FALL TREATMENT
OF BUSH FRUITS

Unless needed to protect the young canes
against breskage from high winds 1t is sdvant-
ageOus cut out the old canes as soon as the
crop is gathered. This improves the appearance
of the plantation.
II admits sunlight too. aiding materially in
promoting health and vigor in the young canes.
Then. too, where insects and fungus diseases
are troublesome the cutting away and burning
Of the old canes aids very materially In les
sening the damage to the plantation through
ravages of these pests.
The fall months is the period during which
the growth already made is ripened and placed
into condition to Withstand the rigors Of win
ter.
Under normal conditions this course is follow
ed and any growth made during the late fall
is in every way unfit to produce fruit OF prime
quality.
Therefore, the aim of the grower should he
TO promote, by all means possible, a full normal
development In cane growth during the fall
months.
The sowing Of some grain as oats, or peas.
at the last cultivation is. under most condi-
tions, most excellent plan to follow out
The benefits accruing from the plan are man
fold. This growth OF grain soon comes on and
furnishes a protection to the surface soil which
would otherwise remain exposed TO the action
of the elements.
II is a distinct advantage to have the pro-
lection afforded by such cover crop as
growth approprates elements Of plant food
that might otherwise be lost through washing
of the soil or the elemental actions.
This growth not only affords protection
through the fall months. but during the winter
and early spring 1t continues to be a source
Of revenue.
In the end. this growth. which is killed by
the freezing Of winter is cultivated into the
soil by the first working given the planta ton
where by degrees 1t becomes Incorporated with
the soil. Both top and root growth. the ele-
ments of plant food contained therein revert
again To a soluble form, the fihrOus parts
going toward maintaining of the proper pro-
portion OF humus content in the soil.
In those ATTITUDES where there is no frost
or not sufficient frost TO kill the grain TO
be used in the cover crop, such crop might
become nuisance. and hence I would advise
the growing OF such crop only after expert
ments have proven the feasibility Of the plan.

pie dealers will want from 80 cents to 81 dis

Just when to pick fruit so that it will not
be too ripe and so II will not be too green, is
sometimes a hard problem.
Where a man has large orchard and only
small force to do his work, be VIII have to
commence earlier; and possibly the first fruit he
picks will be too green, and the last fruit he
picks will be too ripe.
He must so plan his work that the bulk OF
his fruit will be picked about the proper time.
The heaviest shrinkage I ever sustained in
cold storage, except on windtalls and apples
picked off Of the ground, was on fruit that
seemed to be perfect when IL came in, beautiful
and highly colored. large and smooth; yet in
side OF a month or two ! noticed that these
barrels were slack.
Inside of three and one-haf months the
shrlnkage was such that they had TO be re-
packed. In four or five months the shrinkage
very great.
age, for there others right beside it, in
the same room, the same temperature, the same
humidity. and the same care, and practically
shrinkage at all.
What was the cause of this fruit not keep
ing? Nothing more less than because the
apples had been allowed to fully mature on
the trees.
The best and surest way TO handle fruit fully
matured is to put il on the market at once.
Most any man with medium sized orchard
can pick and pack the greater portion of his
fruit without II being fully ripe; but in case
he cannot he would better have 1t little green
than too ripe.
Green fruit VIII gradually mellow IN cold
storage, and such varieties as Huntsman and
Grimes Golden will gradually change from
green in color TO yellowish tinge very much
Ike the natural color of the fruit when ripe.
Ben Davis and Winesap and some other sorts,
however. win not change much. II any.
II therefore is very desirable tnat the red
apples be allowed to mature as much as posi-
BILE without getting too ripe in order to get
the proper color.
Good nice apples always sell for much greater
prices later in the season and therefore II is
profitable TO have them placed in cold storage
in the proper condition so as to keep well.

A Covered Feed Rack

One of the most serviceable buildings abouts

or grains. 1t answers also for shade during the
summer and shelter for the manure depositsed

sheeting of common plank is nailed on up
on which a roof of straw old hay is placed.
Strips are nailed to the rafter braces to which

A feed trough for grains, mill feed and roots
is built on each side

Care of POULTRY

II does not require much hard work to keep
flock in good condition in the summer but
absolute neglect will often completely destroy
the winter g-producing qualities OF ont only
the old hens but the pullets well.
If you have not removed every window IN
the chicken house and substituted wire netting
in order to provide perfect ventilation do so
at once.
Better that the chicks roost in the trees than
that they should be confined in vermin-ridden
building.
Body lice will worry flock to death, or
nearly as to destroy it's usefulness. These
can be killed but not easily.
Persian insect powder will do the business.
II should be applied with powder spray by
person while another holds the fowls
by the legs so that the powder may reach
every part Of the skin through the disturbed
feathers.

More Bushels From Less
Ground

The possibility of producing more bushels of
grain from a given area, and thereby reduc
ing the cost Of production per bushel, is shown
by President Waters, Of the Kansas Agricul-
tural school, when he says that, where Kansas
college BRED wheat has been used for seed,
the acreage yield has been increased five bushels
per acre in that state Similarly gratifying
results have been obtained in other states. In
Minnesota the yield has been greatly increased.
Trials by 50 farmers In that state resulted in
an average increase of SO busels.
With better cultivation. better seed selec-
ton, better fertilization, and rational rota-
ton of crops, every farmer may increase his
output and correspondingly reduce the cost of
production.
