SET TREES RIGHT.
m"ny Orchards Ruined by Hasty and In
c0nsiderate Planting.

""ny orchards Ruined by Hasty and In
considerate Planting.
l have seen SO many orchards ruined
at the very outset by hasty and incon-
siderate planting that l think few
remarks on this subject not at all out
OF place. A lot of trees arrive from
the nursery at a time when all hands
are busy at the crops, putting them
into the ground in the spring. 1t hard
~ seems possible to get away from the
pressing work in the field; but the
farmer knows that the trees must be
set, and that at once, or they are lost.
Yes, he must set them, of course, but he
can't afford to spend much time. The
ground is hastily plowed, just as he
would pillow 1t for any other crop, no
doubt, which will be much too shallow
Tor an orchard. The trees are set in
holes that reach down to the hard
pan. After hurriedly shoveling the
filling OF raw earth in about them he
leaves the work with a sigh of relief,
fondly imagining that he has done his
part toward starting an orchard, and
that nothing more need be done for
the trees during that particular season
at least. In many cases trees so set
might just as well have been left tied
up in bundle at the depot for all the
good the owner will get from them,
Tor the after care, or rather the lack
OF 1t, is apt to be quite on a par with
the setting. Those that do not perish
the first summer will be quite likely
to the next winter, and if by chance a
few of the most hardy should survive
year or two they are quite apt to
succumb to after neglect.
The agent, the nurseryman, the sea-
son and perhaps the country are all
cursed as being responsible for the
non-success of the trees so handled.
While there may be much ground for
complaint on these heads ! am thor.
oughly satisfied that there are more
trees lost through mismanagement and
downright neglect than through all
other causes combined. Have the
ground ready in anticipation of the
arrival of the trees. Then take the
time to set them out as they should be
set. Don't set them in deep holes SC
that the roots rest on the sour subsoi
or hard-pan. They must be in good
rich, mellow feeding ground just as
your corn, beets and other plants are.
If the roots want to dig down they will
do so fast enough afterwards. When
planting, sift in fine earth about the
roots, pour in water to fill all crew
ices, and pack the whole solidly with
the foot after covering. If you live
near nursery, drive to it when your
ground is ready and pick out your owl
trees. There are now so many goot
nurseries scattered all over the coun
try that the farmer can usually d.
this. If it is not practicable, be sur,
at least to have the ground in thorough
readiness when the trees are delivered

NOTES ON FERTILIZlNG.
How to Increase the Amount of Vegetable
Matter in the Soil.

How to Increase the Amount of Vegetable
Matter In the Soil.
The amount of vegetable matter in
( the soil may be increased by various
methods; one is, by large applications
Of barn-yard manure, say 80 cords to
the acre. But this would be very ex-
pensive, and is out of the question in
common farming. 1t may be done by
putting ON peat or muck, when these
are near to the fields. But this in
wolves a considerable outlay for labor
in digging tho peat, and still larger
expense in carting it, whether it first
pass through the yards and stables, be
carted to the fields for composing or
spreading upon the surface to be
plowed in. On some farms this may
be the cheaper method of supplying
vegetable matter to the soil.
But on others the most economical
method is the raising Of clover, to be
fed off upon the land or to turn in. II
ton OF clover may be worth SO as a
fertilizer, the growing Of the plant is a
cheap method of improving the land.
Two tons for the first crop and ton
for the second crop is not an uncom-
mon yield for land in good heart The
roots of clover also add largely to the
vegetable matter in the soil. The
first crop may be pastured. waiting
until the crop is in blossom, and then
turning in cattle enough to feed it off
in three or four weeks. They should
be kept constantly upon the field, that
the whole crop may be returned to the
soil. This will of course help the sec
ond crop, which may be turned in
with the pillow soon after it is in bios
som.
II the equivalent Of three tons OF
dried clover hay and one ton of roots
have been grown to the acre, about
$50 worth of manure has been added
to the soil. and it has been distributed
more evenly than would have been
possible by any mechanical process.
There has been no expense for carting
and spreading peat, or for composing.
On the contrary there has been the
equivalent of two tons Of clover hay
consumed upon the field. worth, as
fodder, $24. This will more than pay
the cost of seed, Of blowing twice and
other labor. This is generally adj
mitted to be the cheapest method OF
increasing the vegetable matter and
the fertility of soils in common farm
ing. And this. it will be seen, re-
quires some little capital.

Four years ago when the repub-
Iiean treasurer Of the United States
turned over the money in his keep
ing to his successor he was found
to be 2 cents short. The coins,
thowever, were afterwards found
on the floor, where they had been
dropped during the count. When
the late democratic treasurer
turned over the funds in his
charge, his accounts were found to
be $35 short. 1t was not dishon
esty, probably, but bad book
keeping; but the incident serves
to- show the difference in transact
ing business under the two ad-
ministrations.
The talk Of giving Grover Cleve-
land the democratic nomination
for the presidency in 1892, brings
out the fact that the democratic
party has never nominated for the
presidency but one defeated can
didate. That was Jackson. De-
feated in 1921, both before the
people and the house of represen-
ta'ives, he was nominated in 1928
and elected. Van Buren,, defeat
ed III 1910, was refused a renomi-
nation in 1914. Cass, defeated
in 1913, was refused a renomina-
