Not Advisable -'-Fran- Ing and Spraying Advot<ated- Thriflty Ewen Mean a Big Lamb Crop, (Contributed by Ontario Department 01 Agriculture, Toronto.) FV 1: leased orchards in the Counties pf Stmeoe, Nor- folk, Prince Edward. Lambton and Ontario, all beim; in apple growing sections, were looked after by the Ontario Department of Agri- culture during the war. Four of these have been very profitable. In the Prince Edward county orchard it was suecessfully demonstrated that new beads could be put on old trees. The Department found that leasing apple oreliards is a profitable busi- ness, but several things must be done to make it so. On the lighter soils many of the trees are positively .*arvtng while on heavier hinds this may not be so apparent. In the =xperinients very little commercial fertilizer was used, but the Pep>rt •+:e;rt depended on t'he use of barn- e:trJ manure, mostly secured from t'i+tt,:ttra. ?,bout ; t•ven tons per aero r+' sufecient for one application, which gives about 400 paunds per and the total roar is about $21 t acne The amount looks big butt Peere ea cioatht that it will pay -.:'.l to spread that muelx on light alt n'.l neatly every year. Own Six or seven years a€o we Began ploughing, iu the fall, several row of trues in all the iti'ased or- chards (a portidtt being left in sod to test the sod mulch). This was 'af?®e in order tla.:t we could answer frn:a experience the frequent qui'. tion --it'lt.tt'about fall ploughing? When the. land is fall laieueited cultivation e:an be beetle luxe.) earlier in the uring. It costs )much lees to get laxed in good condition when It bile been ploughed before winter, but we caul see no advantage in ploughing closer than five feet from the tree. The troublesome part in ereltard cultivationis close to the trualt and it is frequently tililleu1t to work near the tree without injur- ing tial' bark, We have tested cultivation against sod nsulche and lravo 'concluded that nearly all the orchard;, will be more profitable when cultivation is carried ern, unless tho land is lirint-class nal there is plenty of barnyard manure for mulching. When to stop culti- vation is rather hard to answer. It depends on the season. The drier the weather the later the cultivation should be carried on. On rich land apples will grow inng after cultivation hes ceased. We are stopping our cultivation earlier and earlier every year because our On- tario appleslack color;r, l C s cultiva- tion means more color, more color higher priced fruit. liediunr •apple's slightly colored seem preferable to Huger ones lacking color. When cul- tivation is stopped a cover crop is fre- quently sown. The principal object Is to rob the trees of nourishment in order that the fruit will color and the wood will ripen before winter. Some low growing crop from cheap seed gives most satisfaction. Trees must be 'pruned to get high class apples. The best time to prune is early spring but we prune any month when the weather is not too cold for our men. If there are large cuts to make we leave a stub about one foot long and cut it off in the spring, as cuts of two inches or more do not heal well when made In the very cold weather; large cuts should be kept painted to keep the wood from decaying. Pruning is a slow business and it costs a lot to get a big orchard done, but it is absolutely necessary if good apples are expected. High trees are difficult to spray thor- oughly. Twenty feet is high enough for any tree and several feet of top may be removed in a season with no bad effects. The tree with a low head Is easier pruned, easier sprayed, can be picked for half the cost, and the wind will not blow down so many apples. -W. F. Iiydd, Fruit Branch, Toronto. Thrifty Ewes Mean Bigger Lamb Crop.. The best results from breeding are obtained from ewes that are in a gaining condition: If they are thin from having been kept on short fall pastures, they should have a little grain -from one-quarter to one-half a pound a day. This will put them in good condition and they will breed earlier and increase the lamb erop. Some fairly accurate' record should be kept when the ewes are bred in order that when lambing time ap- proaches the ewes may be separated from the main flock and given extra feed and care. If ticks, lice or scab appear in the 'flock, the sheep should be dipped even though the weather is'a little severe. This is extra work, but the flock will be more healthy and thrifty. A warm place should be provided the sheep until they dry off. The ram should also receive extra care at this time. In order to keep him active, vigorous and in fair flesh during the breeding season he should be fed a pound or two of grain every day. "Extra care of ewes and breed- ing ram at this time," says Mr. Anderson, "will insure a larger and stronger lamb crop and well repay the fiockmaster for his extra labor." Farm Notes. From now on empty the hopper of the gasoline engine after using, and peot"ect batteries from frost. • Do not forget that salt and water are as necessary for the cow as is feed. tti tablespoonful of charcoal mixed with the feed aids digestion. , The dairy farmer not only studies how to feed his cow, but how to teed his land. He is not a soil robber, as he realizes that the farmer who re- duces the fertility of his land robs without reason, since he steals from himself. STANLEY ---.A. eeeleilenneKinetbefel ee.
