De Loach, Director of Georgia Experiment Station. I - FERTILIZERS AND HORTICULTURE. The Fifth of a Series of Six Articles. Tae fruit- and vegetable growers are always leaders in the use of plant leads for their crops. This is especially true of the vegetable growers. What they wish is rapid growth In their produce, so that they will get the vege tables en the market in the shortest possible time from the time. of planting. This is the secret of success with vegetables, and the only way to meet such conditiens is to apply fertilizers in large quantities. In the next paper we *all telT about the 'home garden" and how to fertilize it. In the present Faer-*. are to t ll more particularly about fruit trees and other horticultural The reaation at apple growing to fertilisers has never been very carefully worked out We knew that the ube of fertilizers with fruit trees, and tbpecially-appls, pays, but we have not yet worked out the best formulas far the various kinds of trees, nor the. amounts which pay best. Brisbin says, aO i& book an '"Trees and Tree Planting," that in planting young trees large Cinuties-of manure should be used in preparing the place for planting. These manures should be rich In ptant food elements If the trees are ex peted ta make rapid gowth, The best way to increase the plant food in asnures is to add to the manures the mineral elements in various forms, and mix with leag mold and manures. Brisbin also recommends that weeds ahuM adt be allowed to grow around the apple trees, as they will take up theplant food which is put down for young trees. 'The best method of perdecing fruit is to keep the Seld or orchard clean by Sowi-- oter a which require constant attantlon and cultivati on. Most haesand hoitlcvltuirists fertas the craps that grow in the orchard, and ga this way save the empense otierlimsing the fruit trees again. In many instnes legumses are grown as- a ever crop, and. incidentally, to furnish attrogen. The orchar4 eannot be cultivated too deeply, or injury will result. It needs to be cultivated shallow, and rhanures or fertilizers applied in geesonable quantites. While It Is necessary to put fertiiers near the trunk ett the tree, Yet the roots scatter pretty well over an orchard, and the plant tood that happens to fanl further away f'om the trunk Is not lost. 'A large-erop of apples or peaches -takes from the soil much plant food,2 such as-nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid, and unless this i supplied from time to tine, -the trees will prove less fruitful and inaiy bear very little trait, and what they do bear will be of poor quality. The argument that old tree. in pastures bear good fruit Is not souad, becae conditions prevail in anany Isolated places this way that cannot be duplicated In the orchard. May times It is the natural leaf mold, woods earth, droppings from animals and other materials carrying available plant food that make the fruit on auch trees.. Besides, such fruit, is rarely ever as exenent and delicious as that grown in a well-kept orchard. .Fruit, like all other. kinds of field and garden erops, must be forced mor, or less to measure up to a high standard. 'To tore. the fruit, and- at the same time keep the land fertile, we must apply to. the-sonl as .much fertilizer as the crop takes from ft. Fruit trees. demand in their growth a. fertiier rather rich in potash and ,hosphoric acid, but not very rich In nitrogen. It was found that the citrus trees In California at the Riverside Esperiment Station grew better fruit and did better .very way with a oomplete fertilizer than with any single plant' good element, or any incomplete combination. It was also found that the asid.requiremnts of these trees were more completely 'supplied with sul pbate of ammonia than from -any other nitrogen sourue. Many of the esxpeimnent stations have secured good results from fertilizing orchards. but non quite-so good as the Ohio station. F. H. Baflon, In charge of work with apples,. says: .t "To som up the results in increased fruit production from the use of gemeia3. fertilizers on the very thin orchard land in southeastern Ohio, tak Ing into consideration all our different plots at the various places covering - 4 miles of country, we have the following: Average per acre, per year fertilized, 100 barrels. Averge per acre, per year unfertiied, 44 barrels. Glain par acre, per year, from fetilization, 56 barrels. Cost of gain per barrel, per year, 17.8 cents. .This is the strongest endorsement for the use of commercial fertilizers- in orchards that we have yet seen, and shows how It Is possible to increase the incomes from an orchard by the wise use of the proper kinds of fertilizers. *Prof. Maurice A. Blake of the New yersey Experiment Station recommends en appllcation of 450 pounds of fertilizer per acre with peaches. Prof. Starnes -of the Georgia Experiment Station tried many formulas at the Georgia Station several years ago on peaches, and found that in every case the fertilizers - Wueover' You Need a General Tonic Take Grove's TeOld Standard Grove's Tasteless Genera!

The style of package in which but :er is offered for sale depends largely mn the market, the amount of butter nan'ifactured and the frequency with which it is sold. The old way of mold :ng farm butter in cakes, balls and rolls is unsanitary and out of date, mnd a neater form of package is now ised in Its stead. The style of pack age has much to do with the sale and )rice of butter and on this account it s given much attention. When butter is made on a small cale on the farm, earthen crocks are >ften used and give good satisfaction. ['hey are often objected to on ac :ount of the weight and the ease with which they are broken during trans ortation. When viewed from the standpoint of the keeping quality of >utter there is possibly no container hat equals the earthen ciock. In new of this fact it is the best to use when the butter is made for home use. Wooden tubs and boxes are used or packing butter. The tubs are of lifferent sizes, 10-pound, 20-pound, 30 ?ound and 60-pound; the boxes are isually all of the latter size. These, iowever, are only suitable for the arger dairies. When used they should )e lined with parchment paper after >oth have been thoroughly soaked and steamed. Parchment paper cut to fit he package is commonly furnished with the tub or box. For the home dairy one-pound prints r bricks of butter are coming more tad more into favor. Each print or rick of butter should be neatly rapped in parchment paper. The sarchment paper may be plain, but nore often, the butter maker has some distinctive design on it. This atter is the best form in which to but up butter if supplying to a special rade. It is only advisable, however, ; put up butter of the best quality n pound prints. AGON WITH SLED RUNNERS 'our Wheels and Runners May Be Raised or Lowered Together, or in Pairs, as Desired.
