WHAT Coon FARMING WILL Do.-Dr. Geo.
B. Loring, President of the New England
Society, in recent address claimed that New
England was destined to become the great
school of agriculture for the rest of the
Union. Her barren soil requires close and
scientific culture, and her farmers must use
not only their hands but their brains. What
can be done he illustrated by this example:
He knew man in Massachusetts who in
1925 bought twenty acres of land. He has
applied TO 1t all the accurate knowledge that
he could get There is no month in the year
that something does not bloom OH his farm;
there is something green there always; and
he always has some crop to send to market
You walk through it and find everything go
ing OH just as regularly, accurately and care
fully as the cotton goes through the loom.
He has managed his affairs with prudence,
accuracy and care, and has made from his
farm of twenty acres two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in forty years. There is no
illegal farming, no Legitimate farming, no
careless farming that will thrive in New
England"

Planting Apple Orchards ,

We have long been under the impression,
brought TO it merely by observation, that as
a rule the trees in our apple orchards are
planted too distantly apart. Many farmers
look upon the space usually occupied by
orchards as almost so much waste. They
say, we get so little fruit from the ground
taken up by the trees, and VIC cannot cult
vate the orchards, as we should like, from
injury to the roots, &C., so that we are
forced on the score of economy to abandon
| apple raising. Now practically,an orchard
| should be an orchard only. Except for
grass, it should be left uncultiyated, after
the trees have reached say about four inches
| in diameter. We can see no reason why a
good crop of grasses, should not be continu-
Ously produced for a quarter or a third OF a
century, without disturbance. A top-dress-
| ing of manure once in two or three years,
,ce k,lo,v, has produced fine yields Of grass
annually of two crops. The trees have little
OF no influence upon the crop of grass; in
deed If they possess any, it is in affordins
heavier swath atntlcr the trees.
Hence, instead of setting our young Or
chards thirty and thirty-five feet apart re-
duce the distance TO about twenty feet, in
the quincunx form; and if at any time the
| trees should threaten to become little
crowded, prevent it by additional pruning
| This is our theory.
The leading purpose of an orchard should
be to obtain fruit next the crop that will
do the least damage to the trees, This is
grass. Grass, however, will not do any
damage to the apple trees, but the contrary.
1t keeps the soil moist and of a uniform
protecting the roots in summer
against heat and draught, and in winter
against the severe effects of alternate thaw-
ing and freezing. = Germantown 7ctc-
