I 't : . . ( t Re-'roppln ! ) Sweet Apple Trees. j A correspondent recently sent to the Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta- ion the following questions which I were answered by Professor W. 1\1. " Munson as below : "Can sweet apple trees be successfully - , fully grafted ? Will It pay to re.top I\ _ large sweet apple tree , a foot or more - In diameter ? Should an orchard of 100 trees be all of one variety ? " It Is very doubtful if the flavor or the fruit has any relation to the value ; of a given tree for purpo \ } mss of graCl- , - lug. Toman ! Sweet is i often used as a . -r- basis for top-worltlng. Apple trees up to a foot In diameter may be top-womed If ! unsatisfactory. Care , however , shotld be used that too much of the top Is not removed In anyone yeur. Cut ofT about one-third of the top the first year and insert scions on stubs not more than two or r three inches in diameter. The next \ year remove more of the top and In- I sort other clans , and the following , I year complete the work. ! It Is not advisable to plant a solid , block of 100 trees of one variety un- less there are other trees In the Immediate - mediate viclnit ) ' . Some varieties are , I self.fertlle , and will give satisfactory \ results If planted alone ; but It. Is always - } ways safer to provIde for cross fertlll- " I zatlon. In large orchards every third Per P or fourth row should be of a different variety. Two or three varieties are , Y enough for a commercial orchard , how- 1 : ever , and It Is seldom advisable to plant more. I , : Modern Methods In the Orchard. ' \ Modern methods are entirely adapt- E ed to the farm orchard , and If applied ! will insure good crops and annual , . ones , If the process Is begun while the trees are ) 'otmg. There arc those that declare that these advanced methods are useful In the great commercial orchards - ( chards of the country , hut are not useful - fnl In ! the family orchard or In the ' commercial orchard of the small farm- , 4i ! er. It is true that it If = pore difficult , to do things In a small way than In a large way , and that the per tree cost of cultivating , spraying and pruning Is greater. But even then a large mar- gin of profit Is loft. The man with a family orchard has the advantage over the big orchardist In that he gets a better rate for his fruit , as he sells it to himself and docs not have to re- . duce the price to offset railroad charges and commissions for handling and profits in s011lng. A small spray- Ing outfit can be purchased at a low cost , and its use may make a differ- once sometimes of $25 to $ fiO on an acre of apple trees. Cultivation and i pruning cost not much mora propor- i tlonatel in the small orchard than In I the large one. The growing of a coyer - , ' ! OJ' crop each fall will protect the roots"j " of the trees In the family orchard as 1 well as In the large commercial or- chard. . Ii i I In n recent address Professor Pear- son told of examIning four lots of t _ milk that had been held ] at tempera- t tares of 45 , 50 , fi5 and GO degrees for . ! twentyfour hours. They contained . . . the following numbers of bacteria at the end or that time : 445 , 3,100 , 67,000 , and 134,000 , the quantities of milk be- ' Ing the same. The bacterial content at the beginning of the twenty-four hours was the same. ' It will pay well to give more attention - Lion than Is ! done on the average farm to the preservation of barnyard ma- - nitre , first by guarding it from the sources of loss that occur In the , ordl- nay open barnyard , and , second , by ' treating it wIth materials calculated to reduce the losses from escaping ammonia the one band , and to In. crease Its content of phosphoric acid on th ® other.-Ohlo StnUoD ,
