Only nice, smooth. solid, sound ears

rapidly decay. So Mr.. Strinsfe1low's
argument hat it is useless to plant
these roots seems to be borne out by
the experiments Of the past ten years.
It is now conceded by perhaps a ma
jority of progressive orchardists that
when roots are closely trimmed. the
tan root grows down more deeply ana
the tree stands a better chance OF IV-
ing and growing vigorously.
In the matter Of pruning, there is
yet a great difference of opinion. There
are MANY advocates of vigorous trim
ming, particularly for loW-headed eff
fects. but there are those who claim
that much heavier crops are obtained
bv the tree to grow in its
natural way. pruning only enough to
remoVe the surplus wood and admit
the sunshine.
While the long tap root would nat
urally supply more moisture than
roots close to the surface, there is no
doubt that the latter will gather more
plant food because it lies close to
the surface.

TREE PLANTING BY STRING
FELLOW METHOD.

To the Editor--I was much inter
ested in a description | read recently
OF the new method of planting adopted
by some English growers-that of
ramming the roots into small opening
like setting q fence post. Is not this
about the same Gs the StringfefloW
method of which / know but little p
j. G.
The method referred to is almost
the same as the Stringfellow method.
Mir. Stringfellow believes in the fol-
lowing: Prune the tree very closely 1T
both top and root.
Make openings only large enough TO
lake in the root, and pack the soil
firmly by tramping with the foot. or
even ramming with a round-headed
stick.
Prune very sparingly, if any, until
the trees come into the first or even
second years bearing-just enough
to keep the tree In decent form.
When this method was first advo-
Gated by Mr.. Stringfellow. a Texas
grower, it was received with little
favor by practical orchardists. some
of them even ridiculing the idea, say
ing that tanning the soil tightly
about the roots would prevent growth,
However, numerous experiments,
which ave been conducted along this
line the past few years show that thu
method has considerable merit, after
all.
Most good or~chardists now believe
IL trimming the roots very closely. and
there is no doubt that it is much
better to cut the tops back very vigor-
ously rather than 10 plant them just
as they come from the nursery.
In pruning the roots. MIR. String
fellow leaves one principal tan root
rather long, and says that his expert
ments show that by trimming the side
roots closely q deep root growth will
be obtained.
Some Of the most prominent or
chardists IN the country declared that
il the roots were closely pruned thew
would rot and cause the tree to die.
However, experiments have shown this
to be falIacy.
The fact is that when q tree Il start

FEEDING FOR HEALTH AND
VITALITY.
tBy w. NJ. K E

I believe it is time that We dairy
men took a more rational view Of u
business and feed our COWS in a man
ner that would promote their health
and vitality instead Of forcing them to
their very limits, as is the practice IN
many sections where dairying IS the
exclusive branch Of agriculture. We
are feeding too narrow rations for the
good of our cows.
Cows hat are raised and developed
on clover hay, ensilage, wheat, bran
and oats, with good IuSariant pasture
grass during the summer will make
better cows than those that are over
fed on a ration III adapted to their
needs. l will stake my reputation on
his fact. We may not make as much
milk, but we will have better pro-
ducing COWS and calves, and what
milk we do make will be made cheap
er and our herd will gradually be get
ting better.
l do not care whether a ration is l
to 4 or ! to Z as long as it does the
business and is beneficial to the health
of the cattle. Then, again. the aver
~dalryHan does not employ meth
DDS best calculated to give the best re-
suits in breeding. Some dairymen will
raise every heifer calf born on his
farm, while another dairyman will not
raise any. I wish we could induce
dairynen to make some Exchange Of
calves whereby only the best calves
from high-producing COWS Mould be
raised.
IN this way dairymen who had the
acsa.ttes for raising and developing
the heifers could go out and get the
very best calves and raise them and
sell them for a good price instead
OF growing the Weedy, inferior calves
that were born on his farm.
This would do more than any one
thing to improve the quality OF our
dairy herds, and rover could realize
greatly increased profits upon the
cows that they raised. In connection
with this calf exchange there would
need to be a system Of selection, for
the laws of haredity control the dairy
function as fully as they do the other
characteristics.
The matter Of providing comfortable
and sanitary stables for dairy cat
tie Is a matter that Is rapidly an
preaching a science. Years ago COW
stables We're perfectly ventilated bv
half-inch cracks between the boards.
but these stables proved too cold for
winter milk production, and farmers
We're advised to build their stables
tight, inclosing them with matched
lumber, and not to allow their cows
TO go outside during cold weather.

Some even went to the extreme #
warming the cows drinking water for
them in the stable.
The result of these close. warm sta
bles was Initiated air. lack Of exercise.
debility and tuberculosis. Next, dairy
men were advised to allow a certain
numbe of cubic feet OF air space for
each animal when building their sta
bles, and many Of these stables proved
too cold for winter milk production
and too damp for the health OF the
cattle. Now the stable question seems
narrowed down to a practical system
of ventilation and many Of the most
practical dairymen are putting in such
a SYSTEM.
Suitable feed, pure water. good VEN
t~ilation and proper exercise are al
necessary. The great question for
practical dairymen is 10 draw d line
between the essentials ana the non
essentials.
Water in front Of each COW is 8 nice
thing, but if the cow are not turned
out for exercise each day, it is d Ques-
ton whether K is a good thing or not
[ would much prefer not TO ave water
in front of my cows, If it was to be
used as an excuse for not turning
them out to exercise in the yard,

moving all CRIME. dirt and grease. lt
is most essential that you clean Oil all
cog wheels, shafts and bearings. IN
doing this, one will ascertain where all
taps, bolts, straps of iron, castings ana
pieces Of wood are loose. damaged or
missing. These should be fully re-
placed or repaired while they are fresh
in the mind, lest they be neglected TIL

oiled, carefully wrapped in old dry
