Little Falls as to the cost for electric
power for a line Of railroad from this

very common and are profitable
where power can be obtained cheap

GOOD USE FOR WEEDS.
When Properly Cared ForThey Make
Good Fertilizer.

When Properly Cared ForThey Make
Good Fertilizer.
Summer heat, when it comes, starts
a numerous and enterprising crop of
weeds into active life. These may be
easily controlled by the frequent use of
the iron rake, which stiles them at
birth. But If, through inattention,
they get the start of the gardener and
need to be reduced by the hoe, they
should be attacked vigorously at the
first chance and not allowed to perfect
and drop their seed into the soil. Pull
up and shake the larger ones when not
SO near as to endanger valuable plants
thereby, and hoe up all others, not
merely scraping the ground over, but
raking it up and pulverizing it while
roofing out the weeds. These may
then, while still green and succulent, be
raked together and put into the COM
post heap, where they will be obliged to
return to the gardener all that they
have purloined from his soil. This
compost heap may, by little care, be
made quite an important factor in the
fertility of the garden. Not only all
weeds, but, as crops mature, all the
garden refuse not used for mulching
other plants, may be put into it, wet
thoroughly and covered with little
earth and thus rotted down and re-
tained for use as so much homemade
fertilizer. 1t should be established in
some out-of-the-way corner; hole
dug few feet deep to accommodate it
will be found convenient and the con-
tents drenched with hose from time to
time to promote decomposition, after
which few shovelfuls of earth will de-
lay evaporation and help retain the
gases. When used the addition of wood
ashes and bone dust, of course, makes
it by so much the ericher.-Boston Tran

Dwarf PEAR HEDGE.

complete the outside row. AS this will
interfere very little with the planting
of fruit trees over the whole interior
surface of the two acres, it will be seen
that on given amount of ground one
can raise much more fruit 10y using
this outside hedgerow method. 1t is
possible to crowd the little trees in a
hedgerow, because they will be on the
outside, and can thus have plenty of air
and sunshine, though very close in the
row; and though the row of dwarf pear
trees may be quite close to the inside,
larger fruit trees, the latter are not
crowded by the former, since they stand
up above them. This sort of work is
not advisable on large commercial or
chards, but on the home acre in the vii
lage lot, one wishes to make the most
of every foot OF ground.
. Planting so many of these little pear
trees, selected winter sorts, and chose
that king among pears, the Anjou, and
the scarcely less inferior Lawrence.
Both these pears do finely on the ounce
stock, and both are winter varieties.
With such fruit one can store in cool
cellar and unload upon the market
when the market is most in need of win
ter pears. With fall fruit one is very
nearly at the mercy of the market, for
he cannot hold the fruit for any length
OF time.
My own trees are set about four feet
apart. In future paintings | shall in
crease the distance somewhat. In set
ting the trees be careful to get the point
where the pear stock and ounce root
join several inches below the surface,
and for the first winter, at least, give
the roots a mulch for protection

PLANTING AN ORCHARD.
An Improvement Upon the Method
Now I'm Vogue Suggested.


1t is a common observation that the
outrows of trees in established or
chards are finer and more productive
than the trees in the interior planta-
tion. This superiority is all the more
conspicuous if the orchard is bordered
by cultivated fields, and it is fair to
presume the extra luxuriance is owing
to the trees having greater extent of
unoccupied soil for the ramification of
their roots. Something is also un-
doubtedly due to the greater space
available for the expansion and spread
of the branches; but it is in accordance
with all experience in the cultivation of
plants that rotation of crops is alb
solutely essential toward securing the
best results of the fertility of the soil.
Keeping these facts in view, it is sug-
gested that an improvement upon the
present method of planting orchards
would be gained by planting two rows
of trees from IS to 25 or more feet apart,
depending upon the nature of the
trees, and alternating the plants in the
rows. Then allow a space, varying in
extent from 800 feet to any greater dis
tance, before planting another series
of rows, and so increase the plantation
as may be desired. The intervening
spaces between these double rows Of
trees would be available for the culti-
vation Of the ordinary crops of the
farm. The roots of the trees would not
only participate in the benefits of cul-
tivation, but would have practically
unlimited room for extension before
meeting other roots of their kind. I'm
mediately under the trees and for dis
tance on each side of the rows as far as
the branches spread the surface could
be kept in grass. If not sown down inn
mediately after planting, which might
not be desirable in all cases, ii should
be done after the trees attain fruit
bearing size, or from five to seven years
after setting out. The shelter which
will be afforded to other crops by these
orchards will be found valuable as a
protection from winds as well as in for
warding early crops. This method is
particularly applicable to apple and
pear trees.-Dakota Field and Farm
