Annual Crop For the Orchard

Unless it is desirable to reduce the
growth of too rampant young orchard
aud set it to bearing, some annual
crop is better for the we'll being of an
orchard than seeding it with clover.
Ii the land lacks fertility SOW pea on
it, and let them be harvested by
turning hogs in to feed them down.
That will doubly manure the soil, the
hogs being left unringed and thus at
liberty to cover their excrement with
soil, and the nodules on pea roots
serving to supply the soil with avail
able nitrogen just as clover would do.
If the land is already too rich, keep a
huckwheNt crop on it in summer,
blowing it under very lightly the last
OF June. This will keep the soil loose
and light without enriching it much.
But so soon as the young trees get to
bearing, the peas will make the soil
none too rich, and the trees should
have at the same time dressings of
potash AID phosphate, which all trees
that bear fruit every year need in
order to produce crop.

cause of Decay In Trees.

1T really seems that diseases and
premature decay of almost every kind
Of fruit trees are on the increase, de-
spite the efforts and methods en-
ployed to promote their health and
vigor. New diseases are multiplying
or old ones are increasing in virulence
and power. This is mainly to be at
tributed to the vitality of the tree, and
this, we believe, mainly arises from
improper cultivation or treatment of
the tree. Much of this trouble with
trees must come from the manner Of
budding and grating, the kind of soil
III which they are planted and the
method of pruning. The Epitomist

within reach, putting in water and
scattering grain in the litter. The
whole structure is covered with tarred

securely tackled or battened with

Select a dry location, and put in
three inches OF gravel upon the ground
and keep Il thick layer of chaff upon

away merrily for grain all winter

desired and part off with boards-or
with netting if only females are to be
kept in the pens-before the roof is
put on. Roosts can be put up lust

floor. With care to make the roof
tight, such a building, while it costs
but little, will prove very satisfactory.

Points In Feedinr Stock.

Much of the improvement made in
animals by domestication is the effect
of the better care aud more regular
rations which domestic stock secures.
1t is far less able to care for itself, be-
cause of being thus for generations
provided with more and better food
than it could secure without mans
aid. This regular supply of nutritious
food increases the animals digestive
powers, so that it can make use of all
that Is taken into the stomach. Wild
animals are seldom fat. When hogs
are allowed to run wild as they do in
the Southern States, they are long
legged, long bodied and always lean.
Their flesh is mostly made from wild
nuts and roots eaten in the woods.
with some corn gained by depreda-
tons on the fields of farmers in the
neighborhood where the wild hog
abounds. This razorback pork has a
high reputation for delicacy of flavor.
and its hams are exported in large
amounts and sold after being cured at
higher prices than can be got for the
pork made from localities where corn
and other grains are the staple ration.

Tney were fishing between Mission
Rock and Goat Island when they saw

up to the boat the boatmen set upon ii

barely escaped being drawn into the

and from loss of blood that it was
finally conquered. In the fight the
boatmen broke one oar and a stretcher.

Weed Out the Useless Choppers.

The man that produces a variety of
vegetables to sell in the cities and
towns needs to keep a close account
with each crop raised. BY this
method alone can he know what crops
are paying him profit and what crops
are running him into debt. If he
keeps a strict account he will find
that lie has some useless choppers.
These useless choppers merely take
the fertility from the land, eat up the
labor of the farmer and give nothing
i'll return. This is not the blame OF
the particular crops that are found to
be Improbable. Usually lands differ
so greatly in their mechanical con-
struction and in the natural elements
they contain that the same set of
plants will show up quite differently
on different pieces of land. In other
words, each lot of land will be found
to be specially adapted to only lin
tied number of plants. 1t is the
business of the farmer to discover
what these are and stick to them in
his future operations. As in our
diaries it has been found that half of
tue COWS are cared for without return
ing a cent of profit, so in the garden
of the farmer, probably half of the
kinds of crops grown can be discard
ed without losing the farmer a penny,
but with saving to him of a great
volume of labor and care. Farm,
