The following, from al essay BIZ Prof.
BeaI, Of the Michigan Agricultural Col
lege, are valuable suggestions for apple
growers everywhere:
A young tree must be treated very
much a. you would treated bill of corn.
Heed crops will answer in young or
chard s0wed crops will do much harm
10 young trees. think IL a good plan to
keep young trees mnIched, and am not
sure but il il best of all ways to treat
large or old trees as long as they live.
Mulch prevents the rapid evaporation of
moisture from the soil, keeps the surface
mellow. prevents the coil from freezing
and thawing in winter, and becoming
overheated in summer. Whether or not
to cultivate trees which have become we'll
established depends upon circumstances.
| have never seen an apple orchard which
/ thought was injured by too frequent
shallow culture, but this may be the case
In some places, especially in warm eli
mates, or where the soil is deep and very
rich. Whether to cultivate or not Can
be told by the looks of the trees. Now
if the color of the leaves is good and tie
growth all right, and the trees bear well
Of fine fruit, they are doing well enough
even in grass. But if the leaves are
pale, the growth of the annual twigs
much less than foot in length on trees
set twelve years. end the fruit small and
poor; something is the matter, and they
are suffering for want of pillow, harrow
or cultivator, or heavy mulch or coat
of manure, or two or more of these com
bined. The upper twigs of twelve years
ought to grow six to twelve inches next
year. To judge of the condition of an
apple tree is much like judging of the
condition of sheep in pasture. Look at
the sheep and not at the pasture. As long
as the sheep are plump and fat they are
all right.

When first Fhe robe of green
EnfoIds It's crimson lining;
And round his cottage porch il seen
Tie honeysuckle climbing;
When banks Of bloom their sweetness yiclt
To bees that gather honey,
He drives his team across the field,
When skies are soft and sunny.
The black bird cllcks behind the plows.
The quail pipes loud and clearly,
Yon orchard hides behind its bOughs
The home he loves so dearly;
The gray and old barn doors unfold
His pie store in measure,
More rich than stores of boarded gold,
A blessed. precious treasure;
While yonder in the porch there stands
His wife, the lovely charmer.
The sweetest rose on all his lands
The independent farmer.
TO him the spring comes dancingiy,
To him the summer bushes,
The autumn smiles with yellow ray,
His sleep old winter bushes
He cares not how the world may move,
No doubts or fears confound him,
His little flock is linked IN love,
And household angels round him;
He trusts to God and loves his wife,
Nor grief or i'll may harm her,
He's natures nebleman in life

Stock farming pays better than any
other kind of farming. In addition, it
keeps up the fertility of the soil, while
crop raising exhausts the fertility of the
soil; and if persisted in long, it viii ruin
it, unless expensive fertilizers are used.
Then there is far less hired labor requir-
ed in stock farming, than in grain farm
ing, and all farmers know that good,
faithful, skiIlful hired men are hard to be
found The less hired men employed,
the.easier, pleasanter time the wives and
daughters of farmers have. Improved
farming goes hand in hand with improv-
ing them. More or less stock, and of
the choicest breeds, should be kept on
every farm, and the sons and daughters
Of farmers should take an interest Ia it.
They will care but little for scrubs-but
get the improved breeds and see the in
terest they manifest in them Fine
stock will cultivate an interest and de-
votion II every member Of the family
for j higher and better system Of farm
ing.
