CULTIVATION OF PEACH TREE
Thorough Culture Kills Weeds and
Forms Mulch Conserving Much
of the Soil Moisture.

1t is very essential to take the very
best possible care OF the young trees.
They should be kept thrifty and
healthy, and all. the necessary care
given them to conserve the moisture
and plant food in the soil.
Early in the spring, as soon as the
soil will permit, it should be stirred
six to eight inches deep; thus if the
trees have been planted as deeply as
they should, blowing this depth will
cause them to produce a deep root
system which will not be injured as
quickly by freezing or drought. After
this blowing the fertilizer should be
applied and worked with a disk har-
row or cultiyator.
Frequent civilizations should be
given with the cultivator or disk har-
row, running deep enough to form a
good soil mulch and prevent subse-
quent baking or crusting of the sur
face and prevent loss of soil moisture
by evaporation. Thorough culture
kills all the weeds, which are a con-
slant drain on the soil moisture and
plant food and also assists in de-
composing and liberating any plant
food which may have been turned I'M

GOOD CULTURE OF POTATOES
DesirabiIity of Planting Seed Deep I'M
Soii-NeW Land Planted to
Clover Is Best.

In growing potatoes, my pet idea Is
to plant the seed deep so the crop
will get all the moisture possible. Let
the seed be at least or . inches
below the level OF the soil in which,
the potatoes are planted, says writ,
er in the American Cultivator.
By all means set the seed in deep.
We need not cover them full depth
when planted, but leave the burrows
to be filled in gradually during the
subsequent civilizations. Do not hill
the potatoes much; just round the
earth about the vines sufficiently to
keep the tubers well covered over
Soil suitable for potato growing must
be well drained and when this has
been done. either naturally or arti-
ticially, 1t is very important, this
planting deeply so the roots will form
well down deep in the moist, cool
soil, which makes ideal conditions for
the production of large tubers in
abundance. This Is the principle of
so-called trench culture" of potatoes.
Happily, We can perform now nearly
all the work OF cultivation and har-
vesting by machines run by horse
power, thus doing away with the
costly and tedious hand labor. In
growing all crops We must cut down
the expense Of culture to the lowest
possible mark.
In selecting soil for potato culture.
new land or land recently in grass
and clover affords ideal conditions for
the growth of the potato. The second
season after blowing up the grass or
clover sod Is much more suitable for
potato culture than the first, as OBJ
viously We cannot plant the seed
deep on a new tough sod, but year
or two, first in corn culture, will
tame the sod so as to At 1t admirably

CIGAR BOXES OF CARDBOARD
Cedar That They Readily Pass
for the Real Thing.

There are now made cigar boxes of
cardboard in such exact imitation of
Spanish cedar boxes that they might
anywhere be taken for the real thing.
Three layers of a cardboard special
ly made for the purpose are pressed
together to produce board of precise
ly the right thickness, and then upon
the outer side there is printed, from
an engraved plate and with correct
coloring, Photographic reproduction
OF sheet Of actual Spanish cedar;
this reproduction showing the grain
OF the wood with all it's variations and
even the tiny little knots, if there are
any.

so that they require neither mailing
nor sewing. The end pieces, cut out
separately, are wire stitched in by ma
chine, and then the cover is put on.
being hinged with the usual piece of
muslin.
These cardboard boxes made in i'm
itation of cedar are finished in reg
ulation manner, paper lined and with
the usual paper flap to cover the Gig
ars. The outer edges are paper bound
in the usual fashion. In its finished
state the box contains one nail, the
nail always found at the center of the
front edge of the cigar box to hold the
cover down. These boxes sell for

in the upper part of the framework
and their connections with the block
and tackle below. The old-fashioned
guy ropes, usually fastened to the
head of the tree, are discarded, as they
have frequently proved to be injurious
by discOnnecting or loosening the
roots from the ball of earth.
In order to get the wagon directly
over the ball of the tree, and also over
the hole where the tree is to be re-
planted, the rear axle of the wagon is
removed, and the back of the truss or
elevated framework upon which the
tree is suspended keeps this part OF
the wagon together at any width re
quired. To prevent damage to grass
areas, wide tires are used. In the case
illustrated, 14-inch tires were used on
the rear wheels.

RIGHT TIME TO PLANT TREE
Work Should Be Dons Just as Soon
as New Growth Is About to
Begin-Start With Season.

1t may be said that the right time to
plant any tree, root or shrub is Just as
the new growth is about to begin. Il
follows from this that the planting
season may be prolonged If the tree
or plant can be kept in a dormant con-
dition. This Is constantly done by
keeping trees In a low temperature
until two weeks after the natural
planting time.
But there are other considerations.
besides the convenience Of the plan
ter. A tree will make better, heal
thier growth, If it starts with the sea
son. The condition of the soil is
more likely to be right then, than
later. We are more certain of suffi-
cient moisture, and just the proper
amount of heat. Later there may be
a lack of rain, and too much heat.
And yet We sometimes have in the
early part of the season too much
rain. so that the soil is really not fit
10 work. It is too much like mortar.
So 1t is sometimes necessary to hold
trees waiting for the proper condition
of soil So it can be seen that the
best general rule is to plant just be-
fore the new growth starts.
There is no harm done If the buds
swell and open, and the leaves begin
to expand, provided the weather is not
too hot and dry. But it is preferable,
because little safer, to set them out
say twenty-four hours before the buds
open.
1t goes without saying that trees
may be successfully transplanted both
earlier and later than the ideal time.
1t is done often.

Learn to Graft,

Why not urge the boys to expert
ment in grating different kinds Of
fruit trees? Dig up some small fruit
trees, such as plum, cherry, apple or
peach. Some of which can be raised
by planting the seed. The plum and
cherry trees can be found almost any
time where the sprouts come from the
old tree. Then get some limbs from
a tree of the same kind and of a
choice variety and bury them all in a
box of dry dirt in the cellar. At any
time during the winter or spring graft
them and put them back in the dirt

Rape for RoQs.

Rape may be sown as late as the

good pasture for hogs, says writer
in the National Stockman. 1t is a
good thing to SOW in the corn at the
last cultivation, but owing to the fact
that 1t winter-kills I should like to
SOW something else with it. I expect
to seed down five acres of corn with
the following mixture per acre: One
bushel soy beans, four pounds of rape
seed and one and one-half gallons Of
