ORCHARD CULTIVATION.
Fruit Must Receive as Good Care -
All Other Crops.

Fruit Must Receive as Good Care -
All other Crops
Good tillage increases the available
food supply of the soil; it also con-
serves its moisture
Trees should be made to send their
roots deep into tie soil. in order TO for
tify themselves against drought. This
is done by draining the soil and by
blowing the orchard rather deep.
This deep Flowing should begin the
very year the trees are set, and ii should
be continued every spring until the
habit of the tree is established
Moisture is retained in the upper soil
by very frequent but shallow tillage, by
means of which the surface of the land
becomes mulch for the soil beneath
Tillage should be begun 5tIst as soon
as the ground is dry enough in spring.
This tillage should be repeated as
often as once in ten days through grow
ing season-from spring until July or
August.
Tillage should not exist for the pur-
pose of killing weeds,
Late cultivation may be Injurious by
inducing late growth AT all events
it can be of small utility when the tres
begins to mature and rains become fre@
quent. This season of respite gives the
grower the opportunity of raising p
green manure, and of adding fertility
to his land at trifiing expense and witt
no harm to his trees.
Fall blowing may be advisable foI
farm crops. but not for orchards.
Only cultivated crops should be al
lowed in orchards early in the season
Grain and hay should never be grown
In general level culture is best. The
modern cultivators and harroyvs make
such cultivation easy.
Trees, especially apples. ere often
trained too high. because of difficulty OF
working close; but modern tools per
nit the heads TO be made low.
Harnesses with no projecting names
nor metal turrets should be used in
bearing orchards. Those requiring nc
whiffietrees are also useful
Potash is the chief fertilizer for fruit
trees. particularly after bearing.
Potash may be had in wood ashes
and muriate of potash. An annual ap-
plication of potash should be made upon
bearing orchards. OF the mrriate from
500 to 700 pounds to the acre.
Barn manureS can be used with good
results. particularly on old orchards.
Cultivation may be stopped late in
the season, and a crop then be sown
upon the land. This crop may serve as
cover or protection to the soil. and as
a green manure.-Prof. L. III. Bailey,
in Stark Bros Orchard Bulletin.

insects. 1t is probabl that the red
head fully compensates for the damage
done by sapsucking, in consuming SO
many insects"
The kingbird comes in for word OF
praise. He is distinctly fly catcher
and takes large portion of his food on
the wing. The kingbird also watches
the trees closely. and gathers in all
sorts of insects. This bird has been
suspected of catching honey bees; but
an Iowa farmer says that he shot n
dozen kingbirds near his hives, and
found not single bee in any one of
their stomachs. Therefore he con-
cludes that the kingbird is guiltiess OF
this charge; modified by the fact that in
various parts of the country ii king
birds were killed. and 40 drone bees
were found in their stomachs. Isn't
that wonderful? How in the realm of
intelligence could those birds know
that the drones were proper prey, while
the working bees and queens must be
spared?
The meadow lark is compIimented
because of the fact that it feeds al
most wholly upon insects In 23s
steInachs examined, it was discovered
that 7S per cent. of the food of the birds
consisted of insects alone It nests on
the ground, and walks about with
dainty step. knowing that it is a well
come visitor and therefore not in fear

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Young orchards often need addition
al fertility.
Be on the lookout for the leaf-eating
caterpillar.
In pruning cut out all weak and
crowded branches.
There is little danger of injuring an
orchard by manuring.
All pruning cuts made at this time
should be covered with oil or wax.
Keep good lookout for tent ca terpii-
lars during the summer
To secure the best grapes more or
less thinning is necessary.
The more healthy leaves plant has
the better the fruit will color
Pulling off vine leaves to letsin sun
and air is injury to the vine
Starvation and neglect are the great
causes of unfruitfulness with trusts.
Too large and too thick heads on the
fruit trees should always be avoided.
Tobacco water will destroy worms
and bugs on rose bushes. Spray II on.
You can crowd fruit trees and pants
only at the risk of getting reduced
crops of inferior fruit.
The secret of growing extra fine
StraWDerrieS is 10 cut OH the runners

