Rhubarb is one of the standard gar

The green food problem in winter
isn't much of problem ii there Is any

All the kernels of an ear of corn are
approximately of the same compost
ton, but different ears vary consider
ably.
Experienced onion growers do not
advise nor follow the practice of plant
ing onions on raw or new land as a
first crop.
Consider the clovers. 1t often means
the difference between failure and sue
cess. The clovers are almost indspen-
sable in the farm scheme.
: The sooner manure is spread in the
field, the smaller the loss of fertility
incurred and the smaller the amount
of labor required to handle it.
The common disk harrow is more
generally used than any other imple
ment to cultivate alfalfa, anG when
properly adjusted does good work.

WHAT "cRoP ROTATION" DOES
One of Simplest and Most Practical
Ways by Which Income of Farm
May Be Increased.

Ihe rotation OF crops is one of the
Simplest and most practical WAYS by
which the income of the farm may be
increased without greatly adding to
the cost of operation.
The rotation OF crops is the alterna-
ton OF the three general classes of
farm crops; namely, grain crops,
grass crops and cultivated crops. so
that a crop from each of the three
classes will appear on each field at
'elst once during each cycle of the
rotation.
Under grain crops" such crops as
wheat, barley, fax and millet may be
c!asscd, in their relation to the soil.
MiIlet, though grown for hay. has
practically the same effect on the soil
as grain crop. These crops deplete
the soil of vegetable matter, allow
weeds to grow, and have a tendency
to deplete the productive power OF the
land.
Under grass crops" may be includ-
ed timothy, bromus and the clovers.
Though the clovers are not true
grasses, they have heavy root sys-
TENS, and add vegetable matter to the
soil. The clovers also add nitrogen
to the soil; but their chief value in
rotation seems to be due to the fact
that their heavy root-systems fill the
soil with vegetable matter, thus max
Ing it more hospitable to plants.
Under cultivated crops may be
placed corn, potatoes and root crops.
Owing to their cultivation during
growth, these crops have a cleaning
effect on the soil. They are, however,
exhaustive of soil fertility. because the
constant cultivation encourages the
liberation OF large quantities OF plant
food. These crops leave the soil in
good condition for succeeding grain
crops.

HORTICULTURAL
. .HQHNOTES&s<S5SSz$asse &s<S5Sza

Prune the rose bushes. You want
blossoms, not wood or leaves.
Prune off all dead or weak branch
es. Thin out the tops to let the sun
in.
Keep the orchard land in good tilth
The trees can be set as soon as the
leaves fall.
Frequent applications OF manure
water during the summer will keel
the plants blooming.
In planting young trees they should
be set about an inch deeper than they
were in the nursery
Tobacco stems strewn on the
ground at the base of rose plants will
help to keep away insects.
Nasturtiums and morning giories
should be planted wherever there is
anything to train them on.
Just as soon as frost is out and the
ground dry enough it will be time to
set out the strawberry plants.
The ground for strawberries must
be dug over very deeply and as early
in the spring as it can be worked.
One of the most common mistakes
made in orchard planting is that OF
setting the trees too close together.
Plant cover crop in the orchard
Rye, barley. wheat and oats are
good nonleguminous plants, but the
legumes are better.
The old, neglected orchard with its
dead trees and wormy apples is a blot
on the face of the earth. Trim, spray
cultivate and get big returns.

GOOD THINGS TO REMEMBER
= When Planting Trees Select Best
Suited for Purpose Wanted-Fre-
uuent Pruning Needed.
By r. C. wEATHERsToNE)


Too large a tree should be avoided
Select the tree best suited for your
, purpose, be that shade, ornamental,
fruit, production of lumber, wind
break or fence post.
Bear in mind that the tree you
plant, if of proper species, may be Il
shelter and pride of future genera
tions. or if wrongly selected it may
last but a decade.
The one advantage. that of rapid
growth, should not decide what tree
to plant Innumerable insects, fun
gold diseases and the necessity for
frequent pruning, besides a brief pc
riod of existence, may characterize
the tree of your choice, and il should
be discarded,
Where there is slight opportunity
for frequent watering, tree species
demanding large quantities of water
should be discarded. They VII be dis

Elms, cottonwood and swamp
naples are among the class requtr-
ing much water.
The oak, ash, sugar maple, Norway

Good roots in ample quantity are OF
vital importance to the trees success.

labor, but secure all the roots possible
without mutilation.
The top of a tree should not be
mutilated. Cutting off the leading
shoots is extremely bad practice, only
