Watching New Orchards in Summer

The first summers life of trans
planted tree is usually the most critical
one. If young orchard is brought
through this one season safely much
an xiety may be dispensed with, says
Practical Farmer. A great deal of at
tention should be given the trees until
the summer is we'll advanced. If the
foliage be maintained to this time the
success of the transplanting may be re-
lied on, even though the leaves be but
few. Those who have watched freshly
planted trees we'll know that no matter
how few the leaves or how small they
be, if they are maintained in healthy
state until the close of summer the
tree bearing them is safe. Apples and
pears with anything like fair show
are tolerably safe trees to transplant;
80 is the plum. But the cherry must
be planted in good season. Should the
buds be pretty we'll out when moved
the tree is not so apt to do well. A
leading nurseryman once told the writ
er that he had more complaints from
his customers because of the loss of
cherry trees than from any other fruit
tree he sold. The cherry should be
planted either in early fall or early
spring. If the buds have made a good
push toward expanding they are not
apt to do as we'll. A tree to do well
must have it's roots in very close con-
tact with the soil. If when planting it
it has been we'll rammed, the work has
been we'll done. Looseness of soil does
not often occur when bucket of water
is poured in on planting. There is
nothing like water for settling the soil
about the roots. Witness a gang of
laborers on street laying water pipes
or gas pipes, and desiring that the
earth which they refill the trench with
should settle at once.
They food the trench with water,
which compacts the soil at once, and
little or no settling occurs afterwards.
Very often when trees have not had
the soil compact about the roots at
planting and no rains have done it, it
will pay to inspect the trees in late
spring and tramp or pound In the soil
while dry, and then pour in some wa
ter. Keep in mind that water roots
must have, and that close contact with
soil is what nature calls for, and what
to do should suggest itself. Sometimes
trees will start with but little vitality
and bear but few leaves. 1t will be
bene fetal to these trees to prune away
some of the tops, but do not cut off
branches or twigs bearing leaves. 1t
is to the few leaves borne that we look
to pull the tree through the summer,
securing its establishment permanent.

ROYALTY for DilutiOn SeparatOrs.

A considerable number of farmers in
Vermont as we'll as in other States
have been persuaded within the last
two years to buy so.called gravity
cream separators. The first cost OF
these implements is not large, and
many are led to believe that they are
getting a separator at small cost 1t
has been clearly shown, however, in
the past that these implements are not
separators in the true sense of the
word, land that they are very wasteful
of butter fat, doing then no better
work than the shallow pan system.
They are, therefore, costly in the long
run. The facts concerning their in
efficiency have been brought out by the
Vermont Experiment Station in their
publications.
A new feature has now appeared in
connection with this M ethod OF cream
raising. Parties have been going about
the State demanding royalties from all
farmers who use the dilution process in
any form of can except that controlled
by the agents. The agent claims that
the process is patented, and that the
farmer is infringing on the rights OF
the patentee.
AS matter Of fact no patent exists
on any such process. The Cornell Ex-
pertinent Station calls attention to the
fact in one of their recent bulletins
that no less than ten different styles of
apparatus in which this process is used
have been patented within the last
eighteen months. In only one case
out OF the ten patents examined is the
word dilution used, and that case is
not now in question.
This method of cream raising has
been in use for ten years at least. 1t
has been thoroughly tested by the ex-
pertinent stations and by practical
dairymen. 1t was reported upon as
long ago as 1890 and widely advertised
at that time. 1t is, therefore, out OF
the question that the process should
now be patented.
If any farmer wants to waste his
cream by the dilution process he can
do 30 without paying royalty to any
body. On the contrary, any farmer
who is approached by these royalty col
lectors would be doing his fellow-men
good turn if he should report the
matter at once to the proper authori-
ties and have it looked up. Such men
are doubtless subject to action at law
for obtaining money under false pre-
tences.-Vermont Experiment Station.

AGRICULTURAL.
Fighting Insect Pests.


The inroad made by the forest worm
In 1899 has been followed this year by |
vast numbers of canker worms in diff
ferent sorts and by Western pest,
which Professor Singleland says has be-
come destructive in New York state
for the first time. With all these has !
developed an enormous crop of aphid@.
| am not quite certain what relation
these worms bear to each other, but L
am strongly inclined to think that the
latter are conditioned by the former.
These lice, or aphid@, rarely appear in
great numbers, excepting when the
foliage has been previously diseased by
the work of other pests. Is this true,
also, of the canker worm2 Are they
somewhat in the nature of scavengers,
to clean up the diseased refuse of other
destroyers? Throughout Central New
York we have now in spots whole or
chards and whole forests standing dead
and in other places lesser degree OF
destruction. If this is a survival of the
fittest, then the end will be not Only a
great change in our vegetation, but in
our inhabitants. A man who is whipped
by worms should give way to better
stock. The condition points to COM
binatlon of efforts to enable US to come
out victorious as orchardists. In many
towns this is beginning to be compre-
hended. In Clinton the Rural Art So
ciety has purchased a sprinkler and
other apparatus for general service. 1t
has been kept continuously busy for
the public good.
Nature has curious and admirable
way Of compensating for damage done
by insect pests. During the spring of
1900, those that were defoliated, or par
TALLY 90, in 1899 have not used any of
their force in developing blossoms; the
elms, naples, the ash, the Eastwood
and other forest trees have given very
few flowers. These trees needed all
their strength to develop foliage. On
the other hand, trees that were not in
jured by the forest worm last year have
blossomed as usual. This has been
true of the Norway maple, the Ken
lucky coffee tree, and the cucumber
magnolia.
OF the bird helpers who have flocked
in to help US fight the inroad of cater
pillars and worms, the following is only
partial list. The purple finch, the
finch, the yellow chat, the red start,
the green.eyed viero, the scarlet tana-
ger, the Baltimore criole, the rose
breasted glossbeak, the indigo bird, the
Wilson's thrush, the yellow warbler,
the wood peewee, besides very great
increase of that grand helper, the cat
bird. Robins have not been on the in
crease of late, nor have seen them
eating the new pests. Every possible
encouragement must be extended to
the bird friends 80 that they may be
induced to make their permanent
homes with us. I have before urged
in The Tribune the necessity of plant
ing mountain ash trees, and high bush
cranberry and Tartarian honeysuckle,
all of which furnish an enormous
amount of bird food. The increase of
cherry orchards must also be taken into
consideration. A cherry tree occupies
but little space, and row along our
fences can be afforded purely for the
encouragement of birds.-E. P. Powell
in New York Tribune.

THERE Is more catarrh is this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
uounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and, by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and it therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. HALLS
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
