SUN BETTER THAN SHADE.
he Reason Why Trees Are Not De
slrabIe Along Roads.

Concerning trees for the roadside,
my advice Is, that the less trees on
the roadside the better for the roads,
either in summer or winter, writes a
correspondent of Orange Judd Farm
er. One reason is, that in summer
they shade the roads too much in rainy
weather, thereby keeping the roads
wet too long where there is too much
shade, while the other parts of the
road dry up quickly. In winter, where
there are trees on the roads, the snow
accumulates, piles up too much in
windy weather, making it difficult
and sometimes dangerous to travel,
and takes longer in the springtime to
thaw away and consequently keeps the
roads much longer in bad condition
than II otherwise were the case. l
agree, however, with the suggestion
that on q 160-acre farm, ten acres
should be devoted to trees.

RAsPBERRIEs FOR HOME USE.
Every Farmer Should Have His
Berry Patch.

No farmer is doing his full duty to
his family IL he neglects to set at
least four long rows of raspberries for
home use. Four rows, because he
needs four varieties, two of which
should be black and two red, an early
and a late of each.
Set them in the spring on freshly
prepared land by laying it of with
shovel plow and setting 2h feet
apart in the bottom Of the furrow.
Tramp the dirt firmly on the roots.
Make the rows as long as the needs
of the family may require.
Locate the patch out in the open
where cultivation may be easily given,
for which the ordinary corn plows are
well adapted, suggests Farm and
Home. They will not bear the first
year, and only a part of the crop the
second, but for from six to ten years
after that the crop Is almost certain.
After the second year six-inch mulch
of straw each season will make cultf
walton unnecessary and the only work
required will be an annual trimming.
This may be done when the plant Is
dormant, but preferably in the winter
or In early spring.

In lime, sulphur and salt and then
heeled in again to set for time of
planting.
In order to see what effect this sys-
tenn of pruning might have on the
growth Of trees, 1t Is reported that 80
Mountain Rose trees were divided into
four lots. Different methods of prun-
ing were as follows:
Lot 1 were pruned to whips.
Lot were pruned so that about five
stubs we're left, each about one inch
long so that there was one bud on
each side branch.
Lot we're pruned so that five stubs
were left, each stub being about three
inches long.
Lot 4 were pruned so that one-third
of the top Of each tree was removed
by cutting the tips of the twigs off.
BY this method the heads were left
most as they were when they come
from the nursery.
Lot 5, as shown in the illustration,
was left unpruned.
The result Of the test as reported
by Prof. Warren shows that the Sc
we're pruning proved to be the most
successful. 1t was found that of the
20 trees pruned to whips Is were
found to make good growth on June
1, while two were making a fair
growth.
Lot 2, which were pruned to one
inch tops had II making good growth
on June 1, and three making fair
growth.
In lot 3, which were pruned to three
inch stubs, on June1, 1t was found
that 1S were making good growth
with two reported fair.
In the lot where one-third of the
top was left 1t was found that on
June 1 only IL we're making good
growth, six were making fair growth,
two were reported making very poor
growth and one was found to be
dead.
1t Is concluded from this experience
that pretty severe pruning is neces-
sary to the trees before being set out
in order to insure good growth. 1t Is
not found that the trees we're injured
by being healed after pruning, waiting
suitable time for planting.

Orchard and Garden.

II the garden plot is not naturally
well-drained, make plans for draining
It.
1t is surprising how few farmers
make a practice Of spraying their
fruits and vegetables.
In spraying use plenty Of liquid and
put 1t on thoroughly. Use too much
rather than too little.
Keep an eye on the strawberry bed.
II winds blow the mulch OF In spots,
replace 1t at once.
In western New York buckwheat as
a cover crop is the standard of fertili-
zation for apple orchards. 1t really
works wonderful results.
Why do we not spend more time dig.
ging weeds before our crops are
swamped by them, and less in mourn
ing because we had such light yield
at harvest time?

s... Violin s.rInos.

The best strings for vielins are Of
italian make and are from the intes-
tines Of spring lambs. killed In Sop
tember. The process Of drying and
bleaching OF the woods and strings by
the hot Italian sun. rather than by
the artificial methed used In other
countries, accounts in a great meas
ure for the superior quality Of both
materials. This intense heat was also
the reason for the slow distillation
of the oils used by tho Italian max
ers, which always remained at a high
temperature, and the varnish, slowly
soaking into the woods Of the violins
beneath the heat Of those Italian sum-
mers, produced, in part, the mellow
ness Of tone that gives to q Cremona
instrument its value, after a lapse OF
200 Or more years.-March Circle.

RENEWING OLD ORCHARDS.
How Pruning and Cultivation viii
Give New Life to Trees.

Altogether the most profitable orch.
ards are those set In recent times,
or at least put out in the modern
method. They are composed OF strong.
healthy, vigorous trees which prac-
tically cover the ground and among
which there are no blanks. On many
farms, however, there are smaller or
larger tracts of old orchard, many of
which are worthless and many more
of which are not distinctly profitable.
Some of these old orchards could be
rejuvenated. They could be brought
into reasonably good bearing and to
point where they would really pay
profit. Now the rejuvenation of an
old orchard is fairly simple matter,
providing 1t is properly understood,
says Country Gentleman. The impor-
tant point Is that 1t does not consist
in the application OF any single pat
ent remedy. Spraying will not do the
work; pruning will not cure all the
troubles; tillage alone will be worth
very little; the only way to get the
desired result is to apply proper
methods all along the line. The soil
should be loosened up and proper
drainage provided. The trunks should
be scraped clean and spread with cop
per sulfate or Bordeaux mixture. Old
dead limbs should be cut out. A rea-
sonable but not excessive pruning
should be given. Thorough spraying
should be undertaken. In case the
trees are of mixed or Improbable va
rieties, they should be regrafted to
standard sorts. It Is not likely that
additional plant food will be required
at first, except on soils very much de-
pleted. An orchard taken vigorously
in hand in the matter Of tillage. prun-
ing and spraying is apt to start into
strong growth at once; and II a
good deal Of raw fertilizer is applied,
there may easily be more growth than
Is desirable. However, one must keep
his eyes open, and in case the trees
show the want Of more food, 1t. should
be given. 1t is really a comparatively
easy matter, IL all these things are
Systematically attended to, to bring an
old orchard round. 1t requires from
two to FIVE years to do 1t, depending
on the condition of things when the
matter is taken in hand.

Time to Spray.

Fruit growers should spray their
fruit trees in March, before buds swell,
for fungous troubles such as peach
leaf-curl, scab of pear and apple, fruit
rot, etc. The Bordeaux mixture is the
standard fungicide. (But. remember,
lime-sulphur is also fungicide: so If
you use 1t for San Jose on your trees
you will not need the early spray Of
Bordeaux.)

Not All Lost.

II the co.A. driving winds of the
past winter have killed back the tops
of your peach trees. do not despair.
Use the pruning shears expediently;
cut back as far as the wood appears
to be killed. Chances are. fair that
the trees will then form a much bet
ter top and bear more fruit than in
any previous year. Their newly
formed tops grow thriftily and very
productivity. says Farm Journal. You
must go after them as early as posi-.
BILE in the spring, otherwise they will
very likely pine away and die with
the coming Of the growing season.
