Nranuring Fruit Trees.

The Dutch, who are admirable garden
ers, had in the great exhibition an lnstru-
ment called earth Borer," for manuring
fruit trees without digging the ground. A
circle of holes is bored around the tree at
two feet distance from it, and foot from
each other. Taking the tree at foot di-
ameter at the surface Of the soil, the circle
will be five feet in diameter and fifteen
feet in circumference; and if the holes are
three inches in diameter and foot apart
fifteen inches-there viii be about
twelve holes; more or less according to the
diameter of the tree. They are eighteen
inches deep (where there is enough depth
of soil and slanting toward the center; are
filed with liquid manure, diluted more or
less in dry weather, and stronger as the
weather is wetter. For the time Of appli-
= cation, DIR. Lindley tells US (Gardners
Chronicle, Feb. 81, 1929 "For fruit, the
proper time for using liquid manure is when
the fruit begins to swell, and has acquired
by means of its own surface, a power Of
suction capable Of opposing that Of the
leaves. AT that time, liquid manure may
be applied freely, and continued from time
to time as long as the fruit is growing
But at the first sign of ripening, or even
earlier, it should be wholly Withheld. If
liquid manure is applied to plant when
the flowers are growing, the vigor which it
communicates to them must also be COM
muncated to the leaves; but when leaves
are growing unusually fast, there is some
times danger that they may rob the
branches of the sap required for the nutri-
ton IF the fruit; and, if that happens, the
latter falls off And we all know, that
when ripening has once begun, even wat
er spoils the quality of the fruit, although
it augments the size, as is sufficiently
shown by the strawberries prepared for the
London market by irrigation; great addi-
tional size is obtained, but it is at the e.
pense of flavor, and any injury which more
water may produce, will certainly not be
diminished by water holding ammoniacal
and saline substances in solution" | am
not aware that this information has made
its way into our orchards, finding no alla
sion to it in any of our books ON orchard
management, nor at our agricultural NEE
tings. The time is just coming for put
ting it to the test, and it remains with the
fruit growers to see what profit they can
make of it. They need, in these times,
all they can get, and this method has
the recommendation of requiring little out
lay in any, Mark Lane Express.

CIsTERNs.-Look well to your cistern
To any one who has examined the contents
of cistern, it is evident that the water
and dirt at the bottom, often have strong
stencil in them, while the water in the
upper part Of it is comparatively sweet and
pure. This is owing to the animal matter
that settles at the bottom, forming mass
of putrid carton.
In all rain, river and sea water, there are
immense numbers of animals so small as
to be invisible to the naked eye. Infuse
little pepper into it, to give activity to
them, and then place it under a micro
scope and it will be alive with animals
They are called intusor. They are short
lived, and from their immense numbers of
ten form one-fourth of the rich mud at
the mouths of our rivers.
So with the mud in the bottoms of els
terms. 1t is caused, principally, by depos-
it of this animal matter, and undergoes dis
composition, putrdity, and produces stencil
the same as any other animal matter. I'm
less it be cleaned out, at least once year,
the water becomes the essence of carion.--

Its use, undoubtedly, is often the cause
