properly graded and leveled for irrigation as this cannot bo done after tho the trees are once planted taken stakes should be placed at the points where the trees are to be planted so that they thoy may bo be in straight lines both wa ways a furrow for tho water should then be run at about two and one half feet from the rows of stakes so that a stream ma bo be run rundown down the lineas line as the trees tree sare are planted As each tree la is planted a email small ditch is its made round it so that tho the water v w ill soak into the dry liole hole dug without touching the stem u of the

in good results have been obtained up to the of june care must be taken to plant out at a time wlm water anter may be relied upon when planting and alao also for a second irrigation two or three weeke weeks later for apples and peaches the rows should be not leba au than twenty four feet apart and the trees twenty one feet in the row which will give eighty six trees to the acre for plums and pru pounee ties the rows twenty one feet apart and the ti hiees ees eighteen feet let in the row giving trees to tho the acre quinces and pears may be set in kovs eighteen feet apart and arid the trees fifteen feet apart in the row which will make trees to an acre the holes should be dug not lesa less than three or four feet square four feet across and two and a half feet deep take some of the fine surface mould and fill in the center of the hole forming a gaall mound at the bottom of the hole si e that when the tree is planted it will stand two indies inches deeper than it stood in the nursery the roote roots of every tree should be examined before I 1 heeling in ili or planting all large root ends should have a clean cut with a sharp knife make a slanting cut with the cut surface on the under side of the root IN V here a root is or mangled it should be cut back to a sound place spread out the roote roots with a downward fAnd onry then lit aa man hold the tree in ili its position and gently raise it so ae an to leave the roots slanting downwards while another filla fills in ili the earth do not put rough clods near the roots take good fine surface soil oil for this purpose aud any

tho wind and shade the atun from the run just after planting cut baal tho the tree to fifteen to inches or say about aneo high always observing that thore thure is a bud bull just below tile point of cutting apple applen should be beaded headed a little higher or bay say three feet high II 11 is well in pla planting young trees to wt set them ont so that the wound mado by the nurseryman in cutting away aay the seedling abbie 1 tho bud should be at the north or northeast lu tu order that this weak point may be shaded as much as is possible from the afternoon sun newly boet trees should bo be protected against sun pun burn there is nothing easier than to push a slat three feet long and eix six inches wide into the ground ao so that its shadow will shadi the stem of the tree from the afternoon sun or an old barrel stave will answer the same purpose ArC american rican beef thirty years ago when the lation wae was one half what it is to now sic scarcely arcely any american beef was
