Pruning Trees.

The right time to commence the
pruning of a tree and the making of
an orchard is when it is young When
the trees are young tlle discreet or
chardist can train them into almost any
saape he desires He must keep his
ideal ever II his mind and work
toward that end. There are many
horticulturists who claim that the
young tree with many strong limbs is
the better tree when placed alongside
OF forked sapling with only about
two main stems. The apples should
have central stem and should be
pruned so rs to keep the tree open at
all times There are on the other hand
many growers who aim to destroy the
central stem effect, leaving the top en-
tirely open Either form OF tree is all
right. but the acreage orchardist is
sften a lobbyist and works. towards
what he thinks to be the best. despite

AUToMoRILEs ON FARM.
They Are Coming to FIJI PIace Of
Real Utility.

Automo bfles have been a feature at
the state fairs this year, as an add
ton to the machinery exhibits. so
marked has been the display that
nearly all reporters for the agricuI-
tural press have commented upon the
presence of the automobiles designed
for farm use in their resumes of the
fairs
There seems a reason to believe
the automobile is coming to be live
proposition as a farmers conveyance
for general road work where extreme
weight power does not enter
into the problem declares Prairie
Farmer. Automobiles, for instance,
are seemingly being put to various
uses by farmers on the coast. After
discussing the usefulness of the motor
car, the Pacific Rural Press sI1nls up
the probRbl expense as follows:
The expense of Hpkeep in some
cars has been reduced untik to-day
man can operate a car, spending less
for oil and gasoline than the cost OF
feeding horse. The car Is matter
of expense only when IN actual opera
ton, and while in operation It's
road capacity is at least four
tines that OF horse-drfven vehicle.
AS for repairs, if the car is given
reasonable care and attention, they
should be little IN excess OF tire cost
of shoefhg and repairs on harness, etc
In point of operating knowledge, even
where thiz is not simple enough. the
farmer has great advantage, ass he 10
of necessity more OF mechanic than
the city man"
Few reasonable persons Will hook
forward to- the time of seeing the au-
tomobile drive the farm horse out of
business, but there is a strong possH
hiIity that the motor car will ultimate
ly share a portion Of the road work
OF the farm horse.

DO COWS NEED PHOSPHATE?
An Experience That Has Raised Z
New Query.

During the past Summer we have
treated the growing heap of manure
in our barn yard every two weeks to
sprinkiing of ground phosphate rock,
or floats. Some of the ground rock
was scattered on the ground next to
The barnyard fence away from the
manure. We noticed the COWS were
eagerly gnawing away at the ground,
and thought first some salt had been
however, that they were licking up
the phosphate rock, doing so very
greedily.
Now here is a new ques tion: The
cows are fairly wild for the phosphate
Eock Why? Is it that they feel the
need of this form of phosphorus? We
wender if any OF our brother dairymen
have ever discovered the same thing
sn their cows We had before dis
covered that pigs VIII eat the ground
rock greedily il they can get it. Phos-
phorus is very essential, to a certain
extent in the animal economy.
We would like very much to hear
from some of ouf experiment stations
or from individual dairrmen if they
have had experience in this line, says
Hoard's Dairyman. The expert
neRt made with pigs by the Wiscon-
sin experiment station, in feeding one
rot with a certain allowance of phos,
phate and denying it entirely to an
other lot, convinced US that there is
sonnet hing valuable for all feeders to
learn in this direction.

DIRT ROADS.
DIRT ROADS
How They Are Kept in Good condf
ton in Sections of Missouri.

There are three tools that are being
used in Missouri in keeping the dirt
roads in good condition, the grader.
the drag and the harrow, writes COR
respondent of the Farmers Voice. The
grader, costing from 5000 to $500, is
used in rolling up the roads. This is
done, or, at least, should be done, in
the spring of the year. If the roads
are graded in the fall they get
terribly cut up by the travel after
the rains in the late fall and some
times become almost impossible. TO
say the least, they are rniserably
rough. When graded in the spring the
roads get bad enough In the winter
and spring, and it is only of late
years that farmers have learned the
use of the drag and harrow il putting
Them in good condition again.
The road drag is easily constructed
by means of two timbers of split logs
from eight to ten feet in length and
about the size of heavy fence posts
They may be fastened together with
oak cross pieces or by round spokes
extending from the holes in one piece
to those in the other. Good chains
can be fastened to the pieces to which
the double tree can be attached Ii
the drag is extra heavy, two teams
may be used by hitching one at each
cad When dragging the road one
team should be kept a little ahead of
the other, SO as to pull the dirt toward
the middle of the road. 1t is Il good
idea to have sharp cutting blade of
steel on the underside of the front
timber If this extends about half an
inch below the edge of the timber and
Slants forward it will help wonder
fully in cutting of the rough points in
the road.
The drag, though simple, is a great
invention. 1t is a power for leveliug
the roads in winter just after dry
freeze or in the early spring when the
reads begin to dry. By running the
drag over the road, ruts and horse
tracks will be easily filed. If they
contain water, it win run out and
away, then the roads viii soon be in
good condition.
The common field barrow, while net
50 good as the drag, is being used fire.
quently for levelmg roads. Best re-
suits are obtained by using the harrow
when the roads are rough, bat Cry. It
acts as leveler; but not as grader,
by raking off the clods and bumps,
Iulverizing them and filing the de-
Tressions.
The neighbors in a community, with

their farms in very good condition
during most of the year. Of course
there are times in rainy seasons when
the roads must be let alone

FALL CULTIVATION OF ORCHARD
Care Must Be Taken Lest 1t Prove In
furious to Trees.

Fall cultivation of orchards is some.
times injurious and sometimes not.
The effects depend on several condi-
tons. Fall cultivation in orchards has
been objected to, because 1t is re
puted to start a fail growth of wood
that does not have time to harden be
fore the time of the final stoppage of
growth. That leaves a lot of soft
wood to go into winter in shape un-
fitted to stand the cold.
IL is only the cultivation of early
fall that INJURIES trees in this way,
says Farmers Review. After the
leaves get old and get ready to fall,
cultivation cannot start new growth.
This effect caa only take place if the
cultivation is early enough to furnish
an abundant food supply at che time
the leaves are terry active III eiaborat-
ing food for the development of wood.
We do not believe that fall cultiva-
ten is desirable in most of oxr north
ern attitudes, eTNen when the cultiva-
'clon is given 50 late that it canno;
possibly start s new growth of wood
The cultivation stirs up the soft anG
permits the frost TO go deeper than
it otherwise would. If the winter
chance to be a cold one, with little
snow, frost will strike SO deep tina;
the roots will be frozen, and this may
result in the destruction Of the trees
The iIarder and firmer the ground
the less is the depth that the frost vii.

vHE ROAD DRAG.
Advantages which Are Gained from
It's Use.

The advantages to be gained from
the persistent use of road drag may
Se summarized as follows:
L. The maintenance oe a smooth,
seryiceable earth road free from ruts
and mudholes.
9. Obtaining such road surface
With the expenditure OF very little
money and labor in comparison with
the money and labor required for 9TH
a. methods.
8. The reduction of mud in wet
weather. and OF dntst in dry weather.
There are also several minor bene-
fits gained from the use OF road drag,
besides the great advantages which
always acerlse from the formation of
improved highways, of which may be
mentioned the banfshments of weeds
and grass from the dragged portion Of
the road
