TIME TO PRUNE APPLE TREES
Early Spring Is Recommended-Se- were Pruning Not Necessary
 Do the Work Gradually.

Early spring is the best time to prune apple trees. More and more at tention is being given to the pruning of young and old trees in order that they may be able to support large loads of fruit Yet too many trees have been neglected and now look like brush heaps instead of fruit trees.
 Neglected trees should have all dead and interlocking branches removed this year Next year a few more needless branches should be taken out and some of the others shortened The following year others should be cut out. In this way severe pruning is not necessary and tree is got into good form gradually.

FERTILIZE THE PEACH TREES
Delaware Experiment Station Reports Series of Tests Made on
 Seven-Year-Oid Orchard.

That the fertilization of the second season should be as ample as that of the first in the peach orchard, has been demonstrated by experiments car ried on in Delaware. The experiment station reports a series of fertilizer eX- perimentS operated for three seasons on a seven-year-old peach orchard, with a total cost for the seven years of S136.50 an acre. The gross receipts for three crops were $1,773 68 per acre, while the adjacent unfertilized plot averaged on the same basis total re- ceipts of $503.62, less than one-third of the former receipts.
 At meeting of the Peninsula Hor- ticultural society, MT. Houston of Der lin, Md, reported the net earnings from a 100-acre peach orchard that came into profitable bearing in 1913 He applied about 800 pounds of high grade fertilizer per acre early in the disk harrow between March 10 and 20. He continued the cultivation regularly until about July 10.
 MT Houston's advice regarding treatment for curculios and brown rot is that it should be started a week be- fore it is really needed or generally recommended. He sprays the blossoms once with mixture of two pounds of lime, two pounds of arsenate of lead and fifty gallons of water. Seven days later, when the blossoms are full or are beginning to drop, he again sprays with mixture of eight pounds of lime, eight pounds of sulphur and two pounds of arsenate of lead. This is repeated ten days later.
 When the peaches are well formed, the spraying is repeated, but the ar senate of lead is omitted for fear of injuring the fruit. According to MT Houston, this system of spraying kills the brown rot. The last spray is given from July to 10. Late varieties, such as Crawford's Late may be sprayed later than the earlier varieties.

PREVENT RABBITS FROM INJURING TREES
A Good Rabbit Trap Which Explains Itself.

washes is that heavy rains wash them off and make it necessary to repeat the application. It is not difficult to find or devise preparations which will keep rabbits away. Rabbits are very particular about their food, and any taint on the tree will keep them from injuring it. The following has been recommended by the Oklahoma sta tion and found very satisfactory: Water one gallon; one pound of soap; two to four ounces of carbolic acid Some prefer to add enough vermilion red to give the mixture good pink color and the consistency of cream. trees with brush or swab of rags tied to a stick.
 Another wash, which has given sat isfaction, is made by stacking one peck of fresh stone lime with soap suds. Thin to the consistency of whitewash, add one-half gallon of crude carbolic acid, four pounds sul- phur and one gallon of soft soap
 The United States department of az riculture recommends the lime-sluphur wash as giving satisfactory results. This wash consists of: Unslaked lime, 20 pounds; flowers of sulphur, 15 pounds; water, 50 gallons. The lime, sulphur and one-third of the water are boiled together for one hour, and then the rest of the water is added. By add ing salt the wash will stick better
 The Arkansas experiment station has found that painting the trunks of the trees with white lead and linseed oil gave very satisfactory results. Mixed paints should not be substituted as they may contain oils which would :njure the trees. One advantage of this mixture is that one application is sufficient for the entire season.

By D. c. MOORING)
 Rabbits are very particular as to what they eat, and feed only on vege table matter. They prefer the more succulent kinds, such as vegetables, clover, alfalfa and fallen fruit. When none of these foods are available, they often eat the bark of trees, especially when snow covers other food.
 1t IS very easy to prevent rabbits from injuring trees, and all cases of damage are due to neglect rather than to lack of efficient remedies. Your premises should not afford hiding places for rabbits such as brush piles This is not meant to include green cover crop in the orchard. An or chard with cover crop above the snow is seldom if ever injured.
 Traps are very effective in catching rabbits. The more traps you have the better. This is not so economical method as poisoning for protecting the trees, but it furnishes amusement for the children and also provides meat for the table.
 mere are two general ways of poi soning rabbits. CD By placing poi soned water in their runs, especially during dry weather. CD By placing poisoned food where they can get it. The following, which was originally recommended by the Ohio station, has given satisfaction: One part sulphate of strychnine, one-third part borax, one part white soap, ten parts water. Shake well and apply to tender twigs with brush or by dipping and dis tribute the poisoned twigs around the trees.
 There have been a number of washes and paints of various kinds recom- mended as being effective against rab- bits. The disadvantage of these

DIVERSITY ON FARM
 IS MOST PROFITABLE
Opportunity Given for Crop Rota. ton and for Maintenance of
 Fertility of the Soil.

By ALVA BENTON, University Farm,
 St Paul, Minn)
 Farm records show, and good farm CTS agree in general, that diversified farming is most profitable. Diversified farming means raising live stock and various kinds of crops. Diversified farming gives opportunity for crop TO- tation, for distribution of man and horse labor, and for the maintenance of soil fertility. All of these are es- sential to good farming. Crop rotation aids in maintaining crop yields and soil fertility; the distribution of labor reduces the cost of operation; the maintenance of soil fertility is the ba. sis of all successful agriculture.
 Diversified farming Is of great i'm portapce because it gives the farmer an opportunity to carry out all the best farm practices
 Is your farming properly diversified?

TENT CATERPILLAR
 DOES MUCH DAMAGE
Insect Was in Great Evidence Last Year, and Promises More
 Destruction This Summer.

The apple tree caterpillar which was in great evidence last year Is promis- ing more destruction during the con- ing season. Prof. M. A. Cobb of the agricultural department of the Gen. tral Michigan Normal school finds that there are millions of egg masses fas- tened on the limbs of the fruit and forest trees. These masses can be gathered and destroyed at this season of the year, and 1t will do much to reduce the number of the pests that come out next season.
 Last year many orchards were near ly defoliated by the tent caterpillar and large apple trees were found which contained from two to fifteen tents. The growers often burned them out with torches before they had con- sumed all the foliage on the tree, but the difficult work in thickly infested orchards and where the egg masses can be destroyed, that is the surest way of reducing the number of the troublesome pest.

MUCH HARM BY BARK BEETLE
Expectations of This Pest Can Be Prevented by Washing Trees With
