IN selecting site for an orchard q
northeast slope should,s if possible, be
chosen. A southwest slope is the
worst location, as the trees are liable
to sun scald both summer and winter.
To protect the young trees from sun
scald, cornstalks may be tied loosely
around the trees up to the lowest
branches. The ground should be
plowed, we'll fitted and marked off into
squares with a string or wire, Is feet
each way, After most of the leaves
have fallen is a good time to set out
the trees, and what leaves remain
should be stripped off so as to give
the roots all the chance possible. The
trees should be obtained from the
nearest nursery, and four of kind
are enough for home use, two of a
kind being planted this fall and two of
a similar variety planted next fall.
After the second planting blossoms
the trees should be stripped of their
blossoms in an effort to have one-half
Of the trees bear each year. As rule,
trees bear heavily once in two years..
Summer, fall and winter apple trees
should be selected of both the sour
and sweet varieties, so that apples
may be had from late, summer until
spring. In setting the trees the varie-
ties should be mixed so the blossoms
will become fertilized. The hole for
the tree should be dug large and deep
| to suit the size and shape of the roots,
leaving a few inches of mellow soil in
the bottom. Lean the tree slightly
| toward the southwest, put mellow dirt
among the roots, keeping them
straight, and when the roots are COW
cred pack the dirt slightly, pour on a
pail of water and fill up with more
dirt. Trees should be set a little
deeper than they grow in the nursery.
a mulch of rotten manure is then put
around the trees; strawy manure is
not good, as mice will nest in it and
girdle the trees.-F. Ames, in Prairie

THIS IS WORTH TRYING.
Keeps Sweet Potatoes All
the Year Around.

We packed away our sweet potatoes
September 80 and expect to have some
in May and June. We packed them in
boxes with alternate layers of dry
sand and have not failed to have them
keep well when thus packed in many
years of experience. The sand was
thoroughly dried in the first place by
being placed in the oven and heated,
and the sand we packed with this year
has been in use for the past IS years
for this purpose. The potatoes should
not get chilled before packing, and
should be perfectly dry.
We have also used ''excelsior"-
fine shavings used by furniture men in
packing goods for the purpose of
packing down sweet potatoes, and,
while it keeps them in fine condition
fol. some months, it does not pack suf-
ficiently solid to answer as well as
sand. go. = -
The boxes should be placed in some
dry place where the temperature is
not likely to go below freezing. This
is the best method for keeping sup
ply of sweet potatoes for home use.

keeps large quantities need not 20 to
so much trouble.-John L. Shawver, in

KEEPING SEED POTATOES.
Kansas Farmer Has Invented n Me eth-
cd That Seems to Be Emil
nently Satisfactory.

How to keep potatoes sound and in
good condition until planting time, or
even later, is a matter that causes
farmers in this latitude anxiety should
the weather be variable in winter. A
Kansas farmer tried the experiment Of
putting his potatoes in an alright
chamber and burning sulphur therein
for a few minutes until the fumes of
he sulphur filled the chamber, which
was then closed fer half an hour. The
potatoes may then be placed in bins
in cool place. He found that the sui
phur fumes prevented sprouts from
growing, destroyed all disease-such
as scab-and the potatoes were as
sound and attractive in appearance
as those bought for seed. He also
found that they germinated ahead of
others planted alongside, and made a
much stronger growth. He tested with
only few bushels, being afraid of in
jury to the potatoes, but recommends
to farmers to try the plan with a few
bushels and compare with some not SO
treated. If a tight barrel (whislzy or
vinegar) is used it may be filled three
fourths to the top sulphur candle
lighted and the top put on throwing
a piece of carpet over the top to pre-
vent leaking of the gas. There will
be enough oxygen in the barrel to sup
ply sufficient sulphur for the purpose.
Every half hour the barrel may be
emptied and more potatoes used. The
gas is heavy and sinks to the bottom.

It is frequently a question what to

that they shall thoroughly drain.
Sometimes stick is laid alongside q
