That is only an J illustration, tbe principle applies as well ■ to tbe scythe, the cultivator and the Orchards generally produce fall crops [ only every other year. This Is' because f the full crop of one year so exhausts the 1 fruit producing qualities of the soil that " It Is not able to produce a full crop the J next year. Give It a good supply of the n proper kind of manure and thus npkc a qualities of the soli, and you may expect lj good crops every year, provided ydn -j, treat your trees properly In other rc- c A practical farmer, who burns both J coal and wood in different stoves, makes n a practice of mixing the ashes and a|>- 1 plying all on his young orchard in the ]' spring. He believes that the potash of \. the wood ashes is effective in small r quantities, and that In addition to the coal ashes nudres the latter much more b absorptive of ammonia or nitric acid a from the atmosphere. As loon oi the winter shall have be- " gun mulch the strawberries, and do not £ over the exposed vines. If anly a imall number be grown for a family supply the work of mulching qin lie easily ■ done. Leaves, straw, coarse litter fro.n the stable, or even cornstalks, will an- 1 awer If plenty of the mulch be used. Trimming an apple tree does not J tuuUiark awav'withax and raw°3mply ' s trimmed, and no limbs removed except ' sueh as msy benefit tree by being cut " off. Where a limb has commenced to ' decay it should be removed, how ever, as it may be caused bv disease.

But when you sour it you change '' tbe sugar of milk into lactic add. and lose nearly half the entire value of your a milk. Feed milk sweet to calves and w pigs and colts.
