EcrtiIizing an Orchard.

Nothing is better for fertlizing an
orchard than raw bone meal and pot
ash, says an expert orchardist. The
bone will have nitrogen enough for the
orchard in sod, and the phosphoric acid
will become soluble by degrees as the
trees need it. The principal need Of
your sandy soil in apples is potash, for
not only is such a soil usually deficient
in potash, but apples take a large
amount from the soil We would APP
ply 400 pounds per acre, mixed $50
pounds of the bone meal and fifty
pounds Of murate OF potash. Then
NOW the orchard and use the cut grass
as a mulch for the trees. In short.
keep the orchard for apples alone, and
devote all that grows on the land to
the trees.
