The feature of the Summer meeting of 
the Wisconsin Horticultural Society this 
year was the “picnic” day. The young 
people were delighted, of course, while the 
old fellows showed plainly that a holiday 
was an unusual occurrence with them. 
When we arrived in Madison, after our 
moonlight boat-ride, all seemed anxious to 
pour out thanks to some one for the pleas¬ 
ures they had experienced. One man told 
me that It was the first real holiday he 
had had for 18 years! r. c. 
BUSINESS BITS. 
The farmer who has roots this year to 
supplement his grain ration can be con¬ 
sidered either lucky or possessed of a 
great deal of foresight. Of course it is dan¬ 
gerous to feed roots without cutting them, 
and no one can afford to spend the time 
and energy to do it by hand. Better look 
into the merits of the Banner root cutter. 
O. E. Thompson & Sons, Ypsilanti, Mich., 
manufacture it, and will send full infor¬ 
mation on request. 
A JET of steam will kill more microbes 
than any other agency. Nowadays dairy¬ 
men consider steam one of the necessities 
to insure cleanliness. A steam engine has 
this very strong advantage over all other 
kinds of power, and, of coui-se, is equal to 
any other for all kinds of farm work. If 
you want to know all about steam engines 
and what they will do, write to James 
Leffel & Co., Box 101, Springfield, O. 
“For Cream-of-the-Earth Folks” is the 
title of a neat booklet issued by the U. S. 
Butter Extractor Co., Bloomrield, N. J., set¬ 
ting forth the advantages of the Empire 
cream separators. Certainly the hand- 
power cream separator deserves to rank 
as one of the most important labor-savers 
and money-makers ever invented for tne 
farmer, and the Empire separator has 
achieved great popularity as an easy-run¬ 
ning, close-skimming machine, extreme.y 
simple in construction and easily cared for. 
We have been glad to notice in recent 
years an increasing tendency on the part 
of people to get back into the country, 
leaving the crowded cities and towns. Life 
is likely to be longer, as it certainly will 
be happier, where there is an abundance 
of pure air and sunlight, with unrestricted 
views of hill and vale, river and sea. We 
feel that the country at large is indebted 
to everyone who is making any effort what¬ 
ever to aid this movement. The W. F. 
Allen Land & Improvement Company, Sal¬ 
isbury, Md., was organized to place on the 
market good home properties in Maryland 
and elsewhere. Mr. Allen, who is at the 
head of this institution, has long been 
known, and favorably, too, as a straw¬ 
berry culturist, which brought him face to 
face with the fact that the cities are 
crowded with those who are needed by the 
country, and for whom a country life can 
do so much. Address W. F. Allen Land 
& Improvement Company, Salisbury, Md.

Seventieth Fair of the American 
Institute. 
One could scarcely realize the generally 
disastrous character of the season from a 
view of the fruits, flowers and vegetables 
at the seventieth annual fair of the Ameri¬ 
can Institute, held in the Berkeley Lyceum 
Building, New York, September 24-26. The 
display was more extensive and of much 
better average quality than for several 
years past. Grapes were sliown in great 
perfection and variety by Ellwanger & 
Barry, Rochester, N. Y., and C. C. Corby, 
Montclair, N. J. The latter had bunches 
of native varieties rivaling in size and 
beauty some of the best glass-grown for¬ 
eign grapes, but as they were the product 
of special amateur culture they did not rep¬ 
resent the normal character of the varieties 
as well as the Rochester exliibit. Camp¬ 
bell’s Early showed up extremely well, in 
good flavor as w’ell as size and appearance. 
Ellwanger & Barry had their usual large 
assortment of pears and apples. The pears 
were very fine, while the apples, though 
well developed, generally lacked color. 
Some good plums were shown by M. L. 
Bell, Sparkill, N. Y.; Wickson and Chabut 
seemed to be the best, though some of the 
largest plums labeled Wickson were evi¬ 
dently Kelsey. Cornell University had 
some novel fruits, among which were well- 
fruited branches of the Buffalo berry, 
Shepherdia argentea, and a collection of 
varieties of the European medlar. Smith's 
Hybrid pear was noted in this exhibit. It 
is of Chinese Sand pear origin and resem¬ 
bles Garber, but is uniformly smaller. 
There were no peaches, and but a little 
prominence was given to Kieffer pears. 
The vegetable and farm crop display was 
notably good. Probably no finer vegetables 
have ever been shown in the long series of 
fairs held by the Institute. A large ex¬ 
hibit from F. G. Bourne, Oakdale, L. I., 
was splendidly staged, the rich colors of 
the squashes and other cucurbits with the 
brilliant tints of tomatoes and peppers in 
variety made an effect but little inferior 
to portions of the flower section. But lit¬ 
tle was to be seen in the way of new varie¬ 
ties, though all the standards had been 
grown to great perfection. More good or¬ 
chids and foliage plants were staged than 
we have seen before, and the competition 
in Dahlias was closer and more extensive 
than in previous years. A very pleasing 
feature of the decorations was the large 
number of dwarf Flame flower, Knipho- 
phia Pfitzerii, from J. L. Childs, Floral 
Park, L. I. The extreme brilliancy of the 
compact spikes of this fine variety make 
it always a conspicuous object.
