Dwarf Apple Trees Planted by George T Powell in Columbia County
The sketch shows a steel Astrakhan dwarf apple tree from two years prior. Powell, of Columbia County, has planted many such trees on Paradise stocks, which stay eight to ten feet high with careful pruning. Paradise stock works best on small lots, while Doucin stock yields eighteen to twenty feet trees and larger spacing. Dwarfs bear sooner and adapt to confined spaces, enabling multiple fruit varieties per garden. Chamber government horticulturist notes prisons and small lots may use dwarf fruit trees, and single trees can bear up to 150 varieties. Combining fruit with strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries and using pathways around trees maximizes space.

Reuse and repair tips from old farm tools
Do not discard rotted fenceposts. Patch ends with a matching piece and spikes. For seed hygiene, apply formalin solution to oats, spread and dampen, then cure the grain before storage. Repair a broken hoe by straightening the handle at a blacksmith and sharpening it for chores.
Tops of Fenceposts Should Be Cut Slanting For Drying
The tops of fenceposts should be cut slanting with an ax to drain crabwater. Sawing creates a flatter surface and a greater pitch when spring wood and summer wood differ in hardness, especially in posts with marked growth-ring differences.
