DWARF FRUIT TREES.
In the orchards ot tho present day
!n America, a good, genuine dwarf
pear or applo la a curiosity, and there
are hundreds ot wide awake fanner
ar.d fruit men who never saw one in
their lives, says tho Country Gentle
man. Tho reason for tho neglect of tho
dwarfs is not far to seek. They to
long distinctively to the European sys
tem of horticulture and nro quite out
ride tho American system. In other
words, they belong to the fruit gar
den and not In tho orchard. In this
country wo are concerned with fruit
only on tho largo scale. Yet, with the
present significant Increase of Inter
est In suburban affairs, with the pres
ent rapid extension of the garden cult
among those who work in town, and
who live at least In the edges of the
ity, thtro is bound to bo a revival of
interest 'in this really practicable and
useful business of dwarfing trees.
At the present tho pear is the only
fruit grown to any extent In tho dwarf
form. A few growers have orchards
of dwarf pear trees reaching commer
cial proportions. These are most nu
merous iu southern Michigan. An
other and more considerable number
of pear growers have been planting
new orchards of -standard trees with
Nlwarf pears as "fillers." That Is they
mso rows of dwarf pear trees between
i ho 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 wo have never heard of a sin
gle instance in which they havo been
planted lor commercial purposes.
Other trees, such as plums, peaches,
apricots and cherries are almost total
ly unknown as dwarf.
The dwarf fruit Is secured by a com
bination of two processes propaga
tion and priming. The tree Is first pro
pagated upon some slow growing root,
which tends to dwarf it that is. to
"stunt it" and then it Is pruned back
severely, and not allowed to fill a
great space. This second part tho
pruning is quite essential with many
trees, and some inexperienced garden
ers have earned serious disappoint
ment through Its neglect.
The first problem, then, is the selec
tion of tho dwarfing stock. In the
case of tho pear this Is nearly always
the quince. The quince root grows
much slower than the pear root, and
when a pear scion Is put on a quince
stock it is simply starved or stunted
Into tho dwarf form. In a similar way
the Paradise apple, which was origi
nally a dwarf wild apple of Europe, is
used as a dwarfing stock for apples.
Tho plum is usually said to be
dwarfed by working It on Myrobolan
stock, but a3 a matter of fact, nearly
all plums in this part of tho country
are now worked on that stock, yet
(hey are grown as standards.- In this
case it is a matter of pruning. Such
stocks as the sand cherry are much
more effective In dwarfing the plum,
and It is possible that they will come
into use for that purpose. The cher
ry is said to bo dwarfed on Mahaleb
stock, but this statement stands just
where stands the one about plums on
Myrobolan stock. A dwarf cherry tree
may be made by budding on Mahaleb
roots, and then by giving severe prun
ing, but. tho pruning Is the greater
part of tho business. The peach may
worked on any species of plum,
anfl the plum stock has a tendency to
dwarf tho scion. The same thing ran
be. done with the apricot. Any ot
these can be made into dwarfs'by cut
ting tack.
Most persons ecem to Jump at the
conclusion that when the tree Is
btitnted the fruit Is unfavorably af
fected. If the tree Is made smaller,
They think the fruit would naturally
hi smaller, too. In fact the reverse Is
true. Tho fruit Is usually made
larger. Perhaps It would be Impos
sible to explain why this Is tho case,
and at any rate there Is not space
hero to guess why; but -such is tho
general truth.
They are highly useful for small
yards on town or suburban lots, whero
space is crowded, and whero It Is
specially desirable that trees come
into bearing at once. When a man
-rents the premises he lives on, and
moves every two or three years, a a
largo part of our population unhap
pily does, ho cannot wait ten yeara for
a big tree of Northern Spy or Twenty
Ounce to get down to business. A
dwarf tree Is a curious, Interesting and
entertaining object, anyway, and every
well regulated family ought to havo
three or forr merely as playthings.
Dwarf apples may be planted as close
ly p.3 six feet apart, but pears and
most otrr dwarf trees require at
.least ten fccL
Pcl beans and other garden
vtuff -wiit ripe. If allowed to remain
c.n the Hi'ound there vcr.1 be unneces
sary Va-vto, and waste iuvUci want.

