Dryness is * mon Important factor to be considered to the selectk site for the poultry bonze. Dai Is one of the greatest enemies of poultry. The soU on which the bo nee la built should hare good drainage. This may be obtained by selecting high ground or soil that Is sandy or of light

gravel.

A high lodtlod la desirable In winter also because of the air drainage. The cold atr flows into low placed and causes frozen combs and toes to poultry wintering there.

To use a cheap grade of spraying material Is poor ecooociy. write* F. .A. Ixwtoe In the Orange Judd Farmer. For several years 1 have used lime sub phnr with more or leas success. Last year I decided to try the eoluble sulphur compound and found K Is much better to handle and the results from spraying were Improved. Orchard# that had not responded resllly to former treatment Were In much better shape after a whiter spraying with soluble sulphur compound. The winter apray tor fungus should be put on l>efore the buds start In the spring. This Is the most important spraying of all, for to an orchard la badiy Infected with fungus no amount of summer spraying will give good fnilt, while an orchaYd given a thorough treatment of wtttei spfhy will give a crop of fruit to fair condition without any other treatmsstt. But to you wish to be sore of getting first class apples the winter spray should 1* followed by anofhrt- later on when the blossoms begin to fall, and perhaps more spraying liter in the season

might be desirable.

limns and peaches need several summer sprays to keep down the rot Home form of arsenate of lead should t«o used with th« spray at the time the blossoms begin to fall, as this will largely do away kith wormy rtrhlt 1 by; raised several hundred bushels ■<T cherries during the last few years. oD**»>y giving tfce.fi a thorough spraying wth.'true sulphur and arsenate of lead Just as tin. blossoms fall, hare never be*u troubled **ltb wormy char-rb-s, only on the tops <J. high tpMA ' where the spray did not reach. 'Cherries should have at least three sprayings, the first when (he hloesoms fall, 'he second two weeks later and the third after the fruh Is gathered. To get the right results an orchard should be thoroughly trimmed, all sprout* and dead lesrea cut out, and enough branches taken out to give the sunlight and air free access to the center of the tree. For fruit, to be good, moat have snnllght and alf.

Prune the Orchard.

Fruit growers do not need to wait until spring to prune their orchards, says W. <1 Briei ley of the division of horticulture. Minnesota Agricultural college. Results at L’nivenltv farm show little or no difference In the growth and maturity of the wood " here pruning has been done any time between November and May.
