PEACH ORCHARDS.
Some important Facts Set Forth In
 Government Bulletin.

Peach growers as well as those who contemplate planting a peach orchard will be interested in farmers bulletin 631, bearing the title, Growing Peach es" which has just been issued by the department of agriculture at Wash igton. This bulletin says 1t is a we'll recognized fact. though one too often overlooked, in selecting sites for or chards that cold air settles to the lower levels. For this reason 1t Is often colder at the lower elevation than it is at higher points in the same locality. This is what is. meant by atmospheric drainage" The occur renee of frost in low places when there is none on elevated areas is thus ex- plained. For the same reason peach buds are often winter killed or the blossoms are injured by frost in the spring in low places, when nearby orchards on higher elevations are in- jured much less or even escape en- tirely.
 Where an orchard occupies a site that is adjacent to a large body of water, the importance of a relatively high elevation largely disappears. To be a factor in the matter, however, a. body of water must be of sufficient size and depth to have an appreciable influence on the local climate. Be- cause the water warns up in spring more slowly than the atmosphere, it acts in effect as refrigerator. making
 
 cinity colder than 1t is at points some what distant from 1t. For this sea- son, vegetation within the zone of this influences advances more slowly in the spring than it does outside of that zone. The tendency is for the blos- soming of peach trees situated within the zone to be delayed until after the season of spring frosts is past.
 In the fall frosts are delayed in @ similar manner, except that the large body of water, having absorbed much heat during the summer, cools off in the fall more slowly than the atmos- phere and hence 1t tends to keep the temperature within its zone of infiu- ence warmer than it would otherwise be. It is because of these reasons that peaches are, grown with marked suc- cess and injury to the crops by ad- verse temperature conditions is conn paratively infrequent in the portions of New York and the province of On- tar1o that border Lake Ontario; in Ohio along Lake Erie; in southwestern Michigan on Lake Michigan, and in some other districts which are ad- Jacent to large bodies of water. As 8 rule, the zone of influence of bodies of water, such as those named. is rather narrow, usually not extending back from the shore more than few miles. The slope or exposure of a site is the point of the commas toward which

September being the most popular periods, but the introduction of low freezing explosives now make it pos sible to blast stumps in March and in early winter.
 In any weather in which it is feas- ible to bore the holes under the stumps these modern explosives work well without thaWing. This point is of particular importance right now be- cause there never has been a time when land clearing was more desirable than at present.
 There will be more reasons for high priced wheat, corn and other food products in the fall of 1915 and 1916 than exist at present.
 By clearing cut-over land in March it is possible to seed it this coming spring and get a big crop off this vir- gin soil during 1915, and the low freezing explosives make March blast ing feasible.

The above perspective illustrates in some slight degree an unusual type of cottage that possesses features quite out of the ordinary for houses of small size. A porte cochere graces one end of the house where direct access to the hall is secured, while the main en- trance is gained through 8 recessed doorway at the front of the cottage.
 This unique treatment places the stairways at one side of the house, and gives full privacy to the entire front for living room uses. The exterior de- bends more largely for it's attractive ness upon excellent proportions and simple treatment than upon mere or 1lamenta ion.

OATS.
Experience Shows They Are Not .
 Profitable Cash Crop.

The following figures were taken from an account book which had been kept for several years by a dairy far mer. It shows plainly what profit can be expected from the use of the oat crop as a cash crop. Since this crop is used more as a nurse crop and necessity of growing 1t as such the cost of growing should be charged partially to the crop with which it Is grown However when grown as a grain the net returns are not large enough for it to be considered as a good cash crop. The figures do not include interest, taxes, insurance, or depreciation in land, machinery or any of the investment. Thus in addition to the cost these charges must be added before real profit can be deter mined:

KEEPING HORSES.

Care should be taken not to keep more horses than is absolutely neces- sary. Frequently it may be more eco- nomical to hire a team to do work than to keep it a larger part of the year for a small amount of extra work. These same records show that it cost to keep these animals at the rate of $93.06 a year for feed, horse shoeing etc, in addition to the cost of labor. The result of surveys of 2S farms with S4 horses in one of the western states, according to the gov ernment weekly news letter, shows that on these farms the amount of work performed in hours was:
 Crop work ......... 4462 Miscellaneous work ........... 348S
