Saving tho Fruit.

There never is a time, no matter
how great may be the fruit crop as Q
whole, when some Of US do not need tC
exercise economy in our use Of this
valuable addition to the food pro
duets of the country. And even when
we have all done our best, many folk
will be compelled to go without fruit
for the greater part OF the year. 1t
stands all who are thus shortened to
make the most we can of the orchard
crop. Frequently we do not really
know what economy in this direction
is. On most Of our farms many bush
els Of apples so to waste every year.
If the people who have no fruit could
get a chance to use this surplus stock
how it would help them! In every
neighborhood there are some such
families. Why should we not share
with them the fruit we cannot or do
not wish 10 use, rather than let il
rot. Then, too, the old fashioned
, pairing bee" had its virtues. They
enabled us to turn the surplus apples
which might otherwise rot into the
form Of dried fruit, to be used later,
when the winds of winter howl and
fresh fruit is scarce. Again, in pick
ing out fruit for use to-day, why not
select such as viii be spoiled to-mor-
row? Sometimes we are inclined to
laugh at the man who cuts out the
decayed spots in apples and uses them
to save them. There Is really some.
thing commendablc about this, when
we remember how glad some one viii
be 10 get the fruit we thus save, ii
we ourselves are not when the season
grows old.-E. T. Vincent, in New
York Tribune Farmer

nIanurn For Tho PInnts.

The sooner the manure spread on the
land is decomposcd the sooner Che
plants can utilize Il. When a large
mass Of undecomposed straw or corn
stalks are hauled to the field they are
in a condition beyond the reach OF the
plant roots. When the manure heap
is well managed and all the ingredients
well "rotted' one-half Of the battle
is won. 1t is a saving Of time, because
the farmer who desires a quick start
for his corn in the spring cannot afford
to wait for the manure to rot In the
fields. Good management Of the ma
nure means that 1t must be decom-
posed in the heap, without losing any
Of it's advantages. Every farmer
knows how to do so, but the majority
allow large portions Of the valuable
ammonia to slip away from them.

aInnngcmenl Of Roaduay.

Some farmers appear to forget that
their land extends to the middle Of the
roadway. and that they have rights
and duties IN connection with the road
sides. It IS common to find by Che
wayslde the largest weeds IN the neigh
borhood. They have had It all thcir
own way. and this las been TO rlpcn
a large crop Of seeds. Such neglect
OF the roadside is q great mistake. and
Ii not only gives neglected appear
ance to the roadway, but IS means Of
propagatlng weeds that do much dam
age to the crops in the adjoining fields.
1t does not matter how clean the cult
waited crop may be kept if weeds are
left to grow just over the fence. It is
too late now to do more than collect
and burn these but In doing this the
seeds should be killed TO make the
work Of subduing these pests less bur
densome in the future, beside adding
to the attractiveness Of the roadway.

The Fcaol Tree Isorer

Professor Smith, ontomOlogist OF the
New Jersey Experiment Station, says
he has had good results in shutting
off the peach tree borer by using ny
draulic cement mixed with skim
milk, applying once or twice in a year.
He removes the earth around the
crown Of the root and examines to
see if any borers are already there.
If they are found they are destroyed
by the use Of the wire, then he mixes
the cement and milk to make a thick
wash, and applies it with brush, from
two inches below the surface Of the
ground nearly to the branches Scarcely
any borers are found after the first
season, although neighboring trees
that have not been treated are badly
infested The milk makes a more
flexible covering than If the cemenf
were mixed with water, and does aot
crack as easily or split off. The trunk

Flowing Under Green Crops.

While we advocate blowing under
green crops, when they are not worth
more for stock food than for manure,
we believe that there are more soils
where this practice may do injury
rather than good. IGthe soil is light
and sandy, lacking Nitrogen, or when
it is stiff and need4 to be made more
porous, then almost any green crop is
n good manure for Where it is low
and wet, and perhaps has too much
acid in It, q heavy crop Of clover OF
other gree1amanure viii usually be an
injury to the succeeding crop, unless
it is given also a dressing Of lime in
some form, and we would prefer to pay
more for a good phosphate Of lime or
fine ground phosphate rock, with an
addition Of potash, than to use either
slaked lime or sulphate of lime Yet
in a limestone soil we have seen green
manuring work wonders, and so it will
on land recently cleared, where the
bushes and brush had been burned on
the ground. Phosphates, potash and
wood ashes may be put on to grow
the green crop, and if used literally
will benefit that and the succeeding
crops. Sowed on the surface and har-
rowed in they do not waste or do any
harm if the amount is much more than
one crop needs.-The Cultiyator.
