WINTER MANAGEMENT CT FRUIT
TREEs.-Those who have newly trans
planted orchards and fru, gardens,
should remember that winter affords
opportunities for rendering them inn
portant assistance in growth, Where
the soil Is not rich enough at the tine
the trees are set out, it may be made so
afterwards. The best time is to apply
manure to the surface in the fall: and
after undergoing u thorough washing
into the soil by the fall, winter and
springs rains. Il is to be spaded or
pIoughed in before the heat Of the
summer. II there is any reason to
apprehend injury from mice. the man
ure used for this purpose should De
either well roited or free from straw
or coarse tibres, which might afford
a harbor for these dep-edators. limo
application has been made Ia autumn
il Is still not too late. as the late winter
and spring rains will do essential
service. We have found it advanta-
geous to add 10 the manure about
one-tenth to one-twentieth Of wood
ashes. The spent ashes from the
ommon domestic leach is still quite
strong and valuable for this purpose.
Washing the bark Of young trees,
which is infested with moss, scales or
eggs Of insects, with solution Of sal
soda Of the shops. gives the bark a
fine. clean, healthy appearance. Any
mild day Of winter is good time for
the work.
All fruit rsisers will remember for
long time the heavy losses expert
enced last winter from mice. The
sharp frost Of the past month, togeth-
err with the small amount Of snow in
most localities, has served to check
them and we hope not to hear from
them soon. Banking up around the
stems, as we have heretofore describ-
ed, has always proved most efficient
remedy in all ordinary instances: but
IL this has not been attended TO before
the freezing up Of the ground. It will
be an important precaution to tread
the snow about the trees a few inches
on each side. whenever there is q
fresh fall Of snow or fresh drifts.
