Information About Care of Trees

With regard 10 the care Of trees ne
saws that when the orchard is once form
ed. whether by plants from the nursery
or by the purchase Of young plants the
permanent care of the trees should ne
along the lines usually followed by horu-
c,,ltnrists with other trees. The interval
varies according to the form given to the
trees. lie describes the methods of plant
ing as in orchards and also in hedges,
these latter being the dwarf trees, and
adds:
THE trees should be stripped Of leaves
only once every two or three years ana
the stripping should not be commenced
until the tree is six or seven years old
The picking of the leaves is begun as
soon as the dew is gone in the morning.
II is jr,nOrtant to keep the leaves smooth
ana not to pick those that are damp. II
the leaves are kept in a sheltered place,

association in that town Wedo not see
how any well regulated town can get
along without at least one Of these Or
CARNATIONS The absence of one in Hen

fact that this town showed a smaller

Whether the cause assigned was or

CRIMSON GLOVER.
The Fall Is the Season for Seeding
Down the Crop.
Agricultural Exchange

Agricultural Exchange
Crimson clover should be seeded in Sep
TENDER, or even in August, if rains are
abundant. 1t is not adapted to climates
where winters are very severe Itmay be
pastured, cut for hay, or used for green
manure, but its main advantage is that
1t grows on the land after. other crops
are Off and comes off before other crops
go on the same land, hence it really en-
tails no cost for the use of the land. The
amount OF seed required for an acre varies
under different conditions. From II to
70 pounds have been recommended, but
usually from 10 to 20 pounds is the
quantity required, though it is better to
use too much rather than too little 1t
is of advantage to test the terminating
power OF the seed, if possible, as the seed
may be old or not good, which is one of
the causes of failure. As crimson clover
is nitrogen gatherer, having the power
to derive nitrogen from the atmosphere,
through bacterial agency, there will be
no necessity for the use of nitrate OF soda
or sulphate of ammonia. although it
must be admitted that small quantity
OF nitrate of soda at the start will not
come amiss. Potash is the main sub
stance required, and may be applied in
the form OF wood ashes or as potash
salts. Lime, however, always gives
good results, and is used at times when
seeding, as well AS when turning the
crop under. What is the most important.
however, is to disregard the advice that
crimson clover can be grown anywhere
by scattering the seed on the surface of
the ground without first blowing the
land. Such an experiment is never salts
factory as many of the Seeds fail to ger
inmate, while the plants that take root
are liable to be injured in winter. The
ground should be deeply plowed, and, if
MANFRED with well-rotted manure or
complete fertilizers applied, so much the
better, as the land will then be in more
suitable condition for corn when the
crimson clover is plowed under The
ground should be narrowed several
times, or until it is in good condition for
the seed, covering the seed with a brush
or roller. A seed sower should be used
to secure even distribution of the seed
and if sowed early, and vacant spaces
occur, the spots may be seeded again. If
the ground is well prepared there will be
less liability of the plants being thrown
out by frost in winter
