Chicago, Jan. 21st.--Announcement has been made to-day of the pro­ motion of General Manager William A. Gardner of the Chicago ft North­ western railroad to be a vice-pres­ ident of the road. This is an­ other chapter in the steady rise of Mr. Gardner since he first entered the service of that road in 1878 as a telegrapher. Other changes have been made among the vice-presidents of the road, who are now four in number, and each has charge of a certain de­ partment of the administration of the road's affairs. According to the slate posted they are as follows: Hiram R. McCullough, in charge of freight pas­ senger traffic; William A. Gardner, in charge of the operation and main­ tenance of the railway of the com­ pany and of its proprietary railways; Marshall M. Kirkman, in charge of receipts and disbursements, end John M. Whitman, in charge of location and construction of new lines. William A. Gardner was born in Gardner, 111., March 8, 1859. Since 1878 he has held many positions with the road, until Dec. 1, 1900, when he was appointed general manager.

Fruit, shade and ornamental trees. grape vines and small fruits should be planted as early in the spring as the condition of the ground will per­ mit. They will then get the benefit of the early spring rains and be ready to withstand the drouth, which generally follows. They should never be plant­ ed when the ground is too wet, as this will cause it to hake and harden, around the roots. If the farmer Is getting his stock from the nursery and it should freeze during transit, he has only to keep it in cellar storage for a few days and it will come out just as fine for planting as if freshly dug, and I think sometimes that it grows better, Peach, cherry, pear and apple trees will often bud In transit, and if while in that condition are immediately planted, they will hardly ever fail to grow. When planting trees it has been my habit to tramp the dirt around the roots, but some prefer giv­ ing them water and settling the dirt In that way. Both methods are prao> tical. Last spring we planted quite a plat of Cumberland raspberries early In March. The ground would freese every night and we could only plant during the afternoons. To our surprise we had twice the growth this last sea­ son we have ever had before. To be able to do this one must have plants from his own growing, as it would be too early to ship them safely. Straw­ berries could not be planted so early, as the ground would heave from freez­ ing and destroy the plants. My observation has been that the early-set plants make the best growth early, and that shallow cultivation should follow setting, no matter at what time the setting is done. One should never plant when he has to "mud in" the plants. It is better to heel in the plants and wait a few days, as soil right for tree planting or plant setting is right for plowing, ahd every up-to-date farmer nowa­ days knows when to plow.--J. W. Cog- dall, Sangamon Co., HI* la "Farmers' Review. Orchard on Poorly Prepared Land. In regard to setting orchards on land not previously prepared, I will say I would not advise setting peach trees on this land at all, as it would be too rich, being pastured all the time, since the timber was cleared away. If roots and stumps are pretty well out of the ground it would be safe to plant apples the coming spring; the land being a clay loam is good for apples. I don't like to set any kind of an orchard where the ground is full of roots, as Wooly Apis or root fungus will attack and kill the trees in from one to five years. I would set if there were no other chance and overcome the difficulty spoken of by vigorous cultivation in corn continually for a period of five years, and I would advise setting apple trees on this land 40x40 feet apart, if roots or stumps are still in the .ground. The reason for this is so that I would have room to cultivate in corn until the roots were all gone. Of course if roots were out of the ground I would plant closer together, say 30x30 feet, and cultivate in corn three years at least. It will be safe for him to set his trees this spring if he cultivates as herein described. He cah prepare the ground in the spring the same as for. a corn crop and set out treeB, and the preparation of the ground will go on while he is culti­ vating the corn crop on same. You will find by this method a rapid growth on the trees, which by the sixth year will begin to bear some fruit. I would advise shallow culti­ vation afterwards once a year in early spring, as too much cultivation when, >earing makes too much wood growth ind no fruit buds of any consequence. White Co. Francis M. Flota. Using Inverted 8od. There are many kinds of plants like melons that cannot be transplanted to the open field under ordinary meth­ ods. It was found out long ago, how­ ever, that plants that could not be transplanted could be grown on in­ verted sod and the sod Itself taken to the open field when the plant ob­ tained a good growth. Sod for this purpose should be cut In the. very early spring, as soon as the frost .Is melted below the sod line. This will be several weeks before it would be possible to sow seeds in the open ground. This sod can be taken into the greenhouse, the cellar or the dwelling house and receive the seed of the melon, squash, -cu­ cumber or other plant , Varietes of Melons. Varieties of melons do not always Indicate what may be expected from that locality. The locality in which a melon is grown regulates to a large extent its value, as its flavor depends upon the sunshine, and moisture it receives in developing. Thus, the fa­ mous Rocky Ford melon is only the common Gem melon of the Eastern spates. But when grown in Rocky Ford, Colo., under a cloudless sky and supplied with an abundance of moisture, it develops a flavor and siae not found la the more Eastern states. ' ..* I „'.V, _ •*.

