No Fences In Belgium.

In beautiful Belgium there are nc
fences. Neither are there hedges, as
in England. The boundaries of the
fields are raised up by fairly high
earth banks, and the roads are cut
out of them, as it were, so that when
you are walking in the country you
are down in a sort of valley, with low
green banks on either side of you.
The things that are chiefly cultivat-
ed in Belgium are the beet root, for
making the cheaper kind of sugar,
you know, and you can see field upon
field of their reddy-green leaves
stretching on either side OF you as
you walk along.
Flax is also much grown over there,
and in summer time the fields are
such a pretty sight when the pale blue
fax blossoms are out in full bloom.
Belgian asparagus is also renowned
all over Europe. 1t has white instead
of purple-green tips, like our home
grown asparagus.

that of whip grating. The usual plan.
says Orange Judd Farmer, is for a
man to set the buds with boy fol-
lowing closely to do the tying.
The bud should be taken from wood
OF the present seasons growth. Since
the work of budding is done during
the season Of active growth, the bud
sticks are prepared so that the petiole

to serve as handle to aid in pushing
the bud home when inserting 1t be-

is what is usually called a shield bud.
1t is cut SO that a small portion of
the woody tissue of the branch is re-
moved with the bud. The bud stick
and method of cutting is shown in
the accompanying figure by Prof. Cor
bett.
The stock for budding should be at
least as thick as an ordinary lead
pencil. With apple and pear. a second
seasons growth will be necessary to
develop this size, while with peach, a
single season will suffice; hence,
peach stocks can be budded the same
season the pits are planted. Conse-
quently the peach is left until as late

in the season as is practicable. to OBJ
at which buds are inserted varies
with the operator. In general, the
nearer the ground the better.
To bud a plant, make a cut for the
reception of the bud in the shape of
a letter T as shown at a. Usually
the crosscut is not quite at right
angles with the body of the tree and
the stem to the T starts at the cross
cut and extends toward the root for
an inch or more. Loosen the flaps
of bark caused by the intersection of
the two cuts as seen at b, with the
ivory heel of the budding knife.
Grasp the bud by the leaf stem as
a handle, insert IL under the flaps and
push It firmly in place until its cut
surface is entirely in contact with the
peeled body of the stocks as shown at

plete until the following spring. Trees

FRUIT FACTS.

The apple is the best foundation on
which to build up large export trade
in fruit.
Keep the hoe sharp and bright;
never hang it up with dirt adhering to
its blade.
The old blackberry and raspberry
canes should be cut out and burned as
soon as they have fruited.
1t is said that commercial orchards
were almost unknown in this country
prior to 1860. Before that time men
grew fruit mostly for home use.
There has been some success In the
attempt to renew old orchards, but
most people will succeed best in try
ing to grow new ones.
The very great increase in the num-
Der and size OF commercial orchards
is one of the notable features in
American fruit growing.
A great deal of fruit can be grown
on very small plot of ground IL Il is
highly fortified and the fruit taken
care Of
When the threshing Is done, Il is
often necessary to dress up the straw
stack to better enable It to turn water.
There is always a great deal OF straw
left over. This can be used for scat
tering over the strawberry patch for
firing to burn the moved tops, and
over the garden to protect the bare
ground from the hot sun.

TOMATO BLIGHT.
Is Fungus Growth That Begins Attack
In the Seed Bed.

Tomato blight is due to a fungus,
which attacks the plants for the most
part in the seed bed. This being the
case, there can be no remedy for the
plant after it is once attacked. This
is true, for the reason that the fungus
grows on the inside of the plants and
evidently enters only the rootlets of
young plants. By examining the tbs.
sues of a young plant with a micro
scope, the threads of the fungus may
be seen clogging the cells where they
interfere with the passage of food ma
terial. At the present time, then, we
see no hope of ever being able to COM
bat this blight successfully in the field.
But we do hope to find a method of
prevention by improving the sanitary
condition Of the seed beds. With this
end in view, we believe 1t will pay to
thoroughly clean and disinfect the
frames or flats in which the seeds are
planted. This may be done by wash
ing or spraying all of the parts after
the dirt and soil have been removed,
with a strong solution of copper sui
plate. Then fresh soil and manure
should be procured, which should also
be sterilized. This can be best done by
steam. This may be done at small
cost by fitting up a small system of
two-inch iron pipes which are to be
placed In the bottom of bed made
for the purpose. Three ten or IL foot
lengths of pipe will be ample, and
small holes must be drilled in them
about six inches apart to allow steam
to escape. The pipes are now placed
parallel to each other and connected
at both ends, so that they are about
Is inches apart. The apparatus
may be connected to traction engine
or other available source of steam sup
ply. Soil should be filled into the bed
over the pipes to the depth of about
one foot, then the surface covered with
gunny sacks or some similar material.
If steam is turned on for an hour, the
low organisms will be killed, and
plants which will be practically free
from blight should be raised In soil
which has been treated in this man.

Honey the Least Of the Profits from
Busy Insects.

Honey producing Is only one Of the
MISSIONS OF the bee. Indeed. for actual
profit. the honey is but a minor item.
Some years ago l moved TO a small
place up the Hudson river. / wanted
bee farm and selected for that pur-
pose spot among apple. cherry and
plum trees, some of which had never
borne fruit. others none for years
past. My landlord told me might cut
down certain trees. as they were
worthless. and he intended putting
out some fine nursery stock.
Being busy did not cut the trees
down. They blossomed freely and OF
course we paid no further heed to
them than to break blooms by the
armful when we wanted floral deco
rations.
The cherry trees were, much to the
owners astonishment, loaded with
very large, perfect fruit He could not
understand Il; such a thing had not
happened for years.
Early In the autumn while waiting
for a swarm of bees TO settle / OBJ
served a number of fine apples upon
one OF the smaller condemned trees.
When the landlords attention was
called to them he was completely mys-
titled and called in his neighbors to
see the wonder.
Later we gathered from this tree
nearly barrel of the finest fall pip
pins ever seen In that vicinity. .uon

man that them pesky bees" had ally
thing to do with the yield of fruit on
the place. He insisted that some sort
Of fertilizer must have been used.
Since that time have demonstrated
by scores of experiments that trees
which had for many seasons borne lit
tie good fruit, or possibly none at all,
have been brought up to high stand
ard of productiveness by the presence
of bees. They carried the pollen, fer
tilted the blossoms and bountifui
harvest was the result.
Regardless OF the honey crop, every
fruit grower should have few col
onies of bees. If when the bloom sea-
son is past there is so little nectar In
midseason flowers that the bees must
be fed it is decided economy to feed
them, as in cases where strict ac-
count has been kept the cash value OF
orchard products alone has been
doubled by their assistance.-Suburb
