TRANSMITTING OF TREES.
An Experienced Horticulturist Talks
About His Success In This Line
During the Past Season.

In the transplanting of orchard
trees, one should keep in mind the
form and habit of growth Of each tree.
Most trees that are transplanted
leave part Of the root system in the
ground from where they were dug. If
the roots have been mangled or torn,
they should be cut back to smooth
wood. In planting, the top should be
cut back, leaving . leader that is some
longer than the branches. If the top
should not be cut back, the leaves
would require ) so much nourishment
that the short roots could not supply
It, The drying out of the tree would
result. II the tree has a well-balanced
top, branches evenly distributed
around the main stalk, 1t will not be
very difficult matter to form good
tree; II. however, the branches are
on one side of the tree, it will be very
unshapely, and unless these are cut
back and branches allowed to form
on both sides, tha tree will soon be

CHECKING THE CUTWORMS.
It Is = Task Requiring Lot of sys-
tematic Work and Consider
able Patience.

III all gardening operations: more or
less trouble is experienced from the
attacks of cutworms. Sometimes a
good many plants are cut OF in a
single night. This trouble is made
worse by the use of barnyard manure.
which is later found to have con-
tanned the eggs that Matched into cut.
worms. The use of this manure can
not be avoided very we'll. At least it
is easier to fight. the cutworms than
to disarrange the methods of doing
the garden work. The worms gener-
ally feed near the top of the ground
and near the moisture line. In wet
weather they crawl about from one
plant to the other, out during ordinary
weather their, attacks are usually de-
livered under the surface I of the soil.
One way ~ protecting the plants
against the attacks Of these worms is
to wrap paper loosely about them at
setting time. having the paper reach
at least an inch below the ground
and two inches above. The worms do
not seem to know how to get under
or over such an obstruction. In a dry
time the wrapper should extend below
the moisture line in the soil, but be-
low that line the wor1ls will not go.
Care should be taken to have it loose
enough about the stem to leave the
plant free to develop naturally. In
some cases gardeners that have many
plants to protect use tin protectors.
Strips of tin about eight inches long
and three inches wide are used. Be-
fore the tin is bent into a circle the
ends for about one inch are folded
back to form two hooks that clasp into
each other and make the joint that
holds the cylinder together. When
the danger from worms is past these
cylinders are taken of and stored
away to be used in subsequent years.

Rio4T SIZE oF on ci4ARps.
This Writer Considers i Misplaced
Energy 70 Plant Trees on. Too
Limited Scale.

81 It IL almost as difficult and expen,
sive to care for ave acres Of orchard
trees as ut Ills for ten, and it. is mis-.
placed energy to attempt to plant or
chards too small to occupy ones full
time. As a. good deal Of modern or.
charding expense consists in the labor
of spraying and fighting insects, it
will pay better to have an orchard
large enough to warrant one in pur.
chasing the necessary apparatus to
spray properly. A large orchard also
tends to protect itself from the winds.
and in winter and summer there may
be a considerable saving from this.
The trees on the outside nearly always
produce less than those inside. 4.
If one is going to have an apple or
other fruit orchard, it is just as well
to have fine one as an ordinary kind.
The latter will not cost much more In
the end, and 1t will prove profitable,
while the former will not. Plant trees
of well-known marketable varieties
and get good specimens from reliable
dealers. Spray them every season and
protect them from pests of all kinds.
Do not let them injure themselves by
bearing heavily the first few years.
Pluck of the blossoms Of fruit, so that
no limb or branch will be strained.

deadly to good tree. Each year set
out new trees in the place of any that
may be injured or killed. Do not havs
ragged orchard, but try to make
every tree come up to the standard.
This can be easily done II one has or
binary intelligence and will give. the
time to the work. Use only hoed cropl
at first in the apple orchard. Wheat,
oats and timothy are bad for the trees
They take too much from the soil, bue
hoed crops, seeding the land to clover
or cow-peas every few years, will pro-
duce excellent results.-American Gull
