SOIL FOR FRUIT TREES.
The Kind Best Adapted for the Growth of the Plum-Well-Drain
 Soil Needed.


 Prof. F. A. Waugh says: The notion Used to be that plums preferred a heavy. clay soil This is still true for certain classes of plums, particularly the Domesticas and Damsons; but some other plams thrive in other soils, so that by choosing the varieties best adapted to particular situations plums may be grown almost anywhere.
 Even light, sandy soils are suitable to the Japanese varieties and some hy: brids. Taking all kinds of plums to- gether. the best soil is that which would be suitable for apples, and the general rule regarding apples is that they will thrive on any soil well suited to pota- toes. A loose, deep. gravelly soil. with an open subsoil. is the best for all or chard trees in this climate.
 This is what should be chosen where 1t is available Where it cannot be had almost any soil will do. providing only that 1t is well drained. It must not hold water either in summer or winter. If 1t is inclined to do so. it must be thor oughly drained. preferably by closed stone or tile underdrains, before the trees are planted.

Packing Apples for Export.

Importers in. England say that apples for that country should be packed as
 tight as possible and be undamaged by frost. The Canadian minister of agri-
 culture has given notice of intention to favor a resolution to amend the act re- specting the packing of various con- modities so as to provide that when apples are packed in Canada for export for selling by the box. they shall be packed in good and strong boxes of sea soned wood. the inside dimensions of which shall not be less than ten inches in depth. II inches in width and 20
 inches in length. representing as far as possible 2.200 cubic inches. Provision is also made for penalty of 25 cents on each box of apples not packed in accord ance with this regulstion.-W. R. Hollo- way, Consul, Halifax.

recommended by Stark Bros., the big western nurserymen and orchardists, is to remove alternate strips of bark one or two inches wide as shown in the ac- companying illustration, says the Farm and Home.
 Do this work in June and new bark will form astonishingly quick withor injury to the trees. Yet check will be given the strong flow of sap. causing the formation of fruit buds. The cut should be made pointed at both ends and may extend from the ground to branches almost. or only a matter of few inches.

The Gathering of Fruit.

Do not gather the fruit of yo< trees by throwing sticks and stones among the branches, and do not permit anyone to do so. The proper way is to use a ladder. and if there is still fruit that cannot bs reached. get good fruit picker, a handy device, easily made and great helper. By heading trees low. no great difficulty is experienced in gathering fruit from the topmost branches. No up-to-dats fruit grower now permits high head ed" tree to grow on his farm.

Fruit for All,

It used to be said tbut that was a long time ago). that the apple was the fruit of the common people. the orange the fruit of the wealthy and the grape the fruit for the king. Now all fruits have become well-nigh universal. The orange now is about as cheap as the apple. and the grape is cheaper than either apple or orange.
