HoED CROPS IN THE ORCHARD
Practice Results In Severe Damage to
Annual PIantings-How to
Reckon the Distance.

One of the most prolific causes OF
loss of nursery stock after trans
planting, or for several years there
after is this common practice Of too
close growing of hoed crops. This
practice, says Rural Life, results in
severe damages to the annual plant
ings. The loss amounts possibly to
10 per cent. The too common prac-
tice is to allow no more space be-
tween the tree row and the inter-crop
rows than between two inter-crop
rows, be the inter-crops cabbage,
beans, potatoes or corn. Such dis
tances vary from 80 inches to 312
feet, according to crop used or
planted.
In the first place. the distance
should be reckoned from the expand
the trunk at base. The outside of top
is a limiting factor, since the allow
ance should be made for leaning Of
the same, or possibly all Of the tree
on the leeward side.
The nearest row to the tree row
should be far enough from the row
to permit the horse in cultivating to
pass freely and without letting har-
ness catch into or come in contact
with branches of tree. 1t will sur
prise those who have never given the
subject much thoughti the difference
that the lean or incline OF q tree
makes, when it deviates from a
plumb or to vertical line. In the
writer's opinion the space between
tree row and the nearest winter-crop
row should not be less than four feet
the year trees are planted, if two
years old, or branched trees are used, 4
and farther each succeeding year.

There Is Money in Butter Making.

tain the best results it is essential
that the animals purchased for the
dairy should be of the strict dairy
type, and be made permanent part
of the farm live stock Those who
purchase cows with the intention of
milking them but a short time and
then selling them off when the price
Of butter-fat drops or when the ami
NAL goes dry naturally look more for
beef producers rather than milk pro-
ducers. 1t is impossible to build up
a good dairy herd by this method.
Dualpurpose animals may be used
in some localities to good advantage,
put to get the best results one of the
special dairy breeds should be used.
This does not mean that only thor
oughbred animals should be used, but
animals that are bred for milk pro-
duction- A good dairy COW should
produce enough butter-fat in her best
days that the value of the beef may
be of secondary Importance, if not
entirely ignored.
A person purchasing an implement
considers first how much service he
can get out of it and not its value
as scrap iron when worn out Those
who purchase dairy COW should con-
slider how much butter-fat she will
produce and not the value of her hide
and carcass.

1t is not difficult to find men, even
in the most prosperous dairy COM
munities, who do not believe that
dairying pays. They have tried it and
failed. Some have purchased good

economy in housing or feeding pre-
vented them from getting the results
they expected, but by far the largest

For several years l have raised cab
bages and found it advantageous,
after setting out the plant, to drop
little salt on the heart of the cab
bage, says writer in the Fruit Grow

rain, or some other agent, it should be
renewed, and the process continued
until all danger from cabbage worms
is past.

OF brutality and inhuman treatment

period they were forced to work
many hours overtime, forced to
work while sick and not allowed suf-
ticient rest.
Irving Coppridge, 1S-year- mess

Tilton beat him, dragged him about
by the scruff Of his neck and kicked
him.

did not do the work of four men he
was put in irons for six hours. his
hands being tied so tightly that he
could not use them for two days.

is due, in part at least, to an actual

Still another evidence Of the demand