Fruit trees that have been grated
need to be looked after to see that the
stock does not make shoots.
Protection from too much sun is al
ways an advantage with currants,
gooseberries and raspberries.
When the peach tree is making a
spindling growth of twigs and limbs
it is good indication that the soil
lacks potash.
With a young orchard at this time
it will be good plan to stop ctiltiva-
ton and mulch carefully, leaving the
soil in good tilth--St. Louis Republic

ARTISTIC ENTRANCE.
How to Make the Approach to . Farm

How to Make the Approach to a i'aru
House Attractive.
First impressions are generally last
ing. The first impression of a mans
farm often comes from the appearance
of the entrance driveway. If it is SIM
ply track up through field, or if one
must pass through a pair o bars" in
order to reach the house, the impression
is not apt to be particularly pleasing.
The making of handsome entrance
to ones home is not so much matter of
expense as of materials and good taste.
The materials for making the entrance
shown in the accompanying illustration
are to be found on most of our north
ern farms, or in the immediate yicin-
ity. All that is needed is proper ar
rangement. a wise plan ting OF trees and
shrubbery, and properly laid-out road
way. to make a handsome entrance.
The road should enter on curve, and
the entrance should be hanked on
either side by thick growth of trees
and shrubs. Two large powders are
selected for posts on either side, and
other smaller powders make up the
wall. This is designed as the founda-
ton over which our common woodbine
shall be trained. Such a wall. and en-
trance posts we'll covered with the
wonderfully thrifty and handsome vine.

HIGHWAY DRAINAGE.
without Ii Road Building Cannot BE
Made a Success.

u
There is one fault frequently COM
mitted in the use of the road machine;
there is an insufficient escape allowed
for water. Those who operate the ma
chimes object to being bothered by bars,
or the so-called 'thank you, marms."
So these are not being put in their
places as they should be.
If there is a short sag TO be filled
it can probably be done from ma
terial at the sides by using drag
scrapers, then dress up with road
machine, or if the soil is a stiff clay or
muck, haul on gravel, rock, shale or
sand, if they are available. If not, the
embankment should be raised to an
extra height to give quick drainage.
The worst feature in the working of
the roads is that they are made the
cutters of the county.
The ditch on the upper side of the
road gathers all the water from the
fields above the road and carry it to the
foot of the hill; the ditch on the lower
side gathers all the water coming fson
the road. and between the two our road
systems are being washed out.
Drainage can and should be provided
TO get the water outside of the road lin
its at short intervals. Water is poor
road material Keep it from getting
on the roads where possible.-Kenyon

A USE FOR TRAMPS.
In the South Weary WraEEIes Is Com
PEELED to Build Roads.


Visitors to the south have probably
noticed that there are several southern
states in which tramps are rarely seen.
The reason why these states have such
immunity from tramps, while Massa-
chusetts is overrun with vagabonds of
the criminal class, is simply TO be found
n the different methods of treatment
Of such criminals. In these southern
states. where tramps are so seldom
seen. it is the uniform practice to put
all suspicious characters at work upon
the construction of public roads
throughout the states.
When state has more roads that
need improvements than money with
which to effect these improvements,
the employment of tramps as roadmak-
ers has been found to work to the sat
isfaction of the general public. A GRIM
inal class is kept out of mischief, while
at the same timefhe value of the taxa
BILE property of the state is increased.
Farmers are benefited by being able
to get their produce to market with
far less trouble and delay than were
formerly expected as matter of course.
The state secures good roads at little
expense.
OF course. the tramps do not care to
work day after day, toiling away upon
the state highways; but whenever they
are caught within such n state they
cannot help themselves. The conse-
quence is that after few years of this
system the great majority OF tramps
give the state n wide berth.-Boston
