All young pigs in the orchard should
be left unringed and free to root the
soil as much as they like. Ringing
older hogs is sometimes necessary, as
in dry time old sows will get in the
habit, if unringed, of gnawing at tho
bark of the trees and thus destroying
them. An old hog also in roofing will
make deep hog wallows in the soil, de-
stroying same apple roots and making
the surface very uneven. 1t is proba-
bly, from eating apple tree roots In the
soil that the older hogs get their liking
for apple tree bark and learn to attach,
the trunk above the ground. When
they get this habit it is impossible to
entirely break them of it. However
well fed they may be, they like a feed OF
apple tree bark for change.-Rural

We wish to have our garden look nice,
as well as produce large and useful
crops. In recent years wehave made it
II practice to finish off every piece which
we plant with such crops, sweet and
other corn included, with the smooth
ing harrow. This leaves the land IN the
very best shape for planting. AS we
plant patches for successional crops
from time to time right along, we have
occasion to use the harrow now and
then during the entire season. Some
times we pillow the strips as we want to
plant them. Sometimes we only stir
the surface with the cultivator, and
then finish off with ordinary harrow.

harrow is rather expensive. 1t costs

ment is likely to do away with one of
the pleasantest features of the social
life of farmers. At first thought this
seems doubly lamentable, inasmuch as
the social life of rural communities is
already notably restricted and barren.
The happy feature referred to as like
ly to be eliminated by the movement to
secure better highways and better
methods of getting them, is the annual
summer visiting bee enjoyed by the
male members of rural communities
who get together presumably for the
purpose of working" the roads. This
presumption, however, is wrong, in
most cases, as the real purpose of such
gatherings is for the farmers to ex-
change views on political and neighbor-
hood topics, tell stories, swap tobacco,
and do whatever else will contribute to
the restful enjoyment of those assem-
bled.
At these meetings the rival village
wits contest with each other, with what
they term mind against mind, for the
plaudits of their hearers. The great
governmental questions are discussed
and argued at great length. The boys
indulge in jumping and wrestling
matches, while the maturer members
Of the gatherings are content to whittle
and look on.
In the meantime the work of making
good road languishes the while. The
highway is left in a half-finished state
to wait for repetition of the same poor
policy the following year. 1t is true
that now and then u pathmaster is
found who believes that an honest days

This Delicious Fruit Does Not Receive tho

Its planting is often limited to but a
few trees on home premises, and be-
, cause OF limited amount of fruit birds
are most damaging to it. Its early
bloom and fruit are subject to destruc-
ton on level lands, low lands, hot, shell
tered localities that release frosts quick
~ when they drop untimely and late.
The cherry does not do well on wet
lands, and thorough drainage is an alb
solute necessity. This is best attained
II the fruit is grown on high, rolling
lands, ridges, bluffs, and in such local
tiles where the grape thrives. If so
planted it will be fairly sure cropper,

some attention, and no knife used on
stem, but the leading shoots should be
pinched back, and heading-in practiced
on the trees. The cherry has the un-
fortunate habit of the PEACH making
principally terminal growth, and by
extension pushing the entire tree out
into few long, bare limbs with few
scattering branches on them that die
from want of nourishment because the
sap flow is not checked. This can
be largely obviated and the bearing
surface or area can be largely increased
| by heading in and making dense head
around the central stem. Such caution
may not be necessary east and south,
hut 1t is necessary in the west to at
tain success because of our natural dry
air and arid conditions, since the glar-
ing of the hot sun that continues at

are empty and the fruit has good