A DIFFERENCE.
There Is a dlfferenco between the
farmer who is a farmer by chanco 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; whilo
the latter Is a man who despises
debts, and whose original capital,
maybe, consisted of only a wondrous
storo of energy and cool judgment
he greatest factors in the matter of
fortune-building on or off the farm.
No matter what Industry engages
the attention of u man, he must, by
tho nature of things, be interested in
his work to be successful. To be in
terested means lo have some choice
at leadt in the avocation he pursued.
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, ho sees
a vision of waving grain and grass.
When he looks upon the rich and gol
den harvest, like a true husbandmau.
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 tho slow
and sleeping mortal who farms by
chance Is awakened to realize his op
portunities. In June at the close of
the 1102-03 term of the Northwestern
University, there were graduated six
teen young men who have made farm
ing their choice a greater number
than declared for any other pursuit.
Advancement is continually being
made in tho farming industry, and It
will progress still further so long as
there is an Increase In tho farmers
who farm by choice.

FARM IMPROVEMENTS.
I have a few thoughts in mind
about farm improvements which I am
going to write, as it may be of somo
benefit to others. In the first place
too many farmers practice too close
grazing cf the pasture lands. The
hot pun of summer bakes the surface
ot the ground, killing the grass roots;
this followed by the winds and frosts
of winter not only ruins the pasture,
but impoverishes the soil. Grass land
that is too closely pastured will re
tain the moisture it received, forcing
a more abundant growth. The prac
tice of pasturing meadows after har
vest, to any great extent, will be a
loss in the next season's crop of hay.
It should be the aim of every farmer
to have the soil in better condition
after a succession of crops than when
the ground is first broken. This may
be done by net selling off the hay
and grain, but feeding it on the farm;
thereby returning to the soil in the
shape cf manure the equivalent of
that produced. Whenever fences arc
required, and of whatever kind, they
should be well kept. Nothing gives
a farm a '"run-down" appearance
quicker than bad fences. It Is no sign
of improvement to see the fence cor
ners lined with briers and bushes and
the rails scattered about all taking
the room o! somo valuable crop.
Board fences sag over, with the, posts
a foot or more above the boards,
which, if put that much deeper in
the ground, might have. made a good
fence. The posts of a wire fence
should not be too far apart, and they
should be well braced with each wire
drawn tight.
Aftor all, there is more in the train
ing of a dog than iu the breed. Some
of the most useful and intelligent dogs
we have ever known havo been of
mongrel breeds, but from their puppy
hood were carefully trained for cer
tain lines of work. There is a point
here in the fact that the same rulo
applies to boys as well as degs.
FEEDING VALUE OF CLOVE-IN
THE DAIRY.
Few fully appreciate the feeding
value of this plant. It contains the
elements of growth and milk in tho
right proportion. When corn Is worth
forty cents a bushel tho protein that
is contained in a ton cf good clover
hay should be worth from $12 to $13.
When timothy hay Is worth six dol
lars, clover hay Is worth almost twice
as much. It contains one-half moro
rr.ilk-maklrg material than millet hay,
and Instead of exhausting the soil
like; timothy or millet. It builds it up
by taking nitrogen from the' atmos
phere and brings to tho surface soil
potash and phosphoric acid from tho
subsoil.
KEEP GOOD COWS.
It is Just as essential to keep good
cows a3 any other animal. No man
can afford to keep poor cows, and es
pecially the poor man. If a rich man
wants to waste his money in poor
cows It is not quite so bad, but a poor
man mu;t know better, or ho cannot
expect much profit. In ;rder to make
headway the poor man must keep ani
mals and use feed that will make tho
largest profit. You cannot afford to
keep a singly cow that does not mako
you a profit. Ue practical and busl-ness-liko
and apply he only sure test.
