WASTE OF VITAL RESOURCES

Effort

Health authorities are emphasizing
more and more that the waste of vital
resources is as irrational as the waste
of natural resources. 1t Is regarded as
manifest destiny that wise economy
of vitality will be practiced to check
the appalling waste now charged to
thoughtlessness and ignorance. Sir
Frederick Treves predicts the time
when hospitals for infectious diseases
will be empty and not wanted. This
is to be accomplished by hygiene.
Organized effort must be supple
mented by the personal sense OF re-
sponsibility that will consider the wis
dom of selfrespecting care of vital re-
sources. The fight is against millions
of microbes, we are told, and the
weapons are sanitary regulations, mu.

PRUNE RASPBERRY CANES

Woody Growth-CIeanins Out
Destroys Many Insects.

Though the two main varieties OF
raspberry, black and red. need slight
ly different treatment, the time and
manner of pruning are greatly similar
with both kinds.
The blackcaps do not put out new
growth from the root stalks, as the
red varieties do, but new plants are
started from tips of the old plants.
These are bent over and covered light
ly in August, after which they send
out rootlets and can be taken up the
following spring as new plants, to be
set out where they are needed
These new plants need to be pinched
back to height of IS inches, so that
they will throw out more lateral
branches. These are the branches
which bear fruit, and it is very impor-
tant that they be numerous.
In addition to this first pruning, the
winter or early spring pruning should
be done to get rid of the old canes

CULTIVATION OF AN ORCHARD
Stirring Of Soil Helps to Conserve
Moisture - Young Trees Given
Longer Period Of Growth.

The apple growers are nearly all
practicing clean cultivation in their
orchards, says writer in Indiana
Farmer This indicates that cultiva-
IN is the quickest method of bring
ing young trees to bearing age ana
perhaps it is the best method to pur-
sue in gaining annual crops. From my
own experience and knowledge gained
from growers in all parts of the coun-
try, / am convinced that apple trees
set on rolling or nearly level land will
come into bearing two or three years
earlier if given annual cultivation.
1t makes very little difference wheth-
er the land be Intercepted or not
provided sufficient fertilizing material
is added to grow the extra plants. The
stirring of the soil seems to help in
conserving the moisture and gives the
young trees longer period of growth
each year than they have under sod
methods. 1t is we'll to remember that
cover crop should be put in late IN
the summer to afford the roots some
protection from the winter cold.
When crops are grown between the
trees, something should be raised
that can be taken off early enough to
allow for this In the northern Sec
tions, rye or winter vetch is perhaps
best. | think it good plan to alter
nate these for cover in the growing
orchard. Farther south there is moth
ing that can compare with crimson
clover for this purpose. An orchard
handled after this method makes
rapid growth up to the bearing age.
have continued it after bearing, with
the result that some of the trees have
formed the habit of annual bearing
TO my mind this is most important
With the older orchards, sod meth
DDS with the grass mulch and annual
top dressing of manure produce excel
lent results. This means considerably
less work My experience indicates
that cultivation is of value where it
can be practiced with convenience.
Where the trees are left in sod. the
grass should be moved and left under
the trees to hold the moisture. One
cannot successfully take crop OF hay

PRUNING NEEDS OF CURRANT
In WelI-Pruned Plantations No Wood

Found-Is Gross Feeder.

In pruning the currant encourage
an upright growth or the brush form
with several stems, rather than a
scraggly habit with but few stems.
Four to eight stems are desirable, de-
pending upon soil and variety, Aim

Gus shoots coming on. In well pruned

dressing and then cover this dressing

Currants and gooseberries are gross
feeders. and If you want to get large

PREPARE HIVE FOR THE BEES
All Preliminary Work Should Be
Done at Leisure Times-Be Care
full Not to Spill Sweets.
(By F. G. HERMANN


The wide-awake farmer does not
wait until his bees have swarmed and
are clustering on tree-top before he
thinks of preparing hive for them.
All preparatory work, such as making
and painting hives, wiring brood
frames and getting the section boxes
ready for the anticipated honey crop
should be done at leisure times during
the dull period on the farm before the
rush of other work takes place.
How easy it will be to manage a
dozen or more colonies of bees this
summer If everything Is set in readi-
ness.
For instance, II swarm issues 1t
will only be the work of few minutes
to take the hive from the barn and
hive the swarm into it. If the honey
flow bursts forth suddenly what salts

you have on hand a few hundred Sec
ton boxes ready to set on the hives
