CULTIVATE YOUR ORCHARDS.

} You should get into the habit
Of cultivating your orchard. 1t
may not be the style in your
neighborhood, but you can feel
that you are introducing new
fashion that is meeting with the
approval of most of the best fruit
growers. Just remember that
trees need feeding also. Nitro
gen fertilizer produces luxuriant
growth; potash, strength of wood
and vigoy, and phosphates assist
In fruiting. If your orchard
grows very rank with soft, brit
tie new wood 1t does not need nj
trogen, but does need potash, and
II 1t refuses to set fruit 1t needs
phosphate. Slow growing, scrag-
gly trees that set an enormous
lot of fruit that grows Ill shaped
and small need a good dressing
Of nitrogen. Barnyard manure
contains some Of all Of these
properties, with nitrogen In ex-
cess Of the others, but 1t is about
the best fertilizer to be used
where the orchard Is normal or
where the lack Of nitrogen Is evil
