THE RIGHT TIME TO STOP.
Notes on Orchard Cultivation Which
Seem to Be Worthy of Care
full Consideration.

Cultivation of the orchard should
generally be stopped by the end of
July. This is especially the case with
old orchards that are being cultivated
for the first time. In the case of an
orchard that has been cultivated right
along there can be little or no harm
in cultivating at any time of year. 1t
will then stop growing iii midsummer,
and will spend the rest of its time and
energy in hardening up its wood. But
the orchard that has not been much
cultivated, or even that has not
been cultivated in the spring of this
year will be injured by giving it extra
attention of this kind in the late sum-
mer and fall. If, however, the trees are
carrying heavy crop Of fruit, cultiva-
ton may be continued later than if the
trees are bare or have little fruit on them.
The extra amount of plant food set loose
will then 60 into the fruit that is being
produced, and the late development of
buds and of wood will not occur. In
fact, in dry climates and dry seasons the
late cultivation may prevent the fruit
laden trees from becoming weakened
from lack of moisture. Then as there
is great deal of loss of moisture from
the uncultivated ground and the fruit on
the trees is requiring a great deal for
Its development, there is sometimes in
jury to the tree from the supply of mois-
ture being lessened or cut off.-Farmers'
Review.

Thought She Couldn't Live.

Moravia, N. Y, June 6.-Mr. BENJAMIN
Wilson, a highly respected resident OF this
place, came very nearly losing his wife
and now that she is cured and restored
to good health his gratitude knows no
bounds. He says
my wife has suffered everything with
Sugar Diabetes. She has been sick four
years. She doctored with two good doc.
tors but kept growing worse. The doctors
said she could not live. She failed from
200 pounds down to 100 pounds. This
was her weight when she began to uss
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and now She weighs
100, is well and feeling stronger every day.
"She used to have Rheumatism SO bad
her body and this is all gone too.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are a God-send to
those who suffer as my wife did. They
are all that saved her. We can't praise
them enough"

DAIRY AND LIVE STOCK.

The separator must be kept in perfect
repair and well oiled.
Cows should be MIXED, watered, fed
and cleaned at regular intervals.
1t is in the care of the cream that
the most important work of butter
making is done.
When feeding cattle the object should
be, especially if they are two-year-olds
and at all thin, to get as much growth
and development during the first two
or three months of feeding, and then
widen out the ration and fatten rapidly.
1T is better to feed to young calves
a little linseed jelly in addition to bran
and oats. Prepare by placing a table,
spoon old process oil meal in earthen
jar or dish, add boiling water and mix.
1t is readily eaten and is beneficial to
the digestive organs.
l had a fat beef to sell and cattle
buyers offered only $2S for the steer
alive. l butchered him and sold the
meat to a hotel for $43.70. The hide
paid for the slaughtering and the offal
made dog and chicken feed.-Idaho Let

WE MUST ASSIST NATURE.
"What to Do After Planting" Dis
cussed by Prof. II. E. Van
Deman, Promologist.

It is far too common to see fruit trees
and many other valuable costly things
planted and then left to their fate, or
nearly so. Some people seem to have the
idea that their duty is done when they
set things in the ground; that Mother
Nature will do the rest. Nature does do
a great deal for us, and, probably, lar
more than we often deserve, but we must
not presume too much upon her efforts.
We have only begun our duty. Like the
mother who has the infant in her arms
1t is to be made by her, very largely,
whatever it will be in future life. 1t
must be fed and trained. So must the
tree or plant
In the first place, supposing the soil Is
fairly rich and the planting has been
done properly, which is very often not
the case, there should be nothing like al
lowing the soil to become hard. This 1t
will do in short time if not given prompt
attention. The spring rains are usually
abundant, and this fact alone will cause
the soil to pack, and when dry spell
comes, it will bake on top, if it is not
prevented. The best thing is good TIL
lage. BY this 1 mean the tillage OF the
entire surface between the trees or
plants. Many act on the theory that
little space about them is all that is nee
necessary to keep loose, which is a serious
mistake. Capilarity works laterally as
well as vertically. A hard space, where
the moisture is escaping into the air very
freely, will draw upon the soil next to it,
if it be moist. That is just what occurs
in cases where little patches are kept
hard about trees in a grain field or
grassy yard. 1t will be so anywhere that
all the land Is not under thorough til
lage.
II farm or garden crop must be grown
between the trees, as Is often wise and
proper to do. let 1t be one that shall be
we'll titled for several months, beginning
in the springtime. In any case, stir the
surface frequently, but not very deep.
This is the true principle of tillage, for it
is to conserve the soil moisture. Pillow
under weeds if necessary, but aim to new
er let them get large enough to need 1t.
Watch the young sprouts that will
finally be branches, and rub or cut away
those not needed. This is much better
than to allow them to get large and then
have to cut them off, to the injury of the
tree in some degree. A sin never COM
mitted does not have to be repented OF,
and so with that tree: one not allowed to
grow right into bad shape does not have
to be righted
Keep the insects and fungus diseases
off by spraying while things are young.
if there is any need of it, and there often
is more than we are apt to think. In
