FRUIT TREE NoURIsHMENT.
What Is Taken Out Of the Ground In
Growing and Maturing
the Fruit.

The Cornell experiment station bull
letin No. 103 on Soil Depletion in Re-
spect to the Care of Fruit Trees, shows
that the plant food contained in 20
crops Of apples of Is bushels per tree.
and 35 trees per. acre, when the leaves
that are formed are also taken into the
calculation, amounts to 1887 pounds or
nitrogen, $40 pounds of phosphoric acid
and 1885 pounds of potash. Prof. Voor-
hees shows that 20 years continuous
cropping with wheat, assuming an aver
age crop Of Is bushels per acre, and
seven pounds of straw to three bushels
of wheat, would remove $50 pounds Of
nitrogen, 211 pounds Of phosphoric acid
and 324 pounds of potash. We can thus
compare the results of 20 years cropping
Of apples, after the production of trees.
capable of bearing such crops, has taken
large amounts of plant food from the
soil, for the 20 years cropping Of apples
has removed more than twice as much
nitrogen, half as much again of phos-
phoric acid, and three times as much
potash as the wheat crops during the
same period. 1t Is evident, then, that
an orchard will far more rapidly deplete
the fertility of the soil than the con-
tinuous cropping In wheat. Any farmer
will understand that 20 years continu-
Gus cropping In wheat would be bad
farming and would result in soil deple-
ton. How much more then does the
continuous cropping in apples deplete
the soil. Burn the hardwood Of an apple
tree and you will fully understand the
amount of potash removed from the
soil in the wood alone

VENTILATION IN DAIRY BARN
System Which Will Render Stable
Which Is Not Too Old Per-
fectly Sanitary.

Many farmers do not seem to appre-
ciate the difference between ventilation
and sanitation. There is little use OF
spending money for ventilating fiues in
an old, filthy, plank-floor barn. Usually
in such places liquid manure has soaked
through the floors for years, while the
ceilings are open and covered with cob
webs. Such a stable as this gets change
of air, but the filth is SO great that 1t Is
always offensive. Ventilation is not an
antidote for uncleanliness.
Probably nine out Of ten stables feel
quickly the effect of strong wind or
lowering of temperature. Nothing ex-
cept thorough insulation or double walls
will remedy this trouble. The cement

and outside walls, believe it a safe
thing. Several years use of henhouse
so constructed leads me to advise it for
a COW stable. With concrete floor and
wall there will be no trouble from rats.
About seven pounds of water are
thrown off daily from the skin and lungs
of an averaged-sized cow. Therefore,
there is large volume Of water to carry
out through the fiues. The secret, says
HE. Cook, in American Agriculturist,
is to keep this moisture In the form of
vapor until 1t reaches the open air. Car
rying away moisture is not the only
function of perfect ventilation. If the
moisture is removed, carbonic acid gas
will go with 1t.
The principle of the King system OF
ventilation is shown in the illustrations
given herewith. Fig. exhibits the out
flow fues, and Fig. 2 the intakes. Ihave
When these barns ere built supposed
that no other form was practical. OBJ
servation has taught me that IL the
principles of construction from the floor
to point above the highest ridge of the
barn are followed, it will make little or
no difference whether the fiues are
placed outside or inside, providing they
are sufficiently insulated to prevent the
cooling of the air current within them.
Wood, being q non-conductor OF
heat. is the most satisfactory material
for making fiues. In constructing them
within the building, l used only ono
solid wall, made Of two thicknesses Of
match boards with tar paper between.
The wall was perfectly tight and no side
air currents could form, interfering
with the circulation. These fiues must
be as we'll built as a chimney. In fact
the whole principle works like great
box stove, with perfect draft and pipe.
