CUTTING BACK PKTJIT TREES.
fied that if they had followed his advice
they would have found it good. He
applied the cutt ing back particularly to
the peach tree.. ..
. In the spring of JL892 I superintended
the setting1 out of about 14 acres of or
chard on the experiment station farm
at Wooster. Thk? was a variety orchard
with a vengeance, such as no private
individual would care about planting,
containing over 800 kinds of the differ
ent fruits. The trees came from many
parts of the United States, and coming
at different times, they were not in as
good shape as if they had all been
bought at one place, yet by severe cut
ting back the per cent, of lose was small.
J1 remember particularly the apple
trees, which w e cut back in very much
the manner shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.
and all other trees were1 cut back nearly
as much. The season started out very
wet, but got very dry before the mid
dle, of the summer. . This experience
showed me that not only the peach tree
was benefited by a severe pruning at
the time of transplanting, but all other
fruit trees as well.
In the spring of 1896 I spent nearly
the entire months of April and May in
planting trees on the grounds of the
Ohio State university. There were no
fruit trees, but a large collection of
hade and ornamental trees and shrubs.
The seasasi was unusually favorable for
the growth of trees, yet in looking-them
over at the end of the season I find that
those cut back severely have done the
best. .While they may have looked rather
bad to start with, they have more than
made up the difference by their good j
grpwtn "iter, on. About 150 shade
.trees were planted out very late so late
ihat't bad my doubt if any would grow.
The' leaves were, out to full size, and
they had made quite a growth of wood,
but by "cutting them back ; severely,
with the favorable season, nearly every
pie lived..' .
While" the proper cutting back of a
tree at transplanting time may not be
the most ' important point,' yet I be
lieve it to be he one to be most insist
ed on", because it is the one moist likely
to beneglected. It .seems rather hard
when we buy a tree, to cut away the
part we most want, but could we see
the' roots asthey " are iti the soil, and
compare them as they usually come to
us, we could see a better reason for cut
ting back in theeame manner. I do not
"think "Figs. 1 and 2 exaggerate this
point. E. C. Greea, in Ohio Farmer.

LOCATING AN ORCHARD.
Why Trait Trees Should Be Planted on
. .. Good Sell. -.
"You won't plant trees on that nice
ground," send the visitor, when told, in
being shown over the premises, that ar
rangements, were in, progress lor set
ting out a new orchard there.
"Why not? was the reply. -'
"Because the surface lies well and the
soil is good for any of the crops most
generally raised."
"Those, are two of the reasons wby I
selected it. The soil is good, the loca
tion is elevated, but not too high, the
surface is nearly level, so thai the trees
can be cultivated as of ten as necessary
without danger of washing, and there is
sufficient drainage so that water will
pass off is a short time, after tftxe rain
ceases."
It is surprising that some people
think an orchard should be planted on
land not fit for mudh else. True, such
land can often be made more profitable
in fruit of same kind than' in raising
grain or grass. But it does not follow
that an orchard wall not be a good in
vestment on good land. Such persons
have never calculated the cost the
greatly lessened cost, rather in grow
ing fruit as compared with other prod
ucts, in a series of years. . If they did
'they, would find that, under fair condi
tions, the orchard is the most profitable
piece of land of that size on the farm.

