FARM Notes.
orchard and liardl@n.

WEcnAru anu UAFW~ws
In the Fall is the best time to
set out rhubalb plants.
A few we'll known sorts are the
best for commercial orchard.
In buying trees good roots are
the most important item to look
after.
Low headed trees resist the wind
better and the fruit is readily gath
cred.
Better have few trees and give
them good care than many and neg
lect them.
With raspberries it will pay t"
renew the planting at least every
four years.
Sweet potatoes should be dug be-
fore there is hard frost, as they
are easily injured.
Sort all apples carefully before
sending to market Get the best
price for the best fruit.
The ounce does best with short
trunk, the top branching ont few
inches from the ground.
In many cases gardening and
fruit growing combined can readily
be made practical business.
The arbor vitae or Norway spruce
is one of the best varieties of ever,
green's to plant for wind break.
When quality of fruit is desired
the more branches and top you can
make the larger will be the crop Of
fruit.
When garden seeds of any kind
are gathered be sure that they are
thoroughly dried out before storing
away.
After the garden crops are har-
vested pillow up the garden and APP
ply a good dressing of well-rotted
manure.
Now is the time to bud Bud
ding is one of the easiest and hest
ways of propagating choice vari-
cites of fruits.
A twig that can be cut with a
sharp knife now may require the
pruning shears in the Spring and
saw year after.
In setting out strawberry plants
it is essential to spread out the
roots aud see that the soil comes in
close contact with them.
All fruit intended for long keep
ing should be handled carefully, SO
as not to bruise. All speckled or
injured fruit should be thrown out.
The small apples, as we'll as
grapes, that cannot be sold to good
advantage, can be made into win,
egar, and in this way be converted
into a good marketable product.
With late maturing fruits clip
away the leaves or superf1uons
branches that shade the fruit. Sun
shine is needed to ripen it. Prop
up branches that are heavy laden.
One good way of destroying
patches of weeds is to scatter dry
straw over them and then set fire
to the straw. This will usually
kill them out more thoroughly than
cutting them down.
The sooner red and black rasp-
berries, black berries, currants and
gooseberries are set out the better.
Early planting gives better op
portunity to secure good root
growth before Winter.
Cultivation of all young trees
at least for some years after plant
ing is an essential condition Of their
making vigorous growth, but care
must be taken not to cultivate in
the later part of the Fall.
Bartlett pears should be pulled
just when the stem leaves the tree
without too much exertion. Then
wrap each pear in thin paper and
pack in wheat bran, so that they
cannot touch one another.
