~VERY farm should have at
least a few fruit trees to pro-
Il vide fruit for home use. Where
soil and climate are favorable
and a good market can be secured
fruit growing for market is very
profitable business.
The most important point In plan
ming an orchard is selecting the lOca-
ton. The land should be naturally
well drained If possible. II not, arti-
fetal drainage should be resorted to.
A moderate northeast slope is the most
desirable. Trees on a north slope do
not start as quickly in the spring, and
the danger of having the fruit buds
nipped by an untimely frost is less
ened. An orchard on such a slope
also suffers less from sun scald and
drought.
II the hill on which the farm build
ings are placed is large enough the
orchard can be located on the north
slope and the buildings on the south.
A windbreak Of double row Of ever
green's on the west and north VIII stop
the snow in winter and help to keep
the fruit from being blown off In sum
mer. To complete this protection the
windbreak will have to be extended all
the way around, since In summer many
of the heavy winds come from south
erly direction.
Air Drainage.
The question of air drainage is fully
as important as that Of water drainage.
Cold air is heavy and drains rapidly
into the hollows, while the air on the
slopes is warm and dry. The differ
ence of a few feet in elevation often
makes a difference Of several degrees
In temperature An orchard located on
a rise Of land will escape many of the
frosts that cut down the profits In an
orchard less favorably located. Trees
on a hill are also less likely to be trou-
bled with fungous diseases, since dry
air is not favorable to them.
A soil too rich in nitrogen promotes
leaf and wood growth at the expense
Of fruit. For this reason black prairie
soil is not so well adapted to fruit
growing as some other lands. Loamy
clay soil underlaid with porous sub
soil makes an ideal foundation for an
orchard. Cleared timberland Is also
very good.
You cannot expect success with an
orchard If you plant the trees in a
hole in the sod. The land should be
put In to some cultivated crop for at
least year before setting out the
trees. This gets the soil In good tilth,
and the trees will have a fair chance
from the start.
What to Plant.
Having decided on the location for
the orchard, the next step is to select
the kinds and varieties Of fruit to be
grown. The apple is the most widely
grown tree fruit in this country. 1t
has hardy varieties that can be grown
well up into the northern sections

make the back burrows where the rows
are to be and the dead burrows between
the rows. The dead burrows will thus
serve as bitches to carry of surplus
water. 1t is better to do this blowing
In the fall If the preceding crop can
be got off the land in time. In the
south the planting may be done In the
fall also, but in sections where the
ground freezes to any depth it is safer
to plant in the spring. Fail planted
trees are liable to root killing during
the winter. In the drier parts Of the
country, too, the roots do not get sufa-
Client moisture to supply the trunk and
branches, and the tree is 80 badly
dried out during the winter that 1t
Is killed.
In lands with stiff subson running
a subsoil pillow down the row before
planting is practiced with good results.
In extremely hard soils a little dyna-
mite exploded in the bottom of the
hole loosens up the subsol consid-
erably. The hole should be dug lar
ger than the roots of the tree and
fine soil thrown in around the roots.
The roots should be well spread out
and the tree set three or four inches
deeper than 1t is to be finally BY
taking hold of the top and churning 1t
up and down after the roots have been
covered with dirt the soil Will be thor
oughly worked In around the roots.
As the tree is worked up and down It
Is gradually raised to the proper height
Part of the top should be cut of be-
fore planting. The top is dependent
on the roots for its moisture supply.
A considerable part of the root sys-
TEN has been lost in transplanting, and
the top should be cut back to match.
In planting one or two-year-old trees,
known as whips" this cutting back
serves a double purpose by causing
the tree to throw out branches just
below where it is cut of. In trees of
this kind the cut should be a few
inches above where the first branches
are to be.
There Is considerable difference of
opinion concerning the proper height
to head apple trees Low headed trees
are much less liable to sun scald since
the branches shade the trunk. They
ere easier to spray. and the apples can
be more easily gathered. There is also
much less damage from large branches
being broken off by the wind. The
chief objection to low heading is that
It Is difficult to get near the tree when
cultivating the orchard. This objec-
ton, however, is hardly enough to out
weigh the advantages Of low heading.
If the soil is firmly packed there is
little need of using water In the hole
when planting trees. The dirt should
be packed very firmly around the
roots. Get In with both feet and pack
It as hard as possible. 1t Is good
plan to lean the trees little to the
south In or 'er that the branches may
shade the trunk better and also be-
cause the hardest winds in summer
are usually from a southerly direction.
The standard distance apart for APP
ME trees is thirty-two to forty feet
each way. Plum and cherry trees
may be as close as twenty feet. APP
pie trees are often planted 10 by 80
feet, the alternate rows being Of some
early bearing, short lived variety.
When the latter trees come into bear
Rng thsse fiiiers should b cut out.

DEFINITIONS.
Some Queer Ones Cleaned From Q
Hich School Examination.

High School Examination.
Among the questions in an examina-
ton In definitions in a well regulated
high school in an eastern city we're
these: what is bronchoY' "What is
a boomerang?" what Is a panto-
MINER "What Is a cartoonT And
these four excited some most remark
able answers. The following bona f1de
replies, taken at random from the pa
pers, show in many cases decided orig
inality, to say the least but they like
wise display the effect of imperfect
enunc1ation and pronunciation and Of
the association Of ideas without due
regard to sense"
In reply to the first query, What is
bronchoY were the following: A
broncho is an herb used as a medicine,
part of your body, a foreigner, a
man that lives on ranches.
"What is boomerangT called
forth, among others, these: A boomer
ang is a species of the baboon family.
what an Indian chews, something ex-
plosive.
The replies to what is a panto-
miner included the following: A pan
tomime is an animal that eats human
flesh, a person who finds fault man
who is always on the bad side of ev-
erything, trunk, box to carry peo-
pie In, resting on the shoulders of foul
men; vision Of ones former sins.
AS for the question What is a car
toon?' that seemed to excite the wild
est ideas of all, and there were brought
forth such answers as these: A car
toon is vessel for holding articles, q

bunch of flowers presented to hero
or nobleman, soldiers water bottle

while other varieties are adapted to
southern conditions. The plum Is even
more hardy than the apple, and some
of the improved varieties give as de-
licious fruit as could be asked for.
Cherries are also fairly hardy, and a

dint of much squeezing through mar

man who must pay the $4,000,
Mr.. Crabbe refuses to say whether
he has that amount of money. He
is reputed to be worth 100000.
Crabbe reiterates his RENAL
