Feed the Fruit Trees.

When enrlching the soil so as to pro-
cure good crop of corn and potatoes, do
not forget to apply liberal dressing to
the too often neglected orchard. Rota-
tion of crops cannot be followed with
fruit trees, hence the greater necessity
of systematically restoring to the soil, so
far as may be done, those elements con-
sumed In the production of n crop of
fruit. After an orchard comes into bear
ing It Is commonly considered able thence
forth to take care of itself, the owner sell
dom failing to expect fair returns, and
the orchard seldom falling to dsappoint.
The reason is obvious: the trees are
slowly starved, and the fruit becomes
scraggy or small In quantity. Alternate
bearing years are the results of this
treatment, as is shown by the abundant
crops that may be obtained every year
by thorough cultivation, provided frost
does not interfere. The barren year is
natures method of aiding the tree to col
lect from rain and atmosphere material
for productive year. 1t is just as rea-
sonable to expect that good crop of corn
can be taken annually for II series of
years from field to which nothing has
been restored as to expect fruit to main
tain its excellency on soil that is con-
stantly growing thinner and poorer In
needed material.
