erate stream. Plant those things that require least water where they will 

 get the least. Be careful not to force your trees into a growth of wood 

 that will not ripen before the succeeding winter. Give the small fruits 

 plenty of water while maturing. Water the young orchard, particularly 

 the apple trees, quite freely the first season and also the second. As a 

 rule, withdraw the water in August from the orchard to let the season's 

 growth mature. Don't spoil your land and crops by continuous soaking. 

 Turn off the water (not into the street) back into the ditch when you are 

 through with it. Water thoroughly the last thing before the ground 

 freezes, so that your stock will go into winter quarters in good shape, pre- 

 pared to resist the drying out process so fatal to trees in this climate.
