TIMELY NOTES OF THE FARM

II you wish to increase the fertility
of the farm, raise more clover, feed
the hay to the stock and return the
manure to the soil.
A good orchard fertilizer: Four hun
dred pounds of ground bone and 300
pounds of muriate of potash to the
acre.
Don't plow an orchard when the
trees are in blossom; do 1t before or
after. Some growers say that work
ing the soil at blossom time causes
the bloom to drop prematurely.
If the orchard needs draining, bet
ter attend to the matter at once. Wet
feet do not make fine fruit.
Robins and orioles should be pro-
tected from human vandals. Every
one of them is worth $3.50 apiece,
even If they do get few cherries.
Why. their early morning songs Of
good cheer is worth more money. The
oriole is one of the busiest insect de-
stroyers in the list.
Have you bees in hte orchard? If
not, why not?
Polarization is positive necessity
If we want fruit and the bee is the
best agent there is to effect 1t. Then
you get besides the honey, making a
double crop of fruit and honey. If you
sow some alfalfa near by you can
have a rich harvest of the honey. Be
careful about spraying in blooming
time on account of the bees
