Orchard Methods.

The method Of orchard culture now
commonly accepted by horticultural
investigators in eastern United States,
and recommended as sound, is to clean
cultivate early in spring up to the
middle of summer, then seed the or
chard down to cover crop. This
cover crop In its fall growth tends to
evaporate the moisture from the soil,
checking the growth Of the trees and
Fastening the ripening Of the wood, so
that the trees enter the winter in a
we'll matured and frost resistant con-
dition. This method has been various
~ modified In different sections of the
country to fit In with local conditions,
but the idea Of thorough cultivation in
the orchard. for at least part of the
season, has been regarded as essential
TO the highest success.

In their production. The farmer is as
much q business man as the citizen

A BUSINESS PARABLE.
You Cannot Fail to Appreciate the
Point In This Story.


Once a farmer had 1,S0O bushels of
wheat, which he sold not to a single
grain merchant but to 1850 different
dealers, a bushel each. A few of them
paid him In cash, but far the greater
number said It was not convenient
then; they would pay later A few
months passed and the mans bank
account ran low. How Is thisi' he
said. My $500 bushels OF grain should
have kept me in afI1uence until another
crop is raised, but have parted with
the grain and have instead only a vast
number of accounts, so small and scat
tered that | cannot get around and col
lect fast enough to pay expenses"
So he posted up a public notice and
asked all those who owed him to pay
quickly But few came The rest said
Mine Is only small matter. and |
will go and pay one of these days" for
getting that, though each account was
very small. when all were put together
they meant a large sum to the man
Things went on thus. The man got to
feeling so bad that be fell out Of bed
and awoke and, running to his gran

cared for. The ground should be mel
low and moist, so the roots from the
buds can enter, explains American Ag-
riculturist. Sometimes the runners are
not close to the ground and not enough
moisture reaches the bud TO form roots
This can be overcome by placing a
little earth on the runner near each
bud. These runners form during the
entire growing season. After midsum-
mer they can be taken up and planted,
but usually they are left until the fol-
lowing spring. If one desires large,
vigorous plants much can be gained
by preventing the little plant from
frulting by cutting off the flowers. If
one can secure plants from genuine
pedigree stock much can be gained
These plants are true to name and are
larger and generally more vigorous
than plants that have received no spe-
cial treatment

CURING CLOVER.

Dew Is OF.

Dew Is OF.
A good method of curing clover hay
is as follows: Nov in morning, prefer
ably after the dew Is off. As soon as
the clover begins to wilt start the ted
der and keep the hay In the air as
much as possible. Rake in time to
get the clover In the cock before the
dew falls. Allow to stand about two
days. shake out just enough to give
the hay a good airing, and it can be
put in the barn safely, The natural
way for the water in the plant to
evaporate is through the leaves. If
the leaves are allowed to become dry
and shriveled, no water will pass from
the stem to the air through them, and
In handling the hay many of the
leaves are broken off and lost. The
tedder should be run over the hay Of
ten enough to keep the leaves from
drying up on one side while on the
other side they remain green, advises
a writer In New England Homestead.
The same heating process goes on in
the cock that would In the NOW, only
not as fast or as vigorously. After the
hay Is partly dry much of the remain
Ing water can be got rid of In the
cock easier and with less waste of
"chaff" than In any other way. 1t is
much easier TO cure grass or clover
and grass mixed than clear clover. but
the same rule holds true in each case
early cutting gives more palatable
and easily digested hay and prolongs
the life of the grass and clover plants.
II clover be sown without nurse
crop, one crop of hay, sometimes two,
may be secured the first season. If
weeds appear in any numbers, the
field should be cut before the weeds
go to seed. II It is to be kept for hay
the following year, 1t should not be
pastured in the fall. Trampling Of
stock in most soils does more damage
than removing the surplus growth.

most cases this is done without the
