~ farmer knows that hill Of corn or
potatoes will not amount to much unless
cultivated. and yet there are many who
will neglect to give the same care TO n
tree which is worth hundred hills OF
the former. In rich soil. trees may grow
rapidly without cultivation and no a.
mount of grass or weeds will retard
them; but there are other things besides
growth To- be looked after. If the weeds
and grass are allowed TO grow up around
the stems Of apple, peach, or ounce
trees. the bark will become soft near
their base by being shaded, and thereby
be in suitable condition for the rccep-
ton Of the eggs which will eventually
become peach or apple borers. Take a.
ny dozen young apple trees in the Sec
tons where the apple.borer is abundant.
and allow portion 20 be choked With
weeds and the remainder well cultiya-
ted. and then watch the result. From
our own experience. we believe that the
chances arc nine 90 one in favor OF those
