prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The growing Of some annual crop
between the trees during the first two
or three seasons following the plant
ing Of an orchard, as an aid in meet
ing the cost of maintenance during
the unproductive age Of the trees, is
frequently regarded by the grower as
an economic measure. This practice
Is seldom, IL ever, any advantage to
the trees In comparison with thorough
tillage by itself, but II interplanted
crops are wisely selected and proper
ly managed with respect to their re-
lation to the trees, they are not like
ly to result in any serious harm.
A considerable range OF choice may
be exercised by the grower as to what
crops may be used. The relative mar
ket value OF different crops should, OF
course, govern the selection to some
extent. 1t should always be seen, how
ever, that whatever Is chosen must
not interfere with any OF the opera
lions required In the development of
the trees.
Muskmelons, beans, peas, cabbages,
tomatoes and other truck crops are ex-
tensively grown in this way in differ
ent sections. Potatoes are sometimes
used, but they are suitable only when
the crop can be so managed that the
digging Of the potatoes will not
amount to a late cultivation. which
may be attended with undesirable re-
suits. Corn, also. is frequently used,
but as very often managed II is OBJ
Jectionable, because 1t shades the
trees excessively. Whenever corn is in
terplanted, an open strip of consid-
cradle width should be left along the
rows, so that the trees will be fully
exposed to the sunlight throughout the
season. II a very tall. strong-growing
variety of corn is used, a wider strip
should be left implanted than where
dwarf variety is selected.
The interplanted crop ought to be
one which needs essentially the same
tillage that the peach trees should
have. Where this is the case. the Sec
ondary crop does not seriously inter-

SAYS FARM BOYS PLAY MORE
BASEBALL THAN CITY BOYS

In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside, Hugh :. Fullerton writes
an interesting baseball article. In
the course Of his article he COM
mcnts on the popularity Of baseball
among country boys:
II have statistics showing that q
larger percentage Of country boys
play the game than Of city boys. and,
To my astonishment, ! have learned
that, as a rule, they are better post
ed on major-league baseball than
the average city boy is. In the cit
les the number Of boys wo know
nothing ~ the game, care nothing
for il, and never attend games is
surprisingly large"

leaves debilitates a tree. IL done early
In the summer the injury is less than
after the summer growth is nearly
completed.
The removal of dead branches can
not affect the vitality OF the tree, no
matter when done. Nor can there be
any serious effect II here and there

cross. are removed. The thinning out
OF small. twiggy branches for the pur-
pose Of thinning the fruit is not a
harmful process in early summer The
drain on the tree is less than It would
be to bear an abnormally heavy crop
of fruit. There are a great many trees
which might be relieved of a surplus
OF fruit during May and early June to
good advantage.

fere with that operation. But the
grower should realize that he is,
in effect. following a system of double
cropping and that because OF the in
terplanted crop he may need to give
more attention to the maintenance Of
the fertility of the soil than he would
for the peaches alone.
After the trees reach bearing age,
they should not be made to COM
pete with another crop Even IL there
is sufficient plant food In the soil
to produce successfully two crops at
the same time. the peach trees will
usually need all of the available soil
moisture, except, of course, in sec
tons where irrigation is practiced,
and there is an adequate supply Of wa
ter for all purposes. Besides, an
interplanted crop would be likely to
interfere with the spraying OF the
trees. II that operation should be nec-
essary, with the harvesting of the
fruit and in other ways.
Peach Trees Planted With Apples.
Peach trees are sometimes used
as an interplanted crop, especially
where apples comprise the permanent
crop. This practice is both highly
recommended and emphatically con-
demned by fruit growers of wide ex-
perience. 1t is probably Objectionable
In that for a period of years both
bearing and nonbearing trees occupy
the same area, and II is sometimes de-
sirable to treat fruiting tree very
Inherently from one that is not fruit
Ing, for the best results with each.
On the other hand, when a site Is
particularly favorable for both fruits,
a compromise treatment can often be
effected, which yields fairly satisfac-
tory results with both kinds of trees.

agriculture, Washington, d. c., win

charge. its Farmers Bulletin (No.

gives in detail much information on

RIGHT SITES FOR ORCHARDS
welI-known Fact That Cold Air Set
ties to Lower Levels 10 Often
Overlooked-loss by Frost.

It is a well-recognized fact, though
one too often overlooked In selecting
sites for orchards. that cold air set
ties to the lower levels. For this rea-
son II is often colder at the lower ele-
vations than It is at higher points in
the same locality. This is what is
meant by atmospheric drainage"
The occurrence of frost in low
places when there Is none on ele-
waited areas Is thus explained.
For the same reason peach buds
are often winterkilled or the blossoms
are injured by frost in the spring In
low places when nearby orchards on
higher elevations are injured much
less. or even escape entirely.

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR sC0URS
Good Dose OF Castor OIL viii Relieve
Young Pias-causs Of Trouble
10 Indigestion.

