PEAR TREES ARE PROFITABLE
Some Usefut Information to Be Used
in Planting and CuItivatins
for Good Returns.

The soil best adapated to the
growth of the pear is a clayey loan,
a very light soil not being conducive
10 longevity nor to fine growth or
much fruitfulness, and a very heavy
soil retarding growth and stunting the
trees every way.
No matter how desirable the soil
may be otherwise, unless we'll drained
the trees will not thrive.
Pears grow over a wide range Of
climate, however but the best results
are obtained in rather moderate eli
mate
When tree gets stunted the first
or second year no amount of care and
attention seems to enable it to re-
gain the lost growth.
Time can usually be gained by not
blowing the entire tract of land at
once, but thoroughly pillow and work
up strips for the tree rows, say six or
eight burrows wide, the intervening
space being worked up later or when
there is more time.
The standard varieties should be
pldHleu dDOuL 20 lteL apart tdcu way
and the dwarf II feet apart each way.
Some growers plant alternate rows Of
dwarf and standard varieties Most
people prefer to have them kept in
separate fields, however
Dig holes at the proper distance
about foot deep and large enough to
contain the roots nicely without
cramping; have a half barrel or tub
of good rich mud near at hand, and
when the broken or crushed roots are
removed with a sharp knife dip the
trees into the tub, covering the roots
with this mud, and in this way insur-
ing the earth clinging TO the roots.
Some good rich soil should be sprin-
killed. in the bottom of the hole Then
set the tree in, spreading the roots
nicely and then shovel the soil in
carefully, settling the tree from time to
time, and in this way have the soil
well down among the roots.
When the hole is about two-thirds
full. press down firmly with the feet
and then fill up and complete the job.

Time for PRUNING.

Most Towering shrubs bloom on
wood of the previous seasons growth.
hence these shrubs should be pruned
after the Towering season. Prune
currant and gooseberry bushes in the
spring, cutting out all dead canes and
many OF the Old canes to induce vigor
of growth and larger fruit.

STARTING AN ORCHARD IN THE
RIGHT WAY
Pruning and CuIvating Necessary
Results Prof ". III.
Agricultural College.

The first few years of the life of
an orchard is the most critical period
; of its existence, because neglect is
more likely to occur and the injuries
done at this time can, in many cases,
never be overcome by subsequent good
care. In my orchard of some 5000
apple trees are n few hundred each of
pear, plum, cherry and peach, a plan
somewhat as follows was pursued In
selecting apple, pear, cherry and plum
stock:
! took trees not more than two years
old from bud or graft In my judg-
ment trees of this age will stand
transplanting better than older ones.
and in the end will make better trees.
Peach trees are large enough at one
year and should never be older. Trees
were ordered in the fall for spring
shipment, at which season, in my case.
they were set out. bought from the
large nurseries that grow their own
stock and deliver direct from their
own grounds. The small nursery in
the locality of the orchard is usually
preferable for small quantities of
plants, but Is not available for large
orders. never buy from agents, be-
cause | object to paying their commits
sion. The nurseryman who is largely
dealer is also avoided, for every time
trees are handled the chance of mixing
verieties Increases and It becomes
more difficult to fix responsibility In
case of Misrepresentation.
Nurserymen are responding to the
popular demand for low-headed trees,
but they are not low enough yet. The
first branches should be not more than
30 inches from the ground and less
would usually be preferable. Ship
ments should be made as early in the
spring as weather conditions will per-
init and upon arrival the trees should
be unpacked and "heeled in" at once.
Transplantlng should be done Just as
early as the soil will work readily.
The roots should never be exposed
for any length of time to the sun and
wind, and should always go into the
soil wet. In the morning we take up