How to Secure a Good Avexsge Price the
. Tear Round. .
'-.There is arcely any farm butter
maker having a reputation for making
a good article and living within -a few
miles of an ordinary western country
town who cannot find a regular cus
tomer or customers who will take but
ter the year around at a good price
which will be a": good 'round average
price for the year. says the Homestead.
All that is necessary to make contract
ing of this kind easy is that the butter
maker establish a record for having
"everything nice and clean, and for pro
ducing a qualitythat is both good and
uniform. -The price that can be secured
in this way -is always considerably bet
teV than the ordinary way of selling tc
the grocer, or store keeper. As a prac
tical question, it is subject to only one
drawback, -and that is from the side o!
the customer. ; We have known a good
many town people who contracted for
their butter this'way and a very com
mon complaint, among them was that
they always 'get their, butter if the
price to be paid was a little bet ter than
the stores and groceries were paying,
but when, with the change of the sea
son, the price rose until the storekeeper
or grocer was paying a little above the
agreed average price, the butter maker
very commonly reported that the cow?
were failing and he did not have any
butter to deliver under the contract.
Of course, if one practices this spec:es
of dishonesty he will find it difficult to
make contracts of this kltid for regular
delivery, and a reputation not only for
cleanliness and good uniform quality
is necessary, but also a reputation for
strictly carrying out contracts as made.
BACILLUS NO. 41.
It Is Needed in the Production 'of Really
First-Clans Batter.
It was a person who came f rem Den
mark who first advanced the startling
theory that microbes are required to
make first-class butter. This theory,
which was received with scorn, is now
advocated by many scientific men, and
many creameries now invest money in
the "culture." In Iowa 28 creameries
are using it. Experiments have been
made with over 100 different kinds of
germs, but it was not until No. 41 war
discovered that satisfactory results
were reach edi A conclusive trial was
recently made in a Connecticut cream
ery. June butter, as is well known, is
in flavor the best produced during the
year, so that the effect of bacillus No.
41 upon pure butter was most interest
ing. Early in the month two large
vats of cream were collected. One of
these was inoculated; the other was
not. They stood in the same room, at
the same temperature, for the same
length of time, and were subsequently
churned. Both lots of cream produced
excellent butter, but No. 41 had a taste
and odor decidedly superior to that
made without it.. A large number of
persons tasted it, and no one hesitated
in deciding that No. 41 made the su
perior quality.
The first attempt at an estimate at
bacteria in butter was made in Mu
nich in 1891. It was found that there
are about 2,000,000 in a grain. Chicago

NEAT FEEDING DEVICE.
One Should Be Introduced Wherever .
Calves and Sheep Are Kept. j
An excellent plan for feeding sheepor
calves is shown herewith. The front of
the pen is hinged along as much of the
length as is needed, in the manner
shown in the cut. Behind these hinged
FOR FEEDING CALVES OR SHEEP.
I
doors are slats, both to keert the hav I
, ,
from falling into the pen at feeding
time, and to keep the sheep or calves in
place and from attempting to clamber
up over the door. Hay placed between
the door and the slats falls down as
fast as it is eaten. With such a device
in use, lambs cannot readily get into
the hay, nor can they come out into the
feeding floor, as they do in the average
barn. After the ration has been eaten
the doors can be closed. N. Y. Tribune.
OAfRY SUGGESTIONS.
While feed is as necessary as breed
no amount of feed will make a good
milker out of a cow that is not so natur
ally. The beginning in the dairy business
should begin with one or two good
cows, and increase the number gradr
.ually. "v"
These cold mornings the cows' teats
should be handled carefully. Vaseline
is excellent for scratched or chapped
teats.
' The so-called butter increase rs black
pepsin, for instance are frauds. They
do not increase the amount of bitter i
fat, but only serve to unite the butter
fat and casein. ' -
An English paper says that a chemist
has discovered a process by whieh
cheese can be used as a substitute for
marble for the purpose of sculpture. It
is claimed that it is superior to marble,
since it can be made flawless, cufeasily,
and then hardened so as to be durable
as granite. It is also claimed that
cheese can be so manipulated as to be
come a capital substitute for ivory and
celluloid.
" Maintaining a Reputation.
The dairymant who has built up a
steady demand for his butter must
work just about as hard to keep that de
mand in a healthy condition as he did
to secure it in the first place. If by
some misfortune a batch of butter is in
ferior to ' that usually made,' it should
never be sent to regular - customers.
Sell it on the market without calling
attention to the name of the person who
made it. Let it bring what it is worth.
