THE FARMING WORLD,
STARTING AN ORCHARD.
The Work of Preparation and the Proper
Planting of Trees.

The Work OF Preparation and the Proper
Planting of Trees.
The ground for nm orchard should be
well and deeply cultivated, and free o
weeds, well drained, II the soil requires
II, and most soils are better for drain
ing except sandy or light gravelly soils
with a light subsoil. Such land may not
require draining, but in every case II
should be well worked and pulvcrized
and enriched before planting. The
work of preparation must he done u
ing the summer, so as to be ready for
fall or spring planting. Planting in the
spring Is preferred, which will enable
the trees TO take firm hold of the earth
and to resist the frost of next winter.
but planting may be done successfully
in the autumn by protecting the trees
so as to prevent the frost from heaving
or misplacing them.
Select young, healthy and vigorous
trees, and from n reliable nurseryman,
and II possible from a soil similar to
that in which you intend to plant your
orchard. The different kinds of apples
will depend upon your choice and
the suitability of soil and climate. !
should advise hat the selection be made
from the old, tried and reliable kinds.
The distance apart should not be less
than 30 feet, so MS to allow the trees
room to spread their branches and 10
form n low and spreading head. Close
planting has n tendency to force the
trees to run up and preventing the
fruit from obtaining its proper color
ing from the sun, and making II more
difficult to gather the fruit. At the dis
lance of 30 feet apart IL will require
20 trees to the acre. Before planting
the tree, remove all bruised and broken
roots by cutting clean with n sharp
knife. Lay out your ground in straight
lines, SO hat your trees will be in line
each way and Mt equal distances, 80 feet

Anent the recent progress in the mat

thinks hat the time may soon come
when winter apples may not be u neces-
sity, us fall apples can be kept in per-
feet condition until the next summer.
This is entirely practicable, but as win
ter apples are quite as easily grown AS
ummer or autumn apples, there seems
no need of dispensing with either. At
the Columbian exposition in the New
York fruit exhibit there were shown
at the opening of the exposition and for
some weeks after perfect specimens of
the Sweet Bough, Sour Bough, Fall Pip
pin, Round Sweet and others, and they
kept as long after being removed frcm
the cold storage rs they would have
kept in the summer or fall without hPv-
ing been thus stored. In other words,
contrary to the generally accepted idea,
the cold storage in no way impaired
their keeping qualities. 1t would GER

Vow to Grow Reliable Trees.

Stiles Wilson, the well-known nursery
man and tree planter of Iowa, says:
Root grating, in my opinion, is the
only way n reliable tree can be grown.

more than two or two and a half inches

In pruning all kinds of trees II is well
to remember that diseased wood will
