SHALLOW CULTIVATION.
horticultural Authorities Unite in
Agreeing That 1t Is Most Effect
i've for Orchards

While it is an accepted fact that so
far as conditions will admit thorough
cultivation should be given during the
early part of the growing season to the
young orchard, at the same time it
should be understood that the cultiva-
ton should be shallow, particularly
close about the trees. With all plants,
in cultivating care should be taken not
to disturb the roots, and this is espe-
cially true as regards fruit trees or
plants. While thorough cultivation is
admittedly beneficial, it should always
be given in way that will not disturb
or injure the roots.
With a little care the weeds may be
kept down and the soil in good filth by
giving shallow cultivation. When plow-
ing care should be taken to run shallow
when close to the trees in order to
avoid injury to the roots. When no crop
is grown, if when the last cultivation is
given the soil be left level, fine and
mellow it will act as a mulch during
the summer and aid very materially in
retaining the moisture in the soil. and
with newly-set trees this is quite an ad-
vantage, as many die the first year for
want of moisture.-N. j. Shepherd, in
Farmers Voice.

HANDLING CORN SHOCKS.
Although 1t Is a Task of Far-Reach.
ing Importance, hut Few Per-
: form II Well.

The report of the Kansas state
board of agriculture says where hand
labor is plenty, the standard price for
cutting corn by hand is five cents per
shock, IA by IA hills square, without
board, or so cents per acre, as there
are 16 shocks of this size per acre.
Corn should always be cut on bright,
clear days or on such day as is good
to cure hay in. Two men should work
together, and the shocks should be
started on a jack, which is made by
putting two legs. well braced togeth-
er, near one end of a tenfoot scan
ting, and having an auger hole near
the upper end for broom handle. As
soon as four armfuls are set up
against the jack the shock should be
loosely tied with a stalk and the jack
removed. AS soon as the shocks have
thoroughly cured, say two weeks aft
er cutting, those that are to be stored
in the barn should be baled under
5000 pounds pressure, and tied up
with wire common hay-baling wire,
one wire will tie up two shocks), and
those that are to be fed from the
field can be pulled up tight with rope
and pulley and tied with binding
fwine; the twine should be satur-
ated with coal oil to prevent mice and
insects from destroying it. Eminent
professors have agreed that it only
takes one and one-half inches of rain
fall to wash all traces of digesttble
matter out of shock of alfalfa, and
corn shocks are also affected, but not
to so great degree. They have also
agreed that well-cured corn fodder,
put under good roof without having
had any rain on it, is in every respect
just the same as ensilage, except the
water content, and it is only neces-
sary to cut it and add the water to Sc
cure food identical to ensilage with
out the cost of silo, with its short
life, and also without the 90 to 25 per
cent. waste that mold causes in the
corners of the siIo.-Prairie Farmer.

rRANsPLANT1NG TREES.
Earth Should BE Left Clinging to the
Roots and the Trunk should
be Lifted Bodily.

The more earth that can be left
to be transplanted, the more certain
is the tree to live. 1t is wise, then, to
dig about the tree so as to leave bunch
of earth about the small roots. follow
ing out and gently freeing the long
roots as they are met in cutting cir
Gle about the trunk. Then the tree
must be lifted bodily, if possible. There
are several ways to apply power for
this purpose, one of the best being
shown in the cut. A tripod is rugged
with three stout poles and lever is at
tached in the manner shown. AS the
tree is lifted new hold" can be Sc
cured by taking up the chain on the
tripod. Where the tree is gripped by
