In planting a peach orchard It Is well to set the tree* 16 or 20 feet apart each way. One acre set 18 feet will require 134 trees, while at 20 feet only 108 will be required. The land for a peach orchard should be well drained so that water win not stand on or near the surface. The soil should be well cultivated before tbe trees are set and the places where they ore to stand thoroughly dug up for a space of three or four feet A little bone meal, about one pint worked Into the soli for each tree Is advisable. Do not set the trees too deep and.be careful to spread the roots and firm the soil well among them. Pouring In a pall of water when the hole has been half-filled will serve to settle the soil about the roots, besides giving the moisture needed by the tree. After It has settled sway flu up the hole and cover with leaves or straw for a mulch. Before transplanting always cut bock severely all of the branches and the top of the main stalk should be taken off. Train the tree by pitching off the ends of the new growth occasionally during the first season, If they do not ncem to be growing compact enough to make a well-formed head. After the tree begin* to show new growth apply the fertiliser, which may be one of the commercial fertilizers for growth (not for fruit) «• It may be ashes arfd'cottonseed meal or well-rotted stable manure. The mulch may be used again after the trees have been fertilised, and will serve to keep the soil jpolsL Peach orchards should be well cultivated during the growing season. Borers are sometimes troublesome, but if care U taken to pull the dirt up around the tree early In the season ana allow It to remain until quite late In the fall. then level It off until the nez there will be very little damage by them. Each year during the winter tbe trees should be pruned, cutting back about one-third of the new growth.
