoritees.
