II has been found that trees are long
est lived when kept in sod. When the
soil is cultivated the trees, especially in
a rich soil, will often make rank
growth of three or four feet. The
wood will be soft, and, as it generally
fails to ripen, the growth will be killed
during the winter. In clean, open soil,
too, the freezing and thawing Of win.
ter is more injurious than if the ground
is covered with good sod. The best
rule is to consult the appearance OF the
tree, and If the growth is too rank
throw the land INTO grass, and keep 1t
in sod so long as it makes a good
growth.

CANNED CHERRIES. M. p. writes:
have been used to the old ways Of can
ming, and am almost always successful
with them, so am chary OF change. 1t
is very easy to stone cherries with the
stoning machines now to be had almost
everywhere at q small cost, and while
doing a part, have others cooking. l
use half pound of sugar to each pound
of fruit, and make syrup Of pint or
less of water to each pound OF sugar.
Let the syrup boil well and skim it be-
fore adding the fruit. Merely scald
the latter a very short time, not put
ting very much into the kettle at once,
so that by gently stirring 1t every part
can soon come in contact with the
boiling syrup. Then with the fruit
ladle fill the bottles, being careful not
to dip in too much juice. Add more
fruit to the syrup left, and continue
thus until all are cooked. With good
bottles have no trouble in keeping
fruit, but 1t is well to occasionally buy
new rubbers as the old ones lose their
elasticity. and become hard. Many a
bottle of fruit IS lost from neglect In
this particular. These rubber rings
only cost cent piece, or 10 cents
dozen.
1t is necessary to add more sugar to
the syrup as more fruit is added, as the
sugar will become exhausted in time.

WEEDS are only plants out Of their
proper place, and therefore the most
useful forms of vegetation may be 50
situated as to be pests. Several of the
Snowy flower garden plants, when they
escape from cultivation, become trou-
blesome weeds. A rose-bush may be so
much out of its place in cornfeld as
to deserve to be treated as a weed.
There are, however, some kinds OF
plants that should never DE found grow
ing in the soil of any farm or garden.
Such plants are the weeds, strictly So
called, and ones that usually need the
most attention during the season Of
crop-growing.

FARM NOTES.

NEWLY planted trees usually have
struggle for existence this month. 1t
will 30 wise to mulch these before dry
weather begins. The object OF mulch
is to prevent evaporation OF moisture
from the soil, hence litter of any kind,
chip-dirt, or even stones, will answer.
If the surface of the soil of the orchard
can he frequently stirred and kept light,
this will answer the same purpose as
mu,ching. Early varieties OF apples
and pears keep but a short time after
they are gathered. and are readily
bruised. If assorted and properly pack
ed in crates they are often more profit
able than later kinds. The greater the
distance from market, the harder should
peaches be when gathered. The fruit
should still be firm when 1t reaches the
market. If strawberries are In rows,
remove the mulch cut off the runners,
and give dressing OF fine manure or
some good fertilizer; pull up any weeds
that are I'm the rows, and return the
mulch to keep down weeds. Ii the soil
can be kept cultivated the mulch need
not be returned until cold weather.
AS soon as pot-layered plants are well
established set them out; continue to
la, er them. Thinning the fruit to the
extent of one-third or one-half will pay
with choice apples and pears. Blight
attacks without warning; cut away the
branch, OF tree, as the case may be, and
burn. One of the most troublesome In
sects in hot weather is the so-called
red spider of the greenhouses. 1t is es-
pecially bad upon pear trees, causing
the foliage to turn brown. Syringe
with soft soapsuds, stirring little kero-
sene into the soap before adding the wa
ter. Cut out old raspberry canes as
soon as the fruit is off; allow only as
many shoots to grow as are needed Tor
fruiting. Pinch blackberry canes when
6 feet high and their branches when
eighteen inches long. MIldew will at

ther; apply sulphur, using bellows, on

STOCK should be fed variety OF
food. Many flocks and herds have to
subsist almost entirely upon grain food
the entire year, which Is an injudicious
mode of feeding. Vegetables, either
raw or cooked, or mixed with ground
grain, are excellent. but there is moth
ing equaling a liberal supply of grain
morning and night, with plenty OF grass
during the day, and if the pasture Is
supplied with a mixed herbage so much
the better. Variety conduces to health
and promotes thrift.

with which his name is associated will be
grand and enduring monuments to his
