SOME VALUABLE HINTS.
How to Raise Peach and Plum Trees
from the Pits.

How to Raise Peach and Plum Trees
from the Pits.
A. j. Keller, Crawford county, o..
writes to the National Stockman:
Please inform me through the columns
of your valuable paper how to raise
plum and peach trees from the pits;
how to treat the pits and when to plant
them; and when to transplant the trees,
and how to treat them to make them
bear fruit.
Reply: The pits do better not to dry
out. As soon as possible after they
are taken from the fruit they should
be put In damp earth or sand and kept
moderately damp-not water-soaked
until planted. They are less trouble
when planted in the fall as soon as the
ground can be got ready. Covered with
about two inches of soil, the exposure
to the frost will crack the shells and
the kernels will be ready to grow with
the approach Of spring.
II not convenient to plant in the fall,
they can be kept covered with few
inches of soil in a corner of the gar
den where water will not stand per-
manently. But they must be looked
after very early in spring in order to
pick out the ones that have opened and
plant them.
This tendency to start early before
the ground is ready to receive them
has induced some to bury them below
the action of frost-two or two and a
half feet-and when ready for them in
spring, take them up and crack by hand,
a somewhat tedious process.
In planting the seeds, in either case
they should be pretty thick in the rows,
as they Will not all grow. The rows
may be about four feet apart, and with
cultivation every ten days or so during
the growing season they viii make nice
trees by fall.
1t will be understood, of course, that
all these will vary more or less from
the present varieties, and that their
sole value-except where seedlings of
certain sort are specially desired by
way Of experimant-willb be 81 stocks
on which to bud the choice varieties
When the budding has been success
full the buds treated according to in
structions will have grown to be four
or more feet high by the end of the sec
ond summer and may be set out in the
orchard. But peach, plum and cherry
do better transplanted in the spring.
AS to the bearing, much depends on
the varieties, some being more certain
than others; and all must take the
chances of unfavorable seasons.

Can't Afford Poor Mixers.

Every cow of a dairy herd should be
examined through a Babcock tester
The milk should be weighed and tested
SO that the Improbable COW should be
known and weeded out from the herd.
Farmers can't afford to keep cows for
dairy purposes which do not yield
quantities of butter or cheese pretty
well up to standard record. Both Ia
Dor and feed must be wasted If the
COWS which give less than average
quantity of butter fat or casein are not
turned over to the butcher.

added with profit to those houses
which are fitted for the growing of
frame cucumbers or tomatoes. Grow
ers for profit, however, will do well to
go slowly. The great difficulty in
making melons profitable is the usual
~ very light yield, plant producing
only two or three melons. Unless the
price obtained is very high one such a
yield does not pay. Much depends
also on the season. To mature melons
we need sunshine, and this is often a
scarce article during the earlier part of
the winter. Last year, during October,
November and December, we had plenty
of it.
The melon vines are usually trained
on wires. The melons have to be sup
ported in some way. Prof. Bailey's
way is shown in the accompanying pic
ture.
The gardener at the station in Geneva
supports his melons on little pieces of
thin board, about five by six inches,
which are hung up on the cross wires
by strings. The latter plan is perhaps
