ORCHARD CULTIVATION.
bck of It Is the Chief Cause of Bar
renness, According to a Cana
dian Authority.

A Canadian fruit grower says that
rom his own experience and that Of
many others the conviction is firmly
formed that the lack of proper cu1tiva-
ton Is the chief cause Of barrenness in
orchards, although there are many
other causes. The cultivation of an
orchard should begin before 1t is set,
by having the soil In splendid state
of filth and rich. The selection of
site is of Importance. Peaches and ap-
pies do best on lighter soil, but not
leachy. Pears and plums do better
in heavier soil. Do not attempt to
grow any kind of grain or hay crop.
They draw too heavily on the moisture
which your trees require, and you can
not conserve it by cultivation. You
may grow hoed crop for few years,
but do not get too near your trees. AS
the roots extend keep back with your
crop. Put in hoed crop that comes
off the ground early or that does not
occasion any moving of the soil in the
late summer or fall season AS an in
stance, early potatoes may be grown
because they are oMsthe ground in
good time, but not late ones, for the
harvesting of them keeps the soil open
and prevents the proper ripening of
the wood. Many young trees have been
damaged or killed by lack of care in
this line. A young orchard that has
been enriched and well titled tending
to grow an excess of wood may be
thrown by seeding down, but do not
leave your seeding but a short time, as
an orchard in sod will begin to go
down before you are aware of it. As
soon as your orchard begins to bear,
stop growing crop Of any kind and
cultivate shallow. AS soon as the
ground is in a proper condition IN
spring begin cultivating, and keep it
mellow and well titled until about the
first Of August, then if your soil is
lacking In nitrogen (f the suckers

leaves are a good, healthy, dark green

An Excellent Combination.

Poultry and fruit growing make an
excellent combination. The orchard
is never injured by fowls, but on the
contrary most excellent work Is done
by them in destroying injurious in
sects and weed seeds. The addition
of a few bees makes strong trio, as
they, too, are q benefit to the fruit
grower as well as direct profit earn
ers. What other helpers have we
who cheerfully and persistentay work
for nothing and board themselves? p