Keep a book in which to enter on ono
side all milk, cream and butter,
whether consumed by tho family or
sold. They are worth in your family
exactly what you would havo to pay
for them if you had no cows. On
tho other side enter the feed con
sumed, whether purchased or raised
on your farm. Tho hay or corn fed
is worth oa your farm tho market
price, less cost of delivering to mar
ket. This test, even if conducted for
a short 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 arc
wanted, keep the Ayreshire, but if a
large quantity of milk is wanted for
the manufacture of cheese, then tae
Holiteins must have firsfplace. Rut.
however, in cither case always select
tho bebt. Suppose you pay $30 for a
poor cow, and come out even at tho
end of the year. Suppose you pay $G0
for a first-class cow, and at tho end
of the year she can show you a profit
of $30. If you keep cows for profit
just figure this over carefully. It re
quires just as good business qualities
to be a successful dairyman as it
does to be successful in any other
business. If you don't think so you
had better quit the business.
We notice our lumber dealer has
stocked up extensively on catalpa
posts. He has a whole raft of them
In tho yard, and they are all good
oncii. Catalpa makes a post that is
r:o slouch. It almost comes up to tho
Osage crange in lasting qualities, and
it will hold staples much better. We
believe Catalpa wood will mako tbo
bulk of the fence posts of the prairie
states in years to come. Catalpas aro
certainly amazing trees to grow, espe
cially for a tree that grows such good
wood.
JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES.
If the farmers of the South knew
the great 1 coding value of this plant
in connection with swine raising It
would soon become one of the leading
crops on every farm where hog3 are
raised cither for home supply or mar
ket. They should bo planted as early
in the spring a;? potatoes, and In near
ly the same manner and varieties of
so'l. Plow deep, so that a good root
bed is provided. Cut the tubers as
you would potatoes, using your own
judgment It yon are an experienced
potato raiser. Plant a little thinner
than potatoes, as the planls grow tall
and ttfrcw out long branches. Culti
vate as you do your corn, laying by
when the stalks get too tall to work
over without breaking. They aro har
vested as potatoes, If the tubers arc
to be stored. If for hog food tho ani
mals may be turned into the field to
root out the tubers as needed.
It Is often remarked of city people
that every one of them wears signs
of being hurried, careworn, anxious
and that it shows itself in their very
walk and action. There is a restless,
worn look about tho eye, lines are In
the face, and tho hair is prematurely
gray. It is said that, as a people,
they are nervously active and dissatis
fied. This is getting to bo true, also,
of country people. Human nature Is
very much tho same tho world over.
The euro for it is to give up tho idea
of getting rich, and to bo content with
making a good, ordinary living.
FARM NOTES.
The best way to keep the boy on
the farm Is to let him own something.
Give him a couple of pigs. They may
bo tho means of making farm lifo
enjoyable to him.
For scratches on horsfs take sul
phur, saltpeter and ginger, equal parts
of tho three, and lard enough to make
a salve. Wash legs clean onco a day
with air slacked lime, and apply tho
salvo.
In almost every case of vlclousnoss
in a horse, tho horso has contracted
tho vice from man. In cases of In
herited vice, it is tho fault of the
man If It has not been cured. VIcIoms
associations corrupt horses as well as
man. ' 1
Hogs need a clean bed as much as
people do. Especially should dirty
sleeping places bo avoided. Hogs
suffer from inhaling dust as much as
men or raen or children do. Dis
ease fioaut on tho air and dust Is tho
vehicle ly which it reaches its destination.

Production of Rubber.
The general Impression prevails that
rubber is a product like wheat or corn
to be obtained from a given tree. The

contain rubber, though, commercial
quantities have been obtained from
only forty or fifty.

Temperature of Churning.
