smiling plenty, stream of beauty
and poetry to every visitor. To the
jewellers in Western Germany it is
nothing less than what the Nile is to
the Egyptians-the highway of
commerce and the pillar of prosperity.
And what prosperity Providence has
poured out over this happy plain! 1t
is as if it had set itself the task of
creating second Eden. The climate
is, from an agricultural point of view,
all that could be desired. The soil is
one mass of fertility. Its wealth is
evidenced everywhere. Trees, gardens
and fields bear richly and almost
without labor. The magnificent
avenues of Walnut trees which line
the road, the castles and ruined
Minister'S, its legends of romance, all
tend towards the fame of the great and
historical Black Forest.

wrong Tine Of Year to bic.

Some forty or more years ago there
resided in West Gloucester, Mass,
the parents of a member of one of
Boston's large jewelry firms. After
much solicitation the son finally in
duced his mother to abandon her hum
BILE home for his palatial one, but no
amount of persuasion could make the
father come. Not long after the
change the old lady died, in the
month of July, and word was sent to
her husband. The old gentleman took
the letter to a neighbor, saying:
"Wife's dead: can't go anyway: right
in haying time. Why couldn't she
have gone in january"

Soil for plum trees should be well

ed. We have seen hillside soil so i'm
pervious to water that hole on the
slope would hold water for many days.
1t is quite evident that when trees are
set in such soil the excavations for the
placing of the trees results in holes
that, though filed with soil, hold the
water around the trees for long time
and keep the roots from doing the
work Nature intended they should do.

Mulching Trees With Grass.

II some parts of the country or
cnardtsts are following the practice of
leaving the orchard in sod and mulch.
SOD. That is, if the sod be blue grass
the grass is allowed to grow to GER
tain height, say to foot, and is then
cut and allowed to lie under the trees
and rot or dry up, as the case may be-.
The idea of the orchardist is to keep
all the fertility in the soil except what
the frtit takes out.
We tail to see the wisdom of follow
ing this course. If the orchard is left
in sod and the grass moved why not
take the grass off and feed it to stock
and thus get the good Of the carbon
that is in it. There are certain parts
of plants that do not get back into the
soil at all. The grass Is worth more to
feed than for manure. If the grass
were made into hay and the hay sold
the price realized would bring back to
the orchard much greater bulk than
would the rotting of the grass.
We have seen timothy growing in
orchards, and within mile timothy
hay was selling for $12 a ton. Barn.
yard manure could be bought within
the same distance at dollar load,
delivered. The yield of timothy in the
orchard was at least ton to the acre.
The farmer had his help, which
worked the year round, and the max
ing and marketing of the hay would
cost no more than if it were not mar
keted. In this case the farmer moved
his orchard, made the timothy into
hay, fed it to his cows and put the
manure back on his land. Another
year he did the same with the clover
that was growing on the same orchard
area We are a little doubtful about
the cXpediency of moving land
around the trees and letting the grass
rot
In some cases, too, We have seen
trees so far apart that the grass, in
stead of rotting, would dry up and go
into the air in large part during the
hot days of summer. If there is any
good reason for following the pracsice
OF matching with grass. as it is caiied,
we would like to hear from some OF
our readers on the matter.

Sprouts on Pear Trees.

Sprouts on pear tree7 are generally
cut off. One grower says that they
should not be cut off, but should be al.
lowed to grow. He declares that some
of his trees treated in this way bore
better crops than those that had the
sprouts cut Off severely. We are doubt.
full of the wisdom of letting the
sprouts grow Nearly all experience
seems to show that pear trees as well
as others should be kept pruned to
prevent running to wood. Is a sprout
any more sacred than any other kind
of a woody growth? We would like to
have the opinion of some Of our read
ers on this point.

Soil for Plum Trees.

1t has been believed that the soil
Tor plum trees should consist of heavy
clay. This may be the case, but there
is such thing as getting a soil too
heavy without knowing it. The writer
has in mind a number of plum trees
that were set in heavy clay soil on
which grass had done we'll. The soil
was first MANFRED heavily, and it was
thought that all things were favorable
for the growth of the plum trees. But
for some years now the trees have
shown inability to make head against
the hard conditions. 1t might be add
ed that the location is on a hillside,
and thus the drainage should be good.
Perhaps the matter of fertility is al
fault. In hard soil the amount of
fertility should be greater than else
where because in such soil the roots
cannot ramify at will. In an orchard
that does not do we'll if on a clay soil
we would advise to pulverize the
ground in a circle some feet from the
tree and work in a good deal of barn.
yard manure.
The porosity of the soil should be
taken care of. If the soil be allowed to
puddle. that is. form Shiny crust over
the top. the air cannot get in. and the
roots will be unable to take food from
the soil. To prevent pudding do not
have the soil around the tree lower
than the rest of the ground, if the soil
be heavy. The water will settle in
such place and make a glazing over
the top OF the soil, while If it is round

PREPARING the Orchard Area

setting of orchard trees of any kind
we would advise to plow the whole
area to the depth the trees are to be
set. This makes the whole surface uni

the tree roots are to be placed. Such
preparation will not encourage the
forming Of pools of water about the

Joplin rub it in on us. The mer-

is why so many Baxter Springs
people trade in that city. The
merchants of rhis city have just
as good goods, but they do not
keep the people posted, hence so
much Baxter trading in Joplin.
If the Baxter Springs merchants
will advertise their goods as they
should, a lot of trading in Joplin
would be stopped.
