Our Way.

Twas interested in reading the article
in the Farmer of the doings on the edi-
tors farm up to May 10 and as he
touches on the manner of applying
dressing, etc., it leads me to say by
being backed up by so good authority,
word about my way OF applying 1t. AS
have ''the stout team and heavy mare,
commence this way. AS soon as the
hay is removed from the ground intend
ed to plant the following year, hitch
cnto the harrow, cutaway or wheel, and
twice or three times week through the
hot weather 90 over the ground until
all grass roots are dead and brown. Ii
the ground is full of witchgrass, as most
of mine is, it will kill large part OF it
and the top will be well mulched and
mellow. Then when cooler weather
comes, turn it in and apply the dressing
and you will have a mellow seed bed;
mellow enough for carrots or roots, corn
or potatoes. think the nearer the sur.
face we apply the dressing, we'll worked
in. the better, for as the editor says, the
strength works down fast enough, and
blowing in manure under thick sward
of grass roots looks to me like planting
crops on a board with the fertilizer un-
der it. This is Natures way of fertil-
izing and the nearer We pattern from her
the better. l admit that good crops can
be, and are raised by plowing in the
dressing, but have tried both ways, and
until converted to other methods shall
continue as above. Don't fail to harrow
two or three times after it is narrowed
very mellow for you cannot work the
soil too much.-Subscriber in Maine

The Fruit Garden In June.

Cultivate trees and bushes and apply
wood ashes.
Cut out old and dead wood of bushes,
train the rest and pinch out tips OF
Young shoots when two and half feet
high, so that they will make compact
bushes next year.
Jar plum and cherry trees in the early
morning when the curculios are torpid
and let the chickens eat them, or you
will have wormy fruit.
Spray all fruit trees and berry bushes
once or twice in June with the Bordeaux
arsenic compound-never while trees are
in bloom.
If a strawberry plant cOllapses dig
ND the hill and kill the white grubs.
Pinch off suckers from fruit and Or
namental trees.
Pinch out lateral growths of grape
vines to one or two eyes, 50 that all
clusters will have chance at the
light.
If you see gum or sawdust near the
bare of peach or plum trees dig out the
borers, or they will kill your trees.
The things that do the most for Us
we do the least for-especially trees and
shrubs. As fast as they flower we
ought to prune, cultivate, fertilize and
mulch every one. The mulch may
save watering them in drought. Fol-

Retter Outlook for Beef.

Present conditions of the beef trade,
both cattle and meat, bear q measure OF
encouragement to the industry of beef
growing. Whether the recent enhanced
price of meat to the consuming public
was the cause of an advance in the
value of cattle here in the East, or
whether the reverse is true, certain it is
that the price of good dressing steers,
and other fat cattle, at slaughtering
points is such at the present time as to
hold out a measure of encouragement to
growers. Five to six cents pound, live
weight, at market points, for fair to
choice steers two or three years of age
leaves margin to the grower that will
compare favorably with the profits OF
the dairy.
Skim milk, hay and pasture are the
chief factors involved in the raising and
growing of steers, all of which are plen-
ty on most farms and not costly feeds on
any. Judging from the past few years
experience, of course, no one can tell
how long present prices of cattle and
their meat will continue, but at present
there is pretty good money in well bred
steers and brighter outlook ahead than
has been the lot of growers in the past
few years.-Maine Farmer.
