 I have had the 

 management of 

 the orchard ever 

 since 1889. That 

 spring it was top 

 dressed with 

 yard manure and 

 pastured to sheep. 

 We got no ap- 

 ples. In 1890 

 pastured again, 

 and no apples. 

 In 1891 pastured 

 and picked 100 

 bbls. In 1892 

 pastured and 

 picked about 75 

 bbls. of poor ap- 

 ples. It was top 

 dressed in 1893 

 with yard man- 

 ure, and pastur- 

 ed. We shook 

 ofi about 200 

 bushels of dry- 

 ing apples. In 

 the late fall of 

 189 3 and the 

 winter of 1894, 

 we gave the or- 

 chard a heavy 

 dressing of sta- 

 ble manure of

 In the spring of 

 1894, we gave 

 the orchard a 



very severe pruning and began spraying. [n this
