It has been decided to plant three
treea in it from every State in the
Union.
A i.aim of San Francisco lately re- 1
ceived home plants from Mexico, and
with the pluiits cauie the advice to
fertilize thern with waste collie and i
collee grounds. This was done and '
the results were ho satisfactory that !
the same treatment was tried on { ■
roses and the elfect was u healthy and
vigorous gmwth and more and letter i
flower# and of richer colors. ,
Sincr the decline in profitable '
grain farming in (ireat I'ritian, Fng- '
lish farmers are paying more alien- i
tion to fruit, putting out oranges on i'
land formerly devoted to tillage, i
This may not, however, indicate a !
lessened demand for American fruit |
for many years to come. The <
home supply of fruits in Kngland i
has always Ween smaller than in this i
country.
Ciiukess. when first hatched,
should not Is- hurried out of the j
setting nest. For twenty-four hours 1
at least from the time the earliest 1
commence to show tlieuiielves.it is
better t>> leave them under or with i
the hen mother. 1 hey i ecd no food
for from a day to a day and a half
usually. When tin v get strong
enough to venture from beneath their
mother's wings, it i time to move
the brood.
IM t a tcaspoonful of sulphur in
the neat as s ,un as hens or turkevs
are set. The heat of the fowls causes
tip' futnes of the sulphur to penetrate
every part of their bodies ; ivory
louse is killed, and as nil nits are
hatched within ten days, when the
mother leaves the nest with her
brood, she is perfectly free fr >:u pits
or lice.
Tiie fruit grower, when training i
his trees should have #n idea in his
j mind of just what he want*, both as
to size and shape. If he has this,
and will"attend to the pruning at the f
projier time, there nee I be very little |
cutting of large branehes to leave j
bad wounds to biing disease and de- I
cay upon the tree itself. A tire
should be so shaped that it will be |
strong enough to hold up it# load of
fruit, compact enough to withstand
severe winds, and ojien and thin
J enough to give a healthy growth to j
| all the leave# and fruit. A great
j many trees are neglected till the tops ■
are so thick, and the growth to tine !
that large, healthy fruit is an impos- |
sibility. A certain amount of room,
of air aad sunlight is required for
the healthy development of every
thing that grows. Large fruit can
only lc produced upon trees that
have large healthy leaves, and where
there are three or four twig# or
leaves where there should Ire but one,
the fruit must Ire small.
Bprlntf Work.
<4t-rfllMllt'r II T l*grJr|l.
Now, Irefore the warm weather
gives life and motion to many insects
who use the barks of tre.es for tln ir i
winter quarters, is us good time as
j any -and before active outdoor work
begins—to clean off all the moss and j
superfluous or old bark from the
trunks of trees. Not only the in
sects, but their millions of eggs and
the seeds of various blights and mil
dews are sheltered in the crevices and
rough places of the old barks, moss,
Ac. It should Ire taken for granted
that the appearance of the vegetable ;
organisms on the stems of trees, as
well ns upon the bark of the trunks, ,
shows that something has already ,
gone wrong. Something has pre
vented the tree from thriving as it |
should have done, and because it did ■
not thrive tire moss followed. When, I
therefore we make up our minds to '
look after the moss, it will be us well
to find out what is the matter with j
the tree, and if possible place it in a ,
position to throw oil a# it grows the f
dead hark on which the mosses arid
sickness fetal.
The stunted condition of the trees (
which induces mossy and lade-bound (
bark is more frequently the work of
etui ration than an\thing else. When ■
J n 1
the tree does not expand fust the >
bark is not thrown oil but remains ori j
the tree to alow d. cay ; but with a ,
rapid expansion it is thrown off as u
tree swells and thus k< eps its own- j
self clean. Starvation keeps the tree r
from growing. A liberal supply of |
good food making a tree thrive and r
expand rapidly, is one of the )s>st ,
means of keeping a tree clean and t
clear of mos.
W hen a tree has got once into this
hardened condition, mere manuring •
will hardly get it out alone. In such '
i
case* orchardists make use of a life
eral application of the pruning knife
—cutting away all the branches
which may seem to 1c pretty well '
hardened or stunted. This brings on '
a free growth of foliage the next 1
season, and a free growth is one of 1
the best ways to kevp the main stems )
clean. <
Much <an Is' done in the early
spring with those old star vet) and '
stunt* d tr< es towards getting thi m to
do Is tter. The loose bark inav Is
scraped off, and even washed with
weak potash wat, i or soft soap. The
branches which m gone beyond
recovery,or are toowca*. or so much
stunted as to promise little in the
furore, rnav le cut away, and some
good fertilizing material may be
hauled and spread under the trees.
As to what i a gtHsl fertilizer for
fruit trees much has been written,
but we believe for the apple and pear
almost anything that comes conveni
ent to hand is good. We knew years
ago one very successful apple raiser
who used nothing whatever but ahes
from the kitchen. These were always
saved expressly foi hi* apple orchard
and spread evenly on the ground
j under each tree. It is commonly
said that there is no nutrition in an
thracite coal ashes, and perhaps there
is not; hut it is a fact that these
trees grew amazingly, and lorc a
i large crop of the most beautiful
fruit. It may lie that the wood ash
es from the "kindling." and perhaps
some kitchen refuse among the rest,
were the chief fertilising ingredients,
lie that as it may, this orchard was
a grand success. The bark was ml- J
ways smooth and healthy looking,
without any washing or scraping
Nothing in the orchard line could
look better. We have known others
who used simply ditch cleanings, or
good top soil from wet places, sod
always with considerable increase in
the apparent health and vigor of the j
tree.

Farm Maxima.
I)o not cultivate poor land, it is
a feeble mother which can give no

Kxert yourself to produce manure
on the farm. Such manure is the
Hour which makes the loaf.
"No grass, no stock ; no stock, no
manure ; no manure, no permanent
improvement of the land."
Manure! manure! manure! and
as before suggested, rely on the farm
principally to produce it. It will "put
money in your pocket."
If your land is poor, you must
limit the area of cultivation to your
ability to manure—let it Ire ever so
little- and you will be the gainer by
it.
Keep as much stock as can be fed
well, for this adds to the manure pile
and their increase, and a few fat car
castes afford a big interest on the in
vestment.
Diversify crops as much as possi-.
ble, and do not rely on one staple
This will make vour manure and
labor pay a profit in some places
when they may fail in others.
bring to the aid of your manure
pile green fallow crops, and try to
clothe the bosom of mother earth
with the green verdure of grass,
from which live stock can be fed.
Groan Seed for Pastures
The following was prepared for the
Onondago Farmers' Club by the Hon.
Deo. (teddes :
It may I* objected that this seed
ing costs too much, say f.'i per acre.
Men will decide upon this themselves.
But is it not true economy to cover
the surface with grass as soon as prac
ticable and secure a succession for
fresh pasture during all the season ?
This is less costly than manuring
land with barnyard manure or com
mercial fertilizers. In fact, a good,
thick heavy turf is aliout the founda
tion ol improvement:
