MuLcHING ORCHARDS.


Much discussion has been held in
recent years in regard to the different
methods of treating orchards. At the
meeting of the Michigan Horticul-
tural Society Professor Green advo-
Gated grass mulch. He cited or
chards of successful growers in Ohio
and New York tnat had followed the
grass mulch method for a number OF
years and had found that it was more
satisfactory to them than the cultural
method. The method is to allow the
space between the trees to grow UP to
grass and clip 1t with scythe or now
ing machine as often as it seems nee
essary and leave the cut grass to lay
on the ground forming mulch. The
ground under the trees is covered
with some straw Or any mulching
material. This prevents the trees
coming in dlrect contact with the
grass. In a billy section of south
ern Chic one grower found that he
could afford to buy straw for S. per
ton, draw it over the hills eight miles
and cover his entire orchard, as the
ground was so poor he could not start
grass. The professor believes that
it will pay any grower to buy SIS and
Sc per ton straw for mulching the
orchard.
II. one is contemplating following
this method he would do well to set
the field while in sod, for if hilly the
sod will prevent washing, the soil IN
grass constantly grows richer if none
of the grass is drawn off and it adds
humus and increases the water hold
ing capacity of the SOIL One would
do better not to crop the field given
over to the planting of the young or
chard, as it takes from the soil plant
food which will be needed later on by
the trees themselves. Then the crops
are of minor Importance except for
the first few years; after that the
shade Of the trees makes the crop so
small that the trouble is scarcely
worth while. Cultivation, too, burns
up the humus.
The advantages of the grass mulch
as enumerated by Professor Green
are that it conseryes moisture;
shades the soil and thus makes it
richer (this is due to the action of
certain bacteria which cannot work
in light); saves labor; easier to get
orchard started; grow trees with
lower heads because 1t is unneces-
sary to drive under them; this makes
picking. easier, prevents wind from
having so good chance to blow them
down and saves apples from bruising
so badly when: they fall from the
trees, as they do not fall SO far,
Trees seem to grow as well and bet
ter than in cultivated soils. Exam
piles were given of young trees in
orchards where the grass method was
practiced. showing that the growth
was as vigorous as 1t ought to be.
In the five orchards of the Ohio sta
ton the grass mulch proved to in
fluence much better growth than
the adjoining orchards receiving cul-.
tivation. Trees 16 years old. set 80
feet apart, had tops that would touch
either side Of buggy driven between
the rows. These orchards bear bet
ter than the cultivated ones, often
earlier-Northern Spy trees bearing
at seven years of age, and more regu-
larly. In dry seasons the grass mulch
conserves moisture better. The APP
pies hang on the trees longer and
when stored keep better.

SECRET OF DANISH BUTTER
MAKING.
Denmark exports large quantities
of butter which finds ready sale at
good prices. most of it going to Eng
land.
The following from the Farm Jour.
nal, shows the pains they take to en-
sure an equally good quality at all
times.
The Danes love their COWS and give
them every comfort; and the cows,
not to be outdone in devotion, do their
very best. All the stables visited
were fireproof, had concrete floors,
and there was water so arranged that
everything could be washed.
Each stall had a tablet with the
name of the COW, date of birth, pedi-
gree, etc. There, was also a slate on
which daily record was kept.
If a COW is sick she is at once sep
arated from the other animals and
taken to the hospital. 1t is a crime
in Denmark to use or sell milk from
sick COW.
The milking is done by women who
are not allowed to wear sleeves below
the elbow. They wear white linen
caps and aprons, and must not only
wash the bag of the COW, but also
wash their own hands before milking,
each time.
Everything fed the COW is prepared
with great care-the quality and
quantity is known as nearly as posi-
BILE in the pastures every weed is
pulled and the COW is not permitted
to eat anything that win in any way
faint the milk.
The cream is carefully Pasteur.
lied.
In short, the secret of Danish but
ter-making is perfect cleanliness and
eternal vigilance, but the result Is a
product that will go through the
tropics or the circumpolar region and
come out standing up.
