THE EIGHTH WONDER
E OFFER a new wonder to the
much worn list of world marvels.
It is an apple tree of California,
of course it would be in the Golden
West, that bears 526 distinct var
ieties of apples.
That is some 500 more sorts than
we knew existed.
The usual planting system gives
about fifty trees to the acre; so
this single tree bears as many sorts
of apples as could be grown on ten
and a half acres of commercial
tfthar1 if Auarv trPA Wflc fit J)
different variety. ' '
In the autumn, when the fruit falls, you can find under this tree
apples of every known shape, size, color, flavor and marking, and several
that are entirely novel in every particular.
It is the experimental apple tree of Luther Burbank, and these hun
dreds of different fruit spurs have been grafted from seedling stock to dis
cover whether or not there is any merit in them.
This one tree is a laboratory that may entirely change the future of
the chief fruit industry of the nation, and is the most remarkable example
of man's control of natural laws we have known.
Thousands on thousands of new varieties of apples are tested by
scientists and nurserymen, and only once in perhaps a decade does some
single variety come forth from all this experimenting that it an improve
ment over standard sorts. t i
Of course some nurserymen and seedsmen exploit, with great to do,
boasted marvels every planting season, but the wise grower leaves these
novelties alone; most of them are never heard of five years after introduc
tion, or about the time they begin to show what they are.
If you are gomg to plant apples, whether it be a tree in the garden, or
fifty acres, your best program would be to write your state experiment
station, find out what varieties have proven best in your district, and then
plant those and nothing else. .
Also get your stock from the most reliable nurseryman you can dis
cover, even though his prices are double those of the unknown distant
seedsman, who paints his trees in alluring colors.

NE MORE JOB has been thrust
upon the retired farmer.
Hark, listen, take heed:
There is an animal that must be
taught that man is not his enemy
but his friend.
"The government makes urgent
plea that this animal be not made
extinct through the unfriendliness
of man. Encourage these animals
to breed in open places. Do not
molest them but make them feel at
home."
And what valuable domestic pet
are we to take io our bosoms and cherish?
The skunk, brethren, the skunk.
Make the skunk feel at home; do not molest him; open up the chicken
house and let him have a good feed.
Associate with him on terms of fraternity, equality and charity.
Take a stroll with him in the cool of the evening, and chuckle him
under the chin.
Chat with him by the open fire; let him bring forth skunklets in open
places; righto boss, righto!
While we have not associated with skunks except throught circum
stances over which we had no control, still we have noted that the skunk
feels at home usually wherever he may be. If you see a proud striped
kitty, with bushy tail curled over its slim back, mincing alohg without hurry
or sign of alarm, that is your newest little pet, Si.
Be good to him, Uncle Sam says so.
Before slopping the sows take a bucket of hot milk down the ravine
to the 'kunk village.
If it be cold late in the spring bring in the tender wee babies; cute
little scent bags, and warm them by an open fire.
And when the eventful day is done, retire to your welcome couch dug
three feet deep in some soft compost heap, that the odor of your job may
depart from you.
Evidently certain departmental officials still regard the farmers of the
country as stage tradition depicts Si Hopkins of Greasy Corners.
As a dubious cross between a durn fool and a lunatic.
