TIMELY INDUSTRY.
Autumn Seeding-Work In the Orchard.
Good Flowing.

Autumn Seedine-Work In the Orchard.
Good Flowing.
Grass sown in October is liable to
winter kill, but if sown just before the
ground freezes will not come up until
spring and will then make a fair crop
on moist land if plenty of manure has
been used, says American Cultivator.
In the orchard young trees should be
looked over for nests of insect pests.
and the sprouts and useless growth
should be taken off. Trees may be set
out in the fall, but in the northeastern
states the spring is safer time for
tree planting.
After the apples have been picked an
application of manure or other fer
tilizing material should be made for
the future benefit of the orchard. A
young orchard or one in bearing should
not be expected to yield good crops of
fruit without fertilization and proper
care any more than other crops on the
farm. Where attention is paid to this
and keeping the trees properly trim
med then good results should be OBJ
tanned.
The entire surface of the orchard
should be fortified and not merely
close around the trees. The roots ex-
tend long way. and the small fbrous
ones are those that will make most
use of the fertilizers There should be
no piles of manure left around the foot
of the trees to afford burrow for
mice
Fail blowing is very important part
of farm work and deserves the best
attention. 1t is the real foundation
upon which good cultivation depends.
and the better this work is performed
the more satisfactory can the other be
accomplished.
Most farmers like to do the larger
part of their blowing in the fall.
Wherever the formation of the land
and kind of soil will permit this can
be safely done. saving much time and
labor another spring when so many
things claim attention.

4 NEW IDEA.
Pruning to Increase the Hardness Of
Peach Trees.

pruning 10 lOCTcaSS SUS E1dT0uSSS u
Peach Trees.
In commenting on some conclusions
recently arrived at as the result of va
rious experiments in pruning peach
trees Country Gentleman says:
W. II. Chandler of the Missouri ex-
pertinent station conducted extensive
experiments in pruning in which the
trees were cut back in different de-
grees. In general those most severely
cut back made the heaviest growth
during the following summer and
showed the greatest immunity from
injury during the following winter
AS there are practical limits to the ex-
tent to which a peach tree may be cut
back, Mr. Chandler does not RECON-
mend extreme heading in, but finds
rather that moderately severe cutting
back gives the best results. Professor
Waugh, from very similar pruning ex-
periments conducted in Massachusetts.
comes to almost exactly the same con-
illusions respecting the cutting hack of
trees.
The important Point.
The important point, of course, in both
series of experiments Is the discovery
that the tree making vigorous growth
is hardest and most li.::;'' to give a
crop after adverse winter or spring
weather. This discovery squarely con
travenes the popular idea on this
question. 1t may still be a question
whether late fall growth is as hardy
as early summer growth Most peach
growers believe that cultivation should
be stopped early so as to induce early
ripening of the wood AID that the sys.
TEN of fertilization for Tie peach should
be adapted to the same end. So far
as can be judged from the published
reports the experiments of Messrs
Waugh and Chandler do not give any
support to this belief either, However
it does not seem that this particular
point was studied, though it would be
reasonable to expect some light on it
from such series of experiments
After such unexpected results on the
subject of hardness as affected by
vigorous growth we ought not to be
too sure on the question of late growth

Tests With Alfalfa Pasture.

At the Mississippi experiment sta
ton careful tests have been made to
determine the value of alfalfa pasture
without grain for hogs Pigs ranging
from three to twenty-four months have
been used. and the results of two years
work show that alfalfa is little more
than a maintenance ration for grow
Ing hogs without grain. Satisfactory
gains have always been secured from
alfalfa pasture by supplementing the
pasture with from to per cent of
the weight Of the hogs in corn or other
grain.

Horse Talk,

Half the pleasure of country life
lies in the ownership of good horse.
Every farmer should have horse
that the wife and daughter can ride
and drive as well as the boys.
In selecting such horse choose one
about fifteen hands and one or two
inches high. weighing about $50 to
1000 pounds.
He should have good, even dispo-
sition and go equally we'll in harness
or under saddle.
Small horses are better than large
ones for light driving. Their feet are
apt to be firmer and finer in texture
and more likely to remain sound
