all cases the planter must he the Judge
of the special drainage requirements of
his soil and loca ton.
The soil constituting the proposed
orchard site should be carefully stud
led. and If found to be lacking in the
essential elements of fertility neces-
sary to maintain a fairly vigorous
wood growth fertilizers should be add
ed before blowing that they may be-
come thoroughly Incorporated with the
soil In preparing the land for planting.
We'll Rottsd Manure.
Scientists and practical orchardists
are generally agreed on the great val
ue Of we'll rotted barnyard manure for
an apple orchard. 1t supplies not only
humus. but It contains large per cent
Of other necessary nutritive elements
for maintaining health. vigor and fruit
fitness of tree and for the develop
ment Of the proper qualities for 6ne
fruit product But as the stock Of this
sort Of manure In not always sufficient
for the general demand other agents
have to be resorted to. and next In
value and In concentrated form are
unleached wood ashes. which will sup
ply to a great extent the elements
necessary to plant growth. 1t Is MAIN
tained BY some authorities that one
ton Of unleached wood ashes contains
as much plant nutriment as i've tons Of
ordinary barnyard manure; therefore.
whenever obtainahle. ashes should be
used in preference to any other fer.
dlizer.
Manufactured Fertilizers.
There are many kinds Of manufac-
tured fertilizers. some of which are
valuable only for special soils or spe-
cial crops. It is difficult to determine
what fertilizer It Is best to use without
knowing what elements are lacking in
the SOIL The three elements most com.
monty needed by soils are nitrogen. pot
ash and phosphoric acid. and chemical
fertilizers that contain the largest per.
centages of these substances in avail
able form will be the most valuable.
A fertilizer containing ~ to per
cent Of nitrogen. to 8 per cent of
available phosphoric acid and 10 to IL
per cent Of potash will give excellent
results when applied to orchard land
In quantity ranging from 4UO to 100
pounds per acre.
Western prairie lands are generally
sufficiently fertile for an orchard
growth and need no enriching until
the trees begin to show signs Of weak
ness in vigcr from crop bearing. and
even then they may he invigorated by
the use of crops of red or crimson
clover grown among the trees. allow
ing the crop to fall and decay upon the
ground each year. BY this treatment
a large amount of decaying vegetable
matter rich in plant food will accumu-
late upon the land. forming moist

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
The Summer Cold.

1t is we'll to remember that
fresh cold in the head may some
times be broken up Immediately
IL treated early by snuffing warm
salt water up the nose from the
palm of the hand. This is a sim
pie procedure, which can be per-
formed anywhere by any one
of ordinary intelligence, with
out apparatus. A teaspoonful Of
salt to the pint is about the right
proportion.
In blowing the nose to dis
lodge the water be careful not
TO blow so violently as to drive
the water into the eustachian
tubes. as the result may be deaf
ness. 1t is a good idea not to
use n handkerchief for fifteen
minutes after this simple opera
ton. About pint of water
should be used, drawing it
through the nasal cavities into
the throat, whence 1t can be
elected from the mouth. If one
application does not relieve the
congestion and irritation. repeat
it in a few hours and take a hot
footbath on retiring.

New York baseball scribes say Lar
~ Doyle. the Giants second baseman.
is the most valuable infielder in the
National league. They claim that
when Larry is absent from the team
for any length Of time the infield goes
to pieces. Doyle's value to the team
outside Of playing ability lies in the
fact that he is a splendid coach. The
New York pencil pushers say his ad-
vice to his side partners has helped
improve their work in the defensive
line. Critics Of outside cities do not
agree with the New Workers. They
declare Doyle is an erratic player. One
day he puts up sensational game and
the next goes all to pieces. When CO.
ing good he is a heavy batter. a speedy
base runner, an accurate thrower and
good fielder. He covers as much
ground as any other man in the posi-
ton in the National league. But when
he has an of day he shows up like an
amateur.

Ray Schalk Is not the only new

young catcher making good in the
