Fall Planting of Wines and Fruit
Trees

Now is the time to otterd to the i'm
portant matter of planting vines and fruit
trees. A correspondent Of the Rwal
World says:
The foliage vines IS now nearly dead ;;
on apples it may be removed with safely /;
and planting can be undertaken with
advantage Some think.that ilthey plant
by the first Of January, it is fall planting;
but to this we take exception: the full
benefit Of fall planting is only to be ex>
pected by being done in October or Nos
vember. While the arguments that arise
from the questions of the leisure, the con
ditiOn Of the soil, the condition of the
plants-are all in favor. OF fall planting
still, much care and judgement are necess
sary in regard to soil and other Circum-
stances. Attention must be given to the
making of the holes We must see that
deep holes are not dug so as to hold
water and have the roots standing in min
iature ponds all winter. In planting, cut
the broken roots off clean with a sharp
knife Trim the head in a symmetrical
manner, and raise the soil to the stem Of
the tree, so as to steady it against the
wind the soil to be removed in spring
With vines we operate in a similar man.
ner, covering the cane, when cut off to
the proper height, with three or four
inches Of earth. If instead of making
holes for either trees or vines, plOw and
sub,sOilcr can be run in burrows. back
and forward to the proper depth, first the
one way, then the other, and the plant set
at the angle, it will, in many cases avoid
the danger Of water resting around the
root, as well as be more cxpeditiOusly
performed All our plants suffer much
by being planted too late in spring the
summer drouth operating before the tree
has formed its TOot-system."
The HorticultWiSt says that in planting
this fall, all should remember that it is
requisite to set the tree only just SO deep
as to enable it to stand for we can place
earth around it SO as to protect it from
heaving off the winters frost, and as soon
as spring opens and the ground is leveled
down, the roots will start and seek their
appropriate depth. If we dig a deep
hole, especially in hard clay soil, and
fill it with good loan, and set our tree
therein, We first invite the water there as
into a cistern-and second, we cause a
vigorous growth Of roots until they reach
the undisturbed clay, when a check is at
once perceptible; and often an orchard
stands from five to seven years without
apparently making nyprogress. Remem.
Der, then, and plant your trees just so
deep as to cover their roots, but no more;
then earth up for a winter protection
against frost for the first year, and dress
down again to a level in the spring

Mary of the best farmers and horse
raisers in the country firmly believe that
bots DO kill horses. The testimony Of
Youatt, Spooner, Stewart and Dadd-
professional men, is against the death
theory from bots. 1t is asserted by these
that bots do not feed upon The stomach,
but upon the chyme or pulp formed Of
the food eaten, and never turn upon the
former till it is so diseased as to indicate
the immediate death of the horse. 1t is
then the bot seeks to secure an avenue Of
escape, by fastening upon and perlora,
ting the walls Of his natural prison-thc
stomach If this be the true theory, as it
would seem to be from the prcponderance
of professional authority in its favor, the
practice of drugsing horses for bots ought
to cease, especially as the bot is not
killed by the operation, and but rarely
dislodged by it. As an Indication of the
tenacity with which the bot clings to life,
MAYHEM cites an instance in which a
portion of the stomach, covered with
bots, was corked up in spirits Of wine for
two years, without killing them. A
clergyman furnishes the following to the
New York OJsUrr:

of horses, and seen them, said to be sicE

Koo Crops rr,ir Uses aud marnge


The cultivation of root crops for feed
ing purposes has attracted considerable
attention from time to time, but has not
become very general The principal rea,
son for this is found in the fact of our in
different cultivation and the cost of hand
labor. Root crops have not been found
as remunerative as our great cereal Ia

time has yet come when they can compete

was poured down his throat, which soon
relieved him of pain; and large quantity
of dead bots passed away from him. To
me this remedy was new, but it may be
commonly known to farmers. But be this
as it may, an important inquiry here
arises, namely, are those eminent farriers,
Youatt and Spooner, right in what they
say with regard to bots and, if SO, what
worms are those which, with farmers and
others, have so long gone by the name of
bots, and Of which horses so often die, as
IS proved by examining their stomach,
which are extensively eaten and pierced
through by them.
We hope that some of our farmers
whose horses may be troubled with the
bots, will give the potato juice a trial If
it does no good it will certainly do no
harm.

wheat twenty-five Years in succes-
sion.

In late number of the HiSh Farm
ers' Gazette an inquiry was addressed to
J. B. Lawes, asking whether it was true,
as reported, that he had grown wheat
twenty five years consecutively on the
same land without the aid of any fertil,
izer, and, if so, the character of the
yield at the last cropping. The response
was an affirmative one, to the effect that
he commenced cropping, as an expert
ment, in 1914, following wheat with wheat
without applying any manure. As soon
as the harvest was over, the field was
plowed TO the ordinary depth of four or
five inches, and left undisturbed till the
last week in October or the first one in
November, when the ground was har-
rOwed and two bushels of seed to the
acre drilled in. Care was taken not to
turn up the subsoil, leaving the ground
to its natural yield from year to year
without manurial aid. The crop in 1914
was fifteen bushels to the acre, and the
twenty fifth one sixteen bushels Care
was always taken to keep down grass and
weeds in the wheat feld-hoeing twice
and even three times where necessary

last year friend of his threshed his oats
in his orchard and then placed his chat
under IA peach tree to tho depth of
twelve or fourteen inches The result
was that the peaches on that tree were
twice the size of the same variety on
other trees. He wishes to know if it
would be injurious toyoung trees to pro-
tect them in that manner from severe
rosts through winter. Matching under
NEST conditions is valuable, and to a
small extent practicable, but our large
peach orchards must depend mainly on
clear, thorough culture for their fine
