Budding Old Olives
I have seedling olive trees, set out in 1904, which I wish to change over to the Ascolano variety. Which is the best way to do it, by budding or grafting, and what is the proper time? Twig-budding brings the sap of the stock to bear upon a you... Budding Olive Seedlings
I have planted olive seeds which are just sprouting now. Can these be budded next June or July in the nursery row, or can they be bench-grafted the following winter? Your seedlings may make growth enough to spur-bud this summer. The ordinary ... Budding Or Grafting In Orange Orchard
I have land now ready to be planted to oranges, but it is impossible for me to buy the necessary budded stock now or even later this year. Would you advise me to plant the "sour stock" as it comes from the nursery and have it budded or crown-bud... Budding Orange Seedlings In The Orchard
What are the objections or advantages of planting sour stock seedlings where one wishes the trees and one or two years later bud into the branches instead of budding the young stock low on the trunk? Planting the seedling and at some future ti... Budding Oranges
My first attempt at budding, I cut 20 buds and immediately inserted in stock of Mexican sour orange "Amataca." I left bands on them for ten days at which time about half seemed to have "stuck," but after a few days the bark curled away and the b... Budding Oranges
How late in the fall can budding of orange trees be done - plants that are two years old - and what advantage, if any, is late budding? What shall I do with some old trees that were budded about two months ago and are still green but not sproute... Buds In Bearing Trees
In budding over some old peach trees, should I cut away the branch above the bud when the latter seems to have taken? The sap flow to the upper part of the branch should be checked by part girdling or by part breaking or bending the top above ... Bureau
What Is "Butter-fat?" I would like to know what "butter-fat" means. I have asked farmers this question and no one seems to know. I suppose all parties dealing with creameries understand what the standard of measure or weight of butter-fat... Butter Going White
I bought some butter and during the warm weather it melted. About 40 or ... Butter-fat In Sweet And Sour Cream
The creamery wagon takes our cream every other day. Without ice it is almost impossible to keep the cream sweet during the hot weather. By the time the wagon gets here, several hours after the fourth milking, the cream is quite sour. Does sour c... Buying Unmixed Materials
Acid phosphate, animal bone, and tankage can be bought of any fertilizer agent, but when one pays cash, he does well to get quotations from various leading manufacturers. The names of dealers in nitrate of soda can be secured from the New York agency ... Calf Dysentery
I would like to know the reason for bloody discharges from the bowels of a young six-day-old calf. There is a looseness of the bowels and the blood is intermingled with the excrement. There is not a profuse amount of blood, nor is it very dark i... California

Which are the best garden seeds to use, those raised in Ohio and the East or those raised in Washington and Oregon or those raised in this State? It has been definitely shown by experience and experiment that is does not matter much where the... California Insect Powder
What part of the plant is used in making insect powder and how is it prepared? Is the plant a perennial? What soil suits it best? The plant is Pyrethrum cinerariaefolium and has a white blossom resembling the common marguerite. The powder is m... California That I Am Very Much Puzzled Which Kind To Select
There is no grass which grows quickly enough to be worth seeding in the fall for spring plowing. It is a good deal better to use a grain, either barley or rye, for the seed is cheap, the growth quick and you can get a good deal of green stuff to plo... California Winter Pastures
We have a great deal of pasture land on which the native grasses yield less feed each year. A great part of this land can be cleared of brush and stone, ready for the plow, but what can we sow to take the place of the native pasture? The ground ... Canada Peas For Seed
I want to raise Canada peas for the seed. In what month of the year is the best time to plant them; also how many pounds to the acre to be sowed broadcast on rolling land in Napa? Broadcast from 80 to 100 pounds of seed per acre as soon as you... Canadian Or Niles Peas
I send a sample of peas which I bought for Canada field peas, and they were so labeled. I would like to know what they are. The peas are, apparently, one kind of Canada peas. There is some variation in Canada peas, but these are peas of that c... Cannibal Chicks
What can I do to cure my chicks of eating each other? Some kind of animal food is necessary when the chicks begin to pick toes, wings and vents. But the meat must always be cooked, the least bit of raw meat drives them wild as does the blood t... Canning Olives
What is the recipe for preserving olives by heat, and how long do they have to remain in the heated state? Canning olives is a process, not a recipe, and it has to be operated with judgment. It resembles, of course, the common process of canni... Caponizing
Can three to four month old cockerels be caponized successfully in summer, and if so, what care, feed, etc., do they require afterwards? The birds should be between two to three months, not over four, unless some very large variety that mature... Caring For Liquid Manure
If all manure were in solids, one great difficulty in caring for it would not exist. The nitrogen is the most valuable element in manure, and two fifths of all of it in horse manure is found in the liquid. In the case of cow manure, over one half of t... Carobs In California
Will the carob tree (St. John's Bread) do well in the Sacramento valley, and is it a desirable tree for lining a driveway? Carobs have been grown in California for thirty years or more and they will make a handsome driveway and give a lot of p...
