FALL PLANTED TREES


They Have a Nomber of Important Advantages Over Those Planted In the Spring.


The fall-pianted fruit or shade tree has a great advantage over the spring- planted tree. Our summers are hot, pretty much all over the country, and they are pretty long, too. The heat, with the long dry spells that we fre- quently have, makes the growth of the spring-planted tree very slow and un- certain. But if the planting is done in the fall, the hole dug large and deep, the top soil and suitable fertilizer placed at the bottom, over and amoog which the roots are carefully spresd, and more rich soil added, with the clay subsoil which has been removed in making the hole, poked well about the young tree at the surface, the tree will be pretty well fortified for any kind of weather. The depth and width of the hole will enable it to retain much moisture about the roots, which become well set, and hegin growth during the late fall, which is resumed at the very beginning of mild weather in the spring. There is no shock to the tree when the true growing season comes and it is ready to resume its growth. Having tried both fall and spring planting of trees, I shall hereafter, when I have occasion to plant trees, do it. in the fall of the year .- Agricultural Epitomist.

SHORT-LIVED ORCHARDS


Why Fratt Trees Weaken and Die Sooner In the Western States Than In the East.


One thing that always strikes an east- ern man un visiting the west or a west- ern man visiting the east, is the great difference In the size of the trees and the age of the orchards. There are nr- chards In the eastern states with trees over a century in age that are still bear- ing. A tree at 25 or 30 is looked upon as just in its prime. In the west ten and 15 years of bearing is about the average life of a tree.


In size they do not grow so that any- thing hut a chort foot ladder is required in picking time. Most of the fruit can be reached from the gorund or from a wagun. The trees early crack, become leenyed in the trunk and the limbs split off. A tree 30 years old is a curiosity. There is a cnuse for this which Is evi- lent to any thoughtful observer. It is the dry, but winds and sun that play, havoc with our orchards. In the great prairie country an orchard is wholly unprotected from the heavy winds which sweep unrestrained over the level cuuntry. The prevailing wind during the hot montha Is southerly. The limba with the shading leaves are hiown so tbat the bot sun shines directly on the body of the tree, drying it until the bark checks and peels loose from the wood. Water collects in this crack at the next and at every ensuing rain, and the death of the tree has begun. Decayed and weakened it cannot stand the strain of ts heavy top and some windstorm leaves it a wreck, useful only as firewood.


We cannot hope to remove the cause. Our only remedy is in perfection. A


windbreak of some hardy trees that can withstand hoth drought and wind along the south side of an orchard la of in- estimahle value to the owner. The man who contemplates putting out an or- chard should also consider a wind- break.


There is one mistake that ia made al- nost universally in the west. This is setting trees out too thinly. As most orchards are arranged, each tree ia iso- lated from its fellows aod must stand

HOW TO PULL POSTS


en the line of posts. In driving past a post he swung the team a little to the right, then slightly to the left, and hacked a few feet, bringing left hind wheel of wagon about in lime with post and within a few feet of it. One end of chain having beeu fastened around the axle near left wheel, 1 hooked the other end around post close to ground, then lifted chain and set the piece of 2 hy S under it with top end restiug against post and lower end resting on the ground some 19 incbes from post. As the team started slowly the post started skyward, then fell prostrate and was at once loaded into the wegon. When the end of the line was reached. In a short time, the job was complete and we were ready to drive off with our load of posts .- George T. Pettit, in Ohio Farmer.
