1t has been found that trees ore
longest lived when kept in sod. When
the soil is cultivated the trees, espe.
cially in a rich soil, will often make a
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
winter is more injurious than i the
ground is covered with a good sod
The best rule is to consult the appear
ance of the tree, and if the growth s
too rank throw the land into grass,
and keep it in sod as long as it makes .
good growth. h.-CleUelaad Leader. ,,s4,
