the two well balanced, as fertilizer for fruit crops has long been recognized.
 Applying Fertilizer.
 The questions of how and when to apply will hoy to be determined largely by observation and experience. In some sections of the country there Is now practice of fertilizing orchards by what is known as the mulch system. The plan is to sow clover or peas in the orchard and now these at intervals and leave the crop on the land; keeps 1t moist, keeps more even temperature and the fruit larger and prevents falling of the fruit This mulch is all the while decay ing and furnishing the very best of plant food. This plan, however, should not be brought Into use until the trees begin bearing or have become too large to allow the crops before mentioned to be grown among them.
 Another very good plan for the bearing orchard is to SOW to COW peas. and turn in hogs to eat the peas turning them on when the seed In the first pods begin to ripen. Sheep and calves may also be turned in to eat the pea vines The vines will store on their roots the nitro gen needed while the fruit and vines eaten by the stock and turned by them back to the soil twill furnish a large part of the fertilizer needed Should the hogs root holes about the orchard these
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-09-08

should be filled and leveled over by the use of a good smoothing harrow after the crops have bee neaten off.
 There are a great many ways by which the trees may be fertilized and the far mer should use the plan that will bring the quickest results and that will be most economical. That the orchard needs fer tllizing as long as it lasts is now fully recognized fact. It is a mistaken idea to think an orchard will keep up and grow fine fruit without fertilizers.
 Pruning.
 As the trees grow they will need care. full pruning; cutting out the surplus in- side growth and keeping the long limbs clipped back. This work of pruning should always be performed by the use of a sharp knife and clippers made for the purpose. Stock should never be allowed to do the pruning. Cattle pruning of trees hase been the destruction of many orchards. The trees cost too much to be used as cattle food. So one of the finest things to do in preparing to plant an or. ehard is to fence the land so as to pro- tect the trees from the stock. As for tho time for pruning: Prune when the knife is sharp and the trees need 1t. It IS a nice matter to know just when and how to properly prune fruit trees. yet 1t is one of the most important item in successful commercial fruit growing.

sons growth and the growth of the past season be fully matured.
 A little forthought, precaution and good judgment exercised along these lines will save vast amount of loss and yexation, and as stated the planting of a commer- cial orchard Is one of too great impor- tance to bear making mistakes. Few men live to plant many orchards so the best plan Is to start right and keep right.
 Fertilizers.
 Where the soil has been fully prepared and fertilized as directed in a former chapter, the amount of fertilizer and the work of keeping up the orchard to a high state of fruit production will be a comparatively small matter. This work of enriching the soil before planting is one of great importance as the work can then be performed so much faster and cheaper There is nothins so valu- able as a fertilizer as barn yard manure. well routed and thoroughly worked intc the soil The liberal use of this fertilizer coupled with the growing of one or two crops of COW peas or red clover will give a soil that will grow trees to per- lection.
 But the orchard will need continual fer tilizing. The three clements of fertilizers gre nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. The trees when young will need a liberal supply of nitrogen to induce wood growth. Nitrogen being the highest priced of the three named, can be largely supplied by the growing of the legumes mentioned. When the orchard comes into bearing then applications of phosphates and pot ash may be made to give to the fruit size solidity and color, and to produce even ripening.
 In these top dressings use according to the soil and requirements of the trees, 750 to 1500 pounds of fertilizer contain ing nitrogen per cent; available phos~ phorc acid per cent; potash T per cent, which may be obtained from either of the following mixtures:
 No. l. 9o to 1Sc bounds nitrate of soda; 2SO to 56O pounds dissolved bone; no to 220 pounds of muriate of potash. No 2. 225 pounds to 450 pounds cotton seed neal 160 to 320 pounds acid phos- phate; no to 220 pounds sulphate of pot ash.
 No g. 150 to 300 pounds of Tried blood; 400 to 800 pounds bone meal; 11O to 20 pounds sulphate of muriate of potash Where the peas and clover have been used freely. they will supply the greater l.part If not all of the nitrogen needed. One will have to judge of his matter by the growth of the trees There Is prac- ticaily no difference in. the muriate and sulphate of potash. Either may be used and the same result obtained. The value of both potash and acid phosphate. ol
