ORCHARD WISDOM.

Watch a sod orchard. It will begin to fail before you know it.
 Potash is the chief fertilizer to be ap- piled to fruit trees, particularly after they come into bearing.
 Good drainage, natural or artificial, is essential to success. Trees are i'm patient of wet feet.
 Good tilIage increases the available food supply of the soil and also con- serves it's moisture.
 Only cultivated crops should be all lowed in orchards early in the season. Grain and hay should never be grown.
 Even home or cultivated crops may rob the trees of moisture and fertility if they are allowed to stand above the tree roots.
 Tillage should be begun just as soon as the ground is dry enough in the spring, and should be repeated as often as once in ten days throughout the growing season, which extends from spring until July or August

 The use of lime as a soil i2prover is very ancient, and it's value for this purpose is generally recognized. Its action as a fertilizer is both direct and indirect. There are many soils in which lime is deficient, notably in soils derived from granite, mica schist, and sandstone formations. On such soils lime is cf direct value in supply ing a necessary element of plant food.
