A. J. Keller, Crawford county. O..
writes 20 the National Stockman;
Please inform me through the columns
of your valuable paper how 20 raise
plum and peach trees from the pits;
how 20 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 70 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-
manentIy. 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 10 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.
somewhat tedious process.
In planting the seeds, In either case
they should be pretty thick in the rows,
as they VIII not all grow. The rows
may be about four feet apart, and with
cultivation every ten days or so during
the growing season they will 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
a certain sort are specially desired by
way of expcrlment--will be as stocks
on which to bud the choice varieties.
When the budding has been success
full the buds treated according to in
structions win 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.

A garden cannot be had without
extra effort. Cover IL with manure
this fall and work the manure into the
soil. No value can be placed ON gar
den because IL provides something
which money cannot always secure
fresh fruits and vegetables for the
family. No doubt, one can buy all the
small fruits and vegetables required,
but they cannot be had in the fresh
condition as when they are transferred
from the garden TO the table In few
minutes. Prepare for the garden by
the use Of plenty OF manure now, so as
