PLANTING Orchard Gradually.

will suggest that enc acre is enough
for the family orchard, writes a Min
nesota orchardist, and | do not advise
planting it all the first year. AS the
years go by you will learn much from
experience. The best location is a north
or east slope, mainly because the trees
will no start growing so soon in the
spring, and because the soil will not
dry out so quickly. One can mulch
trees on a south slope to keep the
ground from thawing early in the
spring, but this does little good, for it
also takes cool air to keep the buds
from starting; this condition is more
natural on the north slope. But do not
give up planting an orchard, even if
0 do not have the ideal location, be-
u fruit will do fairly we'll on south
ern exposure. Be sure to put up a
good fence around the orchard site.
This is one of the things | might leave
to common sense? But | have noticed
in this line common sense is mighty

The following is taken from an ar
ticle in the North Dakota Farmers
Institute Annual:
III the farm is old, a good deal may
be learned by noticing the crops grow
ing, or taking account of the yields
per acre. But if the land is new some
other method must be followed. Per-
in use is that employed by the rail
roads in making their soil surveys.
Provide yourself with a spade or
Pinch augur having a shank at least
40 inches in length. Find a corner of
your land and work from hat along
one line. On a ruled piece Of paper
indicate the forties as you go along.
Go to the center or a high point and
map the whole area. Get the hills
accurately located and if there is a
creek fix it's location.
After the map is completed divide
your land into ten-acre plots and in
the center Of each make a hole. boring
at least 80 inches deep, and put down
in black and white what you find. In
connection with this, notice the ground
thrown up by badgers, prairie dogs
or gophers. Too much emphasis can
not be laid upon the matter of sub
soil and subsoil moisture. 1t marks
the line between arid and productive
lands. 1t means success or failure.
Where that subsoil in the middle Of
summer shows a plenty Of moisture,
the chance becomes a fair assurance.
But where the subsoil besides being
dry is leachy in character, unless you
can irrigate or live in the land Of
ma1y rains-don't buy.

Porous. Soil for Cabbage.

To be able to grow cabbage success
fully in any season the soil should be
in such condition that the waite will
pass through it as freely as it would
through a piece of pumice stone or
porous rock. AS a general r@le, the
poorer the soil the drier and more
porous it is. Thus it is that on the
comparatively poor farms better late
cabbage are grown than in the mar
ket gardens that are very rich. A sod
field broken early in the spring and
we'll MANFRED has generally been found
to grow the best cabbage. This does
not apply to the early crops. These
do best on the soils that are rich and
full of humus.
Low-priced fertilizers sometimes give
as good results as the higher priced
goods, but on the whole it will pay
to be liberal with nitrogen. The two
experiments indicate that it Is profit
able to use nitrate of soda on the
plant beds at the rate of $50 to 600
pounds per acre.

Disease in MILK.

Milk, when pure, is the best of food
but that it may become a menace tt
health is shown by the following from
a high medical authority:
1T has been demonstrated that dis
ease germs may not only survive, but
in many instances actually proliferate
in the milk, and it is not a difficult
matter to point out the many ways
by which these germs gain access, es-
pecially when some of the employees
are also engaged in nursing the sick,
or are suffering themselves from some
mild infection while continuing their
duties, or are convalescent from dis
ease, and thus infect the milk while
handling it.
ut is quite conceivable how animals,
in wading in filth and sewage-polluted
through it the milk, with the germs
of typhoid fever. We can also appre-
ciate how infected water may convey
the germs when used for washing he
utensils or in deliberate authorizations.
Infection may also take place through
the agency of scrubblnS brushes, dish
cloths, flies, and exposure to infected
air"
Scrnpinr bark from Trees.
AS to the advisability of scrapins
rough, or shaggy, bark from apple
trees. Prof. H.. A. Surface of Pehnsyl-
vania says:
This depends upon the conditions
in general. l would advise such treat
ment, especially where it is rough,
scaly bark of old trees; but If it be
bark that has been roughened by the
injurious action of oil sprays, or by
burning with fire or by some other
injury, I can assure o that I am
satisfied 1t would be wrong to scrape
off such bark; because it is to the ten
der bark underneath just what a scab
on an animal is to a sore which it
is protecting. Therefore, if the bark
beneath be tender, so that it would
be injured by being scraped, it is not
best to dc it. In the case of an ordi-
nary healthy tree it is certainly best,
but at injured places, such as above
mentioned, it is advisable to scrape
gently, if at all. On an old tree you
can not apply enough pressure with a
s~hort-handled doe or bark-scraper to
do any injury, and o will remove
many insect pests, such as codling
moth, woolly aphis and certain hiber-
mating creatures, and expose scale in
sects and other pests to the action of
the weather and of the insecticides,
which you will doubtless apply before
the leaves appear"
