A SUCCESSFUL, ORCtIAtW Kenneth Cameron, West Wewanorh, tells of his Methods ef Apple Growing, About 2:3 years ago 1()latutc(1 out 8 acrd of orchard, and with le tares of older tree,,. began apple growing. The first 8 or 9 year's the younger portion of the orchard was cultivated, and a number of root and corn crops were taken oft. '!'hen it was 51.; ' G cd ci (IowIi. About ten years ago I began the mulch- ing system. The grass is cut with a mow- er every year, late hi ,lune and left lying on the ground. By this method a good mulch is obtained, which holds the moist- ure fairly well altd gt'ot`s a good sized, well colored apple. Thue fallen fruit is very little bruised, is net soiled and is much nicer getting around than on culti- vated land. I might just say that my soil is a rich clay loam, and I do not think my method would do well on gravelly or, sandy soil, On those soils I would recom.' mend the cultivating method. I. pruneannually, beginning early in March and continuing until near the end of April in the ordinary season. I give the trees a fair dressing of barnyard man- ure every second year. This along with the annual pruning, keeps the trees in a vigorous and well balanced condition, 'rhe spraying is done 4 or 5 times each season with lime and sulphur and arsen- ate of lead. The first spraying is given with lime and sulphur 1 to 10, wln the buds are swell- ing. The second is made with lime and sul- phur 1 to 35 and 21 pounds of lead to 40 gallons of water, when the buds are show- ing pink. ' For the third I use lime and sulphur 1 bo 40 and 2e pounds of lead to 40 gallons of water when the bloom falls. For the fourth, lime and sulphur only 1 to 45, lethal 10 clays to 2 weeks after the third spraying. If the season is very wet a fifth spray- ing is applied 'at about the same strength as the fourth, with lime and sulphur only. I spray from•both sides of the trees, and after the first spraying, I do not drench the tree; but come as near to the drench- ing point as possible, but stop there. From my experience, I find I have bet- ter results this way tlian from drenching. I also thin the fruit on the trees when overloaded. This pays in more ways than one. Besides raising the percentage of No. 1 fruit much higher and putting very many into the fancy grade, iL leaves the trees much stronger and with a greater tendency to annual bearing. The cost of picking, packing, etc, is decidedly reduced at a time when labor is scarce and wages high. `p We handle the fruit in a large packing building suibable for the business, but if the weather is favorable we do considerable packing outside. Under these methods this orchard has yielded heavy crops for many years. The 181st three years alone the amount being over 3,250 barrels of packed fruit, of which a very high percentage was of choice grades.—Canadian Countryman.

Costs Sotncilting Every line in a newspaper costs the pro- prietor something. If it is tier the benefit of the individual it should be paid for. If the grocer were asked to contribute gsto- ceries to one abtuidantly able to pay for them, he would refuse. The proprietor of a news paper must pay for the free advertis- ing if the beneficiary does not and yet it is one of else hardest things to be learned by Many, that a newspaper has space in its eolunlns to rent, and must rent them to live To give away rent for anything Jess than living rates is as fatal to a newspaper alt for a landlord to furnish rent free.
