Dry sand or ashes on the dropping board will keep the droppings from freezing to it, and make the cleaning an easier job. Do not store seed corn In. barrels or boxes. It will gather moisture and mold or freeze. Do not store over the laundry or over the stable. ac-tio- . The amount of manure necessary for your garden will depend upon the condition of the soil. Poor, worn out soils will necessarily need more than rich, mellow soils. From 2 to 30 tons of manure an acre is generally very satisfactory. This means about a pound of manure to every square foot of garden space. Humus may be added to the garden soil by planting what Is known as a leguminous crop. Soy beans and vetch are excellent crops for this purpose. Such crops take nitrogen out of the air and store It In their roots. After these crops are plowed Into the soil the nitrogen is said to' be fixed and young growing plants can use It as they need It This plan of putting humus into the soil Is followed only between cropping times and cannot be successfully used to any great extent while your garden Is In action. When green crops are thus plowed or spaded Into the soil we'call it green manuring. Best Time to Commence Pruning Various Trees Alfalfa on every crop that value for should be a permanent crop farm. There is no other will return as high as acre the labor expended upon it. J Desirable Degree of Pruning Will Differ Pruning the newly set tree Is primarily for the purpose of reducing the evaporating surface of the tree until new root, growth becomes established to supply adequate water. Incidentally also, It may serve In starting a proper framework, or branching system. The degree of pruning which Is desirable differs with the species. Trees like the peach, which start new branches readily from the central trunk but the twigs of which tend to dry out badly, should be cut back most severely. Trees like the sour cherry, which does not start growth readily from the dormant buds on the older parts but which makes its new growth from the active buds near the terminals of Its branches, should be pruned least.
