CULTURE OF PLuMs.
A one-Aere Orchard Returns q Really
Large Profit


Probably no fruit Is so sure OF a
good market as first-class plums and
they have sold this season for from 81
TO "a per bushel. This shows that
there is money in plum growing, says
the American Cultivator. But the
grower must understand how 10 raise
the strictly first-class fruits. Black
knot must be controlled by cutting IL
out as soon as IL appears, and the trees
must be given culture, and not simply
planted and then neglected.
II may be that plums are not more
generally raised because OF the diff
culties attending the raising OF these
fruits. In many parts OF the country
IL seems almost impossible 20 raise
good ones, but where they do well
under neglect they are certainly sus-
ceptible OF great Improvement A
good plum tee OF the Lombard type
ought to produce from two TO four
bushels OF choice fruits, and this means
that each tree would yield an annual
income OF from s. TO SIS. Plum trees
are generally small, and great many
can be grown on one acre, so that the
profit from an orchard Of this size is
really large.
A good method OF starting a plum
orchard is TO use the place for chick
en- range. The work OF attending 20
one would not interfere with the
other. There would be mutual adj
vantage and double profit. The trees
should be set in holes literally sup
piled with bones, either whole or
ground, and the most salable varieties
are the Lombard, Niagara and Dam
son, although other good plums could
be selected from the Imperial Gage,
Purple Egg, Green. Gage and Yellow
Egg. After the trees are planted far
enough apart SO that sunlight can be
admitted TO each one freely, the chick
ems can be turned on the range. The
trees situated between ten and twelve
feet apart will afford the shade the
chickens need.
The ground should be plowed and
borrowed or otherwise turned over
once or twice a year, and oats. wheat
or grass sown In IT, The chickens, Of
course, will pick most OF these seeds
up, and scratch for them. But all

fetal 70 the trees The chickens will
also pick of worms and insects from
the trees and keep them free from all

the hens enriches the soil with the
very best fertilizer.
The trees then only need the further
attention OF thinning out fruit little
and the pruning in the fall. Two
thirds OF the seasons wood growth
should be cut back after the leaves
have fallen each fall. Black knot
should be cut out and burned rs soon as
IL shows itself A fine orchard OF fruit
