FOUR The Home Fruit Garden And How to Make It Washington.— One of the most Im portant features of a suburban home, from the standpoint of health, is a fruit garden, maintained for the pur pose of supplying the family with fruits. It is amu zing that even thont who have suitable situations and fa cilities for raising fruits, and who can not purchase them because of remote ness from markets, have not estab lished home fruit gardens, says tne department of agriculture. The inhabitants of this country are notably a fruit-loving and fruit-eat ing people. Notwithstanding this, however, fruit culture has grown to be classed among specialties, and few persons who consume fruit are actual growers. The possibilities in fruit cul ture upon restricted areas have been very generally overlooked with the IF SKIN ITCHES AND BREAKS OUT APPLY SULPHUR Get ounce of bold-sulphur cream and heal Eczema eruptions right up.

A $3.00 Hat for $2.00 result that many persons who own a suburban home, or even a farm, now look upon fruit as a luxury. A great deal of the land is now practi cally wasted and entirely unremuner ative can be made to produce- fruits In sufficient quantify to give them a reg ular place upon the. family bill of fare, and at the same time add great ly to the attractiveness of the tdblc* and heslthfufncss of th<- diet. By the Orchard. With the growth of commercial fruit interests of the Tinted States * the home fruit garden has been over shadow od by the orchard. While botn the home* garden and the orchard arc essential to the good of the communi ty, they bear ciifloremt relations to the country as a whole. The; home gar den Is always a forerunner of com mercial development, ami even in those 1 ! localities where climatic and soil conditions are adverse to conduct ing «uch industries on an extensive scale, the home fruit garden of tne enthusiastic amateur ,h certain to be found. The borne production ot fruit stimu lates n interest and love for natural objects which can only be acquired by that familiarity with them which conies through their culture. The cultivation of fruits teaches discrimi nation. If every purchaser was a good Judge of the different kinds of fruit.', the demand for fruits of high quality, to produce which is the ambition of every amateur a« well as every pro fessional fruit grower, would become h reality. The encouragement of the cultivation of fine fruits in the home garden will do much toward teaching buyers to discriminate between the good and the * Inferior varieties of fruit. Pleasure and Health. The maintenance of a fruit garden brings pleasure and lu nlthful employ ment, and aif one's Interest in grow - : tng plants increases, this employment instead of proving a hardship will become a great source of pleasure. The possession of a tree which one has planted and reared to fruit produc tion carries fin added interest in its product as well as In the operation by which it was ecured. Most persons engaged In the culti vation of homo fruit gardens will have as their chief aim the production of fruit for the family table, and the pleasure it affords. Fruit growing should claim the attention of the pro ducer from early spring to Into au tumn. In order to secure satisfactory re sults in n limited arm devoted to fruit culture one must know the methods of pruning, training, and culture besi suited to the space at command. In proportion to size, dwarf tries are more fruitful than standards; they come into bearing sooner and are therefore of special Value for use In fruit gardens. At planting time nil broken or dr efiyed roots should he cut away, leav ing o lv smoot,i-cut surfaces and heal thy wood to come In contact with the soil If it largo part of the root area of the plant has been lost tn trans planting, the top should be cut back in proportion to tho roots remaining. Tty so doing the demand made by the top when the plant starts Into growth can be met by the root. The holes In which trees, wines, or shrubs are to be set should be am ple, so that the roots of the plants may have full spread without bending them out of their natural course. The earth at the bottom of the holes should be loosened a spade depth below the line of excavation. The soil plared immediately in contact with the roots of the newly set plant should be rich top *oll, free from sod or partially decayed organic matter. Firm the soil over the roots by trsuipllng, ns this brings the soil particles together and at the same time In close contact with the surface of the roots. A movement of soil water Is thus set up and the food supply of the soil brought Immediately to the use of the plant. When the operation of tratva planting la complete, the plant should stand one or two inches deeper than it stood in the nursery. Growing of Fig*. Th interest of a * fruit garden may bo greatly enhanced by growing in them plants not adapted naturally to the climatic region In which the gar den is located, as, for instance, the growing of flus as far north as the latitude of I'hiiadclpbtn. The summers of the region are sufficiently long and warm to Induce a strong growth in the fig. but as the fruits normally require a long period in which to ma ture, the plant become* useless ns a fruit producer unless sufficient pro tection is iffordwj to carry over win ter the immature fruits set the pro vtous fall. This can be successfully accomplished in several ways. The most hardy sort should be selected. In addition to which the fruiting shoots may be wrapped tn matting, covered with straw, and the fruits thus suc ceesfuUy protected; or. 1f It seems desirable, temporary sheds may be built over the plants, and these thatched with straw* or fodder suf ficiently to protect them from frost. A coxy summer veranda may he cov ered by grapevines, thus securing the double sdvantage of a cool .shady nook during summer and a supply of fruit In autumn. The vines may be uti lised as a cover for walks and drives or aa a canopy over small outbuild ings.
