A CHEAP MANURE SHED.

OF all things upon the farm the
question of how to get the best out
of manure should be foremost with
us all

feet high. The end boards are held
in place by stakes at two corners
while one side is movable and may
be left out until shed is partly filled
If all manure is gathered from the
COW lot every two or three days and
all sods and forest leaves about the
place gathered carefully together and
mixed with the stable manure and
the suds from the weeks washing put
on the manure and all forked over
frequently. farmers who are now
trudging along lifes rocky road with
only one suspender and tWine string
for a bride rein could be riding in
automobiles and private cars. It's the
little leaks that sink the ship and its
the manure that's leaked out and
wasted that bankrupts many farmers

GROWING APPLES UNDER IRRI-
CATION.
Planting Two Year-Old Trees and
Root Pruning Are Highly Recon-
nendeti.
By r.. l.. STEW ART,
I akima, " ash.

We have an ideal apple country and
there is not a 10-year-old apple or
chard in the Yakima valley that is
planted to the varieties demanded in
the East and has been we'll cared for
that can be bought to-day for less than
$500 to $1,000 per acre. and are even
selling up to $4,000 an acre.
With ordinary care in selection of
location and right varieties and plant
ed about eighty trees to the acre. your
orchard will in ten years be worth an
average Of $500 per acre. This would
be an increase Of $50 per acre each
year in the value OF your land.
The first five years you can grow
crops in the orchard to it's benefit. and
the next five years the orchard will
pay you twice as much as the same
acreage in hay or any cultivated crop.
AS to varieties. out Of 1000 dis
tinct varieties of winter apples we
should cOnfine our lists to less than
ten. and for my part, if planting 100
acres, / would not use over four Va
rieties. BY investigation decide what
you will plant, and pay no attention
to the tree agents hot air. who is
only interested in his commission, and
the more unstable varieties he can
work off on you the larger his profit
There are as good trees grown by
nurseries in the Yakima valley as any
better.
A large number OF writer's tell us
to pillow deeply, subsoil, dig alrge
holes. SO as to take roots without
cramping," etc. In our soil an or
dinary plowing IS all that Is needed
Neither is there any need for 'larg~
deep holes.''
cut off each lateral root to a length
Of two or three inches and for 2
year-old I would not plant a root over
six inches long. All authorities agree
that it is highly important to compact
the soil firmly about the roots and
that root cannot grow except the
soif is well firmed. etc. Then why dig
up large space just to get to firm It
back? l would say. dig small holes
Fifteen to eighteen inches across is
plenty large.
Then instead Of trimming the broken
roots as most writer's advise. I would
cut each root. as stated above to a
length OF three to six inches. In this
way we establish the visions of the
root system close in to the trunk. and
for each root cut Off we get from three
to five punches. multiplying by that
much the food gathiring capacity of
the system.
AS the success OF the tree depends
on its roots. we cannot take too much
pe'ihS Al Gazing AOI tHeu by rights,
no tree should ever leave the nursery
until it is 2 years old. It should be
taken up as yearling, its roots close
ly pruned to make them branch reset
headed and allowed to grow year
before being permanently planted
All things considered, I believe g
year-oid-trees are best, for the reason
that their roots have more wood in
them and can stand more exposure
without serious damage than 1-year-
ola trees In handling trees remem-
Der they can stand being out Of soil
ABOUT as we'll as a fish out of water.
