Pruning the Orchard in Summer.

Pruning the Orchard in Summer.
Besides the thinning out and shorten
tng of fresh growth in summer, such as
mas been referred to several times in
these columns, it would often be work
well done to thin out branches which
are too close together, branches which
should have been cut out in winter, but
which We're neglected. 1t Is often a
good deal easier to see when to cut in
summer than it is in winter, as the re-
qu1rements Of the tree can be better
understood. But few fruit growers
keep their trees open enough. The
trees are so dense that the branches
cannot perfect themselves and neither
flowers nor fruit can be looked for.
When branches are but small one is apt
to forget the future and permit too
many Of them to form. It is well to
keep in mind that a lot of inside
branches to which the sun never gets
will not bear fruit They are useless
and should come out, that the sun may
reach what are left. In summer time
1t Is easy to see at once when enough
has been thinned out. Besides this ad-
vantage, there is another, viz, the scars
quickly heal when cut while the sap is
active. BesiGes the thinning out and
sharpening Of the tree, summer pruning
of cherries, plums, pears and like fruits
has the effect of making them fruit
bearing in short time. A young shoot
of cherry cut back within few eyes
of its base, will form fruit buds on the
spur left. A pear shoot shortened in
one-half will often form fruit bud at
the point where cut off. Very often a
tree which has not fruited will be made
to do SO for the first time by these
means. There is always much pleasure
in having a tree of good outline, and
for this and the reason already given,
pay attention to the pruning. st. Louis

of that fact. The collecting Of birds
eggs is not only cruel practice, but it
works injury to all whom the birds
help. This means the farmer, the gard
ner and indirectly every one, either in
town or country.
But there is a way in which we can
aid our nature study and at the same
time help the birds. Why not surprise
the bluebird, the martin or the wren
by letting him find his home all ready
for him when he comes. Be assured
he will consider the dwelling place not
beneath his notice and will make lively
music for you all summer long. A few
days cannot be employed to better use
by the boys than in the workshop build
ing the mansions for the birds. Then

himself as ne secs 80 l,sic trry T,ear

If we thought we had soil that needed
more lime in it to sweeten it, we would
prefer the phosphate of lime either as
an acid phosphate or in the very fine
ground phosphate rock, or basic Stag,
such as are usually called floats. In
any strong soil rich in humus or decay
ing vegetable matter, or where green
crop had been plowed under, we think
either of these would dissolve quickly,
while the cost is not much greater than
that Of sulphate Of lime or common
land plaster. Then we should get the
benefit of the phosphoric acid as well
as of the lime. But to get the full ad-
vantage of the lime we would put the
field in cabbages, caulifiowers, turnips,
wheat or other small grains; or in
grass. Lime is Of little advantage for
corn, and on potatoes it is said to in
crease the scab and decrease the value
of the crops If not the quantity. With
a strip Of litmus paper it is easy to as
certain If the soil needs lime, as the pa
per put in wet soil will turn red If there
is too much acid, but if it is still blue
the soil is sweet or has lime enough.
Wood ashes also contain lime, mixed
with potash. In some soils this is the
best form to apply lime, as potash is
often needed, but it is not easy here to
buy good wood ashes.-American Guilt
vator.

Raising Young Turkeys.

There is neither luck nor tact in rails
ing young turkeys, but simply good care
and the right kind of food, says Field
and Farm writer. One of the first
steps is to have good eggs from we'll
mated fowls. Set the eggs under
chicken hen. Be sure not to give her
too many or she will wean them when
too young, or as soon as they get large
enough to crowd. Five or seven are
enough for one hen. 1t takes the eggs
about four weeks to hatch and every
thing should be in readiness for the
poults. 1t is necessary to have good
COOP. Make it without bottom and
set it on the ground. Confine the hen
and let the little turkeys run in and
out at their pleasure. Put the coop
away from the chickens, and with
planks about twelve inches wide and
eight or ten long make them a small
park so they cannot wander away from
the mother hen. The coop should be
moved to fresh place every day and
the little park every other day until
the little turkeys are old enough to fol-
low the hen mother. Young turkeys
that run with old ones will grow faster
and are far less trouble, but they are
likely to wander away and get lost.

SING WHILE THEY WEAVE.


Makers of Cashmere Shawls Are Happy
at Their Looms.
A recent traveller through northern
India tells an interesting incident in
Econnection with visit which she made
to one Of the rude little homes In Cash
mere, where the world-renowned India
shawls are made. 1t CHANGED to be a
very hot day, even for India, and when
our traveller found herself being con-
Quoted through dusty, dingy, narrow
street toward squalid little house she
almost regretted her inherent thirst for
knowledge.
However, upon entering little
room she found ten or dozen men
sitting on the floor patiently weaving
the richly hued threads in and out and
evidently happy, since, notwithstand-
ing the heat and general dinginess,
they were chanting together some
pleasing little melody.
While watching them at their careful,
painstakinglabor she noticed that each
man had a little slip Of paper pinned
to his work, which she naturally took
to be the design of his particular shawl.
Upon closer investigation, however, she
found that they all contained musical
notes. Fancy her surprise to learn that
it really was the pattern expressed in
musical notation, and represented, in
point of fact, the tune the men were
then singing. She further learned that
they had discovered a curious relation
between color and sound, whereby they
determined the colors they were to use
