CARE OF AN ORCHARD.
How to Keep Up the Fertility OF Fruit
Bearing Trees.

How to Keep Up the Fertility of Fruit
Bearing Trees.
The following method of keeping up
economical way is given by a corre-
spondcnt of the Pittsburgh Stockman:
First, seed down the orchard to clover,
big or little kind; then in July cut the
clover ana spread it under the trees to
rot there. Repeat the operation each
year for three years; then pillow the
ground shallow in the fall or early
spring and SOW it to clover alone-no
grain with it. This sill ordinarily Sc
secure good catch of clover. Then
repeat the operation of moving the
clover and placing it under the trees to
cot. In atidition=to .his. put every two
years under each tree, IN the fall, about
one bdsbe1 of Stacked lime-hard wood
ashes are just as good as time-and
your trees will grow like asparagus
and bear like applesass." 1t is not a
bad plan--if trees are not too large or
close together--to secure a catch crop
the year before you seed down, by
blowing the ground six or eight feet
wide between the rows of trees. Ma
nure it well and plant it in squashes or
umpl<ins; work them well, let them
have free scope, and they will yield n
paying crop. Don't neglect the trim
ming for ten years aud then employ the
tree butcher to cut and slash at will,
but see that they are trimmed what is
needed once q year.

Some kinds of farm manure are

hogs aud poultry, says a writer. Sheep
in winter soon defile the sheds horribly
and the manure is troublesome to load
up and haul off. Hog manure is the
most filthy but of high grade, while
that of poultry is pure guano. If all
this stock IS turned into orchards and
fruit patches at different seasons, the
manure is so evenly spread as not to be
dangerous to trees, from its concen-
trated form. Besides this, both hogs
and poultry will keep down all sorts of

why the Farmer should He Familiar
with tho Needs OF His Soil.
If the farmer thoroughly understood
the needs of the soil, manuring could
be done more economically and to q
much better advantage. In order to
maintain fertility tho application of
materials containing proper elements
are as necessary as in feeding stock to
the best advantages. If more of one
material is supplied than is needed
there is more or less waste that in
many cases could be avoided. Stock
may have plenty of some kinds of food
that contain only certain elements and
yet not make a growth, because other
elements equally necessary are not sup
piled. &
So with growing crops Manurcs or
fertilizers may be applied containing
some of the essential elements of plant
growth and yet the plants will not
make thrifty growth for lack of other
elements equally important knowing
what makes up complete ration to
secure the desired end with stock less
ems the cost and increases the profit,
and in manuring the soil if the needs of
soil and Of the growing crops were
more thoroughly understood much bot
ter results could be secured.
With many farmers the question OF
fertility is becoming an important
study. AS ordinarily managed, even
where stock are kept to consume near
ly or quite all of the farm products, it
is difficult to save and apply ii sufficient
amount of manure to keep up the fer
tility. while if allowed to run down the
situation becomes worse. If Prrchas-
ing commercial fertilizers is to be made
profitable it must be done with n
! knowledge of what the growing crops
| and the soil requires, or elements not
needed will be applied. and in conse-
! qucnce there will TIC more or less waste
In some states arrangements are
: ,.aadc by which farmer can have com
! ,acrcial fertilizers offered for sale ana
lived so that the elements of plant
food they contain can be uscertaincd.
This is IA great help and is an acknowt-
cdgmcnt of the Importance of applying
fertilizers undcrstandingiy.
The nearer the elements needed for
plant growth are supplied in the right
proportion and available form the bet
ter will be the results secured and the
less the cost. But to do this the soil
must bc understood as well as the re-
ouirements of the different plants, and
one of the advantages of science in
farming is secured where this is done.
