set the trees in soil that has not been
touched until the time comes to dig
holes and dump the trees in.
Thirty years ago the writer helped to
set out an orchard which is still in full
bearing and very thrifty state. and no
doubt much of it's thriftiness is due t,
the care exercised in preparing the
ground before the trees were planted.
The land slopes to the southeast, and
early In the spring it was plowed 1C
inches deep and later was worked down
as if 1t We're to be planted in garden
stuff. The holes We're dug before the
trees We're bought at the nursery When
the holes We're dug the top soil was
put on one side and the subsoil on the
other. Then a day was taken to go to
the nursery and see the trees dug, and
the next day were put into the ground.
The holes We're dug 33 feet apart, AMI
after being dug the subsoil was dug up
loosely as deep as possible with a long
thing spade.
When the trees were put in the roots
We're carefully spread out in their nat
ural position and the top soil put
around them and tramped down so
every root was tightly packed about
with the soil from the surface. After
this was done the tree was then left I'M
til all were standing in place. Then he
went over the whole and finished filing
the holes with the subsoil that had
been left, and this was thoroughly
tramped down.
There were fifteen rows of trees with
fifteen trees in a row and each row
was separate variety of apples, the
earliest being the nearest the house.
Out of the 225 trees set out in 1869
more than 200 are now standing and in
bearing condition.
The job of planting trees was done
as if the work were to be done but once
in a lifetime, and that orchard still
stands a monument to the man who
owned the farm, while dozens of or
chards in the same neighborhod have
been planted and have died out of care |
lessness.
1t is impossible to take too much |
pains in planting an orchard. On ordi- |
narily fertile soil no fertilization Is |
reeded until time for the trees to come
into bearing, except such as Will re-
store the waste of the soil from crops
crowns and carried off or from the
growth of the tree.

Tree Borers.
If 1t has not already been done, the
apple trees should be looked over at
once for borers. Young trees require
specially careful examination. The
work can now be discovered by looking
for the sawdust cast out of the holes
by the burrowing grubs or larvae The
insects can then be dug out and de-
stroyed with soft wire or q sharp
knife. This is a tiresome and unpleas-
ant job at best, in spite Of its impor-
tance. One hates to cut the trunk of a
promising young tree half In two Just

How to Keep Apples.
AT a meeting of the Missouri valley
horticultural society. Secretary Good
man said he could keep from 5000 to
1000 bushels Of apples in his cellar. He
first sprinkled them with a solution of
copperas, then piled the apples as high
as possible in the bins. He did not
want too much ventilation, as in his
experience the apples exposed to the
air rotted worse than in the middle,
Apples left in piles have a gray coating
formed on the outside, and if they once
reach this stage they are comparatively
free from rot. The coating is formed in
from six weeks to two months and
most of the rotting is done during that
period The cellar should be SPRAYED |
or sprinkled frequently to stop all fun
gous growth. He also advocated build
ing storage houses over springs, as the
flow of water will keep the house cool,
and also give sufficient ventilation,
Another method where Ice Is kept, Is
to have the apples stored in a cellar UNI
der the icehouse, the floor above be-
ing tight to prevent leakage. This is
approximately the method adopted by
one of the cold storage houses in Kan
'as City, In which apples have been
tept for three years with remarkably
good results.
