THE ORIENTAL POPPY.

This variety of poppy, taken as a
family. is remarkably attractive and
shows plants capable of being utilized
in gardens and lawns to a much great
er extent than they are at the present
time. The above variety gives grand
color and effect. There are two varie-
ties which should have special atten-
ton. They are the Braceteatum and
the Oriental. The first above variety
has the advantage of being perennial.
with its long seasons of bloom in early
summer. glorious color and large size.
With its full and bold effect. its rich
green foliage, the plant is well worthy
of a place in any collection of her
baceous plants.
The flower, as we grow them on our
place. ranges from six to eight inches
in diameter. and a dark and deep scar
let. and generally show deep purple
spots on each petal. We want to urge
on our readers to try. if possible, to
procure plant of the above species.
Some writer in speaking of the great
beauty of the flower garden of Ann
Hathaway's cottage. the home of
Shakespeare at Stratford-on-Avon,
dwelt largely on the poppies and lark
spear that grew there. stating that
they combined to create a wonderful
color picture. dazzling yet harmoni-
ously beautiful" The poppy alluded

1t is now the busiest time of the year
for the farmer and his horses and the
care of the horse should not be neglect
ed. A proper currying and brushing
daily pays. 1t removes the filth from
the surface of the skin. and improves
the coat; and most of all the horse
needs is proper food. Corn, when fed
exclusively. is unfit for "a work horse.
There is nothing better than good oats.
When the farmers learn the difference
in the values of different grains, this
country will have better horses. For
horse hay. timothy with little clover
is just what is wanted. The horse
should be watered regularly and not
worked to excess. Do not try to do
three days work in one. for it never
pays.

Many farmers fail to realize how
much easier and cheaper it would be
to do more of the required cultivation
before the crop is planted Begin your
preparations early enough so that
when you have land ready to plant YOU
can leave it alone for week or more,
and then harrow and cultivate the sur
face over again. One crop of weeds
will thus be dstroyed at a light ex-
pense and the surface will be brought
into finer tilth and better prepared to
receive the seed. On lands liable to
suffer from drought this process may
be profitably eXt-nded for weeks or
months before planting the crop.

Nothing wastes so much time on
farm as lack of system No matter
what sort of work is to be done it pays
to plan it all beforehand and make
provision for everything that may
arise. Don't wait till the last minute
to know that machines or tools or har-
ness or whatever else is needed, are
ready. Get ready before you are about
to start, and no time will be lost.

cuLT1vAT1NG ORCHARDS.

An old fruit grower says it is the
safest plan to cultivate an orchard at
least five years after it is planted.
But" says the general farmer, whose
main interests are in other crops, Il
do not raise fruit for sale except Incl
dentally and | cannot afford the tirle
from my more important money crops
to regularly cultivate my orchard, un-
less there is some crops besides the
fruit which will pay me for the time
and labor" While cultivating the or
chard per Sc, is the ideal plan, there
are certain minor crops, which might
be denominated orchard crops, whose
cultivation does not interfere with the
development of the trees, and under
the above conditions which the farm
er urges, 1t is highly advisable to
plant them between the tree rows rath-
er than leave the orchard entirely
without cultivation. Deep plowing too
near the trees should be avoided, bat
until they attain their full develop
ment, there is ample space in the mid
die OF the rows for corn, cotton, ground
peas, sweet or Irish potatoes, melons
any crop in fact which requires con-
slant cultivation. Grain of any kind
should never be sown in an orchard.
on penalty of permanent injury to the
trees, not only because these crops pre-
vent cultivation just at the season the
trees most need it, but because they
take from the soil the very elements
most needed for their proper develop
ment. Any of the crops named may
be cultivated. without injury to the
trees, provided always that the young
tree roots are protected against injury
from deep plowing; the plowing near
the trees should always be shallow.
and the limbs protected. as far as pos
sible from mutilation or other injury.
After the trees have attained tf cir
growth, a crop of late COW peas is an
excellent enricher of the soil. When
the trees reach the bearing stage, the
orchard may be sown in grass or
clover, If the sod is not allowed to
stand more than three or four years.
Hogs and poultry are good scavengers
in an orchard, as they destroy many Of
the insect enemies, and also the fallen
fruit, which is often harbor for pro-
tecting and developing myriads of
these pests. Cattle and horses should
never be allowed to run in an orchard
We have seen one horse destroy in
few moments enough in value to pay
for his food for a month.
