Rye is usually sown on the poorest
land, given the least care and the least
manure of any crop on the farm. This
is at least true in sections where wheat
is grown, as the wheat is considered
most valuable. No wonder that with
such treatment rye should have tad
reputation and be called the poor
farmers crop. But with good treat
ment, rye will respond as favorab!y as
any other grain. Some who have ma
nured rye very heavily for ensilage,
and allowed the portion not eaten to
ripen its seed. have found surprising
results. One such farmer last year
grew thirty-eight bushels per acre.
Notwithstanding the heavy manuring,
the rye stood up till harvest, while

pfuned. the young shoots thst sprang
up would produce much finer kind OF
cinnamon. This is the method en-
ployed at the present time.
At last, however, in 1915, the Dutch
were forced to yield the island of Cey-
lon to the English and. soon afterward,
the trade in cinnamon was thrown
open TO the world.
In the present day the cinnamon
gardens cover about twelve thousand
acres around Colombo not quite SO
large portion Of the country rs was
used in this way in the days of the old
Dutch traders, but still enough to pro-
duce great quantities of cinnamon. In
some places an acre of ground will
produce five hundred pounds of this
spice.
The tree has a greenish sort of flower
which gives forth an unpleasant odor.
The fruit of the cinnamon looks like an
acorn. 1t is Of brown color and from
it the people of Ceylon formerly made
candles for the exclusive use of their
king. The fruit Yields a kind of oil
that is used in the making of incense,
and gives out very pleasant odor
|
cinnamon tree, however, is the most
valuable portion. and this IS prepared
by the 'peelers,' as they are called, a
class of men who. through long prsc-
tice, have become very skillful in their
rade.
Twice year, after the rains are over,
in May and November, these ''peelers'
gather the cinnamon harvest. They
cut down those branches that have had
a growth of from three to five years
and that are about three feet long, and
scrape away the white outer bark which
is almost tasteless. The inner bark is
then split longitudinally, and taken
oil. The pieces are then dried in the
sun where they curl up into quills.
The smaller of these are then put in
side the larger until bundles are formed
three or four feet in length.
Cinnamon is sorted by persons who
taste it for that purpose. These peo-
pie, however, are apt to suffer bad ef-
fects from this pract ce. the cinnamon
soon making their mouths very pain
full. The b.st cinnamon is very thin,
almost like paper, and of light yellow
color. The leaves of the cinnamon
fssee taste like cloves and yield a kind OF
oil that is prepared in teylon. 1t is
afterward sold under the name Of
.'clove oil" Two k nds of oil are also
made on the same island by grinding
coarse pieces of bark and soaking then
in sea water. Upon distillation two
oils pass over, one heavier and ont
lighter than water. Almost the entire
product of the cinnamon harvest q

Pruning Orchard Trees.

There are numerous opinions about
pruning trees, and each one offering
them believes himself right IN the
matter. Some prune in cold weather,
some do lot; some prune little. others
much; some follow one method, others
another, until the mind of the novice
or amateur in fruit growing is quite at
loss to know what to do and when TO
do it, The theory is held that wounds
made on trees will not heal during cold
weather, hence trees should not then be
pruned; but practical orchardists gen.
eral y heed theories but little and prune
'.when the knife is sharp" During
the mild weather Of late winter and
early spring is a good time for tn 8
business, and, coming at the season of
the year when there is but little to do
on the farm, the farmer improves this
opportunity.
In the first place, prune intelIigently.
Let no raw hand, no SHRED man. UNI
less he be an exceptional one, prund
trees which are at all valuable. He
will do better to stay away. Young
trees should be trimmed with view Of
diverting the sap from the terminal
branches to the weaker side-buds, in
order to induce more stocky growth,
. well-proport oned, symmetrical form.
The main stem of the young tree is
cut of at height of from foul to SIX
feet from the ground, as may be de-
sired. and. just at the point of cutting,
three equally diverging buds are
allowed to grow; and only these. The
next year these three shoots should be
cut back about one-half, and two buds
be left st the terminus of each branch
or twig, which diverge sidewise. thus,
gradually, the young trees may lie
made to take well-proportioned .orm,
and resu in graceful, and what il
better, fruitful ones.
Old trees, untrimmed and left to a
wild scraggy growth, are pretty sure
| evidence of carelessness and unthrifti-
ness on the part of their owners. The
condition of the orchard is pretty
sure index of the condition of other
things on the farm and of the methods
of farming In general. Trim out all
| the dead branches first, and the scraggy
growth within the tree; but it will mot
do to cut out all the crooked-growing
branches the first year. Let this be
done gradually, removing, each year
those which crowd and grow ill-shaped.
until the desired shape is attained.
We visited an orchard last fall which
| illustrated the perfection of trimming
or pruning. There Were fifty fine Bald,
win trees, heavily laden with choice
fruit, and last year this was . rarity.
Standing beneath . tree. near the body,
scarcely any fruit was ,isible; but STEP
