VINES NEAR DWELLINGS.
How to Secure Growth Of Plants Which
Seem without Life.

Seem without Life.
1t is often a difficult task to get vines
started which have been planted near
dwellings,. The plants stand still for
a long time in many cases. 1t is fre-
quently the case that the soil is poor in
such locations. Excavations for the
cellar have been placed there, often of
sand or clay, in which no plant can
thrive. This must be made right by
digging out barrowful or two of this
rubbish and filling in with good soil.
Another, and perhaps greater reason
for this poor growth is that the build
ngs keep away the rain from certain
quarters, causing the soil to become so
dry that nothing can grow IN it. When
this is the trouble it can be remedied
to great extent by procuring vines
of some length of stem, that they may
be planted some distance away from
the wall. Let it be Virginia creeper,
for instance. Get a vine with a stem
two feet or more in length. Plant it
two feet from the wall, opening trench
from it to the wall in which the shoots
ere to be laid and covered over with
earth. This will bring the point of
The vine close to the wall, up which
it will soon run. The roots being two
feet away from the wall will meet with
more moisture than if closer to it, and
the shoots which have been carried
along under ground will make root in
time, pushing along the growth fast.
In this way, with the roots IN good soil,
many a vine has been given good start,
which otherwise would have grown but
little or have died out completely. 1t
is an excellent plan, and one not often
thought Of-Prairie Farmer

SOME ORCHARD EVILS.
How to Protect Young Fruit Trees from
Mice and Rabbits.

How to Protect Young Fruit Trees from
Mice and Rabbits.
The following directions are issued
by the Pardue uni, ersity agricultural
experiment station:
Young fruit trees are very apt to be
injured during the winter by mice and
rabbits gnawing the bark. This is es-
pecially true if the orchard has been
neglected during the summer season.
A heavy growth OF grass or weeds about
the trees makes excellent nests for mice
during the winter, and where rubbish
heaps have been allowed to accumulate
in the orchard, especially if it is near
forest, rabbits will almost invariably
congregate. Under these conditions
the young trees will almost certainly
suffer from the ravages of one or both
of these pests. 1t is important there
fore that this matter be attended to at
once.
There are various remedies recon-
mended for these evils, the first and
most successful of which is clean cul-
tivation. If this has been followed,
then remove all loose mulch, dead grass
and rubbish of various kinds from the
immediate vicinity of the base of the
trees. This will destroy the nesting
places of the mice and will go far to-
ward protecting the trees from injury.
Then, in addition to the above, make
smooth, compact mound of earth, a
foot high, about the base of the trees,
Just before the ground freezes. These
two precautions will be all that is neces-
sary to insure protection against mice.
Rabbits are not so likely to injure
trees where there are other small plants,
such as young grapevines or nursery
stock, in the immediate vicinity of the
orchard, as they seem 20 delight in
cutting off the young and tender
branches in preference to gnawing the
bark of older trees. 1t is always safe,
however, to protect the trees, and a
favorite method is to wrap the trunks
with closely-woven wire screen, such
as is used for screen doors.

There is at present about 11S
miles of irrigatlng canals and main
bitches, not including the Lateral
bitches which will make the total
several times this amount. This
gives ample water to assure crops
for about $4,000 acres. When the
Enterprise canal is finished it will
water several thousand acres of
rich table and bottom land. 1t
has been estimated that a quarter
of million acres of additional land
could be irrigated if storage dams
| were built. This could be done
in several places, notacly at the
narrows about 1S miles from Saf.
ford where box canyon exists
through which the river passes,
1t is from this point the Enterprise
company are building their canal
Graham county covers an area
of 1000 square miles.
The Gila valley is 35 miles from
the narrows to the edge of the res.
ervation, with an average width OF
bottom lands Of two miles, the dis
tance between the foot hills being
six miles. The valley is flanked
on the north by the Gila mountains
and on the south by the Graham
mountains, Mount Graham being
the highest peak, with an altitude
of ten thousand feet above sea level
Although but little prospecting
has been done in either the Gila
or Graham mountains, the few
properties which have been de-
veloped show that the ore body
is practically inexhaustable; while
copper predominates, there is both
gold and silver in paying quantities
1t is q virgin field for both the

The two principal mining com
panies are the Detroit, at Morenci,

and of the Detroit about 10 tons

Concerning Graham County, Which are
Wei Worth Serious Consideration
by those Seeking new Homes, or Men
Seeking Profitable Investment for
Capital.
The agricultural resources of the
Gila valley are both varid and ex-
tensive, comprising an area Of
arabic land of which there is at
present tributary to canals and
bitches, 10000 acres which is
capable of being irrigated. The
principal products are alfalfa, wheat,
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de-
cidious andcertain classes of citrus
fruits.
This is the natural home of
alfalfa, of which from 4 to crops
are grown yearly, yielding from s
to s tons per acre. 1t is not as
stocky as that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-.
ferable for either horses or cattle
Wheat, barley and oats grow
prolifcly, the former containing a
very large amount of nutrition
Yellow dent, white gourd and
other large varieties of corn yield
productivity, vegetables are large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than IN the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and hill lands are
adapted to all of the products o.
the temporal zone, and many o.
the fruits of the semi-tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
of the eastern states. The seed
ling fruits are unexcelled in size
and general excellence. Apricot:
and apples both grow with a sur
prising rapidity. The peaches ir

famous orchards of New Jersey.

the tubers being as large as gooc
sized potatoes. Tests now show

Potash for Orchards.

Muriate of potash may be applied on
apple orchards at the rate of 200 to 300
pounds per acre, preferably in the
spring of the year after the orchards
are plowed and before they are culti-
waited. If it is not proposed to pillow
them this spring, then sow broadcast as
soon as the ground is in condition to
work and cultivate most thoroughly,
even though there may be some grass
with a cutaway harrow off in any way
which will incorporate the potash with
the surface soil. In order to get the
best results the orchard should be kept
cultivated up to about the middle Of
July, when crimson viover at the rate
of ten pounds per acre might be sown
and cultivated in and the ground
rolled.-Country Gentleman.
