THE f a r m in g w o r l d .. f r u i t t r e e l a b e l s . .Hatter of More Importance Than Moat ' ‘ , Fruit tirowera Think. It bos lK't'h many years since we pub­ lished a ' description, of a very simple label for marking the name of a bear­ ing fruit tree, consisting of a small Atrip of sheet zinc a few inches long, name, written with a common lead pencil on one end, and the other end. coiled rouud a side ibranch of the tree. The rinc being slightly rusted w ill take the pencil mark very distinctly, and will last half a century exposed to the weather. Yet notwithstanding the cheapness and completeness -of this label, it does, not appear to have been known or adopted by w rite rs' on orcharding, either in Europe or in this country. English and American jour­ nals frequently describe more complete and less durable labels, and. among others one represented in the accom­ panying cut, Fig. 1. It consists of two S E C K E L FIG. 1. parts—tho copper wire-loop, around which the zinc or other metal is coiled, while the loop passing around the side limb holds it to the tree. In addition to its more complex form the wire is more apt to cut the bark of the branch to which it is,hung than the broad strip in Fig. 2. . Being blown about by the wind, the copper wire often cracks off in a few years. One of these compound labels may . be easily made into a simple one by talc­ ing out and throwing aside the copper wire, and ihstead of coiling the flat jBAR ffLE j"1 FIG. 2. portion of the label around the copper wire, to coil it at once arouud the. side branch, as shown in Fig. 2. Another advantage which the form has, which we have so long used, is that, it has something of an automaton character, by graduaiy uncoiling from the branch with the increase in growth. Such a label may seem like a simple thing, but preserving the. names of fruit trees so that they may be /at once ^recognized and mistakes prevented, is ^m a t t e r of importance to fruit grow ­ ers.—Country Gentlemen. UNCOUNTED CREDIT. SCALES ON THE FjftRNj* i’Ue> vagr. Hie Carprul Farmer Wig Intar* 'V fW iVq’ ; Where there Is a considerable number of stock bred, fed and fattened for mar­ ket, scales can be made to pay a good interest on the investment. It certainly does not pay to sell anything by guess, and even with farm products it is fairer to both buyers and, sellers to have everything weighed Or measured rather than guessed at. But it is not alto­ getheran, baying and soiling that a good pair of scales can be made profitable. The average farmer cannot now uffprd to manage his business by guess work. The margin of profit between the value of the grain, hay and*other feed, isrtoo small to admit of guess work. It is only by weighing not only the; feed, biit the animals,' that we can know ac­ curately that a fair profit has been realized.. By weighing the feed, says Michigan Farmer, wo kliow its market, value. I f the stock are weighed when the feeding is commenced and then weighed again when they are sold, the amount of grain can be definitely known, and its value, taking ’the value of the feed from this, ought to give us • the amount of profit. The manure that can b o ' secured with proper care will be of sufficient value to pay for the work of. feeding and earing for them. There is no question that,stock .is very often kept upon the farm and fed, and when sold th e j do •not sell for a sufficient amount to'pay for food conskmed. It is easy to estimate, hut it is somewhat difficult to always do so correctly, and -it is'nothing more than natural that the farmer should want to consider that his work had been profitable. When hogs, cattle or -sheep are fed •with products •raised upon the farm, if a correct account is kept, and the nmonnt of profit that is realized is determined, the scales must be used. It may take a little time: so it does to weigh out sugar, measure calico or any other class, of goods the merchant sells. ' I f the merchant con­ siders it necessary to weigh and meas­ ure every small item connected with his business, is it not equally as important that the farmer, wlioao ■work is gener­ ally on a' larger scale so far as the items are concerned, should weigh and - do his work with at least some degree of accuracy?

If by education is meant the forma­ tion of character and of the habits of life essential to success in any business or profession, then the farm is one of the best of educational influences. No man can expect to succeed in an honest calling unless he acquires, some time in early life, habits of industry, frugality, economy, forethought aud the power to resist the temptations that lead to fast living and dissipation. These habits, if formed at all. must be formed before tlie character becomes fixed and established. It is just here that the education of the farm has its greatest value. It in a manner compels formation of these habits. The farm furnishes work to all ages, from the child to the full-grown man or woman. Success is possible only by the combined labor of all members of the family. There is little, temptation to extravagance in dress or modes of living. There is no wide distinction in classes, and the farmer’s boy instinct­ ively learns to judge men by what they arc In character rather than b y social position or by size of the bans: account. These, among other reasons and ad­ vantages, account for the fact that the farm boy in the race of life, as a rule, far outstrips Ills competitors of the city. The farm boy may be found in .all the professions, in the line of business, and in great manufacturing enterprises, at the head of the procession. He wins position, not by superior knowledge of hooks, or what is ordinarily called edu­ cation, hut.by tlie formation, under the influence of home, of those habits of which, after all, success in life mainly depends. This educational influence is an item of profit sadly left out of the calculations in those times of depres­ sion on the farm. N o farm depression cau take nwny its educational influence, except in so far as the farmer loses faith in his profession and imbues his children with his own scepticism. The essential point is to have right habits tooted and ground*! in the young, whether the immediate rewards be great or small, (le t the boys firmly fixed in these essential habits, and then, if. they hate a taste fo r some other profession, you can trust t h * » .« - Iowa llomsstsad. too w et to plant and so, although un­ even, has never been plowed?

He likes sunny grass, clean corn and a decent lied as well as other animals.
