NATURES BACKGROUND.

Thousands of farmers will arrange TINS
spring to improve the grounds around the
farm home for the teachings along THIS
line which have gone on for a number Oh
years in all periodicals reaching the home
are having their effect. If the farmer
makes one mistake more frequently than
another in this preparation of the ground
tor a lawn it is in planning to let the
growth which IS there, usually a portion
Of a meadow, remain without any attempt
to improve it, a most serious mistake. n
hrst thing to do, in the spring, IN the max
Ing Of this lawn is to ham dig as many
weeds as possible; then go over the entire
plot and fill in any low spots with good
garden soil packing it down firmly. Get
the entire plot as level as possible though
not of necessity fiat. Then, before the
grass starts very much go over the plot
with a sharp tooth rake and scratch 1t
thoroughly; then SOW some good lawn
seed, buying a mixture from some re-
liable scotsman. Then roll the entire plot.
During the first season, if the growth is
mainly of the new grass from the seed
Ing, do not cut very close. Use a lawn
mower and go over it every ten days or
two weeks according to the growth. Do
not break into the lawn any more than is
necessary for the purpose Of setting trees
or shrubs, especially the latter; locate
these along the borders and in masses IN
the corners in order to obtain the best
effect. If towering plants are to be
grown locate these, as a rule in front OF
the shrubs and along the space between
the lawn and the veranda. Thus one has
the lawn for a background and the re-
suits, in all ways, will be much more sat

NO REMEDY BUT SPRAYING.

Several nice sounding schemes for get
ting the better of the San Jose scale W.
been suggested, some of them sincerely
and some of them by frauds who had a
powder of some kind for injection into the
trunk of the tree. One writer suggest
that If inexpensive trees are planted
around the orchard 1t is desired to protect,
the scale will be kept off the more yalu-
able trees. This is nonsense and the plan
will only result in providing additional
food for the scale. Any fruit grower try
ing this plan on any considerable scale
would not only fail in Accomplishing the
desired results but would, in some states,
lay himself liable to prosecution for en-
couraging the pest. Up to this time no
remedy for the San Jose scale has yet
been discovered except spraying and
spraying persistently and thoroughly sea-
son after season. AS for the powder and
other things that are to be injected Into
the trunk Of the tree this is plainly fraud
and unworthy a moments consideration

SUMMER USE OF GRAINS,

The feeding problem, in some sections,
Is quite as formidable in the summer as
in the winter and this Is particularly the
case where the feeding is largely donc in
the barn. which, by the way IS becoming
more popular every year among dairy
men. What grain one shall use depends
largely upon the methods which individ-
ual feeders have found most profitable in
the past but corn, in the summer ration,
must he-sparingly used. The stock foods
or the concentrated grains, purchased al
ready mixed ought also to be handled
carefully and particularly so when little
or no pasture is given the animals. Where
pasture is cheap and grains high in price
1t is questionable f It pays to barn feed
during the summer, but whore pasture
must be had on high price land which
might be used to good advantage for some
other crop the experiment of barn feed
ing is well worth trying, although, as
stated, what grains are fed must be deter
mined by individual conditions, and. in
any event, be carefully done.

TREATING TREES FROM NURSER-
LEG

Often times the trees and shrubs and
plants received from nurseries are not
packed in the best possible manner and
dry out on the road. They may be brought
back to a proper condition., unless they are
too badly wilted. by "puddl:ng" the roots.
This is best done by selecting a convcn-
lent pot where the ground is rather
clayey in its nature, digging a hole sufti-
GENTLY large to take in the roots Of the
largest tree to be set and, with more clay
or other SOL if clay is not obtainable, and
water make a huge mud puddle. Into this
dip roots of the trees and thoroughly coy
er them with the mud allowing them to re-
main there as long as possible. If many
trees are to be set it will be a good plan,
after taking them from the puddle, to lay
them In a trench, at an angle of As de-
grees, and cover the roots with moist
earth, allowing them to remain in this
trench for two or three days and wen
thoroughly Wctting the SOL which covers
the roots If it is very dry. This treat
ment will start the trees In good shape
and If when they are set plenty of water
is used there should be no doubt but what
they will start off and grow quickly. 1t
pays to do this with trees or shrubs Of any
kind particularly If they come from a con-
siderable distance.

START THE PIGS RIGHT,

The man who starts off his pigs on tn,
corn ration about as soon as he can after
they are weaned is laying in a store Of
trouble for himself later. There Is a trou-
BILE known to swine raisers as contracted
stomach which results from an improper
ration. Ihe animal is apparently 'otf It's
iced but the fact is, the ration has been
so poorly balanced that the stomach has
not grown with the growth Of the rest Of
the body. If the young pigs are to be al
lowed a range they will do more or less
roofing, eating of soil and sod: as this Is
their nature it will net hurt them but If
they are placed where one does not wish
the sod ~up-rooted then the animals must
be r1nged. If middlings and Oil meal are
introduced with the corn ration there
would be considerably less trouble. Some
or the stock foods on the market have
their greatest value to the swine raiser
VINO does not feed a balanced ration and If
these stock foods can be obtained practi-
cally free from drugs or condiments thew
are very valuable in such cases.
