FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.


Now is the time to begin to prepare
the ground for the fall planting of
fruit trees The nurserymen out here
in the West, a majority of them, re-
commend taking up fruit trees in the
fall and covering or burying up until
spring, and then setting them ont.
Such was the advice received with n lot
of trees that I got last fall. But having
been accustomed to setting out in the
fall, although the trees reached me
rather late in the season, about the 10th
OF November, planted out right away,
and they every one lived, and made n
fine growth this summer One of my
neighbors followed the Instructions of
the nurserymen and planted in the
spring, and y out of 30 are dead and
the rest Of them look very feeble.

winter but if in the spring-say early
in April for this section-there is no
difficulty about it ut all. IF the new

ground from six to eight inches, and

want TO raise trees, cut ont every eye

you take them, and from every eye a
