CULTIVATION OF AN ORCHARD
During Dry Seasons Stirring of Soil
Enables Roots to Go Deeper After
Needed Moisture.

Roots of fruit trees go down deep
into the soil, and for this reason many
farmers who have orchards think there
is no need to cultivate them. This is
a mistake, as great benefit can be de-
rived from cultivation. This is espe-
cially true during dry seasons, as the
stirring of the soil causes the roots to
grow deeper into the ground and en-
ables them to get the necessary mois-
ture. Disease spores on fallen leaves
and fruit can be destroyed by turning
under the sod. Very often insect pests
breed under the trees and by stirring
up the soil these places are destroyed
In the spring as soon as the ground
is in fit condition is the best time to
commence cultivating. This cultiva
ton should continue while the tree is
making its seasons growth. After
the last blowing it is a good plan to
SOW some crop which can be turned
under as a fertilizer the following
spring
If frequent cultivation should tend
to make the trees grow too rapidly and
not to fruit well, then let the orchard
go back into sod for while.
1t is very necessary to cultivate the
new orchard-the trees will grow fast
er, the roots go deeper and many of
the insect pests and diseases will be
more easily controlled.

but science. Simple it is true, but all
the same science
People who are troubled with their
cream and butter are generally those
who have made no study of the prin-
ciples that absolutely govern the sour
ing Of cream and the process of butter
making.
There is no excuse for any farmers
wife being ignorant of the methods of
good butter making in these days of
scientific teachers in the experiment
stations in every state in the Union.
Remember the cow has hard time
keeping up her usual milk flow and
lighting flies, to say nothing of the
effect the terrific heat has upon her.
Green fodder is relished by the cows
at the tail end of the summer, as ice
cream is relished by children.
Do not keep COW simply because
she gives a large quantity of milk.
Know by the use OF the babcock test
and scales whether she is putting
profit into the milk pail.
There is no money in the dairy bust
ness as long as you keep feeding cows
which produce at loss.

FARMERS BECOMING WIDE AWAKE
TO POSSIBILITIES OF new CROPS
Carefully Studying Means of Improving the Old Good
Time To Select Field For Alfalfa - Requires
Good Supply of Limestone

removed early for hay and the soil
quickly prepared for seeding. There
are instances where tobacco is re-
moved in August, in which case the
ground can be quickly prepared and
successful seeding of alfalfa may re-
suit Corn ground is not suitable.
The heavy moisture and plant food re-
quirements of the corn crop leave the
ground in poor condition for alfalfa
even if the cord were removed in time
for seeding.
To be suitable for alfalfa the soil
must be we'll drained. There are
many instances where second bottom
land is better for this crop than up
land. Bottom land soils are apt to be
open and consequently we'll drained
and areated In addition these soils
are usually fertile. While alfalfa will
enrich the soil, yet it requires fertile
soil to begin with in order to grow
successfully. Like corn, wheat, or to-
bacco, alfalfa may make some growth
upon thin land. but to make sue
cessful crop for several years alfalfa
requires rich SOIL Alfalfa requires q
good supply of limestone. If this is
not present in the soil, lime in some
form should be applied. AS with red
clover, weeds are a great menace to
alfalfa when the plants are young and
are just becoming established in the
soil. For this reason spring sown al
falfa in Kentucky is apt to suffer a
great deal from the ravages of crab
grass in July. 1t is better to make a
thorough preparation of the seed bed
for some weeks before sowing and to
SOW about the middle of August.
About twenty pounds of seed per acre
should be sown.
In most instances it is necessary to
inoculate to be most successful with
alfalfa. This is very simple matter.
Bacterial cultures may be secured
from the State Experiment Station,
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
or from commercial firms. A salts
factory incubation may be effected by
spreading from two to three hundred
pounds of surface soil from a healthy
field of alfalfa or sweet clover.
1t takes some earnest effort to grow
alfalfa successfully, but a good field
should yield from three to five tons
per acre for period Of from six to
eight years.
Write to the Experiment Station for

