BADLY-DRAINED SOIL.
The Effects of Water on Growing Plants
CleverIy Illustrated.

The Effects of Water on Growing Plants
Cleverly Illustrated.
Probably no better illustration can
be given of the effects of water on
growing plants than what we see in
the case of plants growing in pots.
Every pot is provided with hole in
the bottom to allow the water to drain
out when the soil becomes saturated,
and with the exception of water or
bog plants this drainage is necessity.
If we see plant whose foliage turns
yellow or drops of, or which fails to
grow, and whose whole appearance is
unthrifty. we are almost sure to find
the trouble to be at the roots, and not
unfrequently we find the drainage is
clogged and the roots are inactive
Turning the plant out of the pot,
placing some bits OF broken crock at
the bottom and then some coarse ma
terial, the plant is returned to its
place and filled in with fresh soil.
and in a short time it starts into new
growth and shows that it can grow
if the conditions are suitable. With
out healthy roots there can be
no vigorous growth. A supply of
water is necessary for the roots to
take from the soil what they want,
but the water must pass off and not
remain stagnant. or disease and death
will follow. The case is exactly the
same with plants growing in the fields
and where there is an excess of moist
ure below the surface. Pot grown
plants may still further serve to show
a bad effect of surcharge of water
in the soil All plant growers are
very careful in cold weather about
watering their plants at night, know
ing by experience that the increased
evaporation will too greatly reduce
the temperature and thus check and
stunt the plants. The case is the
same in effect over large areas where
the water is held in the soil below the
surface. The temperature is kept
many degrees below what it would be-
if good drainage existed. Vegetation
commences later in the spring. arrives
at maturity later and is coarser in text
ure on such soils. The market garden
er, the fruit grower and the farmer
can not afford to raise crops on any
but well drained lands.-Christian at

1t is stated by an experienced

of wood ashes. well narrowed in, is
the best remedy against ravages of
the onion maggot and cut-worm.
"A very profitable means of utiliz-
ing house-slops and the water used on
wash-day is to put them on the gar
den. Such plants as asparagus and
rhubarb require plenty of moisture to
make a rapid growth, and these fluids
furnish both moisture and plant-food

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.
Practical Suggestions ON . Variety q
Timely Topics.
In q good and wen-cared-for soil,
the ounce will bear literally the
fourth year.
If late weeds start up in the newly
set strawberry bed, pull them out
and keep them from going to seed.
A little pruning is very important
but careless pruning is injurious;
hence good care must be taken.
A good way of protecting peach
trees is to mulch thoroughly as far
out as the branches extend. Use
/ bagasse or old wheat straw.
Better let the stock eat the lower
grades Of fruit than to send to market
and sell at prices usually received.
While cuttings can be planted out
either in the spring or fall, as rule
they should always be prepared in the
fall
A failure to get strong. vigorous
strawberry plants is often the cause of
failure to get good crop of berries.
Flowing in the fall is a good remedy
for cut and grub worms.
In digging the potatoes select the
seed for next year from the hills that
yield the best, and pick out good
medium-sized tubers; store by them
selves.
Clearing up the garden and orchard
in the fall will aid to get rid of insect
pests by destroying their harboring
places. Unless protected large num-
bers of them can not live through the
+: winter.
In pruning cut close. Leaving long
knots or stubs is unsightly and injuri-
Gus, while it is very little if any saw
! ing in work.
If trees or plants are set out while
the soil is dry care must be taken to
J keep the roots moist and to water
regularly until there is q good soaking
rain.
Before investing too largely in fruit
! growing ascertain what varieties your
soil is best adapted to and give them
the preference. The kind of soil as
we'll as the market must always be
considered in fruit culture.
Pruning when the tree is dormant
tends to impart vigor, while pruning
while in leaf or while the plant is
growing checks the growth. Hence
the condition of the tree should be
considered, and a weak, feeble tree
never be pruned while growing.
When it can be prepared otherwise,
it is never a good plan to set out
young trees of any kind in grass
sod. The plants and roots seem to
choke the trees so that good growth
can not be made.
If good quality of fruit is to be
grown care should be taken to give
the trees plenty of room and in plant
ing out the orchard allowance should
always be made for the future growth
of the trees.
Do not seed the orchard down until
the soil has been made rich by the APP
plication of manure. Applying ma
nure on plowed land and then working
we'll into the soil will insure the best
results in building up the fertility.
In the fall is good time to set out
the asparagus plants in a permanent
bed. Make the rows at least two feet
apart in the row; it will always be
found best to give the plants plenty of
room.
The greater the distance from mar
ket, the earlier the pears and peaches
should be picked for shipment 1t is
