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.wi; h
such treatment rye should have tad
reputation and be called the posr
farmers crop. But with good treat
ment rye will respond rs fsvorabsy as
any other grain. So1,e-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.

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
anothersyntlthe mind of the NOVICE
or ahatear in fruis growing is quite at
loss 70 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 orthafdists gem
eraly 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 .
business, and. coming at the season of
the year when there is but little to do
on the farm, the farmer improves this
opportunity.

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,

The main stem Of the young tree il
cut off 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
