Wholesome Advice of a Chicago Com mission Man to Fruit Growers of the Kiddle West. Benjamin Newhall, a Chicago fruit commission merchant, in a paper con tributed to the last session of . the Illinois state horticulturists, said: Quality pays; style pays still- bet ter; and both together best of all. You growers know this, but jrobably we dealers realize it even more fully. For instance, recently we received a car load of apple3 most of which sold at $3 per barrel, but in that car were some that sold at $1.50 per barrel Both were called No. 1, but the $9 ap ples were high in flavor and color, and perfect as to shape, put up in an attractive package and finely packed. The $1.50 apples were sound, but were dull and uninviting in color, of poor flavor and put up in a sloven!" look ing package and were poorly packed. "We sold Seckel pear3 at ?S and $2 per barrel this fall on the same day, and we got full price on both. It was quality and style that made the differ ence. Not once, but many times we have sold Jonathans, sound and fresh ly received the same day at $2 and $10 per barrel. In fact this very thing is one of the chief annoyances of our trade. Few shippers realize the value! of just a little of nature's tinting on the skin of an apple or how slight a difference i this line will mean a dif ference of from 50 cents to $1.00 ner barrel in the price. "You say you sold John Jones ap ples at $5 straight and for mine you got only $4, both packed by the same man on the same day, the orchards within a mile of each other. How is this?" What a hopeless task to reply to such a question! "My apples were just as good as his, just as large, just as smooth, just as carefully packed, with just as good cooperage." All this is true, my friend, but they were worth $1.00 per barrel less in our market just the same and are harder to sell at the difference. And why? It is ex cellence set off by style. That is why the fruit from sunny valleys of the far west outsells the best selec tions of the middle west. It may not have more intrinsic merit, but it has style. Quality pays. Choose your varieties wisely; take pains with your orchard treatment. Study the market needs; but above all cultivate style in fruit packing and package, and when to this style you add quality, you have a combination that will sell your fruit at prices that will often surprise you. LOW-HEADED TREES - BEST. A System of Trimming Which Is Be coming Popular on Account of Its Many Advantages, The Southern Agriculturist gives the following reasons for the trimming of fruit trees to develop a low head: It might be difficult to state just which is the raest Important. The great saving of expense and the great er ease and comfort In gathering the fruit is certainly an important one. Another is the greater convenience in spraying, pruning and thinning fruit. Again, if an" apple drops to the ground it is not ruined by the fall. Another great gain, and perhaps the greatest advantage of all when the life of the tree is considered, is the protection given to the roots from the hot sun in summer. Trees thus pro tected make a better growth, and seem more healthy, and I believe, will en dure much longer. There is one other advantage to be derived from this low training and shading. It is the effect on the growth of the branches. They being always shaded and so near the ground, it causes the under side of the branch to make a thicker group every year, there by causing a more upright growth. If one should cut off one of these branches and examine the cut he will find that the heart is much nearer to the upper side or above the center, and rings showing the annual growth will be much further apart at the under side, whereas, if a branch is cut from a tree with a high head and long trunk flower branch) it will be found that the heart is growing in a more horizon tal direction. Such branches, when laden with fruit, are much more lit' ly to bend down to the ground than those which start near the ground and grow more uprightly. One can there fore cultivate more conveniently among the low headed trees than he can among the higher and more spread ing heads. LAYING OUT AN ORCHARD. Arrangement Shown in Diagram Be Jow Has Proved to Be a Sat isfactory One, Land la too valuable here to use any unnecessary space with an orchard Instead of planting trees In squares 25 feet apart each way. I find that toe DIAGRAM OF ORCHARD. arrangement shown In the accompany ing illustration Is a very satisfactory one. first plant the trees at the nolnt marked by X. Then add the ones marked O. In this way a certain amount of ground will support almost ene-thlrd more trees and the trees will not be crowded. Care must be taken to get the row straight, for a alight variation will result in crowding. - CO-RESPONDENTS' CORNER. Philomath.

Not one complaining word was heard from anyone, all were well pleased and satisfied. The characters were all well pre sented and in the instances of Mr. and Mrs. Walters and Bessie Lieu ellyn -an extraordinary degree of talent was clearly shown. Especially was this true cf Jala Walters in the character of the tramp. Mr. Walters, who, off the. stage looks like a minister, originated this character, and to say the least he played it well. Should the show ever come to town again it can count on another full house. ' Tk Okctleat Houtaaii. "If anybody should call this after noon, "Mary, say that lam not well," said a mistress to her newly-engaged servant "I'm afraid. I ate. a little too much of that rich pudding for lunch," and it, or something else, has brought on a severe headache. I am going to lie down." A few moments later the mistress, from her room near the head of the stairs, heard Mary- say to two aristo cratic ladies who called for the first time: ; "Yes'm, Mrs. Browne is at home, but she ate so much pudding for lunch she had to go to bed." rTit-Bits.
