Cultivation of the Orchard.

Apples in a cultivated orchard ripen
later than in one that is not cultivated.
the fruit hangs on the trees better. and
it keeps better than fruit which ripens
earlier. says the Epitonist Fruit trees
should occupy the best land on the farm
as il requires god soil to furnish the con
slant supply of plant food thatis consumed
by the trees, for a bearing tree consumes
more food from the soil than tree which
does not bear; hence the Importance OF
heavily manuring orchard land. Fall is
the best time for setting trees for trees
set in the fall, become well established
and are ready to grow when spring comes
The wound on the lroots made in trans
planting, heals over during the winter the
soil becomes firm around the roots and re-
ssts drought much better than spring
planted trees. The holes which are TO re
ceive the trees should be at least three feet
square, and of sufficient depth The soil
should be thoroughly mixed with well-rot-
ted manure and well-filled-in and pressed
among the roots. Trees set in this wav

haphazard way All cross limbs and

and shortening the tops annually is adj
Vantageous. as trees are then not so liable
to break down when loaded with fruit.
and the fruit is more easily gathered.
What to Grow.-Grass should never be

Potash is generally deficient in old or

ment OF plant food there is nothing better

A Bad Practice.

II. C. Lawton, Luray. s. c., writes: THE
practice exists around here of turning
cows. sheep, hogs and other stock on to
the grain fields after the grain has been
harvested. which is generally in June, and
keeping them all summer grazing the
grass and trampling the soil and exposing
it to the hot sun. Those who practice
this claim that the stock will restore to
the land as much fertility as they take
from ID and in no wise damage the land.
Being a beginner in upland farming
would thank you If you will tell me
through the Weekly News if such practice
does not damage the soil to such an extent
as to lessen the chances for a good crop
another year. Some of the lands treated
in this manner last year have poorer crops
this year than ever before"
OF course 1t would be better for the land
II 1t we're not grazed during the summer
but let all the vegetable matter possible
accumulate on it and then allow this to
die on the soil and then turn it under If

the soil was at all wet. You are right
