How TO M,SrEE TREEs. Very few Per.
son. manure trees growing in sod or grass
land, in judieious or econcmical manner.
The general practice il to Dig the manure
in. within diameter OF six feet, having the
body for the centre. The tree takes its
food from the young rOoilets, whose mouths
extend just Us FAR ON every side, rs the
branches OF tho trees; hence, this manure
applied close to the body OF the tree, is not
where the roots take it up; and, Of course,
but li,le Of i;s value is absorbcG by the tree.
II you doubt it. just try the experiment on
two trees. Serve the one as above named,
aud the others as follows, viz; Mark
circle around the tree. having for its out
line the exact radius formed by the over
hanging branches; dig on the inner side OF
this circle trench two feet wide. and one
foot deep; mix we'll ro,,ed manure half and
half with the best OF the soil, or earth dug
out OF the trench. and GIL the trench with
il; then replace the turf, and wheel away
the refuse or extra earth; rake il clean and
smooth you will have good growth Of
trees; your fruit large and more fair. and
no unsightly or unnatural hillOek or mound
