OF INTEREST TOTHE FARMER, Some Suggestions on Ralsiog Boete For Stock Food. HOW TO PLANT AN ORCHARD. Different Localities Best Adapted to Different Varieties of Fruit—The Most Profitable Cows—The Manure Heap. Cultivating Beets, Wratten for The Bee. The method to be pursued in cultivat- ing beets will depend on the purpose for which the crop is grown. If grown for stock food, the main object is to pro- duce bulk; if grown for sugar, the main thing is quality, and the two objects make very different treatment neces- sary. In this article I shall treat of the beet us grown for stock food, since com- paratively few of Tik BEE'S readers are as yet interested in growing them for sugar. The soil bedt suited to growing beets is 0 well drained sandy lonm. It should be plowed deep—the decper the better —und made very fertile by liberal sup- plies of barnyard manure.. A fall plowed clover sod is & good soil for beets, but any other soil, if made rich enough, is all right. The long, red Maugel Wurzel is a popular variety of beet for stock food. This beet is u good yielder, but is diffi- cult to handle on nccount of the depth it goes into the soil and from being rather slender. The yellow Ovoid is a more satisfactory variety, as it grows mostly above ground, is thick so it does not break in handling and is a good keey The seed should be sown in driils at the rate of about five pounds of good seed to the acre. The distance apart the rows are mude 1s largely a matter of experience. Some successful beet growers plant in drilis two feet apart, using o common grain drill for sced- ing, by stopping ail hoes but the scc- ond, 1 [ eighth, I prefer the rows to Le about three feet apart. They can be v is tunce by stopping all hoes on the drill except one and five. Itis better to plant with a regu- lar garden seed drill than with the grain drill. The seed may be sown ns soon as the goil can be worked in the spring, but generally need not be sown till the middle of May. The young beet plant is small and tender, so that it will require eful cultivation for the first month of its life. It 18 necessary to go over the ground us goon as the plants appear to loosen the soil in the rows and destroy the young weeds. This work can bedone with a garden rake in many cases, better than with a ho As soon as the plants are large enough the horse cultivate can be used and must be used often to keep the soil meilow and free irom weeds. When the plants are two inches high they should be thinned to one foot wpart in rows and where the jiants are too thin extra plants should be set as the erop will depend a good deal on the eyen stand of plant; After the beets are well started cultivation is very easy and a crop of from twenty to thirty tons per acre can be expected with a good soil and favorable season. I have known cases where #3.50 per ton was readily paid for beets by stock- men who neglected to grow them for their own use, and the demand would undoubtedly justify a more general cul- tivation of the beet for u money crop when it cannot be all fed on the farm. Planting an Orchard. The most important step that the tiller of the soil can take is the plant- ing of orchards. The first thing to consider is what is most likely to suc- ceed in the planting locality, as much dependson what you plant whether you are successful or uot, saysa contrib- utor of the Nebraska rmer. The writer has an orchard of over sixty va- rieties that were planted from 1874 to 1879, and the results obtained would not be credited had we not a record of ost every varioty. The difference 0 great that it seems almost impos- ble to plant five trees of one variety and five of another in the sume row at the same time and cultivate them alike for fifteen years, One variety has not produced “one bushel of apples during this time, while the other variety pro- duced 217 bushels of apples. There- fore be careful what you plant, for u tree that will not fruitin four or five years from planting is not very profit- able. After the planter decides what to plant and how many, then prepare the soil by plowing as deep as possible; then harrow both ways until the ground 1s quito smooth, then mark one way with a corn mark and plant with a check rower the other way; this way will enable the planter to line the orchard both ways without the use of stakes. In planting dig the holes large and decp enough to admit the roots in their nat- wral position, then place finely pulver- 1zed surface soil around the roots, plac- ing each root where nature intended it 1o be placed. Use the hands to press the carth firmly about the roots until they are covered about two inches, as the danger of bruising the roots by tramping passed. Then one should tramp the earth as solid as setting a post until near the surface, say one inch. This space should be filléd with dry loose earth to prevent the sun from bak- ing the tramped soil. If trees are planted in this way there will be no loss if the trees were in good condition when travsplanted. After planting £ood cultivation 1s necessary to insure success, Cultivate your orchard as you would a corn field. Keepdown all weeds and stir the soil often and the trees will reward such treatment by a vigorous growth and early fruiting. By such treatment we have fruited apples the second year from planting, and last senson, three years after planting, we have fruited the foilowing