Ashes in the Orchard.

do not think we place as high a
value upon ashes as we should have
been testing their value as a fertilizer,
and am convinced that on many kinds
of soil nothing is as good. Three years
ago plowed up an old orchard When
! seeded it down spread unslaked ashes
literally under the trees. Last fall
when most of my neighbors complained
of having no fruit l had fairly good
crop. The grass was also heavy under
the trees.

pounds of phosphate. | had a splendid
crop of corn.
A friend told me yesterday that he
tried an experiment in fertilizers last
year. On one strip he sowed ashes
broadcast on meadow land. On a strip
alongside he put on a top dressing of
lime, and on still another broad band
of phosphate was used. This rotation
was kept up right along until he had
covered five acres. Tue result was very
favorable for the ashes 1t was easy to
see just where the ashes left off every

Improving Quality.

One Of the problems of pal ticular i'm
portance to the dairy interests is that Of
improviuglthe quality of butter made
Oh a great many farms. Large quanti-
ties are made in this way and great
portion Of it is of quite inferior quality.
1t is not remunerative to those who pro-
duce it, says the Indiana Farmer, and
it adversely affects the general market
for good butter, because it is trans
formed into "ladles" and "proceSs but
ter" which enter into competition with
genuine butter, with much the same re-
suits as follow oleomargarine competi-
ton. A good deal of the butter that is
made might just as well, from the stand
point of the maker, Of the industry and
Of the consumer, mot be made at all, since
it does not pay any of them. If this
butter could be improved in quality it
would add largely to the value::of the
dairy product of the country and would
help its makers to earn living. Per-
haps the most serious obstacle to i'm
proving the lower grade of dairy butter
is the fact that the butter in rural dis
tricts that is made on the farm is SO
largely sold at groceries and general
stores. The buyer is principally en-
gagged in selling goods. He must hold
his trade and he purchases farm butter
as a mere incident to his business. He
does not, and dare not, conduct this
branch Of it on its merits. He is glad
enough to buy good farm butter if it
comes to the store, and he will set it
aside for his own use or for the use Of
good customers, but when the maker of
poor butter brings in q batch, he is
afraid to refuse it or TO pay less for it
than he did for the good butter. He
knows that he would lose the trade of
the maker if he did. One farmers wife
will make good butter, but what in
ducement has she to try to do still bet
ter when her neighbor, who makes poor
butter, gets as much a pound for it as
she does, or what motive has the maker
Of the poor butter to make it better when
she gets just as much for it as is paid
for the better butter made in the neigh
bOrhOod ? Human nature Is so consti-
tuted that the doctrine of rewards and
punishment cuts large figure with it.
On the average it does not take extra
trouble and pains unless it sees corre-
spending rewards for doing so. The
quality of large mass Of farm butter
would be very much improved if some
way could be devised whereby every
pound that is made were sold upon its
actual merits. the good butter maker
receiving a good price and the maker of
grease a grease price.
