SETTING FRUIT TREES.
Since trees lu crooked rows are un
sightly and make trouble lu plowing
and cultivation of any crop put In
rows It Is Just as well to set them
straight While there Is more than
one way of doing this, there Is no bet
ter method than the running of three
rows of sighting stakes both ways
across the area to be set. Of course
If the tract Is very large or the sur
face quite rolling more rows of stakes
should be set. It Is well to begin at
one side, niensnrlag off the distances
for the stakes and at the same time
sighting them, so that they will set
true and straight A row should then
be run In the same way on one of the
other sides at right angles to the one
already set Two rows should then be
set near the middle of the tract pnral
lel to the rows already set, and, lastly,
two other rows should be run through
on the two edges of the Held not al
ready staked. These last rows may
be quickly set by sighting those al
ready In. From this point on no meas
uring stick Is uoeded, It being possible
to quickly determine the location of
all the rest of the trees to be art by
sighting from the rows of stakes al
ready placed. While the work of
planting Is expedited If two work to
gether, one person can sight both ways
alone aud do very good work. Anoth
er aid In setting the trees true Is a
board about four Inches wide and four
feet lory:. In the middle of both ends
of which notches have been cut about
an Inch square and a third cut In one
edge at the middle and extending half
an Inch beyond the exact center of the
board, so as to make an opening about
an Inch square at the center. A long
straight stake should be used for the
center the one which will mark the
location of the tree while two pegs
considerably shorter should be used
for the ends.
When the tree stake has been prop
erly set the board described should be
slip)ed on to It so that the stake will
be at the middle. The end pegs should
then be put In the notches referred to,
when the middle stake may be pulled
and the board removed while the dig
ging of the hole Is In progress. When
the hole is ready the frame should be
adjusted over the end pegs and the
tree held In place in the notch at the
center of the board, where the long
peg was. This equipment will work
best If the three pegs used are rounded
somewhat and are made a trifle less
than an Inch In diameter, so that tbey
will not stick In the notches of the
board. If this method is followed care
fully straight trees can be set so true
that a rifle ball shot from the end row
would strike more than half of the
trees.
A CORN BREEDING PLOT.
It would be well If every farmer who
Is seriously engaged in the growing of
corn bad a few acres of the best soil
on the place as a corn breeding plot
On such a plot could be raised the
seed needed for the general crop, while
valuable tests in determining the pro
ductivity of various types of corn
could be carried on and would not
only give a new Interest to the farm
operations, but would have a direct
bearing on the financial consideration.
The field set apart for this purpose
should be by Itself and separated from
the main field of corn by twenty or
thirty rods, which would reduce to a
minimum a pollination of the breeding
plot from the main field. If It Is de
sirable to produce seed of especial
vigor by cross, rather than self fertil
ization of the stalks In the breeding
plot this may be done by detassellug
alternate rows aud selecting the seed
for the ensuing year from those stalks
from which the blossoms (stamens)
have been removed. Another Instruc
tive experiment Is planting a given
number of hills with kernels from
several desirable types of ears, the
seed from each ear being iu a row by
Itself. When the corn from such ear
rows Is measured at harvest time a
good Idea Is obtainable of the vigor
and productivity and this means real
value of given types as well as va
rieties of corn.
A NEW POTATO DISEASE.
As if It were not enough for the
"murphy" raiser to contend with scab
and bugs and blight and commission
men, a new disease, the potato wart,
a fungous disease which causes un
sightly warts and In severe attacks
completely destroys the crop, baa late
ly attracted much Interest. It was
discovered In Hungary a number of
years ago. Is prevalent In many sec
tions of England, baa been carried to
Newfoundland, and the chances are
that It will spread to Ireland and this
country unless the greatest precau
tions are taken. Once the fungus
g ts Into the sol) It Is Impossible to
grow crop of potatoes for several
years It Is Introduced from section
to sec tion by using affected seed, and
It Is in this respect that great caution
should be exercised.
MARK TWAIN'S WIT.
Hew the Famous Author Got Even
With a Neighbor.
While It had been known for tome
time that Samuel U Clemens, better
known as Mark Twain, was lu poor
health, hjs return from Bermuda re
cently In am h a serious condition came
as a great shock to the country, almost
everybody having read and enjoyed
his works. Ills books have made the
whole world laugh.
Probably no other author baa been
the subject of so man anecdotes as
Twain, many of them brlnglug out
that great wit and humor for which
he became famous. Some years ago
the humorist asked a uelghbor If he
might read a set of his books. The
neighbor replied ungraciously that be
was welcome to read them In bis li
brary, but be had a rule never to let
SAMUEL L. CLEsll.NS.
a book leave the house. Some weeks
later the same neighbor sent over to
ask for the loan of his lawn mower.
"I should be very glad to lend you
my lawn mower," said Mark Twain,
"but since I make It a rule never to
let it leave my lawn you will be
obliged to use It there."
In his lecturing days Mark Twain
reached a small eastern town one aft
ernoon and went to a barber' to be
shaved.
"You are a stranger In town, sir?"
"Yes; I'm a stranger here." was the
reply.
"We're having a good lecture here
tonight, sir," said the barber "a Mark
Twulu lecture. Are you going to it?"
"Yes; I think I will." said Mr. Clem
ens. "Then, sir, you'll have to stand."
"Dear me." Mr. Clemens exclaimed,
"it seems as If I always do have to
stand when I hear that man Twain
lecture!"
One day Twa'n was talking about
the famous robbery In bis beautiful
country bouse.
"Had I leen living In Hartford," he
said whimsically, "some of my Hart
ford friends would certainly have ac
cused me of robbing myself. They had
a poor opinion of me In that town.
"Marshall Jewett, the ex-governor,
UFed to take up the collect lou In our
Hartford church. They never asked
me to take it up. I fretted a good deal
over this matter.
" 'See here, Jewett,' 1 said one day,
they let you take up the collection
every Sunday, but they would never
let me do It.'
" 'Oh, yes, they would,' said Jewett
"that Is, with a bell punch such as the
horse car conductors use.' "
