SPADE DEEPLY FOR TREES.
Grourd Should Be Well Prepared for
the New Tree.

When a new tree is to be set out the
ground should be well prepared for IL.
When large plantations are to be put
in, e olow may be used in the pref.
aration of the ground. More often
however, the spade is used for pre-
pairing the ground in which trees are
to be set The depth of the spade is
about ten inches, which is about four
inches more than the depth of or
dina.y blowing. The depth of the
spade, says the Farmers Review,
should be the measure used in turn
ing over the ground for trees. The
space so prepared should be ten feet
or more in diameter. and this pre-
pared space should be increased as
the tree grows. The object of the en-
largement of the space is to prevent
the forming of a natural water-tight
basin in which water would accumu-
late to the detriment of the tree.

A FARMERS NURSERY.
IL Is Easily Managed and Should Be
Feature of Every Farm.

A small home nursery is easily man
aged and in many cases highly profit
able. Where old orchards of good
standard varieties exist. it is com
paratively simple matter to grow
young trees. By planning little
ahead. the farmer may grow his own
fruit trees and plant a considerable
orchard at slight expense.
Seeds of good quality must be pre-
served to grow stocks for budding or
grating This is done by cleaning
and washing them when they are re-
moved from the fruit and allowed to
dry In the sun. They may be kept
over winter in box of moist sand,
or pile of leaves left out of doors.
1t is best to allow them to freeze,
which will crack the shells sufficient
~ for sprouting. The seeds are sown
In rows three feet wide, and three to
six inches apart in the row. Stocks
usually attain sufficient size to bud or
graft with one years growth.

USES OF TuRPENTINE.

There are few houses that are not
familiar with some of the numerous
uses of turpentine, and as its odor is
clean and wholesome it has the adj
vantage over the many remedies
whose odors are offensive.
Turpentine and soap will remove ink
stains from muslin.
A few drops added to the water in
which clothes are boiled will whiten
them.
1t will eXterminate cocbroaches il
sprinkled in their haunts.
Moths will leave if it is sprinkled
about as they dislike it.
Pitch, wheel grease, and tar stains
can be quickly removed If the spot is
first covered with lard, then soaked
with turpentine. Scrape off all the
loose surface dirt, sponge clean with
turpentine and rub gently till dry.
a few drops of turpentine on wool

An equal mixture of turpentine and

ribbon around the paper perfectly

other paper around this and pin in
