Before trees come into bearing they

Peaches my be pruned at any time
while dormant, and in large orchards
the work had best be begun In Decem.
Der, in order to be sure of finishing it..
Never neglect peach pruning.
Apples in bearing are best pruned
In late April or early May. about the
time the first leaves are full grown.
This will permit the formation during
the season Of fruit buds for the fol-
lowing year.
The plum is pruned very much like
the peach, but less severely, and the
cherry requires the least pruning of
all fruits. Plum and cherry are best
pruned as the buds swell in early
spring.
Grapes should be pruned as soon az
possible after the leaves fall, and late
pruning is undesirable because the
vines bleed badly after the sap starts.
Contrary to general opinion, vines
very seldom II ever bleed to death.

MANY ADVANTAGES OF
THE MINER SILO
(By @. A. Hutton, Division OF Extern.
sion, University Of Tennesses.I

(By @. A. Hutton, Division OF Extenr
sion, University Of Tennesses.)
A small silo for summer feeding Is
one of the best means of keeping up
the milk flow of the dairy herd. Few
dairymen have sufficient pasture for
their herds during the hot, dry months
of midsummer, and, as a result, the
milk flow usually decreases.
More cows can be fed from the same
acreage by the use of the silo than by
pasturing. There Is no waste from
tramping down of the food, and the
cows are not exposed to the hot sun
and flies. An excellent plan is to have
silo small in diameter so that some
silage can be fed every day during the
summer, If it should be needed. Many
dairymen now have two silos-a large
one for winter and small one for
summer.
The dairy with plenty of good silage
Is very largely independent of weather
conditions. There is seldom season
when he can not grow a fair crop of
silage corn, and there are few sum-
mers when he could not make more
money from his herd If the dry, short
pastures were supplemented with a
ration OF corn silage.
From twenty to thirty pounds of
silage would be fair daily ration for
COW If she has some pasture About
two and one-half to three inches
should be fed off of the surface OF the
silo daily during the hot weather, in
order to keep the silage sweet and
free from mold Allowing an average
ration of twenty-five pounds per day
for the six summer months, a herd OF
twenty cows would require forty.hve
tons of silage, and a silo 1Ox3O feet
will be required. From four to six
feet should be added to the silo to
allow for settling of the silage. For
herd of thirty cows, CT tons would
be needed, and silo 12x30 would be
required

that 1t stores would depreciate II or.
posed. But machines should be
housed at all hazards where they will
be dry, both overhead and underneath.
If there Is dampness under machinery,
1t will collect moisture and the iron
will rust and the wood will rot very
badly. Too often machines have been
driven under a leaky shed, or q large
tree. which is even worse than letting
them stand entirely in the open. More
often, however, they are stored In the
big machine shed, which has the field
fence for walls and the sky for roof.
1t is very expensive shed.
Many machines are ruined by not
being properly oiled and not having
bolts kept tight. These are less con.
spicious mistakes and attract little
attention, but they are expensive ones
nevertheless. Those who are living
on the farm know best how many
trips are made to the distant shop or
store for repairs to meet an emer-
gency. They probably do not realize
the expense OF such trips when the
teams and the men must lie idle, and
the crops damage In the waiting.
Surely If they had made such cal.
culation, the repairs would have been
attended to during the winter before.
when the men were idle. Now Is the
time when all machines should be
brought from the field and note made
Of the repairs needed; or better still.
they should be brought from the field
promptly as soon as used, even II they
are to be used again in few days.
and repairs made at the earliest con-
venient time. Dirt should be removed
from all wearing parts, coating OF
axle grease applied, bolts frightened.
missing or broken parts replaced, and
wood work painted.
The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1915-04-30

One OF the absolute requirements of
0 highly profitable farm is the efficient
use OF farm machinery. The average
GARNER In Tennessee thinks so him
sell, because he is spending large
amounts for equipment.
The strange part of 1t all Ia that he
has realized SO well the value Of ma
chinery, and yet has learned SO little
OF the art Of caring for 1t, both while
In use and while 1t ia idle. He has
learned 80 little of it that the life of
most farm machines Is not more than
half what It should be.
Records show that the initial outlay
must be replaced each ten years, be.
cause that Is the average life Of ma
chimes. This means that onetenth of
the value Of all machines is spent
each year to buy new ones. Records
further show that In special cases, the
same machines have done the same
work and lasted twice as long. A
eSSe SAhoOA ouSht w last tW0uty year .
with a crop Of fifty to a hundred
acres; q farm wagon should last fifty
years, a hay rake or grain drill, TWEEN
ty-fve years; disc harrow. fifteen
years. But the fact remains that only
a few Of them reach this age. Why?
Because they are not properly housed,
repaired and painted.
This Is the season Of the year to do
these three things. More machines
rust out than wear out. The former
loss Is preventable one to a large
extent It requires moisture to make
rust. II there is not enough covered
space on the farm to take care of the
implements during the winter, shed
should be built, but not a cheap one.
1t Is possible to build shed that will
depreciate as much as the machinery
