.HNOTESSlRs,e

Montmorency Is called the king Of
cherries.
Cultivation is one of the four great
essentials in orchard management.
The effectiveness of sprays and
emulsions is gained only by regular
application.
Packages should be of full measure.
To fall short in measure is to provoke
a customer.
Fruit not perfect enough for other
uses may be made into cider and then
into vinegar.
The taste for good fruit may be so
cultivated that it will be had, even at
a larger price.
Midsummer pruning heals quickly
and is being practiced extensively by
good orchardists.
First-class fruit in f1rst.class shape
will probably create an inquiry for
more of the same kind.
Peach trees make good stock for
plum grating, as they usually have
large vigorous roots.
If you have a poor Seeding pear or
apple tree it may be entirely made
over by top grating.
A large orchard poorly planted and
poorly tended will not produce as good
results as fewer trees we'll cultivated.
Hundreds of trees set every year die
because of the neglect of the owners.
It is not always the fault of the nur-
serymen.
If you did not have, Strawberries
enough, fall set beds, set early and
we'll cultivated and mulched, come in
nicely next spring.
In growing all kinds Of berries there
is much more danger of getting too
much bearing wood and too many
plants than too few.

WOMAN WORKS OUT PROBLEM
Mrs. Sarah Erickson Declares the Hen
Lays an Egg at the Same Hour
She Was Born.
What time O day
Does q hen law


That question has puzzled poultry
fanciers for unnumbered decades, but
now, 1t seems, it has been satisfactor-
lily solved by woman. She is Mrs
Sarah Erickson of Faleoner, N. Y.
Having kept chickens for 81 years.
she believes she qualities as an expert
In this line of effort.
Il have worked out the problem"
she declares. "By using marked leg
bands, trap nests and alarm clocks at
tached to the nests have determined
that hen lays an egg at the same
hour, minute and second that she was
born, or, rather, Matched. For in
stance, If the hen happened to be able
to peck its way through its shell at
TAB a. M, she will lay an egg at pre-
cisely TAB a. m. And she will do this
without variation every time she is in
clined to lay. have kept close, sys-
tematic watch on my hens for FIVE
years, and have never known the
rule to fail"

Sang for Sultan.

Mulai Hafid, the ex-Su1tan of Moroc-
co, while staying at Vichy, in France,
made an excursion to Les Ardoisieres,
says the "Matin," where Napoleon III.
used often to go for rest. Three young
girls, sisters, timidly approached the
Sultan and asked him to sign post
cards. Mulai Hafid consented on con
dition that they would each sing
song to him. Two of the girls at
once complied, and the delighted Mu-
lai Hafid wrote on their cards words
which, translated, mean: Like Ma
poleon Ill, l have visited Les Ardoi-
sieres, where have enjoyed together
with the calm and freshness of ma
ture, the grace and charm of the
voices of Miles. Paulette and Clio
tide" The third girl did not know
how to sing, but one Of her sisters
having sung for her the Sultan added
the name of Gabrielle.

STORAGE HOUSE FOR APPLES
Structure as Shown In Illustration 10
Partially Underground and No
Refrigeration Needed.

Where apples are produced on a
large scale it generally pays the
grower to have storage houses of his
own, for then he is able to hold his
fruit and put it on the market when
ever he pleases. The accompanying
illustration shows the exterior of a
good structure for such a purpose De-
pending on size and locality where
erected, it will cost from $1,000 to
$4,000. Dimensions about S5 by 40
feet, though it may be built larger or
smaller as desired. 1t is a two-story-
that is, it has lower and upper floor,
the former being partly underground.
No Ice or artificial refrigeration of any
kind whatever is used; rather the
temperature is controlled by means Of
the windows and the ventilator on top.

AFTER-CARE OF STRAWBERRY
Special Attention Required for Future
Production After the Crop Has
Been Gathered.

After a strawberry crop is gath
cred the plants will require special
cultural attention If they are to re-
main for the production of berries
the succeeding year, says Michigan
Farmer. The limited cultivation pos.
sible while the crop is developing in
the spring is not sufficient to keep
down weeds, so that under ordinary
conditions these are present in a lib
eral number and generous size and
demand removal by the time one can
get to them after the harvest.
Old plants that have spent their
energy will only obstruct the chances
Of the patch for another season.
These need not be cut out with weeds.
The SOIL stirred but little and packed
hard by the repeated trampings Of the
pickers, is in a poor state to begin
the growth Of new plants and ripen
another crop Of berries.
Deep and frequent cultivation is
the only way to put soil in condition,
and If it lacks in the elements of fer
tilitythere should be added and worked
into the soil quantity of well-rotted
manure or commercial fertilizers if
the former is lacking, or both, to re-
plenish the plant food taken out by
the last crop. After this has been
done the old crowns will send out rum
ners in every direction.
If these are permitted to establish
themselves at random 1t would be
but short time till all trace Of the
old rows is obliterated. The proven
ton lies in training the new plants
into rows corresponding to those oc-
cupied by the old plants. This is done
by following special method of cul-
ture. Run horse pillow about six
inches from the center of each row
on both sides, throwing the soil away
from the row, thus leaving an undis
turbed portion one foot wide

SELECTION OF ORCHARD SITE
Common Error Is to Choose Soil That
Is Too Rich for AppIes-Wood
Is Not Wanted.

A common mistake in the selection
of site for the apple orchard tract,
large or small, is that of choosing a
soil that is too rich; that will cause
abundant growth Of wood, but mighty
little fruit. In the valley in which the
writer's ranch is located is an orchard
OF mature apple trees, as pretty
sight from a standpoint of foliage as
one could ask to see, which has lately
been felled because it did not deliver
the goods.
The tract is fat, rich and we'll wa
tered. Within a gunshot of this tract
is block of winter Nellis pear trees
of the same age that for several years
past have crossed their owners close
to a thousand dollars per acre, says
a writer in an exchange. Never was
more emphatically demonstrated the
fact that soil can be too rich for
apples but not for pears. Within a
mile Of these unproductive apple trees,
on thinner and lighter granite soils,
the apple trees bear POLITICALLY to the
point Of breaking down.
