THINNING OUT FRUITS.
It Moat De Done in Hood Season U
Ilea II r HatUfactorr Hranlts Art
to He Outalaed.
The averape fiirmcr pays little or
no attention to thinning fruit. If the
tree is overloaded, so that the llmbl
bend almost to the breaking point,
ioiae will set props under the limbs
to keep them from breaking entirely
down, while others more careless will
let the limbs break off. Thej may
complain of the siz'- and quality of
the fruit when ii is harvested, but
few think it necessary or will take
the trouble to thin out in good sea
son, and thereby not only save the
trees, but secure fruit of a much bet
ter quality, In nearly nil coses a
tree making a thrifty growth will, if
left unmolested, set more fruit than
under ordinary conditions it should
be allowed to mature. In fact, one
cuuse, though not the only one. of
trees failing to bear is on account of
being allowed to overbear one year,
lowering the vitality to such an ex
tent that the tree is incapable of
bearing the next year.
Thinning can be done to an advan
tage where fruit of good si.c and
ouulity is desired. But if anything
like satisfactory results are secured
it must be done in good season, rea
sonably soon after the fruit sct.
The larger the fruit is allowed to
become before thinning the greater
the drain upon the tree and the less
good will result.
It Of course seems troublesome to
go to fruit trees and take off from
one-fourth to one-half the specimens,
selecting those that are too close to
gether anil Hint are the least promis
ing, yet when there is a full crop and
uniform choice fruit is desired, thin
ning becomes necessary. And when
it is to be done advantage should be
taken of the first favorable opportun
ity for doing the work. Peaches, pears
and grapes especially can be thinned
to an advantage, and in many cases
apples nlso. N. J. Shepherd, in Fann
ers' Voice.
Spra-rlnir 1 1 1, Petroleum.
"I have been using petroleum for
spraying my fruit trees." said a well
known grower the other day. "This
was recommended by Prof. J. B.
Smith, of the New Jersey experiment
station. Of course we always try
these new remedies with more or less
apprehension. It is that way with
every new thing. They may be all
right, and yet there is u certain
amount of danger. I sprayed 1 1n
trees before the leaves appeared, and
I must confess thst I watched csre
fully to see them start. There they
are growing nicely, nnd apparently
uninjured. The scales are. I think,
destroyed. You will observe that the
bsrk feels soft and greasy. I think
this is a good thing, for it loosens the
Imrk nnd prevents the trco getting
into the condition which would be
called hidebound in a horse."

TRANSPLANTED TREES.
They Ileiiulre More t are and Vt ntch
las Than Mont Farmers Are la
ellned to QlTS Theai.
Enough cannot be said in favor of
mulching trees as soon us they are
Wanted. It is all important to protect
the roots from the effect of evapora
tion for at least six months after plant
ing. The small fibers must be allowed
to form nnd. gi t a good hold of the soil,
and large feeding roots must be able
to reach out, so as to make sure of n
supply of food and drink for the grow th
that takes place in limbo, it is not
enough to pour on water from above.
This, of course, must be done In very
dry weather, but an Irregular supply
of this sort does not meet the demands
of the roots. Cover the soil so far us
it has been disturbed by the spade with
n layer of three or four inches of coal
ashes, or sawdust, or loose strawy
manure. Avoid using rich and raw
Kuimtre. Tnnbnrk Is In some cases
available, and where nothing else can
bi' obtained use weeds or fresh cut hay.
This application will retain the mois
ture In the soil, nnd, what is equally
Important, will keep the roots at nn
equalised temperature, Without a
mulch, the mote you pour nn water
the more liable the ground is) to bak
ing and becoming impervious to s
natural circulation of moist ure. Above
nit, avoid sprinkling the soil with s
alicht supply of water.
The care of trees, for the first ysnf
after setting, consists in pinching out
every bud that starts out of place. Be
sides keeping out the RUperAuOUl
shoots, in October cut back the year'i
growth one-third to one-half. Some
people advocate pinching In the growth
during summer, in order to returd thr
How of sap and hasten the formation o)
fruit buds. This enn be done, but in, the
production of healthy, long lived tree
it is unwise. By follow Ing these simpjt
rules anyone can make a success of t ree
planting. It is very seldom thai trees
come from any nursery In such a con
dltlon that they will not thrive undei

Just uh soundly aoid snores just as

Instinct of the worm tenches it to
get out tif the apple just us quickly as
possible after it drops. 1 have stood
and watched an apple after it Struck
the ground, and seen the worm come
hustling out in a hurry and go for
some secure place, and before the pig
gets the apple the worm is in some
safe hilling place. Not so the
sheep; they never sleep so soundly
but they will hear un apple falling
rods away, and they are up and there
before the worm can get out, and
that worm is traveling to that bourne
whence no worm ever comes back to

are good, but sheep are a hundred

Those Canadians who want all the
trade they can get from England are
now planning to send peaches in b'x
of four or five peaches in a box, or in
larger boxes pnrted like our egg cases,
and they exprctto get about 50 cents
each for handsome peaches in London.
At least, they sold readily at that price
last year, and the dvmand exceeded the
supply. Teaches nre not successfully
