The Ohufa Crop.

'There is no doubt" says Professor
Massey, "that the chufa is an excellent
food for growing hogs, and would give
them decided preference over the arti-
choke for that purpose. The plant is
near relative to the dreaded nut grass,
which gives so much trouble to southern
farmers. Nut grass or COCO is cyperus
rotundus var hydra. The chutfa is
cyperus esculentus. Both are members
of the great sedge family. But the
chufa does not seem inclined to become
a pest like the nut grass. Its rootlets
are borne close to the plant and near
the surface, and are easily gotten out,
either by the hogs or harvested by
hand. But l would take with large
allowance the statement in the circular
from the Mississippi party, who says he
makes 400 to 500 bushels per acre.
have known 100 or NOR bushels per acre
in South Carolina, but would say that
even this is large crop, and 1t takes
rich land to make it. Chufas are being
largely grown by the farmers of eastern
North Carolina for hog food. The rich
lands in some parts of Mississippi may
grow somewhere near the crops stated
in the circular, but they cannot be
grown here to that extent. think they
have been advertised lately in the P. F.
by Mr.. T. B. Parker, of Goldsboro, N.
@. I would advise our correspondent to
experiment with them. They will keep
hogs growing and In fine order, but the
fat must be hardened with corn. They
need rich. light land, and are a very ex-
haustive crop on the land"

Potash In the Orchard

All fruit growers know that potash in
large amounts is necessary for bearing
fruit trees. But they are very apt to
delay its application until late in the
spring or sometimes until midsummer,
when the young fruit is fast falling
from the trees for the lack of material
to form it's seeds. Then it is too late
for the potash to doaany good that sea-
son, or there is seldom rain enough after
midsummer to dissolve the potash and
carry it within reach of the tree roots.
The proper time to apply any kind of
fertilizer to an orchard is in the winter.
Then the melted snow and spring rains
carry it's soluble portions into the soil
There is in every direction from Wig
erous tree such a network of roots that
there is no possibility of the fertilizer
being washed away through the soil
without being at some point taken up
and brought into the tree. It is best
not to use much stable manure on
orchards. 1t promotes large wood
growth. but it is also likely to breed
furgous diseases which grow most Wig
erously in the excess of sap in trees that
have too much heterogeneous and too little
mineral fertilizer. The pear especially
needs to be fertilized mainly with min
eraI manures, as these last will not cause
blight, but will tend rather to prevent
it by prom citing healthy foliage

productive one, provided it yields abun-
dant crops? Is it not like spring pig
fattened by Christmas, as compared
with an old patriarch of the woods that
lives for years on little except what he
picks up? 1t may pay better to raise
two thrifty, highly fed orchards in fifty
years than one that is not stimulated to
do it's best in the same length of time.

Root Pruning Discussed.

h0OG frunlng U1ScuSSeu'
Commenting on Mr.. Stringfellows
radical ideas of orchard management in
Farm and Ranch, Prof. HI. E. VanDe-
man says:
It seems like rash and dangerous
doctrine to preach, much less practice
that of trimming off nearly the entire
roots of nursery trees before setting IN
the orchard. But it works wei. so far.
At the meeting of the Western New
York horticultural Society last month
I heard the matter quite fully discussed
and explained, with trees and knife on
the stage. Even that body of staid and
conservative horticulturists gave the
matter more than ordinary attention.
AS to the matter of cultivation aud
other methods of orchard treatment
mentioned by Mr.. Stringfellow, which
he says hastens their decay, think he
is partly right. Deep blowing and cul-
tivation of orchards is certainly destruc-
tive to the roots. Shallow and frequent
stirring of the soil from spring to mid
winter is my doctrine. Seeding to
either red or crimson clover for one or
two years out of five may be beneficial,
but as a rule clean culture IS the cheap
est and most advantageous treatment
for bearing orchards. Seeding to grass
I do not like because it robs the trees of
part of their food and water, and causes
the roots to come so near the surface
that they will be destroyed by the
plow. Glover that stands more than one
season will do the same.
Nature mulches all her trees with
leaves, twigs and rotten wood. This
prevents the escape Of the moisture from
the earth, except through the rightful
channels of the trees. 1t also induces
the roots to creep along and feed very
near the surface of the ground. Ii we
could mulch our orchards thoroughly
and as long as they live, we would have
them succeed. But this is impractica-
BILE, and if begun would need to be con-
tinued, for blowing would destroy large
portion of the roots.
A friend in New Jersey is trying a
modification of this plan by allowing
crimson Clover to seed itself year after
year liz large Keiffer pear orchard, ana
the whole of the tops to rot on the
ground. He applied potash in the form
Of muriate, and phosphoric acid IN bone
dust, literally, and for the past few
years he has been trying this plan OF no
blowing and plenty of chemical manures
and clover tops on the surface, and has
succeeded well. What future years
may prove Is doubtful. Suppose a tree
does mature early and dies before less