This total la. realized from the sale of fresh meats (beef, mutton aad pork), provisions, produce (poultry, butter and eggs), soaps, glues, oils, bones, fertilizers, feathers, casings, hides, wools, pelts and other by-prod­ ucts derived from cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry. Margin of Profit The Industry Is operated on a mar­ gin of less than 2 cents to each dol­ lar of sales. Swift it Co. do not sell at retail. Their entire output Is sold at wholesale to many thousands of dealers In various parts of the world. There are hundreds of local slaughter­ ers throughout the United States, who buy their live stock In competi­ tion with the packer doing an inter­ state and international business. Like­ wise the packer must sell in compe­ tition with the local slaughterers. There are no secret processes in the Industry, no complicated and expen­ sive factories, and as live stock can be purchased in almost every hamlet and city, and the preparation of meats Is simple In the extreme, local slaughtering will long remain a fac­ tor in the production of fresh meats and provisions. Economic Advantages. The large packing houses will, how­ ever, always have jthese advantages: Locations at the chief live stock cen­ ters, with the opportunity to buy the best live stock; manufacturing In large quantities, at the minimum of expense; utilization of all waste mate­ rial; refrigeration; mechanical appli­ ances; highly efficient business man­ agement These advantages are re­ flected In the quality of the packer's output, a quality that has reached Its highest development In the products bearing the nam* and brand of "Swift" Purchasing Live 8tock. The principal live stock centers are Chicago;, ITansss City, Omafca» St Louis, St Joseph, St Paul and Fori Worth. The same methods of pur* chasing cattle^ sheep and hogs prevail at all cities. At Chicago^ which is the largest market, there are about two hundred and fifty buyers, repre­ senting packers, local slaughterers in various cities and exporters. Of this number, Jess than a score are employ­ ed by Swift ft Company. The fanner ships his live stock to Chicago, consigns them to a commis­ sion firm at the Union Stock Yards, who sees that they are unloaded and put In pens. Then the buyers inspect them, make their offers to the com- missiOu ucaler, wuu ncc«pt| Or rejects as his Judgment dictates. All buying must be finished at S o'clock each day,, and the buyer must pay spot cash. If the commission man has no satis­ factory offers, he can hold his stock over to the next day. He gets his commission from the farmer, and nat urally strives to get the highest pos­ sible price for his client Wholesale Distributing Houses. A wholesale distributing house is a giant refrigerator, but instead of shelves there are trolley rails, from which are suspended hooks to hang the carcasses. Some of the houses cost as much as a hundred thousand dollars to build and equip. As a rule they are of pressed brick, the Insldes being lined--floor, walla and ceiling-- with highly polished hardwood. The floors are covered dally with fresh sawdust and all are kept spotlessly clean. There are over three hundred of these wholesale houses In various cities of the United States, and the publie Is always welcome to visit Packing Plants. Floor Land, Buildings, Space, Land, Acres.

The housewife makes no greater ef­ fort to keep her kitchen clean than we do to keep in sanitary and hygienic condition our abattoirs.

Rigid rules gov­ erning these points are strictly en­ forced; laxity means dismissal. Visitors Always Welcome.
