the seeds are planted in a seed
bed in rows wide enough apurt
to permit of easr cultivation. The
following spring they may be
planted in the nursery in rows
four feet apart, and about eight
een inches distaut in the row. In
transplanting, the tap root should
he pruned back to about one'half
its leogth and all side branches
of the stem removed. Frequent
cultivation should follow during
the summer.
A fair average growth for seed
lings the tirst year is one foot.
In orchard rows the trees should
be about thirty feet apart each
way. They will be ready to graft
in about three years. The young
trees should be protected until
they are tirmly established,
During the tirst ten years ol
the establishment of an orchard
the ground may be used for oth
er crops, but should be kept well
fertilized, andespecialcareshould
ho taken to avoid injuring the
trees. By k jepiug the grass a
way from the seedlings they will
be protected from mice, which
sometimes cause considerable
trouble and expense by girdling
the young trees. Seedlings will
begin to bear when about ten
years old.
The ambitious young man's
$500 may not go very far in con
ducting a nursery and growing
an orchard on cultivated land, ev
en if he should get the land at a
cheap figure. It will enable him,
however, to deal in comparatively
worthless tracts, and, according
to experts, produce a golden har
vest in course of time.
'The chestnut is not free from
tuemies," Professor Davis' re
port states, "and the success of
cultivation in America will large
ly depeud upon whether the in
sects which feed upon the nut
and bur can bo controlled.
"At present extensive experi
ments are being made which aim
to prevent the maturing of the
larvae in and near the orchard.
The weevil u not the only insect
enemy, perhaps not the most in
jurious. At least two larvae feed
upon the bur or busk, and from
what we have seen during th
last two years these are the ones
to be especially feared. Thene
insect have not as yet been con
trolled in Amarica.
!'The best plan tried is to re
move all chestnuts and burs from
the orchard as socn as the oats
are ripe. The burs are burned as
soon as the nuts are removed, and
tno nuts are assorted, the defec
tives ones being destroyed."
Horace Greeley advised young
men to go West and grow up with
the country. This might now be
paraphrased :
"Young man, buy some waste
land and let chestnut trees grow
you a fortune while yon wait."
BIG MONEY IN CHESTNUTS
(Continued from first puce.)
on the bill of fare of the Ameri
can people; yet housewives are
constantly complaining of thelack
of variety in foods obtainable.
"In chemical composition and
relative food value, tho chestnut
is a better balanced and more
nutritious food than other nuts,
and of many of the cereals.
"In Europe the cultivated chest
nut is en important food product
and in Italy, France, Spain and
Turkey it serves as one of tho
chief articles ot food to the peas
ants who long ego learned how
to prepare it.
"The chestnuts may be used as
a vegetable, or ground into a Hour
and made into bread, or prepar
ed as a soup or pudding. Chest
nuts made into candy are also
well known."
There is virtu illy no time limit
to the bearing ability, of these
trees. Records obtained in Spain
and Italy show specimens more
than 2000 years old, and still bear
ing with pristine vigor.
The number ol young, burs that
will mature on a young tree is as
tonishing. A four year old tree
matured 200 burs, many of them
containing two or three nuts, and
all well developed.
From this tree early the same
season 300 young burs had been
picked to prevent too great a yield
otherwise the matured nuts
would have been smaller, or the
tree might have broken down un
der the weight.
The nuts are from three to four
inches in circumference, and oc
casionally one is found that will
cover a silver dollar, while an av
erage nut will cover a silver halt
dollar.
Here, then, is the hint to the
young man who is seeking a for
tune: Grow chestnuts !
"Mr. Sober," so states the re
port of Professor Davis, "had
nearly four hundred acres of
waste mountain land on his es
tate, and desired to reclaim it.
"Originally it had been covered
by a dense growth of piue, but
this had been cut off years be
fore, and in its place oak aud
chesnutcameup, with other hard
wood trees. This had again been
cut down and all valuable t'mber
sold, .only stumps, brush aud
worthless logs remaining.
"During the winter of 1(M the
rubbish was removed from 100
acres of this land, and the follow
ing spring and summer a vigor
ous growth of sprouts sprang up
aroundeach stump, many sprouts
being from six to eight feet high,
and over an inch in diameter at
the base.
"In the spring of 1898, two
years after the clearing of the
land, the grafting began. At
first the results were not encour
aging, but Mr. Sober learned how
to do the work better as ho went
along, and 75 per cent of the
scions grafted in 1900 lived.
"The trees tirst grafted were
now in a condition to furnish an
abundance of scions, and each
year, duringFebruary and March,
bundles of scions were cut and
kept in a cool place, packed iu
damp sand or moss. The scions
must be Kept dormant, and us
ually about May 1 tney are plac
ed in boxes and buried among the
cakes of ice in an ice house, where
they remain until wanted. May
Is the month for grafting, al
though the season varies some
what from one year to another."
In the light of recent exper
ience it is claimed that if the
grafting is well done 90 per cent
of the grafts should live. An ex
perienced man should set 250
scions a day, and do it well.
The yearly growth of grafts,
when properly treated, is re
markable. They are often from
two to three feet long when two
months old. Professor Davis
measured one that was fourteen
days old and ten inches loug.
The owner of a grove may thus
almost see his fortune growing.
During the last lew years many
experiments have been made with
seedlings. . . ,
Seed for this purposo ran be
planted in the fall soon after the
uuts are ripe, or kept over until
spring and then planted in the
seed bed in light sandy soil or
pure leaf mold.
When possible, it is nest to
plant tho seed where the t ee is
expected to grow, sinco the long
tap root renders it somewhat dif
ficult to transplant. Otherwise

THE FARMER IN POLITICS.

The farmer has always been in
politics, but ur-ually it is as u par

the strange spell of tradition and
association lie votes with his par
ty. Neighbors whoso interests
are identical, vote to?- opposite
parties aud opposing candidates.
As a result how little thought is
given by the makers of platforms
aud the franiers of laws to the
interests and wants of the farm
er. But party ties have little hold
on the representatives of corpor
ate wealth and the mouied inter
ests generally. Sentiment plays
oo part with them on electioj day.
They vote for what they want and
the statute books show the re
sult. What the farmer needs is
to know and trust his fellow farm
ers to learn what are their com
mon interests aud to make hi.
