MAKlNG THE LITTLE
FARM PAY
BY c. c. BOWSFIELD

used with an assurance of good re
suits. Late varieties are recommend
ed for localities where frost is likely
to appear after the 18th of April.
Freezing weather after fruit trees
have blossomed is pretty sure to kill
the entire crop. The late varieties of
apples and cherries are more apt to
escape frost in the budding period
than the early kinds. Experience in
the last ten years shows that the dan
ger is nearly all in the spring.
Artificial heating of an orchard is
possible if a sudden cold snap comes
at critical time. Heaters for this
purpose can be bought, or smudge
fires can be kept going for a day or
two until the danger is over. l have
raised the temperature of an orchard
10 degrees by slow fires and saved a
cherry crop.
There are good reasons for recon-
mending the gradual development of
an orchard 1t is well to test soil.
methods of handling and quality of
young trees. | prefer level land, so
that ice and icy water may be held
around the roots of matured trees in
the spring This holds back the bud
ding until danger from frost is over.
Young trees ought to be protected
from this ice and chilly water by a
thick coat of manure. Roots obtain a
better hold and trees are stronger on
level land than on a slope. l would
not place the orchard in n low place,
however A good depth of loan is de-
sirable, and it may be sandy, but not
gravelly.
With all these things to study and
in view of the fact that there is no
income for few years, l would say
it was unwise to make the entire in
vestment for an orchard and do all the
work in one season. There are many
features that yield a profit the first
year. and these need attention from
the first, although they do not pay bet
ter than fruit in the long run.

? SHOULD like to make it clear to
farmers in general, but more par
ticularly to owners of small tracts

r SHOULD like to make it clear to
farmers in general, but more par
~ ticularly to owners of small tracts
of land, that the fruit interest is
shamefully neglected in number of
states. 1t seems like throwing away
er or more profitable than fruit raising.
1t is a feature that belongs especially
to the little farm, but l wish to ask
some Of the grain growers of the coun-
try If they have ever compared the
acreage value of corn or wheat with
that of apples.
If they have not taken the trouble to
do so it would be we'll to give the sub
ject little attention. Fruit cannot
take the place Of grain. but it can add a
great deal to the farmers income with
out interfering with his general work.
On tract Of twenty to forty acres
there ought to be five acres of large
fruit Apples pay best of all. The
crop is quite reliable, and prices almost
invariably are sufficient to return a
satisfactory profit. With quotations as
they have been for several years the
orchardist can stand partial failure
now and again.
Two men will do the necessary prun-
ing in a five acre orchard in one week
every fall and the spraying in one week
in the spring. The picking is usually
done by the buyers. They know how
to classify and pack better than the
farmer does. Before severe frosts set
in the owner should give n couple of
days to mulching the orchard. This
amount of work is trihing compared
to that required in raising a crop Of
grain. In an average season five acres
of fruit will return a profit Of from
$1,000 to $1,000.
In northern ATTITUDES spring planting
of trees is best. Any one who is lack
ing in experience should not plant
more than an acre, or about 100 trees,
in a season. Two-year-old trees can be

Gas forms in your stomach because
food you eat ferments and turns sour.
Allow this fermentation to 20 on and
these gases become poisonous and the
poison gets into the blood.
MI-O-NA Stomach Tablets stop the
fermentation almost instantly, turn the
poisonous gases into liquid, and elimi-

WHY FIELDS WASH.

Because of the lack of humus
fields wash. and the running off
of the water carries off the top

in which fields are worn out not
