SCOT is a great fertilizer, as it con-

Fruit trees and brush fruits standing in

appreciate attention in this direction
and never fail to give a good account

as far as the branches extend. If there

in our right minds as nearly as L
could judge. (No. the road did not
seem too long that night.
1 live in a country where gravel is
abundant and good roads, that is, COM
paratively good roads, are the rule.
Yet L notice many things that are not
right about them. One of the serious
and needless mistakes is the putting
of large stones in the roads. l noted
to-day that the only place between our
house and the village where the wagons
have broken through the gravel is
where there is a stone imbedded in the
gravel, a stone of the size of a peck
measure and projecting about three
inches, as at Fig. 3. The wheels of
heavy wagons have climbed upon this
stone and plunged off on the other side
until they have worn entirely through

gravei drawn to mend it. / should say
that the cost of leaving that stone in
the road was about three dollars, that

ORCHARD PICKINGS.

A uniform production of fruit can
not be received from wet, heavy ground.
With strawberries, favor, color and
firmness are of more Importance than
size.
Profit in fruit culture has it's begin
ming in the careful selection of the very
best varieties.
In planting strawberries for market
select varieties that will give a long
season of ripening.
On the farm the first object in plant
ing fruit should be to furnish the fam
lily with a good supply.
The tree that bears a great crop of
small fruit exhausts itself by having
to produce an undue proportion of
seeds.
Young trees will start into vigorous
growth after transplanting with less
check than older ones would expert
ence.
A treIlis made with three strands of
wire, bracing the end posts thoroughly,

Some of the Important Points which
Must Not BE Neglected.

some of the Important Points Which
Must Not BE Neglected.
There are three essential items to be
looked after in transplanting. They
are pudding, compacting and protect
ing. A failure to give either properly
will affect the growth of the pIarts,
When properly done pudding is prefer
able to watering. The soil used in pud-
ding should be rich loam If in addi-
ton one-third of it is welI-rotted and
fined cow manure or good commercial
fertilizer all the better. Dip only few
plants at a time, so that the roots of
each plant can be well covered with the
rich mud. Make the hole large enough
and deep enough to take in the plant
without bending or twisting the roots.
The depth that the plant should be set
will depend upon the way it has grown;
generally it will be safe to set the plant
down to the first leaf. When grown
thick in close bed the plants often
make long, spindling growth, and if
not set deep a good percentage of them
will die
Compact the soil close around the
roots. The roots must come in close
contact with the soil or the plant will
die. 1t is too often the case in trans
planting that n hole is made with
sharpened stick, the roots of the plants
are dropped in, the soil is pressed
around the stem of the plant with the
point of the stick, while the roots bare
~ touch the soil, if they touch it at all,
and the plants die.
When the weather is warm and the
soil rather dry, in many cases it will
be help if the plant bed is thoroughly
watered two or three hours before tax
ing up the plants.
1t will be best to take up the plants and
set them out late in the evening. This
will give them all night to recuperate
from the change.
When the plants have been growing
in a close, protected bed it is quite
change to set them out all alone and
often little protection will be of ma
terial help. This may be given either
by drawing a little mound of earth
around the plant with the hand when
the transplanting is done or by covering
with a large leaf of some kind for a
day or two.
When the weather is hot and the soil
is dry it will be best to water for two
or three nights after setting out. AL
ways use water that has had the chill
taken off and thoroughly wet the soil
around the roOts.-St. Louis Republic.

Importance of the Pasture.

The pasture is the sheet anchor on
the dairy farm. Too much care cannot
be given it. No satisfactory substitute
has been discovered, nor is il in the
leas degree probable that any will be.
Stall feeding is very well for beef cat
tie TO be butchered. but is slow death
to the breeding COW. Soiling is an in
valuable ally to the pasture. but soiling
can never be made a permanent sub
stitute. \ given number of acres di-
yided into two or more pastures will
give better results than If left in one
Enclosure. The grass will be more even
~ cropped, therefore more uniform in
quantity and quality, and fewer weeds
will grow. By changing the cows reg
ularly from pasture to pasture a con-
slant supply of fresh grass may be Sc
cured throughout the whole season.
