CARE, OF FRUIT TREES
All fruit trees whea they cease to
bear good crops of frutit should be
grubbed and burned. Up and
down
the country there are too many old
anduseless fruit trees; and why they
should remain only. to.. cumber the
ground I cannot understnad To keep
u,7 the stock of fertile fruit trees
there should always be young ones in
preparation to take the .place of
those that are worn out, then when
an orchard tree fails to bear fruit,the
young ones at once take its place, 1t
shouldbe understood, however, that
when the old tree has .been grubbed
up, the soil in which it has been grow-
ing should . be renewed, and if • need
be some rough material in the way of
broken bricks, etc, putt into, the bot-
tom to assist drainage if the subsoil
is all heavy and 'inclined to hold wat-
er Those who like to do home graf-
ting need never to be without young
healthy trees. It may be pointed out
that old trees must not, be condemned
until one is, quite sure thktt they etre
past renewing, as many suffer from
pure neglect.in the way of food,
