Cold Frame with Picket Fence for Background. These latter should run from the ridgepole to the top of the side plank. Provide a cover of cheesecloth sewn together, large enough to cover the whole structure, and to lap well over ends and side plank. Tack It in the center of the ridgepole and to the edges tack light poles the length of the frame, so the cloth can be rolled up to the center. Spade the ground in the frame good and deep, work In a lot of well rotted manure and have fine and level. You are now ready for the plants. A simpler cold frame can be made by placing it along the south side of a picket fence. In this case the matter of construction is greatly simplithe illustration shows one of fied, this kind.

In bright, warm weather, roll up the cover during the daytime. As the plants approach the time for setting in the field, give more air, and for a week before setting withhold water. On warm nights leave the cover up so as to harden them. The plants should not be placed In the field until all danger of frost Is over. me-dow- n . Fitful Poetic Fire.

The best soil, without dobut, is a porous clay loam verging toward a sandy texture, such as originally grew maple, elm, linden and beech timber, although many times pine timbered land Is equally good. My experience has led me to believe that lime soils are essential. Orchards should be elevated above the surrounding country or rolling, to give sufficient air and soil drainage. Right here I want to say that I consider air drainage, either by elevation or slope uf site, to be very important, as bearing on blight and other fungus diseases. However, we have some orchards on comparatively level sites that are made fairly well. I have made some experiments In tile draining heavy clay land and do not think It of much value, for If you put your tile very deep, the water will not get to It. and If shullow, the roots from the trees will soon clog them comof besides, the danger pletely; frost wrecking them. Right here I expect to strike trouble, as every grower whom I on the subject have approached has some choice variety, and no two anywhere nearly agree. Every successful grower must and will be governed by what succeeds In his locality and particular soli.' Cultivation In some way Is absolutely necessary, either without other crop or with some hoe crop. I have usually used the latter. Have lately been planting squushes In such manner as will least Interfere with cultivation, as I find two horses most convenient and economical. What tools? I do not think that Important as long as you cultivate. comI never have used the bination of cultivation and mulch system. As I have seen It practiced. It seems to me to be a sort of lazy man's excus or poor cultivation. Spraying is practiced by a few of our larger growers. Others do not think It would pay, while others sin-pl- y neglect It. As a general thing the newer sections have less need of spraying, yet In all places thinning of fruit Is abundantly repaid by the Increase In size, quality and quantity, to say nothing of the conservation of vitality of the tree. Selling at the best advantage Is sometimes as much of an art as producing. Ordinarily there Is a large home demand. If not at picking time, I have kept within two months.
