How to Manure trees in Grass Land

very lew persons manure trees growing
in sod or grass land, IN iudiciuus or ecoBo.
mieal manner. The general practice is 70
dig the manure in, within diameter nj 81,
ieei, having the body for the. center. The
tree takes its food from the Young root ;e;s
whose mouths extend just as far on every
side ss the branches of The tree;' ence.th,s
manure applied close to ll,e BODY of ,hr
tree Is not where the roots can take it NJ,
and of course but little of It's yaIue is ab.
torbed by the tree. 1t you doubt it, lust lrv
the experiment on two trees. Serve IN.
one as above named, and tbe other as f,l.
lows; namely,
Mark circle around The tree, hcyiue for
lie outer line the exact radius formed by the
overhanging branches; dig on the inner side
OF this circle trench two feet q ide and
one deep; mix well-rctted manure. batfsnd
hall, with the best Of the soil. or the esr,b
dug out Of the<trench, and fill the trench
with it: then re place lie .urf, and gbeeI
away the refuse or extra earth; rake clesp
and smooth; you will have good growth
OF tree, your fruit larger nd more fair. and
no unsightly or unnatural hillock or mound
around the body Of the Tree.

Facts for the Farmer.

Carrots consume i97 pounds Of Lime to

hat is sandy or leachy. Lime and leached
ashes will also benefit leachy land.
A cubic foot of common arabic land will
aold 40 pounds of wsier.
A ton of dry forest leaves produce only
900 pounds Of mold; hence, 500 pounds of
mold will produce ten Of plants.
Clay. applied to sandy land, is fer better
then sand applied to clsy land. Oae hum
,red tons to the acre, will give an inch in
depth.

A rich mold, formed by ro.ting clover, is
