• Can of Orchards.
Peon Bailey, of the Cornell Experiment
Station, gives the following surnmery of
the roles for successful orcharcling :
If orchards are to be made profitable,
they must receive as good care as other
crops.
Good drainage, natural or artificial, is
essential to success. Trees are impetivue
of wet feet.
Well -drained lands are dryer in wet
spells and moister in dry spells than ether
lands. They can be worked earlier in
spring.
Goad tilage increases the food supply
of the soil, end also conserves its nims-
ture.
Trees should be made to send their
roots deep into the soil, in order to fortify
themselves against drought. This is done
by draining the soil and plowing the or-
chard xather deep.
This deep plowing should begin the
very, year the trees are set, and it should
be continued tienry spring until the habit
•
of the trees is oeteblished.
Moisture is eetained in the upper sell by
very frequent but shallow tillage, by
means of which the surface of the land
becomes a mulch for the soil beneath.
Tillage should be begun just as soon as
the ground is dry enough in spring. '
This tillage should be repeated tlF, often
as once in tun days throughout the grow-
ing season, which extends from spring
until July or August.
Tillage should not exist for the purpose
of killiiig weeds. Weeds have taught the
most important lesson in agriculture, to
be sure, but the schoolmaster should now
be able to retire.
Late cultivation may be linjurious by
inducing a late growth. At all events, it
can lee of small utility when the tree be-
gins to mature and ram becomes frequent.
This season. of respite gives the grower
the opportunity of raising a green man-
ure, and of adding fertility to his land at
triffing expense and with no harm to his
tree.
Fall plowing may be advisable for farm
crops, bet it should generally be discour-
aged in orchards. The land in orchards
should be left compact in the fall, and it
is advisable to cover it with some close
herbage.
Only cultivated crops should be allowecl
in orchards early in the season. Grain
and hay should. never be grown.
Nursery stock should not be grown in
orchards.
Even hoed or cultivated crops may rob
the trees of moisture and fertility it they
aro allowed to stand above the tree roots.
Cultivators is the best crop to raise in
an orchard.
Sod is sometimes allowable in apple and
standard pear orchards'but never in
other fruit plantations; but even then it
should be pastured closely with sheep or
hogs. If the stook is fed at the same time
the land will fare better.
Watch a sod orchard. It will begin to
'fail before yoa know it.
Probably nine -tenths of the apple or-
chards of New York State are in sod, and
many of them are meadows. Of course
they are failing.
The remedy for these apple failures is
to cut down many of the orchards. For
the remainder, the treatment is caltiva-
tion, fertilizing, spraying—the trinity of
orthodox apple growing.
In general, level culture is best. The
modern cultivators and harrows make
such cultivation easy.
Trees, especially apples are often train-
ed. too high, because of t:.he difficulty of
working close to them. Modern tools
will bring the heads within reach.
Harnesses with no projectinnehomes or
metal turretscl
should be used bearing,
orchards. These requiring no whiffietrees
are also useful.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to be ap-
plied to fruit trees, particularly after
they come into bearing..
Potash may be had hn wood ashes and
muriate of potash. It is rnost commonly
usecl in the latter form. An annual ap-
plication of potash should be made upon
bearing orchards. 'Of the muriate from
5 10 to 7. It, pounds may be usecito the acre
in mature orchards.

who lost her life through a criminal op-

Whether a farmer can use m lull or lit-
tiemineral fertilizer meet depend on how
much he 'can make by it, his may ase

the increased yield will not pay him. He
may use large amounts and make propor-
pertionately large profit. So long as the:
increased crop pays its cost and some-
thing. in additionethe farmer cannot a,f-
ford: to do without it, and if he be a
shrewd fame,: he will not attenipt to do
so. Mineral manares are preeetical aids to
soil fertility. They are not merely stim-
ulants to the crop, as ueed to be thought,.
but if they are used in connectionwith
frequent seeding with clowr the mineral
fertilizer will a,e surely inereaen fertility
as will a dressingof stable manure.
There is less liability that the mineral
fertilizer will become soluble and be wash -
oat of the soil, for its tendency is to form
compounds in the soil that cmly the most
vigorous feeders among plants will. be
able to unlook. Wheihver mineral ferti-
lizins have been applied year after year
'the growing of clover is especially advan-
tageous, as this plant can reach potash
en -d, phosphates that would be lost if the
land e ere continuously cropped with.
grein.
Phosphoric Acid is the seeund import-
ant fertilizer to be applied artifically to
orchards. It may be got as plain high-
grade super -phosphate (dissolved South
Carolina rock), in the bone fertilizers, and.
perhaps in Thomas slag. Of the plain
super -phosphates, from. 8e... to 5s, pounds.
may be applied. to the acre.
Nitrogen cau be obtained cheapest.1(y
means 0± thorough tillage (to proneste
nitrification) and nitrogenous green .:noe-
nures.- There is rarely occasion for buy-
ing it for fruit plantations, if the lands eee
properly tilled and eropped.
Nitrogen promotes growth. It should,.
therefore be used with great caution, for
orchard trees should be grown for fruit
rather than for timber.
Barn manures are generally- more eco-
nomically used when applied to finen crops
than when applied to orchards, yet they
can be used with good results, partieulaen
ly when rejuvenating old orchards.
In general, the commercial complete
fertilizers are less rational in orchards.
than it fertilizer made for the occasion outs
of materials evidently needed for ths.
trees; but the complete fertilizers give
much better resells than .the prevailing
indifference and neglect.
Cultivation may be stopped late in ths.
season., ancl a crop can then be sown upon
the 'encl. The crop may serve as a cover
or pretuction to the soil and as a green,
manure.
A. green manure improves .the soil by
adding fiber to it and by increasing its.
fereility. It catches the nitrates Which,.
eardier in the season, are used by the tree
roots. Vegetable fiber in the soil increases
its power of holding both moisture and
plant food.
The crops well adapten to this tete sew-
ing:are few. Vetch it probably the best
which has been well tested in this State.
But everything points to eriinson clover
as the ideal orchard cover and grie
manure.

A. writer in the American Cultivator,
in urging a larger use anznanure per acre
says that it is always the aim of farmers
to grow more of the crops which tend to
increase soil fertility, either by making'
more nitrogen in the soil or by mcreasing,
the solubility of its inin.eral plaeit food..
But there is euro to be great competition
in growing these crops, and, except in
making the soil more fertile, they do not
give the profit that is made with crop
which exhaust fertility more rapidly.
The question whether farmers should use
the mineral manures is wholly one of
profit or loss such use involves. In local-
ities far removed from market, a,nd where
land is of little value, the slow method of
increasing fertility by growing renovating
crops .is often the only one that can be
adopted. Bat where markets are near
and the land is valuable this slow method
is mom expensive than any other.
market gardener uses mob year more per
acre of manure than would buy an acre
of rich land 41 lees favorable locality.
But he can well afford to do this. Ire
sells the crop sometimes for five or six
hundred dollars per aerie, more than pay-
ing for all expended itt growingit, both itt
manure and labor.
Less exposure of milk and cream to the
atmosphere; no sour milk nor cream in
summer, with their attendantevils; more
butter per hundred pounds of milk, and
lessened labor, are advantages possessed
by this system over the shall -ow pans, Be
it remembered., however, that unless it
temperature of 46 0 or 'owes, be preserve
ed during all the time of setting, the shal-
low pan will enive bettor results than th.e
deep can. l'he churning of deep can
cream, making of the butter, etc" will be
disoussed in a later ettichn
