Preparing For a Peach Orchard.

EoA
If the land is fresh and has just been
cleared, it should be cultivated at least
two years in cotton or some other
crop adapted to the locality. Should
this new land be too rich for peaches.
the fertility should be reduced by
planting corn or some other exhaustive
crop for a year. If it is old and worn
out, it should be restored to a state of
fertility before setting out the trees.
The land should be broken up to the
proper depth with a two-h0rse pillow,
followed with a subsoiler if necessary.
Crimson clover, cOwpeas, potatoes or
other crops which will require fertiliZa-
ton are excellent as cover crops to
turn under.
After the land has received the
proper blowing and ~subsoiling, 1 rec
ommend brOadcasting or drilling in
peas in May, using one bushel to the
acre; $50 to 200 pounds of good fertiliz-
er per acre will materially increase the
growth. In February OF March 1 break
up the pea vines by running owe the
ground with a cutaway harrow, then
turn under with a good turn pl0w. AS

and in November the land is ready for

tion is to SOW crimson clover in Sep

lands should be thoroughly and deeply

planted, and are in growth, they cam
not be plowed deeply. All places in
the orchard where the top soil has been
washed away should receive careful
and special attention.; such places are
devoid of humus. This must be sup
piled by a liberal application OF stable
manure or compost. Peas or clover,
which must be plowed under in March,
should follow in two years by treating
as above mentioned; these depleted
parts of the orchard can be made very
fertile.

distances with 4 good two-llorse turn

feet square are dug; the top soil is
thrown to One side. I use a liberal

Planting Trees.

No hard and fast rule can be given
for planting distances, because the
vigor of growth varies with different
varieties and the kind andecondition Of
the soil must be considered, as a
strong, vigorous growing variety when
planted in extra good soil will even-
tually crowd much worse than weak
growing or dwarfish variety on thin
land.
We have nearly always made the
mistake-a very common One-of plant.
ing too close, and a still worse practice
has been the planting of peach trees
as a filler" between apple trees. The
peaches start off so much faster and
their roots extend in every direction
so rapidly that the slower growing
apple trees are seriously retarded in
their growth, and I believe are injured
to such an extent that they never fully
recover from this starving and dwarf
ing of their earlier years.
Growers of nursery stock should give
more explicit directions as to planting,
and more fully explain the habits Of
growth of different varieties of the
same class of trees.
If directions in catalogues read

a certain kind of tree, the greater dis
lance will usually prove more salts

The Secret of Good Farming.

We readily recognize quality and its
value in men. We call it character.
Why not acknowledge the same when
we have to do with the various phases
of farming?
Quality-What is it?
The first attribute of success in all
things. 1t is the best seed cotton OBJ
tainable. 1t is seed corn selected from
the best and most prolific stalks. 1t is
Soil-well titled, improved by culture,
iegumes and V crops.
1t is the cow-With milk or beet form,
which earns a living and pays her
owner we'll for her care and trouble.
It is the hog-broad over back and
shoulders, deep in the sides and fine in
bone, legs and head. Quality is every
phase of soil or crop or animal. 1t is
the best obtainable for our environ
mentS and conditions.
Finally, quality is the good farmer;
the nan who reads, who studies, ex-
periments; the man who believes in
his work and feels honored by it.
Quality is the good farmer.-C. W.
Burkett, in Progressive Farmer.

The Meat

We are asked to tell of the way of
treating houses in which meat is Kept
to prevent the depredations of insects.
OF course the windows are to be
closely screened to keep insects enter
ing from without.
Whitewash the walls and so have all
the crevices filed. Keep the floors
clean.
The mature insects that have already
entered the building may be killed By
fumigating with phyrethrum CIR to-
bacco.
1t is advised that this be done shy
closing VI the rooms tightly in the
evenings after work" Then a suffi-
cient quantity of pyrethrum or to-
bacco should be burned on live Goals
to completely fill the place with the
fumes.
What has been so charged is to be
left tightly closed anywhere from
eight to tWenty-four hours. At the
end of this time the %full-grOwn insects
will be dead, but the maggOts will not,
and SO it will be necessary to repeat
the operation two OF three times, at
intervals Of a week at host. this to
prevent the laying of more eggs and
the consequences Of Matching"
The %bisulphide Of carbon is used for
this sort of fumigation; but it must
be used at a time when there is no
fire on the premises. When it is en-
ployed the house should be left closed
for twelve hours at least, and it ought
then t o be aired until no trace of the
odor remains before fires are again
