AN ACT OF HERoIsM

Denied at the White

W4eHNGToN, D. c., July 49,

Ready for Youno Trees,

While the stock Is coming, prepare
the ground. 1t will not be necessary
to add new soil as the trees have been
selected with reference to the kind
found where they are to be planted.
Dig very large holes and fill them in.
The trees always do better in filled
ground than they do In that which has
not been broken up. n the land is
sod. It would be well to plow the en-.
tire strip. as grass is a great enemy to
newly planted things. When the trees
arrive, take them at once to scme
friable land near where they are to
be planted and heel them in. Nursery
stock is often injured by being kept
too long in boxes. After the plants
are heeled In 1t will be safe to trans.
plant them to. permanent places any
time within Q week or ten days from
the l.me Of their arrival.

MULCHING FOR FRUIT VINES
Practice Prevents Growth Of Weeds,
Retains Moisture and Adds
Needed Humus to Soil.

A successful West Virginia raspber-
~ grower gives the following reasons
for mulching:
It prevents the growth Of weeds.
1t retains moisture In the soil.
It adds humus. one Of the necessary
elements.
1t keeps the fruit clean and pre-.
vents mud at picking time.
1t saves labor. the cost Of mulching
an acre with forest leaves or straw
not exceeding SIS.
It prevents deep freezing.
It makes the fruit more solid for
cultivation and better for shipping
purposes.
1t prevents the baking Of the soil
caused by tramping at picking time.
1t has the disadvantage Of encourag.
Ing mice and establishing Q surface

Mellowed and Then Covered Two

Sprirg-rlanted fruit and ornamental
trees and bushes should have tho
ground forked up and we'll mellowed
and then covered two inches deep
with long manure, straw. corn stalks,
rotted leaves, weeds or freshly cut

Garden Cart and Wheelbarrow.

On an average fully one-half Of the
trees that die the first summer could
have been saved had they been prop.
erly mulched and given o little water
when needed.
Young trees planted In exposed po'
sitions. where they are liable to heavy
wind and transforms. should be staked
and the trees tied to the stakes with
a rye straw or canvas band. An old
sail cut into strips makes excellent
bands. To keep the roots from being
loosened, where ground is soft, place
four or i've large stones on top Of the
mulch close up to tho stem OF tree.
Two of the most handy implements
on the farm for general. all-around
work, are the old.fashioned wheel

Evergreens ought to be planted as
early as possible.
When buds begin to swell the time
10 right to top-graft.
Prune sparingly and little every
year. Is the best plan.
Just as soon now as frost Is out, the
ground will be ready for tree planting.
In that order for fruit trees, you
can't 60 wrong by putting in q few
Jonathan apples.
The era of the haphazard and care.
less horticulturist and agriculturist
has passed away.
For orchard spraying three-eighths
or half.inch hose Is best. and In
lengths of so feet.
Soil for Strawberries should be o
deep, rich loan. capable OF holding q
good deal Of moisture.
II is not . good plan to plant trees
while the ground is wet and soggy.
Let It dry out q little.
Don't get the idea that you cannot
obtain satisfactory results from spray
ing just because your neighbor failed.
Be sure that all Of your hose coup
iings are Of the same size so that any
two lengths may be coupled together.
Any tendency to fancy. shaped flower
beds and fancy flower stands and such
grimcracks should be firmly sup
pressed.
Do not expect satisfaction from
bordeaux mixture that has stood for
as much as "a hours. It deteriorates
quickly.
When done spraying each day. run
some clean water through the pump.
to wash out the spray mixture and
avoid corrosion OF the working parts.
