Will it damage trees in an orchard

The orchard, if a young one not IN
bearing, should be we'll ultivated in
some early crop till July and then you
can SOW peas In it and turn hogs in
without damage. A bearing apple
orchard should be in grass and the

hogs with their noses ringed to pre-
vent roofing will eat up the dropping

it is dried. If placed in a stack or
NOV about one peck of salt should
be applied to each load as it Is stored
What is your opinion of this process? ?"
Curing in cocks is all right, for a great
deal Of hay is ruined by letting it lie
in the sun. But Sailing hay is all
wrong and interferes with the proper
curing. If hay Is stored in the right
state. it will cure perfectly and will
be better without salt than with it.
81 sowed Virginia Gray oats last
fall and they promised a good yield,
but as <hey head I find that they are
over half cheat. What is the cause
of this?" Simply that you sowed
cheat seed with the oats. and the
winter killed most Of the oats and
the hard cheat remained. The cheat
seed looks exactly like q small oat
and unless the seed are examined with
care, you will SOW them with the oats
when they should be blown out with
a good tanning mill. Get clean seed
from q scotsman who re-cleans the
seed carefully and you will not have
any cheat. for you can never get cheat
unless there Is cheat in the soil, for it
never grows from anything but It's
own seed: You can row wheat by
planting corn just as easy as you can
grow cheat by sowing clean oats
whatever a man soweth that also
he shall reap"

Work in the Truck Patch.

Sweet potato plants can still be set.
A fertilizer strong in phosphoric acid
and potash Is needed. and a light per-
centage of nitrogen. Sweet potatoes
are the one crop for which I would
always plow shallow. for with deep
blowing and high ridging they are
apt to grow long and stringy, and we
want them short and chunky, Three
hundred pounds Of acid phosphate. 30
pounds Of nitrate Of soda and 80
pounds Of sulphate Of patash an acre
will make good sweet potatoes. Then
to make keeping potatoes and bed
ding roots plant cuttings Of the vines
in July.

The early Irish potato crop is now
almost entirely planted with the Irish
Cobbler. This potato does not make
as good a second crop as the old
Early Rose and the Bliss. For seed
it is better to get the potatoes that
have been kept in cold storage and
plant these as we will describe in
July.
Where there is an effort made to
grow a second crop from the early
seed Of the Irish potato. the best
method I have used is to cut the
potatoes in halves and spread them
out on the ground and cover thickly
with pine straw. Then watch them
and when they show signs OF sprout-
ing be ready for them and plant as
We will direct hereafter.
AS the cantaloupes and water
melons start to run a tablespoonful
Of nitrate Of soda scattered around
grow cantaloupes in rows five feet
apart and thin out to two plants
twenty inches apart. Watermelons
are planted in hills 10 feet. Gu
cumbers we plant in same way as
cantalOupes.

their best growth in the fall and

may run to seed.

After the oats are harvested get the
land broken as soon as practicable
for the legume hay crop, and the best
crop you can SOW. will be equal parts
Of peas and Mammoth Yellow SOY
beans. Get the land in good order
and drill the mixture IN with a wheat
drill set to SOW two bushels of whea
an acre. and you will n tina the
crop is far better than where it is
merely narrowed in. Putting the seed
in at a uniform depth, they start to-
gether and make a far better crop.
Where the object IS to make seed
| either Of the soy beans or the peas
they should be planted in rows three
feet apart and cultivated. Then II
let stand till ripe they can be easily
harvested with the pea harvester that
has been advertised in The Progress

always be cut for hay as soon as the
