Grass Mulch in Orchard.


The average results Of the different
methods of orchard culture at the ONO
Station, covering period now or SIX
years, are quite markedly in favor OF
planting the tres in sod and mulcnlng
the trees. The trees OH the plat thus
treated have made heavier and more
vigorous growth than under any other
system of culture, and have produced
double as much fruit. Under the cult
walton and cover crop method of cul--
ture the trees made very nearly AS
good a growth. and the fertility Of the
soil was kept up. The fact, however,
that the general results, as regards
both tree growth and yield Of fruit,
are inferior to the grass mulch method
is the surprising thing.
The poorest results of all were OBJ
tanned when clean cultivation through
out the season was practiced, since no
humus or fertility was added to the
soil by this method, and the ground
washed and quilted so badly that
heavy fills were necessary, and the
practice had to be abandoned at the
end Of the fourth year.
The trees set in sod and having cir
cular area cultivated about them gave
very good results for the first two or
three years, after which much better
results were secured by either the
cover-crop method or the grass mulch
method. This method of culture was
the most expensive and ,laborious plan
adopted. Its chief usefulness Is on
small, very rough or stony areas, where
mulching material is not available, or
on home grounds where neat and sight.

Ensflage.

By the use of ensilage the ration
can be greatly cheapened, but ensilage
is not balanced food, and must not.
therefore, be used exclusively. A ra-
ton of 43 pounds Of ensilage, pounds
of clover hay, pound Of bran and l of
linseed meal will cost about 10 cents a
day and be as nearly balanced as can
be desired. This ration will be better
digested than one composed mostly Of
dry food, and the ensilage can he

low that of any other food that can
be produced on the farm.

Sorting and Packing EGGS.

Eggs to be placed on the market
should be carefully sorted and packed
as to size, shape and color. 1t Is bet
ter not to put eggs having different col
ored shells In the same package !;
neither should eggs varying much in
size be placed in the same package. Ev-
cry egg should be perfectly clean, and
If slightly soiled it may be wiped clean
with a damp cloth. If badly soiled the
eggs should be discarded, for the wash
ing required to clean them Injuries their
appearance. The discarded eggs can be
disposed of at some of the cheaper ana
less eXacting markets. Eggs NAV be
placed in large shipping cases or In
small pasteboard boxes, according to
how they are to be marketed.-G. A.

Flowing and ts.

Subsoiling and drainage are systems
that should be practiced in connection
with each other Subsoiling without
drainage Is more damaging than bene-
fetal, as it allows the water to accumu-
late and there remain. If the system
Of drainage is made complete there Is
nothing better than deep cultivation, as
sisted by the subsoil pillow. The great
fear Of those who are opposed to sub
soiling is that they are compelled to
turn up soil from below, which is not
desirable, as it requires time for the
cold undersol to become proper plant
food; but the subsoil pillow does not
as many suppose, turn up the soil. 1t
simply pulverizes it. The plan usually
pursued is to pillow the soil in the ordi-
nary manner, following in the same fur
rows behind the first pillow, with sub
soiler, to which should be harnessed
three horses, in order that the work
may be thoroughly done, AS the first
pillow moves on, leaving the upper soil
broken, the subsoil plow, coming after
it, should 60 in to depth of at least
inches below the plowed furrow Ga
foot, If possible), thus rendering the
actual depth quite deep, though not
mixing the upper and lower strata.
The advantage is that moisture Is re-
tanned when rains are not frequent, ow-
Ing to the greater capacity and depth
of absorption at the time Of rain. and
also greater moisture from capillary
attraction by virtue Of the porosity of
the Subsoil,

THE cHEAPNESS OF LIFE.

A review of the casualties of a year
emphasizes the feeling which comes
again and again to any one who follows
the papers from day to day that human
life is held altogether too cheaply by so
many human beings. Nothing can be
more depressing than the record of a
year of murders, suicides and possibly
avoidable accidents, which tells how
many lives have been blotted out with
out thought of the value of human
being.
The startling increase of murders
committed by burglars, holdup men,
highwaymen. and criminals of that type
finds particular mention. Quarrels are
accredited with the violent death OF
more than 5000 people. In the case
of 100 men and eleven women murder
was followed by suicide, the great ma
jority of these double tragedies coming
in connection with so-called love af-
fairs. Double murders to the number
of $50, triple murders in Sc instances,
"A quadruple, and 80 quintuple murders
make an appalling story of crime.
The record of self-destruetion is even
more disturbing when the steady in
crease in eight years from $40 in
1899 to 10, 125 in 1906 is observed, the
total for the eight years quoted reach

/ than 65, 600 1t is said that "A, 500 peo-
pie were killed in war during the year
1906, when the world was in compare

disappointments and infelicities of in
