Good Flowing,

No amount of narrowing or after
work can entirely overcome the effects
of bad plowing to begin with. Flowing
is the foundation of the crop to follow.
A man who can drop a straight furrow
is one who keeps pretty close watch of
his plow. He may hold his handles
loosely and appear to be plowing very
easily and perhaps carelessly; but he is
watching every movement OF the plow
and shifting the handles slightly one
way or the other that it may take more
or less land. The plow, of course,
should do the blowing itself, without
any necessity for the plowman to bear
down on it with all his weight, not to
raise it up on the point constantly; but
nevertheless plowing needs close atten-
ton. Intelligent selection of the team
which is to pillow together is important.
The horses gaits should be even and
they should work we'll in span. 1t is
impossible to do good work with one
horse walking rapidly and the other
tagging behind constantly or walking
sometimes in and sometimes out OF the
furrow. The plow itself is another
thing to consider. No one plow is best
suited to all kinds of land. A sharply
curved, short, high mold board will
throw the furrow very high and hard
and break it up; this is suitable for
stiff clay soil.
For smooth, mellow soil, or for plow:
ing sod in the spring, when it Is desired
to turn the furrow squarely over, Q
plow with long, slightly curved mold
hoard is best as it turns the furrow
smoothly upside down and breaks the
furrow the least. The Scotch farmers
want plow which will turn narrower
furrow than American farmers. II the
beam of the plow is short, bringing the
horses near to the point of resistance
the draft will be less; but there should
be several links between the beam and
the whiffltree to give the horses some
leeway, when stepping on mound ol
into a depression, SO that the point o.
the plow will not be jerked up or down

The question of orcharding as q
speciality, or as one branch of mixed
farming, is being discussed in all apple
growing sections. With few exceptions
the small orchard prevails everywhere
II we consider merely the question OF
production, it must be decided in favor
of the large orchard. When the invest
ment becomes a matter of serious con-
cern, the grower is more likely to in
terest himself in every detail of orchard
work. Cultivation, spraying and prun.
ing will be done on time properly.
They will be considered part of the
regular work, and not something that
can be done when no other work is
p ressing. The specialist provides him.
self with books, periodicals and proper
implements. He is willing to spend
money and time to attend fruit meet
ings. Because of the large quantity OF
fruit he controls, he receives consider
alton from buyers and from Transports
ton companies.
But there are some disadvantages.
The large grower must hire large num-
bers of men for short periods of time.
Thus he pays high wages for indifferent
service. In mixed farming the ordinary
help on the farm is used. The special
ist finds fertilizers costly and not always
satisfactory. On a farm where stock is
kept the fertilizer question is simple
one. The specialist has to wait long
years for returns from his investment,
and every operation must be paid for at
top prices, because labor and material
are hired and bought for special
occasion. The men engaged in mixed
farming can do most or all of the work
with the ordinary help on the farm.
The development of the orchard and the
many small details can be done with the
odds and ends of time that cost him
comparatively little.-J. A. Macdonald,
Ottawa, Canada, in Tribune Farmer.

Unthrifty Fruit Trees.

The physical condition of the soil has
much to do with the unthriftiness of
many fruit trees. To make fruit grow
ing a success there are two great essen
tials in getting the ground ready for
setting out the young trees: The
ground must be properly drained and II
must be in good physical condition.
Some hardy trees may live for time on
undrained ground, but 1t is only ques.
ton of time when they will die out. !
believe that undertaking will pay with
all kinds of fruit. 1t warns the soil
and frees the subsoil of all excess water,
and in this way liberates much plant
food which otherwise would not be
available to the feeding roots. On
thoroughly drained soil the root system
of the trees is healthier and they are
ready for work earlier in the spring.
As trees become larger and come into
bearing they need larger feeding
grounds; 80 it is essential that the
ground be thoroughly cultivated, both
before the trees are planted and after.
