ing out near the surface in hot seasons,
The objection deserves attention, but
it is easily met by mulchng in warm
weather, with a good depth Of strawy
manure. If most fruit trees had the
soil beneath their roots drained in this
way there would be few moss covered
stems to be seen in any orchard. Whea
surface feeding by summers mulch and
otherwise Is depended upon, there Is
little fear of the roots striking down
into the ground. The feeders of the
tree will go where the plant food is
found. There are thousands Of trained
peach, apricot, plum and pear trees IN
existence, but few trained apple trees
Why? Instead of regulating the
branches in fan shape form all that is
necessary is to train them straight
from the sides Of the stem TO the right
and left, Usually at the height of the
season the branches seem to carry as
many fruits as leaves. The form of
tree advised is generally spoken of as

CROPS WITH CLOVER.

Those who have grown clover sue
cessfully know that the crop requires
considerable moisture and the lack Of
moisture in the soil is usually at the
bottom of the killing Of clover, says
the indianapolis News, II is an al
most universal custom to sow what is
known as a nurse crop with clover,
Whether the practice is right or wrong
depends upon conditions, and these
conditions are the quantity of humus
in the soil, which enables it to con-
serve the moisture, and the amount Of
moisture taken from the soil by the
nurse crop. Just as the foolish or
chardist expects n crop of apples and
crop of hay or grain from the same
soil so the average farmer expects a
crop of rye or oats and crop of clo-
yer from the same soil. The nurse
crop thus becomes the robber crop, for
it takes from the soil the moisture
needed to make the proper growth of
clover.
If one wants a crop Of rye or oats,
then one should leave the clover out,
but If the clover is wanted then the
seeding of the nurse crop should be
very light, only enough to furnish the
necessary protection to the clover. A
bushel or even less an acre of rye or
oats is sufficient for seeding with the
clover; then if VIC occasionally plow
under n good crop of clover we are
adding humus to the soil which will
enable it to do much for future cropss

Inocuiatiug Land For Cowpeas.

+. A, s., Richmond Va, writes:
would like some suggestions as 10 what
would be the best way TO inoculatc
800 acres for cowpeas,
Answer: Peas often do fairly well
without incubation, as the seed Is
large and very often covered with
the bacteria which produce the noduleS
for this particular crop. When grown
on poor land the first year, however,
they are likely TO show large number
Of nodules, and therefore incubation

area, but 1t would cost you consider.
able, and it is likely that you could ar
range TO get few loads Of earth from
field which grew the peas success
fully last year, but you should be GER
tain that the peas formed large num-
her Of nodules, Get about 200 pounds
OF earth for each acre You intend to
SOW In peas and mix with the seed and
drill together, or you could broadcast
the earth over the land and then go
ahead and seed the peas, One hun
dred pounds Of earth are often consid-
cred sufficient. but II is better and
safer, as a rule. to use 200 pounds.
You could probably get the earth nt
lower cost than We could furnish you
the material, and it is doubtful If we
could undertake to furnish enough for
600 acres as the demand on MS for
small amounts is very great, and We
are having great difficulty in getting
out enough bacteria for the principal
Ieguminous crops TO supply the needs
of the small farmer. Soil incubation
is safe and is recognized as effective
and under the circumstances 1 feel
justified in advising strongly the i'm
poptance OF iDOculating your land for

HARVESTING APPLES.

The early crop of apples suffers
more in the picking than the winter
sorts. Growers have learned from
hard experience that it does not pay 10
be careless in harvesting and shipping
winter apples, 1t Is economy TO give
the most careful attention to them
from the time they are picked until
they reach market. Otherwise they rot
and decay, and when the returns come
in there is disappointment.
1t is n pity that growers did not real
ize that the same is true of the summer
apples. Windfalls are selling to-day
for about half what the hand-picked
early apples are quoted. But this is
not the only difference. The windfalls
sell slowly, and they rot rapidly, be.
cause they are bruised and specked be.
fore they leave the farm. Then when
received they have to be sorted out
and ten per cent. of them are thrown
away as worthless, If they do not sell
Immediately it is necessary to give
them another sorting in few days,

Quoted?
Windfalls should never go to a dis
tant market If there is no home de-
mand 1t is better to feed them to the
pigs, send them to the cider mill, or to
do something else with them. Only
band-pIcked early apples are worth
anything in the city markets, and these
should be gathered as carefully as the
winter sorts. They should he picked
carefully, wiped dry and packed snug
ly in barrels with some ventilation in
them. Packed in tlghtbarrels they will
decay quicker in hot weather. II they
are fancy fruit. it will pay even to
wrap each fruit separately in paper.
There is just as much difference in
the prices for summer apples as in the
winter apples, but most farmers have
never been taught to believe SO. To
most Of them the early apples are only
an Indifferent sort Of crop anyway; but
If raised and marketed properly they
should be made to pay as much as
those shipped in cold weather.-S. w.

