In plowing among apple trees a ' great difference is noticeable between those thoroughly cultivated and those . neglected a few years, as to the posi­ . tion of their roots. The orchard plowed every year has most of its feeding roots just below reach of the , plow. That left in grass rune its feed­ ing roots nearer the surface, and the 1 plow necessarily destroys a great many. ' This does not injure them much while the tree is dormant. As soon as the leaves appear the destruction of the roots by plowing or by anything else is a great check to the vitality of the tree. The first brood of larvae of the elm­ . leaf beetle will appear in June. Timely application of Paris green or London purple in water, sprayed over and amoDg the foliage of the trees will destroy this pest. But the spray will leave some poison on the grass, The poisoned trees need not be in a r _, par ture lot nor around the dwelling house, to be a source of danger. If there is 1 the least possible chance of uorBes, cows, sheep or other animals grazing about them, or of children playing there, the greatest caution should be observed iu using arsenites. It is conceded by those who have given the^ subject careful attention that a turn with the roller will save the ploughed ground at least one bar rowing. Then after the orop is planted it comes in for a rolliug to the level surface and press the soil firmly about the seed. The harrow and cul­ tivator wld run easier and do less dam »go for buying been preceded by the roller. The meadows, especially, should be rolled before the soil be­ comes too dry. Let the driver collect in his box all loose stones large enough to be seen; the small ones will be pressed into the ground so that the mowing knife will miss them. Don’t forget to.yse the barrow. Use it early and often. Use it to get the •surface in good condition for plan ting. Use it to stir the surface after the crop is planted. With fine steel teeth -lanling back it will run smooth, slic­ ing the furrows without tearing them up or lurnin^Qjem over. After the corn and potatoes are planted takeout one or two of the middle teeth and you can des1 roy the weeds two row, at a time. Repeat the 'operation at right angles with the corn when it is coming up and again when two inches high, and the most important work­ ings are over, for you have kept the weeds at bay and given the corn a chance to get the start of its worst enemies. va. »wmSit*- fsions on die ultra Tashiona'l'li ■“n,on»bl« avemZ Ip this «ty every year an avenio~5 abbutSOO Unfortunate infanta are j an? pick«i up In aril barrels.
