It Is the Best Isorm :: che Orchard %

since that time we found It impossible
to give our orchard clean cultivation,
or rather intensive cultivation, with

We would now call them medium

we can give them thorough cuittYas

there is very little in high or low
head as to borers High heads are g
little more apt to sun-scald unless the
trees be set leaned little to the
southwest. Probably the high-headed
trees would lose more apples in q
storm than low-headed ones, but the
low-headed ones sometimes thresh the
ground and knock some of the fruit
off and the limbs touching the ground
are apt to have poor and bad colored
fruit.
Would advise to keep the heads as
low as you can to cultivate under, as
you can do better job of spraying

tree, and do it more rapidly, also cas-

We aim to keep our tree heads as

To Choose Partners.

For choosing partners try matching
animal crackers, which are hidden
throughout the rooms. Matching flow
ers is another pretty way when the
company is not too large to have
enough varieties of flowers. Have two
blossoms alike; carnations of all
shades, roses, violets, pansies, lilies,
etc.
Another way is to put the initials or
the first name of the girls in envelopes
and pass them to the men; the cracker
alphabet letters to be obtained from
the large grocery stores may be used.
Of course this method is only of use in
a crowd well known to each other. A
jolly way to pair off is to play the old
fashioned game of silent "blind mans
buff" Make a circle, blindfold one at
time, place in the center with a
cane, then the one the blind man
touches is the partner. Of course it is
arranged so that 'boy" points to a
''girl" and vice versa.

A PROFIT IN FARMING.
IN Many Cases 1t Can Be Realized
Only as One Studies the Need
of Soils.

If man is not making a profit out
of any crop he should at once abandon
it, unless indeed he has found out
how to do better in the future than in
the past with that particular crop.
But man will not abandon an un-
profitable crop unless he finds out
that it is Improbable. This point of
ascertaining the profits is one that
has been widely neglected by cultiva-
tors of the soil, with the results that
some pieces of land have year after
year been worked and yet have in no
case paid profit. This working of
improbable land is along the same
line as the keeping of cows that are
every year eating up their own value.
While in southern Illinois last sum-
mer, says a writer in the Farmers
Review, he passed by field after field
of grain where there would not be
enough of a harvest to pay for the
seed plus the harvesting expenses, to
say nothing of the other labor and ex-
pense involved. Last year was not a
bad year, and it is safe to assume that
those fields were in the habit OF bear
ing the kind of crops noticed. 1t is
certain that the cultivators of those
fields had never seriously contemplate
ed the question Of profit and loss.
Such fields should be laid aside till
their owner can work out some
scheme of making them profitable.
Frequently this will involve study and
the acquiring of expert knowledge on
soils,

He Could Not Run AWAY.

To be caught dangling in midair
200 feet above ground and to be at
tackled by numberless bees and hor-
nets is the novel experience of j. w.
Morton, painter of Richmond, Va.
Morton made perilous ascent to the
topmost elevation of the steeple of
the Broad street Methodist Episcopal
church to raint the pinnacle.
The bees and hornets which swarm
in the steeple resented his sudden ap-
pearance and attacked him viciously.
His frantic yells failed to reach the
ears of his companions working be-
low, and he was put to the necessity
of lowering himself to the ground, the
insects doing business all the way

AGING TREES BEFORE PLANTING.

tage If He Economies on Space.

In my orchard l started to test a
plan that l am working ont much more
extensively on my own farm, that OF
growing the orchard before ! plant 1t
out, says A Sulley, of Connecticut
This is, instead of planting three or
four-year-old trees in the orchard, put
them in nursery row about two feet
apart and trim about the same as If
planted in the orchard. Grow them
two years, pull up, trim agaiz. and
again plant them, giving them more
space, and at the end of two more
years take to the orchard. I have
taken this experiment far enough to
feel sure that can grow 1000 trees
on a quarter of an acre at less ex-
pense than in the field and have the
latter clear to improve or crop in full
Do not confound this work with the
old idea of bearing age trees. They
must be handled on or near the farm
where they are to be used, az the
bulk will prevent shipping them. 1t

by many ornamental stock growers.

WHAT TO PLANT.
Selection of Variety of Grape Vine
Calls for Careful Consideration.


vineyardist has this to say about
planting grape vines: Had planted
fewer varieties and tested one, might
have been better situated. Out of Is
varieties of grapes that am fruiting,
I would not recommend more than six
for commercial purposes. The others
are only good for exhibition or for ex.
pertinent stations. This will hold good
in nearly all kinds of small fruits.
Strawberries are about the same. OF
the several varieties / have growing
five comprise the really good ones.
Soil and conditions of culture must be
taken into consideration, for every
one growing strawberries will find out
by the locality in which they grow.
The strawberry that does well on light
soils may not thrive on the heavy soils.
The grower must study his soil as well
as his varieties. The best strawberry
I ever grew would not sell on account
of white tip. I have now discarded
it. People buy fruit by the eye and
not by quality. AS to gooseberries and
currants, there is no use in planting
the small kinds, as the public is de-
handing the larger varieties regard
less of quality. Of grapes / would
plant the following: Moore's Early,
Worden, Concord, Niagara, Woodruff
Red. OF strawberries 1 would recon-
mend Warfield, Senator Dunlap and
Aroma Of gooseberries would plant
Downing. The best currants are
Pomona and Cherry.

Buffers Stolen Fee.

The late Hon. Joseph @. Hoyt, for
merly of Boston, when lad attended
a circus and his silver watch was
stolen. The supposed thief was ar
rested, and was defended by Benja-
min f. Butler, who proved he did
not take the watch, and never was
at the circus.
During the civil war Hoyt was in
troduced to Butler at a dinner at the
Astor house, in New York, and the
latter remarked: "This is the first
time / have had the pleasure of meet
ing YOU"

WELL-FED TREES.
They Come Into Bearing Later, But
Last Longer Than Those Underfed.

It is a matter of common observa-
ton that fruit trees on thin soils come
into bearing early, exhibit strong
tendency toward fruitfulnesS, for a
comparatively short time, and die, and
that trees on good, strong land come
into bearing as rule somewhat later,
grow to much greater size, and live
for a very much greater number of
years, says H. J. Waters, director OF
the Wisconsin experiment station. 1t
is safe to say that well fed trees may
have more than double the number of
productive years than those which are
underfed usually have.
The fact is strikingly shown by the
results of an experiment conducted by
the New Jersey experiment station
with peaches, in which it was OBJ
served that on the unmanured land
the crops secured at the end of eight
years were so small as to very mate
rally reduce the average for the
whole productive period, while in the
case of the MANFRED land the average
for the entire period was not only not
reduced, but very materially increased.
Thus, the crops secured from the ma
nured trees, after those receiving no
manure had practically ceased to bear,
were greater proportionately than
those secured previous to that time.
That is to say, that the properly fed
trees were at their very height of pro-
ductiveness at the time when the I'M
MANFRED trees had practically ceased
to bear.

IT'S more important to grow a
worthless apple than a seedless one.
Keep an eye on the trees which
were budded last month. Don't let
the ties choke them.
Look out for pear blight Promptly
cut out every diseased twig or branch.
Eternal vigilance is the price of pear
success.
Stop cultivating the orchard. Sow
some kind of winter cover-crop. Try
combination of oats and crimson
clover.
1t isn't fair always to blame the
