HORTICULTURE
PLANTING A FRUIT TREE.
The Method Has Much to Do with Its
Subsequent Development
and Growth.
Multitudes of fruit trees are annu
ally lost by being incorrectly planted.
The careless man loses more trees
than any other man simply because he
tries to save trouble in the work of
planting. He saves work in preparing
the ground for the tree. The worst
method is quite commonly followed,
which is to merely dig a big hole in
soil that has been for a long time un
disturbed. The soil in the hole is
loose, and soil around the sides and
on the bottom is hard packed. Often
this hard packing is made worse by
the men getting into the hole and
tramping it while shoveling out the
dirt. This virtually “puddles” the bot
tom if the soil be moist, and this ren
ders it almost impervious to water.
Stock ponds are made water tight in
that way.
When the tree is set in the hole and
the dirt filled in. the conditions are
ripe for the killing of the tree at the
first heavy rain. The hole becomes a
sort of sink in which the water re
mains. Air cannot get to the roots of
the tree and hence no food can be ta
ken into the system of the tree.
When the warm days come, the tree
sends out its leaves, which are devel
oped from the latent plant food stored
up in the tree from the previous year.
But no new food gets in. as the roots
are immersed in water. After a little
time the leaves on the tree begin to
wither, and the owner wonders what
is affecting the tree. In another
month the tree is dead.
The right way to plant a tree, says
Farmers’ Review, is to prepare all the
ground by stirring it up thoroughly
and providing some way to let off the
water. Frequently the slope of the
ground will do this, if the trees are
not placed in mere holes. With the
ground well stirred up the waiter that
falls will not collect around the trunks
of the newly set trees, and the soil
will not he for any long time saturated
with water.
Trees should not be set too deep.
Some seem to think that the deeper a
tree is set the better, but most trees
send out their roots near the surface
of the ground. It is allowable to set
a tree one or two inches deeper than
it was in the nursery row, as the
ground is sure to settle some around
it. If a tree is properly set and if it
is in good condition at time of setting
there is no reason why It should not
live.
CABBAGE FLEA BEETLE.
Insect Which Is Destructive Not
Only of Cabbage. But Tur
nips. Etc.
The cabbage flea-beetle is found in
many states. It is particularly de
structive to cabbages, turnips, and
radishes when it is in the larval
slate; it works mainly upon th'e roots.
The beetles do considerable damage in
riddling the leaves by filling them full

Beetle.)
of holes. The adult beetle, which with
the larva is illustrated in the accom
panying cut. is abom one-tenth of an
inch long, black with two yellowish
stripes on the back which are some
times broken into four yellow spots.
The adult hibernates in sheltered
places in the field.
Bordeaux and arsenical sprays are
applied for exterminating the pest.
Where fields have been largely at
tacked during the year, it is wise to
destroy the leaves and rubbish in the
fall. By following this practice a
large number of the adults will be de
stroyed and future crops curtailed.
ORCHARD CHAT.
Seeds should not be planted deep in
clay soil.
Avoid the adulterated paris green
on the market.
Don't mix ashes with hen manure;
use land plaster instead.
Harrow or cultivate the orchard at
least three times this month.
Always have a handy knife for water
sprouts. Cut them out any time.
TRAINING THE GRAPEVINE.
Method of Handling the Varieties
Which Require Protection
in Winter.
The method used by me in training
German grape vines, writes a corre
spondent of the Rural New Yorker, is
especially important and vaulable with
German and other vines which need
winter protection. After planting a
vine we do not let more than three
shoots grow from it, tearing off all
others from time to time; the next
year (unless, what is unlikely, among
the three shoots there should be one
.. . " ^
of the thickness of the little finger)
we let two shoots grow, expecting in
the fall to have one of these two of the
required thickness. That, one is saved,
the other cut off before laying on or
into the ground, and covering with
earth, for that is what we have to do
with Vitis vinifera every fall, after the
leaves are off; pruning must, there
fore, be done in fall, as at the time
when the vines are taken out of the
ground it is too late for further prun
ing.
When we find in the fall a shoot of
the required thickness we count five
buds, beginning at a point about 12 or
15 inches from the ground, and cut
the vne off above the fifth bud (but
never cut too close to a bud); these
five buds are to give us next year five
shoots (no shoots allowed from the
ground up to a point as above), of
which the lower four are trained al
ternately to the left and right and the

top ones trained upwards (without
breaking); during the growing of these
shoots we keep the side shoots to a
length of two feet and the top one;
about three and one-half, pinching the
ends off from time to time, for the pur
pose of strengthening the buds nearest
the origin of the shoots. In fall we
count again five buds on the top one
(ignoring the first, which is usually j
weak), cutting off above the top bud
as before. These five buds give us the
next season the second series, and are
trtiined and treated the same way as

Just tell 'em that you saw it in The Journal
before; the first, lour side shoots are
cut back to the first two well-devel
oped buds in fall, < utting off all the
wood beyond the second bud. These
two buds of the side shoots are to
give us the bearing wood next year;
the shoot coming from the bud near
est the main (upright) stem we retain
by all means, whether it has grapes or
not, as that shoot gives us in the fall
at its end nearest the “upright” the
new two buds for the following year.
The shoot growing front the second
bud we only allow to grow if it bears
any grapes, as otherwise we have no
use for it, the principle of this style of
training being to keep everything as
compact as possible, both for the pur
pose of training as many together as
possible, as well as for having less
trouble in burying in the fall. Any
side shoots bearing grapes we pinch
off, leaving but two leaves beyond the
last grape.
The side shoots are trained rather
horizontally; the smaller shoots com
ing from the axils of the leaves of
these side shoots have two leaves
pinched off as soon as they have grown
three leaves in all, in order to make
these weaker shoots aid in developing
the buds for next year, whereas to
allow them to grow as they please
would be at the expense of the buds. :
Every year we add a new series on top
of tiie vines until the highest series is
nine or ten feet from the ground, de
pending somewhat on the richness ol
tiie soil and whether the vine is a !
strong grower or not. I hope i have i
made some success in making myself j
clear, it being, of course, much easier i
to demonstrate it on the vine itself; i
♦he diagrams illustrate it.
i)on’t neglect the biter spraying ap- I
plications. The man who sprays "just |
once” each season is not doing sub
ject full justice.
The best garden stun you ever ate
was that which you raised yourself.
Let no guilty weed escape in the gar
den this month. Hoe around the gar- '
den hiss, not around the weeds.
Alter the seeds of the watermelon i
have been planted, tread the soil in j
the hills very firmly. This will insure
better germination. This is also true
of most seeds.
Cultivate often; it warms the soil in
early spring, allows even light rains to
penetrate the soil and retains the
moisture for use in summer. To say 1
nothing of keeping wetds ia control. |

it your business to sleep. If
you are restless, take