roofing to help the heavy plants with
stand the hard winds the following
years.
Cultivate and hoe often enough to
keep the field free from weeds. The
more often the soil Is stirred the
greater will be the yield. In a dry
season frequent cultivation draws the
moisture to the surface and helps to
tide the plants over until the rain
comes. Sod will soon run out" berry

clean.
II no young plants are wanted for

than it is to lump them off for so
much head, which is tedious task
to both the buyer and the seller.
AS a general thing, cabbages are not
all of one size or weight; very large
heads are often very tight, and unless
the buyer is an expert in the business
he is frequently deceived by the ap-
pearance of the lot. The whole sys-
tenn of selling vegetables by measure
instead of by weight, constitutes a
cheating game and places honesty at
a discount.
When beets, carrots and parsnips
are sold by small measure, it is i'm
possible to get down to accuracy and
the exact amount paid for. BY their
peculiar shape, these vegetables form
temptation for dealers to cheat the
customers.

one to three pecks and as there Is no
inducement to pack in large barrels,
small ones are used and sell for the

1t is just as easy to sell vegetables
by the pound as 1t is to sell grain or
sugar and other commodities, and
there is no reason why the dealer
should not sell on the same basis OF
measure as he buys.
We have seen growers sell potatoes
on the city markets when every bushel

fact that these measures were further

There has always been a strong be-
lief among farmers in general that
soil fertility can not be maintained I'M
less stock raising is part of the farm
practice. They have recognized the
necessity for returning to the land at
least part of what has been produced
from it, and the only practical way to
do this has seemed to be by the use
of animal manures.
While we continue to recognize the
great value of manure, We now know
that fertility can be maintained just
as easily without its use as with it,
and that exclusive grain farming is
entirely practical where the topogra-
ply of the land does not compel most
of it to be kept in pasture to prevent
erotion. Where this is the case, stock
farming is necessity and no other
system should be attempted.
Grain farming is different from stock
farming chiefly in the manner in
which the supply Of organic matter
and nitrogen is maintained.
When a mineral element, such as
phosphorus or calcium is deficient,
both the stock farmer and the grain
farmer must make up the deficiency
by using commercial plant food, for
the supply of mineral plant food where
limited can not be maintained by ma
nure alone. In both systems of farm
ing rotations must be practiced and
clover or other legumes must be in
cluded in the rotation, if the nitrogen
supply is maintained. The stock
farmer feeds his clover and part of the
other crops and the manure supplies
the required nitrogen and humus. The

tiful supply Of limestone. Alfalfa is
not so easily grown as cowpeas, soy
beans or sweet clover, but can be sue
cessfully produced in Kentucky when
the requirements of the crop have
been met.
The United States census reports of
1909 show that in that year 20,229
acres of alfalfa were grown in Ken
lucky on 1876 farms. There is good
reason to believe that the number of
farms growing alfalfa and the total
acreage have doubled since that time.
This is good time to select field
for alfalfa The stubble ground from
grain can be prepared for this crop.
Potato ground after the first crop has
been removed is good place for al
falfa. When cowpeas or soy beans
were sown early these crops may be

grain farmer depends upon crop resi-
dues such as straw, cornstalks, etc.
and green manures to maintain his hui
mus and nitrogen supply. His chief
difficulty is in the disposition of the
leguminous crop. Part of this must
be returned to the soil, for rotations
including legumes will not maintain
the nitrogen supply if the entire crop
is sold off. The grain farmer must
usually handle his legume crop as
seed supply, and return the straw to
the land. In the case of clover the
first crop should be cut and allowed to
remain on the land. The second crop
can be cut for seed. The straw OF
beans and peas should always be re-
turned to the soil.
Another important point for the
grain farmer is growing as many
catch-crops to plow under as possible
These should be leguminous crops
when practical. The following rota.
ton will illustrate more clearly the
general plan that it is necessary to
follow. First year wheat with clover
sown in wheat. Second year corn
with cowpeas sown between the rows
at last cultivation. Third year, oats

kind should be planted. Vetch or
crimson clover are both useful for this
purpose. Fourth year, clover grown
