less an amateur, after short season,

the tying. 1t is tied with soft cloth
dipped in grating wax, or with soft
cotton thread. The grating wax is
not essential. However, if 1t is re-

one pound; to be melted together and

should be tied together in neat bundles,
about fifty or one hundred in a bundle,
and put away. in boxes with slightly

be stored in any good cellar, and the

grounds are ready in the spring. They
are thea set out in rows the same as
any cuttings or garden seeds.

FERTILIZER FOR ORCHARDS.
Trees Must be Fed If You Would Have
Them Bear Fruit.

All orchards, to be the most profit
able, need TO be fortified. Land
planted to fruit trees cannot be treat
ed to a rotation of crops as is other
soil, consequently 1t should have at
tention in the way of applications of
suitable commercial fertilizer. OF
course, cover crops can be used to
great advantage in renewing the soil
supply of humus, and to a certain ex-
tent the supply of nitrogen, but they
cannot be expected to do it all,
While, perhaps, most soils may be
in fairly good condition as regards
nitrogen, there are very few that do
not need potash and phosphoric acid.
These two plant food elements are
generally lacking and experience has
proved that their application is very
profitable.
On many farms the complaint that
the trees do not bear is common and
the farmer does not seem to know
what Is the matter. 1t does not al
ways occur to him that perhaps he is
not feeding his trees enough. They
present strong healthy growth Of
both wood and foliage and in every
way look as IL they ought TO produce q
lsrge yield of fruit, but for some rea-
son the fruit does not appear The
trouble is that the orchard is starving
for something to produce fruit on The
soil is lacking In the available min
eral elements mentioned-potash and
phosphoric acid The need of these
Is indicated by the fruiting rather than
the foliage condition of the trees.
Just what fertilizer is best to use
on the orchard is only found by ex.
pertinent. However, under normal soil
conditions, where the yields of fruit
are not satisfactory, mixture con-
tanning seven or eight per cent. Of
available phosphoric acid and from ten
to IL per cent. of potash will give good
results and may be used with profit at
the start. A little experimenting will
afford data for future applications. An
application of from 400 20 500 pounds
Of the suggested mixture per acre,
relative to specific soil needs, is gen
orally advised.
In the above fertilizer we did not
include any nitrogen. Where orchards
receive clean cultivation until mid.
summer and then are planted to a
cover crop which is turned under in
the spring, there is not so much likeli
hood of this element being needed.
The excessive growth of wood and
foliage indicate this to be the case.
Where the soil Is inclined to be thin
or sandy about two per cent. OF nj
trogen should be added.
The orchard fertilizer should be ap-
piled with the first cultivation in the
spring. 1t should be well worked into
the soil In order that the tree roots
may derive the benefit rather than
tho cover crop which is sown later in
the season.

Pasturing the Orchard.

1t Is seldom good plan to pasture
the orchard with stock larger than
sheep or hogs, However, som shines
taere is good pasturage in the orch
ard that would go to waste if it could
not be eaten by cows or horses. But
COWS and horses are fond of fruit
tree leaves and twigs and when they
once take to eating them much dam
age is soon done, often amounting to
more than the pasture is worth. To
prevent horses or cows from eating
trees when pastured in the orchard,
place a head stall on the animal and
a loose strap around its body just be-
hind the front legs. Tie rope or
strap to the head stall and to the
strap around the animals body, with
length for easy eating but not for
raising the head above the height of
the body. Some tie the halter rope
to one front foot of the animal.
