Feed Your Orchards.

IL the Dest quality OF fruit is TO
be secured, and it is only the best
quality that pays the best profit,
it is very necessary to keep the
soil at least reasonably rich.
While in many cases it may be
sufficiently rich when the trees
are first planted, yet the growing
of several crops while the trees
were making their growing, with
the growth of grass that usually
follows and the crop of fruit that
have been grown after the trees
commenced bearing, must, to a
considerable extent, have decreas-
ed the available fertility. 1t
should be understood that. the
growing of trees and maturing or
good crop of fruit draws nearly,
or quite, as heavily upon the avail
able plantfood in the soil as that
of any other crop, and it is, there
fore, just as necessary to apply ma
nure to the orchard, if the fertility
of the soil is to be maintained, as
to the soil in which the field crops
are grown.
In nearly all cases the best way
of applying manure is to have the
ground well plowed and then scat
ter the manure broadcast as even
ly as possible; then working into
the soil with the harrow or cult
vator. But, with the orchard, as
with the meadows, it is not always
desirable, or best to pillow up; and
then good plan is to use only
well-rotted manure, and make it
fine and scatter evenly over the
surface. Ashes is good fertili-
ger to use in the orchard, but the
manure and ashes should not be
applied together, or there will be
more or less loss of ammonia.
When the quantity of manure is
insufficient to SOW broadcast over
the whole surface, considerable
benefit may be derived by scatter
ing under the tree as far out as
the leaves or branches extend. 1t
is not a good plan to pile it up
around the trunk of the trees.
Whatever material is used will
be best scattered broadcast over
the soil under the trees first, and
over the whole surface when the
quanGIty OF mdnuIo - sSt-44S-'---s-
The roots extend out a considera-
BILE distance, and the trees will be
able to derive larger amount of
benefit if the manure is scattered
broadcast. With young trees the
manure should not be allowed to
come in contact with the roots. In
manuring trees when setting them
out, the manure should be worked
into the soil thoroughly before
filling in around the roots. One
of the poorest plans of applying
manure to young trees is to throw
the manure in the bottom Of the
place prepared for the tree and
then set in the tree and fill in with
soil. So far as possible the ma
nure should always be thoroughly
incorporated with the sOil.-N. j

The extra session of the congress
question has become an aged chest
nut. One day it is given out that
it will be held and the next that it
will not be. According to the
latest speculations no extra ses-
sion will be held. Several inter-
esting campaigns will be in prog
ress this fall, which will require
all the attention of some of the re-
publican congressman in looking
after their fences, and as the re-
publican majority is small they
cannot be spared.

Those who DO not believe in re-
ligion are fond of talking about
religious cranks," but there is no
crank worse than the infdel crank.
These fellows take it for granted
that every religious person is
either hypocrite or an idiot,
One of this class ofinfdel lunatics
was in the recent constitutional
convention in Idaho. He was the
only one who refused to sign the
new constitution. and his reason
for refusing was that the docu-
ment contained the name of God.
The fellows name is Pelfey, and
that he is full-hedged crank is
shown by the fact that he de-
clined to draw his pay for his val
uable service in the convention.
