Fertilising a Orchard.
Question.—l hav. n y.-nna ;*■• *..-h '

mediate attention- hi/.. pruaiug
ami cultivating. I turn-, i under n crop j
of green pea vinos last summer; now
will it need fertilizing with dimmer,ual
manures this spring, or would you ad
vise to rely on the pea vinos alone?
Answer.— lt is no easy matter to re
new the vigor of a young orchard that
has 1 eon neglected, and the tree j con
sequently dwarfed and stunted. Es
pecially is this difficult where five soil is
naturally poor, or partially ixhausted.
Turning under the pea vines was of
course beneti-ial, adding nitrogen and
humus to the soil, but it w mid have
been better to have left the vinos to die
ou the laud before turning under, as
you would iu that way have obtained
bettor results, both in the way of nitro
gen and humus. You cannot rely aloue
upon the vines plowed under last sum
mer, but this spring, and as early as
possible, you must apply at the rate of
400 pounds per acre, a fertilizer coin
posed of 800 pounds of acid phosphate,
BUO pounds of k.duit, and 400 pounds of
cottonseed meal, applying it more liber
ally near and around the trees than else
where Turn tins fertilizer under, be
ing catvful iu doing s \ not to injure the
roots of the trees. The latter part of
April, sow broadcast in peas, allowing
none, however, Jo glow within and or 4
j feet of the trunk of the trees. This
I clear space about the trees must bo kept
! free from grass and weeds, and the
ground kept mellow with the hoe,
through the growing season. Pick the
i peas as they ripen, and in the early fall,
plow under the dead vines, running
! your plow as deep as possible, always
| being careful not to injure the roots of
the trees. Repeat- the process next
yoar, using the same fertilizer, and your
land should then bo in flue condition,
ud y ar trees restored to their lost
vigor l have said nothing about the
