TIM ELY WORK.
selecting Trees and Preparing the
Soil For Fruit Planting.


s<iecting Trees and Preparing the
Soil For Fruit Planting.
To those who contemplate fruit plant
ing next spring the Iowa Homestead
offers the following recommendations:
All the preparations should be made SO
far as possible this fall. The ground
should be thoroughly plowed, and plow-
ed deeply, and If it be kind of soil
that will be benefited by subsoiling the
work should be done then, for 1t is gen.
orally admitted that subsoiling is not
Of much advantage if done In the
spring. The thorough and deep prepa-
ration of the soil in the fall often makes
all the difference in the world between
success and failure, and in those cases
where the planting would not entirely
fail the success will be much better
with thorough fall preparation Of the
ground. This is true of tree planting
and of all kinds of small fruits as we'll,
and whatever may be ones ideas about
fall blowing in general agriculture
there is no doubt about the matter
where fruit planting is in question.
Another point at which fall prepare
tion should be made is In the ordering
of trees. The selections should be made
and the orders placed in the fall, and
indeed it is not bad plan to have the
trees delivered then, too, In which case
they should be buried close to where
they are to be set out and mulched
sufficiently to prevent the ground from
alternately freezing and thawing. BY
adopting this course the planter has his
trees under his own control In the
spring, can plant when he is ready and
can guard against the drying out Of the
roots that makes so much of the plant.
ing that is done mere throwing away
of stock and labor. If trees are received
in the fall and carefully buried and then
as carefully brought to the light and
air in the spring, they are almost GER
tain to grow when planted, which can
not always be said of trees received in
the spring, even when planted with the
greatest of care.
Many planters dig the holes for the
spring planting Of trees in the fall or
during the open weather in the winter.
This has some advantage, particularly
in the time that is saved in the spring
when other work presses. One Of the
objections made to spring planting by
those who live in locality that per-
mits choice between spring and fall
is that work is so urgent in the spring
that time enough is not likely to be tax
en- to plant the trees as carefully as it
should be done. The objection has
force, but it can be robbed of much OF
1t by making in the fall every prepare
tion that is possible, so as to have moth
ing but the actual planting to do when
spring comes. Digging the holes in the
fall is one of the points at which valu-
able time can be saved in the spring.

PREACHERS AND THE PRESIDENT

Methodist Episcopal church at which
there were present some 800 ministers
of that denomination, representing. so
it is claimed. a church membership OF
nearly 10000. a part OF the business
of the session was the consideration
and adoption of resolutions arraigning
Spain for her treatment OF Cuba. In
an editorial treating OF the incident the
New York Mail and Express says:

Its scope and the set terms In which
