SELECTING WOOD LOT TREES
Straight, Quick-Growina, ciear-BoIed
Trees Should Be Kept to Grow
to Large Size.

The trees selected for fuel should
be those which the wood lot can do
without easily The removal of the
best trees year after year will in the
end leave the wood lot with only
poor trees.
The straight, quick-growing, long,
clear-boled trees should be kept to
grow to large size, and the crooked,
broken. dead-topped. suppressed and
diseased individuals, which will not be
missed, should be removed.
It is common to see in wood lots old
trees of poor form occupying space a
half-dozen thrifty trees should occupy,
because no one had the courage to re-
move them. Such trees should be the
first to be cut.

themselves. have seen hundreds of
acres of pasture land reclaimed in this
way and with profit to the farmer.
Another method of Improvement
which could be practiced much more
than it is, would be to NOW the pas
ture-frst to cut down the weeds be-
fore they go to seed, and, secondly, to
get rid of the overripe and undesirable
pasture grass.
Often the weeds can be controlled in
this way, except those that reproduce
by means of underground stems. In
this case continuous grubbing is the
only sure method of complete eradica-
ton.
Moving down the ripe or dry grass
not only rids the pasture of food that
the cattle will not eat in most cases,
but invigorates new growth of green
leaves at time when otherwise there
would be but little good grass obtain
able. More general moving of our
pasture lands where moving is need
ed would result in more available pas
ture during harvest time or shortly
after when there is often lack of
green grazing.

PROVIDING PLACE FOR MICE
Mulch Furnishes Splendid Nest for
Rodents Which Are Sure to In
lure Young Trees.

One of the indispensable things in
transplanting is mulching, always to
Be done in spring. Straw of any kind
placed on the surface Of the ground
eight or ten inches thick and extend
ing three or four feet on each side
of the tree will retain the moisture
and help it to grow save it's life even,
in very dry summer. But in the
winter the mulch furnishes a good
abiding place for ground mice which
are sure to injure the young trees, or
kill them, by gnawing the bark. In
fall or early winter this must be
looked after and the mulch removed
a foot or more from the stem OF the
tree. A few shovelfuls of earth
nothing but earth, no grass or weeds
with it-placed around the tree will
be a perfect protection. as the little
animals do not work in fresh soil.
This is important. Every spring we
hear of trees being destroyed by being
girdled by mice. In spring it will be
advantageous to level the soil and APP
ply the mulch again.

HOW TO PRUNE APPLE TREES
Avoid Common Practice of Cutting
Away All Branches That Are Eas-
lily Reached From Ground.

In pruning apple trees, avoid the
common practice Of removing all the
branches easily reached from. the
ground and leaving all the top
branches. It is better to begin at the
top and thin out the branches which
shade the center of the tree too much.
If the tops are, too high, lower them
moderately and gradually, but do not
disturb the balance between top and
roots. If there is a large root sys-
tenn it can take care of big top. If
much Of this top is suddenly removed
the roots will send up so. much more
material than the remaining top can
use that there will be heavy growth
of water sprouts.
Do not try to do too much at one
time--it is even better to distribute
the work over two years and some
times even three years. Always cut
the branches close to the trunk or
main branch. Never leave a stub to
carry decay to the tree. Paint all cut
surfaces with white lead and raw oil.

Give the SOW as little attention as
possible while she is narrowing, unless
she must have assistance. In severe
weather place the pigs as fast as they
come in a basket in which blanket
is laid over warm stone. Keep them
well covered, and after all are born
and have become warm and dry take
them to their mother and place each

THE PEONY AND ITS CULTURE
BY C. BESTCHER.

Few people know the wealth Of
beauty and perfume of the peony.
Quite everyone knows the brilliant
old red peony or "piny" of the old
time garden. But from that to the
modern peony is a great evolution.
The modern peony is superior in size,
perfume and finish to the chrysanthe-
mum, with less car and more certain
results for labor expended.
The requirements of the peony are
simple, yet at a few periods they are
very easily damaged. We have large
areas to handle and cannot give them
the same care one could give q few
plants.
We give the soil n thorough dress
ing of fresh manure early in the fall
and SOW to rye. In April we plow the
corn or other crops that will have
good culture.
We prefer to plant any time during
September, but planting may be done
at any time (if well watered for q few
days) from September 1 to May. We
do not approve Of lifting plants in
the spring after they have begun al
ready to make a rapid and tender
growth.
Plants that are kept dormant by be-
ing dug in the fall may be planted un-
til June with fine success. We have
planted big clumps when in full bloom
and they grew well, but we do not adj
wise it except when absolutely neces-
sary.
When planting peonies in clayey
ground, they should be set about four
inches deep, but in light, sandy or
loamy soil, five or six inches deep. Old
clumps l plant a bit deeper, leaving
when more soil is drawn over them
to make the surface level.
Never use much the first
year on newly planted peonies and care
should always be exercised not to
overmanure them. The best way is
to cultivate them about three inches
deep, then apply about one inch of any
manure, working the ground several
times before winter sets in, or they
may be MANFRED after the ground
freezes and the manure worked into
the soil in the spring.
Keep all the weeds out of the
peonies and do not dig over three
inches deep from October until the
buds are as large as acorns. Many
persons have complained about their
peonies not blooming, and upon inves-
tigation and from observations from
my W experience / found that when.
ever we dug deeply around plants at
the time above stated the plants either
came up blind or bore a very small

GROW YOUR ROSES FROM CUT
TlNGS

A good way to increase your stock
of roses Is from cuttings. Select a
branch of half-hardened wood from q
thrifty bush; cut into four or flve-inch
pieces; see that each of these has sew
eral eyes from which growth can start /;
trim off the leaves except a few near
the top of the cutting.
Keep the cuttings in n glass Of wa
ter for a couple of days.
Select a sunny place In the garden,
which has excellent soil. Dig it up
well and put in the slips about half
their length. Press the soil tightly
about the cuttings, water well, and COW
er with n glass jar or a large tumbler.
Keep the ground moist by pouring wa
ter around the glass without lifting it
up.
Growth should show through the
glass In a few weeks, when the plants
may be gradually accustomed to the
air. Cuttings can be taken as late
as mid-OctOber, put down in this way
and when cold weather comes Just heap
the earth high owe them, glasses and
all. In the spring you will find that
more than half have survived.
