ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Horses or cattle should never be pas.
tured in an orchard.
The best time to prune the peach tree
is early in the spring.
Too large and too thick heads on fruit
trees should always be avoided by proper
pruning.
An ounce of nitrate of soda dissolved
in four gallons of water is an excellent
food for bulbs.
There is no danger in turning under
clover and planting the land to straw Der.
rics and raspbcrries, planting in the
spring.
a good way to destroy plant lice is tc
dip the affected parts of the plants intc
bucket of strong tobacco water or else
syringe with this solution.
An orchard plowed every year has most
of its seeding roots just below the reach
of the pillow. while one in grass runs its
feeding roots near the surface.
In applying wood ashes scatter them
out underneath the tree as far as the
branches extend. They should not be
applied close up around the stem.
As general rule. after the orchard
comes into full bearing it is best to let
the trees have the benefit of the whole
ground. Clover, however. may be grown.
