It is often the case that trees are neglected so.much that unthrifty and unprofitable, if they do not cease entirely to bear fruit. With a very old tree very little in tho way of renovating can be done with anything like permanent benefit. Bat with young1 trees that have simply been neglected a very decided benefit can be secured. Of course, if this is done it is necessary to do thorough work. Generally the longer a tree has been neglected the longer time will be required to restore it.

i One of the first things to do is to prune thoroughly, cutting out all diseased or dead wood at least, and as much of the other growth, as may seem necessary. No set rules can be given as to the extent of pruning that should bo given, as the soil in which tho tree is growing, as well as the growth or thrift of the tree, must be considered. The pruning should be done reasonably early in the winter, at least before the wood freezes. The wood should all be gathered up and burned, as in this way disease germs and iniurious insects may be destroyed. The ground should be thoroughly plowed, taking care to.t plow shallow near the trees so as not to injure the roots.

It is often the case that one of the principal reasons, if not tho sole of the trees failing to make a thrifty growth and bear good crops of fruit is public school teachers, on last tices he gives to von and your town.

Almost any kind of manure can be used with benefit, but the advantage ha using well-rotted manure is that the effect will be realized sooner, as it is in a more available condition, or at least a good portion of it With trees, as with other plants, the fertilizer, to be available, must be soluble, and a larger proportion of well-rotted manure is in this condition better than if applied fresh. The principal advantage in using salt is that it helps to make plant food that is in the soil available.

When feeding economically, the disposition of the animals must be considered. To a considerable extent tho rations must vary with the age of the animals and the object in view in feeding. Some animals fatten reudily, while others seemingly under the best of treatment make a slow gain. An animal that fattens easily is usually healthy, strong, and of an easy temperament, rarely frets, takes life in a moderate way, and has a good appetite as well as a. digestion.

Of course there is little satisfaction and less profit in handling this class of animals. The same or les feed given to one animal of a good disposition secures a much better gain at a less cost than if given to one of poor disposition. This is an important item in buying stock to feed, either for growth or to f-tten, and as much skill or judgment is required in selecting and buying animals to feed as in feeding.

When stock is being fed (na narrow margin of profit, the one class of animals will return a certain profit and the other a less profit, even when given the same management. One advantage in breeding and raising stock to maturity is that the farmer, if he gives them proper attention, will understand the condition of them better than those he purchases, and he should be able to feed and manage so as to derive a large amount of profit. As it is the profit that the farmer is working for it is important to take every advantage to increase it as much as possible, and one way of doing this isto feed such animals as will make the best return for the amount of food supplied.
