PERMANENT LABELS.
A Matter of Some Importance tt
Horticulturists Who Want to
Keep Names Of Plants.

The little wooden labels which are
used to mark the trees and plants sent
out from the nursery are not durable.
They are light affairs and generally are
fastened on with piece of iron wire
which soon rusts off. If it does not rust
and break the limb will often grow
around it, and may become so injured
as to break off. The name is written
on with a common lead pencil and the
weather of one year will wear it off, and
thus the name is lost.
If it is desired to keep the name OF
the plant on a label attached to it it
may be done in this way: Get heavy
six or eight-inch label and rub it over
with white lead thinned with the least
bit of oil. Then with a soft pencil, and
before the lead is dry, write on the
name and anything else you may wish.
This will last for several years.
Now procure some No. Il or No. 16
copper wire and cut it in pieces foot
or more long. Make a loop on each end,
give the middle a twist around the label
and hang it around q small branch,
hooking the loops together and pinch
ing them up tight. Such a label fas-
tened in this manner will last for years.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Soil and location will change the ap-
pearance of fruit and also the quality. {
The head of the tree should always be
cut back to correspond with the roots.
Mixed husbandry in gardening and
fruit growing is necessary to the best
success.
In pruning trees of any kind it is bet
ter to have one strong branch than two
or three weak ones.
Whenever water is given to house
plants enough should be given to wet
the soil thoroughly.
A few apple and peach trees should be
planted every year in order to keep up a
good supply on the farm. RI
Sod is protection to an orchard in
winter. It is an exceptional case when
lis best.to plow in the fall.
The English walnut is said to be the
most profitable of all nut-bearing trees.
When in full bearing they win yield
about 300 pounds of nuts to the tree.
The nut sells on an average at about
eight cents per pound. Ifsonly 27 trees
are planted on an acr ethe income would
be about $675. st. Louis Republic.