Many a farmer's wife Bpolls her
butter by churning at 'too high a
temperature. The result is that the
product of her churn is greasy and
poor in quality and keeps for but a
short time. Somo people also put hot
water Into the cream to make the but
ter come quicker. The result of this
riso in temperature Is to destroy the
grain and at the same time incorpo
rate with tho butter a great deal of
casein, which is tho part that goes
to mako the body of cheese. This but
ter is Increased in quantity also by
tho Incorporation of an unusual
amount of water. If tho butter Is
made when tho temperature of tho
cream is at, say, SO degrees, tho kind
of a butter will result that if it came
under tho eyes of United States dairy
Inspectors would be excluded from the
market and the sellers thereof fined
for selling butter with a water con
tent above the legal 16 per cent. The
woman that wants to mako good but
ter must do her churning when the
cream Is at a temperaturo of not
above C3 degrees. It would bo better
to churn at as low as fifty degrees,
but this Is rather hard for people
that havo to churn by hand. The peo
ple that try to work the so-called two
minute churns frequently havo to
raise the temperature of the cream
to about 80 degrees beforo getting the
results that havo been advertiecd.
That Is, tho time of churning Is reg
ulated to some exteut by tho tempera
ture. Every maker of butter should
havo a thermometer. One can be pur
chased for twenty cents, and, this be
ing the case, there is no reason why
every person should not have tho ad
vantage of knowing the temperature
of their cream at churning time.
Cream In the Pantry.
It Is common in our farm houses to
set the cream in the pantry or in the
cel!arway, whero all kinds of food
aro also kept. It is safe to say that
cream cannot be set in such places
and glvo good butter. Some people
may like butter that tastes of dough
nuts, pies, cookies, liraburgcr cheese,
onions, celery, cloves, cinnamon,
oranges, apples and tho like, but most
people like to have the aroma that
belongs to butter rather than to the
pantry. Probably the one greatest ob
stacle to getting good flavor in farm
mado butter is this one of the setting
of milk to riso in the pantry. It is
such a firmly settled custom- that it
will be with difficulty broken up, in
spite of tho fact that much 6uch but
ter has to bo sold to the poorest mar
ket and at not above U.n cents per
pound. Tho nose of tho housewife Is
so accustomed to tho smells of the
pantry that she never thinks of them
when 6he is putting her milk away to
undergo the process of cream raising.
Cream in tho pantry Ehould be abol
ished, and in Its place should como
cream in the cream room, a place set
aside for this operation and scaled
against tho entrance of all odors that
will give the butter a . disagreeable
taste. Tho woman that dees that Is
very likely to get a great reputation
as a maker of fire butter.
Wheat Bran For Milk Making.
Men frequently misjudge tho value
of feeds by their density. Thus there
is a strong opinion among farmers
that cornmeal Is better for milk mak
ing than bran. It is heavy and has a
beautiful color and the cow owner as
sociates it with rich cream. But tho
fact Is, bran 16, In the main, more val
uable for milk makiiig than is corn
meal, In spite of the attractive ap
pearance of cornmeal. Tho stomach
of tho cow is better suited to take
car of bran than of cornmeal, be
cause it is more bulky. The cow was
made for tho purpose of using up just
such waste products as bran would
be without farm animals to consume
It. And bran cannot be Judged by its
lightness. Tho question of using or
not using bran is ono that must bo
decided on Its price, compared with
the prices of other like feeds. At the
same price as corn it is far more
profitable to bo used for tho making
of milk. Its protein content Is high,
but not 6o high that tho digestive ap
paratus of the animals will be injured
by it. American farmers should not
permit a pound of bran to go across
tho waters, but should buy and feed
every pound of it, thus not only mak
ing the profit that may b made out of
It, but saving tho fertility for their
land; for tho fertilizing qualities of
bran are considerable.
The Hand Separator to Stay.
There has been war between the
men that believe In hand separators
for farm use and tho men that believe
that all milk should be hauled to the
creamery. The latter declare that as
good butter cannot be made from
gathered cream as from the cream
taken from fresh rallk brought in.
This may be so; but one thing should
not be lost sight of, and that is that
tho hand separator has como to stay,
and the argument of whether It Is a
food thing may as well bo dlicon
tinucd. Tho time will be better spent
if put upon tho questions that have
come with It Every situation has its
own problems and every new Inven
tion brings a lot of new problems. It
was only natural that tho hand sep
arator should have its new phases and
Its new questions. Somo of theeo aro
hard to settle. The hardest Is the
one relating to the freshness of tho
cream when delivered to the butter
maker. This problem will bo settled
as have all other Questions before IL
