Do not rush headlong Into the arms
of the fruit agent to give him au
order for trees to be delivered next
spring before you have prepared the
ground for ihe trees
Order a few choice varieties of
peach from some reliable nursery to
be delivered next spring.
Spring is the best time for setting
the peach orchard.
For all oilier fruits I prefer fall set-
ting; this gives us a ehance to pre-
pare tlie soil which will become set-
tled about the roots of the trees set
and they will start, off early and get
a good hold on the soil before hot or
dry weather.
Select medium-sized trees. They
give better results Ilian large ones.
Make up your mind to spray, prune,
cultivate and fertilize the trees that
are starting in. If you cannot do this,
let fruit growing alone^

the most daring

aJuMpRijt reminds one of the conqueror Cortez
burning his ships behind him. On
previous expeditions with the pole as
goal the explorers have laid a succes-
sion of bases upon which they could depend when
returning. Sir Ernest will push straight onward,
from sea to sea. not reckoning at all on the pos-
sibility that an expedition may come a little way
to meet him.
For several years Sir Ernest held the record of
approaching closer to the South pole than any
other man. He feels keenly the dimming of Brit-

known tracts along the coast near the winter

The aeroplane with clipped wings will not be
able to fly. Its wings will take practically all the
weight off the wheels.
Wireless and moving picture outfits will not be
carried, it is expected, on the transcontinental
trip. But one. cinematograph machine will go with

Farmer Should Prepare Half an
Acre of Land Not Far From
the Dwelling House.
Often it is the wife who suggests
to the husband that she would like
to plant a bed or strawberries, a row
or raspberry, blackberry or grape-
vines across the garden, or a row of
dwarf pear trees, and often the hus-
band meets*this suggestion with the
reply, "l have no place for planting
them.” Possibly, writes the editor
or (ireen's Fruit Orower. this excuse
is a valid one, but more often it is
Spray to Kill Insects.
For a spray to be applied to neats
and roosting places to kill insects,
mix three parts of kerosene to one
part of crude carbolic acid of 95 per
cent, strength. Stir this mixture be-
fore it is used. It also may be used
as a paint as well as a spray.
Cheap Feed for Pigs.
Clover is very much cheaper feed
for pigs than grain and it pays to
give them all of it they will eat. Fat-
tening hogs will make the same gain
on 25 per rent, less grain where tiiey

The expedi-

w hat may be the last stages of Shackleton s route.
But Shackleton will not depend oil them in any
way. They may not be laidiat all. It Shackleton
doesn't arrive this season, the second ship will
return south the next year again.
Five months is the time Shackleton estimates
as necessary for his crossing of the south polar
continent, lie allows ten days for delays by bliz-
zards. The minimum distance from sea to sea is
1,700 miles, but it is probable that Sir Ernest will
try to cover new ground throughout and so go
much farther.
The "transarctic party." as Sir Ernest calls
it. will begin its journey with 120 dogs, two
sledges driven by aeroplane propellers with aerie
plane engines, and an aeroplane with clipped
wings to "tarri” over the ire But a large part of
the work of transport will be by dogs. L)ogs will

The start will be front Argentina in October or
