II is necessary to introduce the bone Just through holes in the ground near the roots of the tree, wh'le the ashea may be sprinkled over the top surface of the earth.

Lengthen the line for each circle continuing until the last circle ;s sixteen or eighteen feet from the tree Make holes about four inches deep and a foot apart on f each circle, and put about a gill of bone dust in each hole. The remedy . is sure to revive old trees, increasing their bearing and lengthen ing their lives-for many-years. . ? From recent experiments it 1 as Ijen determined : that 'fruit is not likely to keep if it is forced in growth. The i-p- ple dealer has been instructed to T&tch the fruit he handles more carefully, nd to' sell it relatvely earlier In the sea- on if it nan been -grown in rank-grow rag young trees. Apple scald, one of the worst trouble with some of the va rieties, may be praetieally controlled jy letting the fruit reach the srage of aar j ripeness on the tree,, and storing t quickly after picking in a tempera .ure; of not over 3a degrees Fahrenheit inj by selling relatively earlier in the easou the -varieties likely, to scald. Fruit is injured by rough handling to a far gi eater extent than the grower or f ru:tmen suppose, nearly : all rot start ing with the broken skin or bruised pots on. the fruit.!: Experimenters at the department of agriculture have de mohstiateJ that the . ripening process and the development of rots must be cheeked by eooling the fruit as sooh as it Is picked.
