crop
vigorously it is enabled to hold its own

and seeding of- weeds. However; in;
spite of the best of 'care there will al-
ways be weeds demanding some extra
attention. In cultivated crops this can
be given the season through, and espe-
cially before harvest; in grain and
hay there is little opportunity until
the crop is off. If not delayed then too
long, many of the weeds of these crops`
can still' be taken in :hand, and some
of them with the greatest of time-
liness. _ ..
Some weeds like ragweed and Rus-
sian thistle push up rapidly about this

The object of cultivation is four-
fold; (1) To destroy and prevent the
growth of noxious weeds. (2) To de-
velop various degrees of openness of.
texture and uniformity of soil condi-
tions suitable to plant growth. (3)
To modify the movemeht of soil mois-
ture and soil air. (4) To change soil
conditions so as to make it either
- warmer or colder.
The cultivation of the soil, should
begin at the first indication of weeds;
in: fact, it is still better to make a start
before the weeds get rooted. To ex-
pose them to the hot sun in the ger-
minating stage is the most effective
way to kill weeds. If harrowing has
been properly carried on cultivation
may begin with a cultivator, the teeth
of which are 2 to 23 inches wide, but,
if the soil is soddy or lumpy; a narrow-
toothed cultivator will be necessary
to do effective work. Be sure the cul-
tivator has a sufficient number of
teeth to cover the ground. effectively
—.that is, so that the whole surface of
the ground will be thoroughly, stirred
to a depth of from 2 to 3 inches.

Profitable : Methods of
Handling Manure.
Manure is worth money, varying in
amount depending upon the method of
handling and upon the crops to which
it is applied. If the hest methods can

COWS AND CR.I''.B
APPLES
Perhaps many have noticed that
wild crabapple trees are much more
plentiful in pastured woodlands than
they are in places where there are no
cattle. The correlation between cows
and crab apples seems to ee very close,
for it is in the favorite loafing places
of cattle—near the pasture `gate, for
example—that the thickets of little
trees are found to be most abundant.
The reason for this peculiar situa-
tion lies in the apparent'neeessity for
theintevention of cattle in the plant-
ing of the trees. A little observation
of the seedlings willshow that almost
without exception they bear traces of
cattle droppings about their roots, and
one will frequently find patches of re-
latively fresh droppings with a more
or more of newly sprouted seedlings
sticking out of it, like pins in a pin-
cushion. Very rarely indeed does one
find a' crabapple that has not arisen,
like the scriptural poor, from the
dunghill,
Before a seed of these wild apples
will sprout, it has to take a trip
through thedigestivetract of an ani-
mal. Experiments` with seeds cut out
of sound crab apples have shown that
of hundreds planted only a few germ

Lux is for fine fabrics, imprison it so securely that the poor
thing never gets a chance to break
through. But if a cow eats the apple,
the tough seed coat is subjected • to the
action of the digestive fluids, and so
softened and weakened that when the
seed is finally discharged from the
animal's body it is in good condition
for germination.
However, old Brindle's interest in
crabapple trees does not cease with
the planting. As they grow she prunes
them as well. The trees in a pasture
will always be found in a series of
fantastic forms—the smaller ones
cropped down into round little mounds,
the larger ones in conical pyramids
and finally in hour -glass shapes, It
will be found in every instance that
the curve of any of -these figures will
have a radius equal to the length of
the average cow's reach with neck
head and tongue. The leaves and
twigs, and even the thorns while they
are still young and green, seem to
have an especial attraction for the bo-
vine palate, and as soon as ever en
inch of green growth comes within
grabbing distance it is pulled ofl'. In
well -pastured mcadbws this cow land-
scaping keeps the trees as close•

topiarists.
When to Plant Small Fruits
and Ornamentals.
Dealing with fall planting, Mr. W.
T. Macoun, Dominion -Horticulturist,
says that bush fruits, such as cur-
rants and gooseberries, which begin
growth early in the spring, are best
planted in the fall—the latter part of
September. Raspberries can be plant-
ed either in the fall or in the spring,
but fall planting gives opportunity
for replacement in the spring if any
should die.
If strawberries are planted in the
fall, it should be early in September,
so as to become rooted before winter;
but early in the spring is the ideal
time -to plant strawberries. If not
planted them, Mr. Macoun says it
would be advisable to use pot plants
and plant in August, and then it
might be possible to obtain fruit the
following spring.
Spring is the proper time for plant-
ing fruit trees, ornamental trees and
shrubs, although] adds our authority—
as it will not matter much if the
branches of shrubs ale killed back at
first—should the fall be found more
convenient they can be planted quite
satisfactorily then. Conifers should
not be planted in the fall. Roses may
be planted quite successfullyin the
fall, and may escape winter killing.
If planted in the spring, it is advisable
that they be planted at the first op-
portunity in order to be well estab-
lished before the hot weather sets in.
Fall is the best time to plant most
herbaceous perennials. The peony
should be planted in September if
possible:
