CARE AND CULTIVATION.
Ii the settlers follows the directions
as to setting, given in the last article
of this series, he will certainly lose
no trees from drought and it the
trees have received proper attention,
in being taken up and in hauling, he
will in all probability lose none from
any natural cause. But if the trees
are set during the summer months
and many prefer setting in the months
of June and August-they should be
well shaded by standing black: jack
bushes around the trees, setting the
lower end firmly in the ground, and
bending the top OF the bushes to-
gether SO As to completely shade the
headless body OF the young tree-for
trees should never be set without be-
ing headed back very short. When
the tops are cut off preparatory TO
setting, the cut should be coated
with grating wax, or if that is not
at hand with fresh pine gum, and if a
little "dab" OF sand is put on top of
each one, the pitch will be much less
apt to run. This treatment will, in
many cases, protect the tree from the

where it ls possible to avoid it. After
the first blowing is completed the-
grove is ready for its first dressing of
fertilizer. This is a still more vexed
question than that of cultivation. l
have tried many preparations, some
of which were commercial fertilizers
specially formulated for the orange
tree, two of these preparations APP
peared to answer the purpose very

considered they were cheaper than
muck compost but | also think COM
post better because more lasting. A
very good compost may be made as
follows: Seasoned muck - three
months to one year old-one cord
fresh lime, one barrel; salt one
bushel; lay bottom course OF muck
six inches to foot thick, over which
spread a good coat OF lime; have the
salt dissolved in cask, after applying
the lime, apply the salt evenly with a
fountain pump, about in proportion
to the layer of mnck and lime; now
put OH another and thinner coat of
muck and then lime and salt as be-
fore, until your compost heapis com.
plete. The addition Of about fifteen
bushels OF cotton seed to each cord
of muck will improve it vastly, and
in case of this addition it should be
mixed with the muck first, or it may
be put into the compost heap in al
ternate layers with the lime; COM
posting works better when several
cords are prepared at once. The
compost heap should be prepared at
least three months before using, and
be turned over once or more. 1t

better to spread it evenly on the

going to use bone meal, crude potash

or Stockbridges specials, or super
phosphate, then you had better plow
first; then SOW your fertilizer, very
carefully calculating the quantity
and then harrow in with a smoothing

never be put in an orange grove un-
less in the hands of a very trusty
careful workman.
&-.ls formula was given me by my
friend, DIR. HI. III. Gillen, of Berestord,
Fla: l know it is the practice of
many, as it has been mine, to fertilize
in circle around the tree, but have
given up that practice after fair
trial, its tendency being to grow an
immense mass of roots round the tree
where the fertilizer has been applied
and to send but a scant supply of
roots out beyond, consequently l
think it better to broadcast every
thing in the shape of fertilizers and
let the tree forage tor it.
After your narrowing in Is com.
pleted, if your grove is young one,
you are ready to plant peas. 1 have
tried both conch and COW peas OF
differentwkinds, and prefer what are
called clay peas, although conch peas
are better but are very troublesome
to handle. Lay off the ground three
feet apart, or if you have a drill, drill
three to three and a halt apart; the
peas should be dropped rather thick
ly, to insure good stand and if too
thick may be thined afterwards.
Peas should be planted when the
ground is wet and covered lightly.
If we are going to mulch now is the
time to do it before the peas are up;
if not as soon as they are well up,
turn in with your sweep or better still
good 1atioot cultivator, and keep
them clean. 10 dc this it viii be

during Le.@.sarly part On ..le season,
the pronged hoe should be used IN
sparingly. Ifmulching is used it will
be much more difficult to plow the
grove, as the plow must be carried
over the mulch around each tree.
Should grass grow in the pea rows
it should be promptly removed with
the hoe or even with the fingers, for
none should be allowed under any
circumstances. When the peas have
attained their full gro with, about the
time they bloom, they should be cut
and the mulching drawn aside from
the trees now spread the vines
evenly round the trees in broad
belt; hoe light coat of earth on
them and return the mulch. Now
we have a good chance to put the
grove In first,class shape as to clean.
Illness; go we will take a sweep for
our cultivator would be unhandy
among those beds of pea vines, and
work the grove thoroughly before the
pea stubDles get on the second
growth. We must keep up this
work constantly until September lst,
or thereabouts, the grove should be
at that time covered with fine
growth OF cow peas, for the second
crop; it should then be "laid bye"
and allowed to mature its new wood
before cold sets in, or what is here
called cold. We are now done cul-
tivating for the year. but we have
been very busy if we have done our
work well, for besides the work
mentioned, we have kept watch OF
scale insects, and have given every
tree large or small a good scrubbing
with whale oil soap, and the ones at.
fected with insects have had many
applications. We have looked sharply
after the wood louise and if we have
a newly budded grove, as We mostly
have nova days, we have been kept
in constant triDulation, tor with this
treatment the rapidly growing buds
are short as pie crust;" we must
look sharply to strings and stakes, or
every breeze will snap them for us.
Now if our good friend from
Louisville can send us some OF those
Kentuckians that would be glad"
to do all this for SO per acre, can
assure him that | for one will be