The cause Of scours is indigestion,
which often is caused by the young
pigs eating some of the food fed to
the mother or picked up from another
source. This undisested food causes
fermentation and the formation of
foul gases and the irritation OF stom-
ach and bowels.
A good remedy is to give each pig
a dessertspoonful OF castor oil. which
will clean out the stomach and bow
els, and II the scours continue after
the oil has operated. give each one
five drops each OF tincture OF opium
and spirits Of camphor. and ten drops
tincture OF catechu at a dose in
tablespoonful OF water. Repeat every
three hours until scours stop.

POLITICAL G0SSIPS

When one class Of people has any
thing to say. 1t has become largely
the custom to make a political issue
out Of It instead Of q friendly discus
sion. to print II In law book instead
OF newspaper and to argue 1t be-
fore a Jury instead Of to settle 1t in
the higher courts of Common Sense.
As a result, political agitators, polit-
ical lawyers, political preachers and
masculine women are powerful In
politics and dissension, selfishness, in
tolerance and Mysteries run rampant
In public affairs, for when the low,
damp, murky atmosphere OF misun-
derstanding envelopes public thought
II breeds political reptiles, vermin,
D gs and lice which the pure air Of
truth and the sunshine of understand
ing will choke to death.
We have too many self-appointed
interpreters Of industry who are in
capable Of grasping the fundamental
principles of business and who at best
can only translate gossip and add
color to sensational stories. No bust
ness can stand upon error and might
rules-right or wrong. No industry
can thrive upon misunderstanding.
for public opinion is more powerful
than a Kings sword.
When prejudice. suspicion and
class hatred prevail. power gravitates
into the hands of the weak, for dema-
gogues thrive upon dissension and
statesmen sicken upon strife.
The remedy lies in eliminating the
middleman-the political gossip-and
this result can be accomplished by
the managers OF business sitting
around the table OF industry and talk
ing II over with the people. Inter
change OF information between indus
tries and the people is as necessary
to success In business as Interchange
In commodities. for the people can
only rule when the public under
stands. Away with political interpret
ers who summon evil spirits from
their prison cells and loose them to
prey upon the welfare of the people

GREEN PaSTJRAGE FOR HOGS
Common and Practical Experience In
dlcates yeyond Doubt That Pas
turing Brings Best Results.

The hog is naturally a grazing ami.
NAL, but his digestive organs we're not
intended to handle dry fodder. As a
matter Of fact hog will eat but little
dry hay unless driven to 1t by hunger,
whereas he eats green pasturage raw
enously.
The green alfalfa digests much more
readily than the dry hay without q
doubt and likewise, on account of its
succulence, has a more beneficial ef-
feet upon the hogs system.
Common and practical experience
Indicates beyond all doubt that pas
turing brings better results. How
ever, where alfalfa or other pasturage
is not available. good results often OBJ
tain by allowing hogs. and especially
brood sows. to eat as much as they
will Of good legume hay.

ALFALFA AND SIL0S

SiIos. well filed with corn, should
be on every farm. and the main
stay for feed during the winter.
Good rs silage is. Il is not perfect
feed: the fact is, there is no one
perfect feed. II needs something tn
balance IL in order TO make a per-
feet ration. Concentrates, purchas-
ed. will balance silage, but we are
more interested in growing a COM
plement TO silage than in buying 1t.
IL is the economic question that
confronts all cattle feeders.
We believe alfalfa comes nearest
Ia balancing silage than any other
crop grown on the farm. When we
realize that alfalfa contains the
same content Of protein that wheat
bran does. and will grow greater
crops than any other legume, then
il behoOves our feeders, those who
are not growing this greatest OF
clovers, TO study up on alfalfa and
put in some OF this good hay and
soil builder. Put in a few acres
this year and then many acres an
other year.
To illustrate what we wish To say,
we will give the experience OF one
dairyman in this county. He for
merry fed silage balanced with con-
centrates. After growing alfalfa he
cut out the concentrates entirely,
feeding a good ration of alfalfa hay,
and his cows kept up their flow of
milk without any loss in quantity
or quality. This shows that alfalfa
is a good balance for milk COWS,
then why not for fattening cattle,
supplemented, possibly, with some
corn?
Some OF the most successful feed
ers Of lambs in the Central West
are the Wing Bros, Mechanicsburg,
o., and their principal feed is silage
and alfalfa. They fed one TO two
thousand head every winter and
have done so for a number Of years
and keep about half their 2O0-acre
farm in alfalfa, all OF which is fed
on the place.

ROADS
DIRECTIONS FOR USING DRAG
Have the implement Follow Horses at
Angle Of Forty.Five Degrees, Push

A road-drag is any cheap wooden
contrivance that will move little
earth to the middle OF the road and
leave the surface smooth. Any drag
Is a good drag. but the split-log or
double-slab drag is by far the best.
The directions for use are simple as
the drag itself: Ride on the drag.
drive the team with one horse on each
side OF the righthand wheel track,
with the drag following at an angle
OF about Is degrees, thus pushing the
loose earth toward the center. Drive
toward town to your neighbours front
gate, and turning there, come home
over the other wheel track.
After the next rain perform the
same operation. When this has been
done four or FIVE times the road may
