Best Soil For Lima Beans.

It is fact that. all Lima beans do
best upon land moderately rich, ss
upon strong muck soil they grow
too rank. have too much foliage, and
are not inclined to set the pods until
the growth OF vine has been checked
III some way. either by dry season or
by having completed their growth.
This is even more noticeable in the
bush Lima than in the pole Lima, and
should serve as a caution in regard to
the soil they should be planted in and

Excessive pruning is to be credited
for q share Of the work OF destroying
the yigor Of trees. Cutting away g.
great portion Of the branches, soma
of them often large ones, causes decay
at the point Of severing and is a
receptacle for insect pests, and tie
destruction Of corresponding quantity
Of roots, which dec4y and give rise to
fungus growth. Merely rubbing off
superauous buds rs soon as they ap-
pear, or cutting cut diseased or de-
cayed branches, usually will be all
that is necessary in the line Of prun-
ing. The other important point IN
the process of building up tree is
proper soil. Perhaps from TO cause
do trees suffer more than from lack of
support from the soil. Orchards are
too often planted on Indifferent
ground, because it is not So good for
cultivation; and for this very reason
it is not so good for fruit-growing.
Soil in which corn will grow we'll Will
produce fruit trees. But they must
not be left to grow and bear fruit from
year to year, depending Gil the IA
tural strength cf the soil. The ovrn
field is not so left, but is replenished
each year with more or less fertilizing
material: and so must the orchard be,
ii healthy fruit-bearing trees are Oh
tanned.
For a situation for an orchard, up-
land, with rich loan soil, is best. If
it must be on wet OF heavy clay soil,
it should he drained and supplied

aIIuvium, composted with manure
from the cattle stalls, is, in general,
Q good fertilizer for the orchard. and
should be supplied every two Or
three years, or oftener if needed. The
compos. should be worked down deep
into the soil at the extremities of the
roots, and as deep nearer the tree as
can BE done without damage TO the
roots. Such management will insure
vigorous, healthy trees, that will not
so readily succumb to disease. The

An Example of Forest Pceservati,

An Example OF FOREST Reservation.
In his annual address before the
Wisconsin Forestry Association, Pres
ident B. S. Hozie said chat We are not
in the dark concerning the preserva-
ton OF forests, because in the old
world it is &c longer al experiment.
Bohemia is one Of the most populous
countries on the globe. It's climate
is cool with rather severe winters. As
a consequence large quantities Of fuel
are used, most of which is taken from
the forests that cover the mountain
sides. For many centuries these for
ests have furnished fuel and building
material for a dense population and
retained nearly their primeval area.
This is due to the forethcught of the
government in ordaining that as trees
were cut down others should be plant
ed to ill the vacancies. Now vast
stretches of dense forests cover the
mountain slopes.

a contest on between buyers and factors,
pending which no business Is being done.
After the market established what was

is not surprising that buyers are finding
some trouble in bringing about a decline
to the price bid. which is understood To
be 49Sic To the present factors have
firmly declined to yield, and il is possible
