for market are aware of the profit that
is made on even a small piece of land,
and when the vegetables are sold at low
prices. From seven rows across this
field, which was about twenty-five rods
long, | sold $40 worth of Golden Wax
beans last season." was the remark a
gardener made to us this spring. He
was already heavily manuring the same
land and preparing to put in a larger
strip the present year. Where beans
are sold green they will bear as heavy
manuring as almost any crop. On poor
land they would not pay the labor of
growing and marketing them. 1t is
commonly supposed by farmers that
field beans will grow on the poorest,
thinnest soil; but who ever saw pay
ing bean crop even with field culture on
poor land?

nature promises to do her part may re-
suit in mishief These neglected trees
are probably badly overgroWn with
sprouts that should have been pruned
one, two or even three years ago. If Sc
verely prrned now these trees may be
stimulated into growing great quantity
of new wood, the surplus of sap directed
into few buds, causing the fruit to drop,
and pOStpCning the year of fruitfulness
one or two seasons longer A neglected
apple tree should only be slightly pruned
IN winter. IF more pruning be needed,
postpone it until June or July, after the
leaves are out and the fruit is well set
Fruits of the same nominal kind often
differ much in quality. 1t has been
supposed by some within q few years
that as most fruits are now grated or
budded, thus variations in quality may
depend on the original stock. But it is
certain that SO much depends on soil,
access to sunshine, and other conditions,
that little room remains for other
factors. Manuring heavily with stable
manures Injuries fruit quality. These
are mainly heterogeneous, and they cause
an excess Of sap that the leaves
cannot wholly assimilate. Excessive
manurlng with some mineral that
injuries the roots may also cause injury
to or entire destruction of the leaf, in
which case the fruit is worthless. A
barrel OF brine carelessly emptied near
plum tree III midsummer carried
such excess of salt to the leaves that
they all fell of, while the half-grown
plums remained on the tree but never
increased in size, and when bitten into
gave distinct salty taste in addition to
that natural to green plums
