IRON PIPE FOR POSTS. 
In reference to query of F. T. B., on page 
780, as to iron pipe for posts, several., years 
ago 1 tried some and on the whole did not 
find them successful. Pipes tip to one inch 
in diameter were bent by wind. I was using 
them also for grape trellis. There was also 
some trouble in fastening wires on, and 
where fastened on the rusting of the pipe 
and probably friction owing to slight move¬ 
ment of wires caused wires to rust off at 
junction of wire and post very rapidly. If 
F. 'I'. Ii. has to pay one cent per foot for 
pipe and can get good locust at even two 
cents, I should advise from my experience the 
locust every time. a. h. s. 
I set old iron two-inch pipe posts for a 
grape arbor 15 years ago and they show no 
wear yet. The principal part is to keep the 
water out of the inside of the pipe. I made 
wooden plugs about 4 or 5 Inches long, 
pointed them with a hatchet and drove them 
in with sledge hammer level with the pipe. 
Then 1 put a coat of coal tar on top of the 
post. Handled this way posts will last 30 
to 40 years if not longer. c. t. 
HALF BARREL APPLE CASE. 
Cut below shows a box which has been suc¬ 
cessfully used by George A. Cochrane, of 
Boston, in exporting apples. It Is a two- 
compartment box made much like an orange 
case. The ends and middle section are 12% 
Inches square and three-fourths inch thick. 
The remainder of the box is three-eighths 
inch material, with one-fourth-inch spaces 
between as shown. The ends should be put 
with grain running one way and middle piece 
the other. Made thus the box will stand 
hard usage without breaking. The nails 
should be two inches long. 
Root-Pruned Trees. —The American 
Agriculturist prints some replies to a 
question about the advantage of root- 
pruning trees. The following note by 
Edw. Van Alstyne seems to us very sen¬ 
sible : 
As a rule we are too ready to condemn any¬ 
thing that is new, or directly opposed to our 
stereotyped way of doing things, as is the 
Stringfellow method of tree planting. That 
this is unwise is manifested by the fact: that 
out: of all such radical measures come Im¬ 
provements, and a better way of doing things. 
For instance, Grant Hltchlngs's method of 
non-cultivation and mulching young apple 
orchards is extreme, and impractical for a 
large class of orchardists. But it has re¬ 
sulted in attention to sod orchards, mulching, 
light, pruning and low-headed trees that will 
be of inestimable value to the fruit grower. 
So with the Stringfellow way. To trim the 
roots of a tree to stubs and set. it in a hole 
made by a bar or some other light tool, works 
well in the bands of tlie author, and, with as 
careful a man, in a like soil and climate, is 
undoubtedly all right. To follow this in New 
York and New England, in the great majority 
of cases, means dead trees. Careful trial has 
shown that all the long feeding roots and 
the deep hole tilled with rich, mellow soil, 
that we used to talk so much about, is largely 
nonsense. These were the things on which 
we were laying great stress, and neglecting 
the weightier matters of a stocky, healthy 
tree, set in earth solid enough to keep it firm, 
without so much top as to be blown about 
with any wind. The mellow soil and fertility 
can easily be supplied after the tree is thor¬ 
oughly rooted and grounded. If these are 
provided, the root system and top will take 
cure of themselves. 
The writer probably has the largest root- 
pruned orchard in the North. The trees 
are now old enough to show what they 
will do. They run all the way from close 
to a failure to a success. The reason for 
each is quite evident to those who see the 
trees. We shall keep on root-pruning.

National Bu ttermakers Convention 
ALL DE LAVAL USERS. 
The Annual Convention of the National Buttermakers Asso¬

been the chief feature of these Conventions, and in every year 
since their inauguration, in 1892, DE LAVAL separator butter 
has made a clean sweep of all awards and all higher scores. 
1904 shows even a more overwhelming DE LAVAL triumph 
than ever before.