A VARIETY IN THE sILo.

With a good silo with convene
arrangements for filling and the requ
site amount of help, filling a silo
not very long or d!sagreeable job.
1t is hard work while it last., as the
crops TO be handled are green and
heavy, but it requires only few days
to fill an ordinary silo, and the work
is done; the crop secured and ready for
use when wanted, and the fields where
grown clear and ready for the plow as
soon as desirable After years Of
growing fodder corn, to be cut,
shocked, cured and handled over two
or three times before being fed, We
find a great advantage in having Il
sllo, says a correspondent of the Mas
sachusetts Ploughman,
This year n portion Of my corn crop
was pretty much of a failure on ac-
count Of the seed not coming up well.
Finally the land was rather late sown
thckly to oats. As a result, there was
a mixed crop Of oats and corn, and
quite. heavy yield.
AS the season has been quite re-
markable for a second growth of grass
or rowen, several loads of this were
run through the cutter and put in the
bottom Of the silo, where it is hoped it
will keep all right for another spring.
Next came the oats and corn. The
oats were lodged and some Of the
corn was tall and lodge. II was sue
cessfully cut in the field with a now
ing machine, going only one way. 1t
made pretty heavy work, but one man
loaded 1t on a low-down wagon as fast
as 1t could be cut and run into the
sllo.
But it went in, and We shall watch
with some interest the outcome an
other winter. On top Of this the corn
will go, pretty good growth and
good quality, and the weight will press
down the mass underneath.
II does certainly appear strange thar
heavy crops from so much land can
be compressed into such comparatively
small space as the average sil0. That
is one Of the special advantages OF the
sllo system. Once stored In a good
silo, and the crops are safely housed,
doing away with much hard and dis.
agreeable labor, while the work Of
feeding is much less, and the per cent.
OF waste and loss is reduced to the
least amount.

sire TO seed in alfalfa. For the past
four years | have been seeding this
down 10 crimson clover in the fall,
turning this under in the spring and
planting corn. The land is medium
stifT with clay subsoil. would like
your advice Low to proceed TO get the
land in alfalfa. l have another piece
of land that has only been in cultiva-
tion since last year. Last year it was
seeded to cowpeas and in the fall 10
crimson clover wheat. rye and oats.
Would you advise seeding this land to
alfalfaY
Answer-It would be well for you to
turn under the crimson clover on the
land intended for alfalfa, plow it down
deeply work carefully. and seed 20
.rOwpeaS as soon as possible. Plow un.
tier these about the first Of September.
and snbsoll at the same time. going
down as deeply as possible behind the
turning plow You can not get too
much vegetable matter and nitrogen
in the soil for alfalfa nor make the
land too rich. When you sow the COW.
peas you might make an application
of 200 pounds Of sixteen per cent acid
phosphate and fifty pounds of muriate
of potash, and repeat this application
when you seed the alfalfa. Sow at the
rate Of twenty pounds of seed and in.
oculate either by soil or artificial cul-
tBres as you see at. After the alfalfa
rs mp a light application of nitrate Of
soda, say, City pounds per acre, will
be beneficial Do not clip or pasture
abe alfalfa during the fall If a good
stand is obtained it may he cut for hay
the next year when just coming into
bloom. If it seems slckly and is vel.
I0wlsh in appearance clip frequently
throughout the summer.
The other piece Of land which yon
Intend to Put in alfalfa should be
treated somewhat the same. If 1t is
poor 1t Is hardly worth while to sow
alfalfa on it until il has been made
rich and freed Of weeds, for weeds con-
stitute one Of the most serious draw
backs to alfalfa culture. II you do
seed to alfalfa sow the cowpeas at
once and plow them under and treat rs
already outlined. If conditions are uH-
favorable for seeding IN the fall II
would he better to again sow the land
to crimson clover, or some other win
ter growing legume and break up early
in the spring and seed the alfalfa at
that time. If the ground is dry and
the season backward the alfalfa will
not germinate ana make a good stand
before cold weather comes on, and it is
hardly worth while to seed it, as it will
be almost certain to result in failure
