What a pity it is that grapes will not keep longer. Every autumn I place In a department of my house cellar, where there is no artificial heat, baskets ot various varieties of grapes, eays a writer in Green's Fruit Grower. I do not ejtpect the Worden, Concord. Delaware and Niagara to keep long, therefore I consume them first. After these I consume the Brighton, which Is a fairly good keeper, but which shrivels up considerably. Barry has kept well with me this season.

In planting a peach orchard the ground should be plowed deep, followed with a sub-soi- l plow in the same furrow, the deeper the ground Is broken up the better. Before planting, It la of the utmost Importance to examine the shoots of the young trees for the borer. Generally nurserymen send out poach trees without taking out the borer. A tree planted with a borer In It Is sure to die In a few years, very often In its third year after planting. It puts the beginner In the uncertainty to know what is the cause ot the death of bis trees. They often look as if they were suffering with ths yellows, while It Is the borer killing the tree. Two years ago we had three trees that to all appearance had the true yellows. When taking out the trees we found two and three borers In the crotch of the roots where it was Impossible to see any signs of a borer. The trees should be examined every spring and fall, and the borer taken out with the knife. A peach orchard should be started low. The young trees should be cut back when planted from IS to 24 inches with not a side branch on them. They will put out side branches and make a low, bushy tree for five or six years. After that, they become large and high, bearing fruit almost from the ground to the top of th tree. For the first three years, the new wood should be cut back from a . After that it rethird to quires not so much cutting back. Only where a leading branch takes posses sion of the entire growth such a leader should be cut back on a level with the head of the tree. All the dead wood should be taken out after each crop. one-half- r THE FIGHTING the tree, sometimes, especially In tne case of young trees, almost entirely girdling them, thus ruining the trees. The methods of fighting both round and flat headed borers are much the same. Two or three methods are available for making the control of borers more easy. In case of older trees, probably the most Important method Is by mounding, that Is heaping up a little mound of earth around the base of the tree. This forces the Insect to deposit Its eggs higher on the tree so that the worm will be located higher. It Is much easier to level this mound of earth down around the tree to find the borer than to have to dig away the soil when it Is left level. However, mounding may not be practicable In very stony land. In case of ot;::ger trees, the best method Is to wrap them with a wood veneer wrapper. And mound a very small amount of earth around these wrappers. This makes It very difficult for the parent of the borer to get Its eggs deposited In the trunk of the tree. In sections here the borers are rather numerous, while th's practice of wrapping should he followed. It should not be wholly depended upon, but the examining for the borer should also be If the wooden wrappers done. are used It may be necessary to spray Wood Used Should Be Thoroughly Waterproofed to Prevent Branches From Forming.

Soon the walk Is cluttered with them and the passersby, catching the spirit of the tree, smile at the children gathering 'round. A light snow Is falling and the green of the spruce Is Inviting, to say nothing of the reason It has come to town. What a lot of Christmas trees the grocer has ordered and yet how few compared to the many thousands that grow in Christmas Tree Land, away op north. Up there the woods are full of Christmas trees and the snows are to deep that snowshoes may be necessary. And In Christmas Tree Land there are vast stretches of nothing but evergreen trees and white snow snd In the snow. If you are versed In woodcraft, yon might find the track of a deer and innumerable trails of Rrer lUhtt. leading away through the preen ery to tfe quiet, vast places. Probably you pay $1 or more for a Christmas tree. Up north they are free, but the hardy men who gather them must wade In the deep snow and draw them many miles to the railroad that they nay be shipped to the little boys and girls of the city. And as you sit beside your tree, with your heart glad and your spirits Kay, you n.lght ponder on how that tree got to you.