varicties: Iixcelsior, Wine Sap, Jonuthan, (Coop- er White), (Cole’s Quince), and a few othurs. This orchard is on high prairie soil, 114 feet to water. The trees were root grafted, the scions cut from our beuring orchard., There Is no wind protection, as the wind break was planted one year after the orchard. The Cow 10 Breed. The farmer often fuils to decide right in the selection of cows. His relation to the markets are not always remem- bered in this connection. With the city or nearest railway station more than ten miles from the farm, exclusive dairying is not an inviting field for the avernge man, says the Orange Judd Parmer, In such cuse , the cow which gives a liberal quantity of milk in the autamuy or winter seasons, when butter brings the best price, and also grows u good calf for the beef market later on, ought to prove more valuable than the one adapted to only one of these pur- poses, The “'special cow,” whose steer call is of no value for develovment into first class beef, even though she be an extra butter cow, is not mf....ml to many of the stock farms. The laborer who milks Gve or six cows can, to better advantage often, also feed and care for several fat- tening steers on the same farm. The average farmer doing his own work largely, or with but one assistant, much prefers a “division of the lubor'” among cows and_steors throughout the y There is drudgery enough. at best most farms without keeping only cows | to extend it. The average Sunduy or holiday reminds the farmer quite forei- bly of this difficulty. The village dairyman finds the “spe- cial cow” all right. His farm is *‘at the end of the city or village sidewalk.” It is but ten minutes work to deliver his fresh butter in market. In many cases milk and cream (even buttermilk) can be sold at immense prices. With less than a score of cows h n do his own work, and of course he can well ignore the “‘steer business.” Such situations invite the ownership and use of the cow considered only for her milk produc- tion. On a large scale (with 100 or more cows) the exclusive dairy use of such cows is prac ble some distance from market. In large quantities the farm wagon can take butter to o distant sta- tion, and it can be shipped half way ‘‘across the continent” ata moderate freight charge. Whichever class of cows is sought, tho man who breeds them should remember that the best sire for the desired purpose isof almost incaleulable value, **Blood tells™ along all lines. Dams of coming *‘greatones” must be very superior, The Manure Heap. The character and consequent vaiue of manure is greatly improved by its management during the winter. The roads are then usually in good condi- tion and market gardeners in ty of large cities av mselves good wheeling” they afford to haul their supplies from the city stables. Sutcessful 1 ot gardeners use manure with a free hand, that would make the old style tinning" farfmer think the man out of his senses. Fifty to one hundred tons of maunure are applied to the ac And this be: cause it pays, while some crops, unless s0 heavily fertilized, s raised ata loss. Noi only are I quantities used, but the quality is vastly superior to that to which farm crops are too often trested. When th manure reaches the garden the work of pre- paring for use begins. When crude stable manure is placed in a heap, f fhentation soon begins; heat is gener ated in the operation, which not only alters the.mechanical condition of the manure, but renders its con- stituents more soluble and avail- able for the plants. But the proper condition of the manure is greatly influenced by the external tem- veratuve. If the heaps are small and the weather continuously cold, the tem- perature of the manure may be so low- ered as to check fermentation, and even to freeze 1t. This trouble may be avoided by making the heaps so large that fermentation will keep them suf- ficiently warm. On the other hand, the fermentation may go on so violently that the heat is so great asto practically burn the manure. In this condition. “fire-fanged.” as it is calied, the man- ure is greatly injured, or quite value- wccording to the extent to which the fire-fanging has gone. One of the ite losses from overheating is that of nitrogen, in the form of am- monia, in volatile form, usually per- ceived by the sense of smell. Loss b, overheating may be prevented by wking down the pile and building another, bringing the manure that was at the outside of the pile to the interior, and vice verss. Whenever *the pile smokes,” as gardners , when- ever ible ~ clouds of vapor issue from the heup, the pile is turned, and this may require to be done several times, until the action 1s s0 moderated as 1 be no longer danger- ous. Fermentation greatly reduces the bulk of the manure, and if, when the heap is turned. care be taken to break up all lumps by a blow with the fork, or shaking out all littery masses, grea- benefit will result trom this mechanit cal operation, and the manure. by the time it is needed for application, will be of a quality seldom seen outside of market gardens. However valuable the various kinds of artificial manures may be, and some of them are of great value to the market gardencr, it is al best to suvplement their action with stable manure, which is the most complete and the most lasting, Successful gar- deming is hardly possible without an abundant supply of this stand-by.
