The ART of cultivaiing an Orchard successfully
is very simple and may be comprised in very
few rules
II is necessary that the heads OF the trees should
be regularly pruncd and formed while standing in
the nursery; and during the operation OF trans
planting, no limbs roots Of any size should be
shortened or mutilsed.
The soil into which they are 10 BIZ transferred
should be rich, and | am inclined 10 believe that
one Of clay is preferable to sands producing fruit
of higher and richer flavor. The holes should
be dug considerably larger and deeper than would
merely receive the roots. and should be filled mp
with a compost consisting Of rich Garth and dc
cayed manure.

exempt from the injuries from late spring ilosts
and on that account furnish favorable locations FOR
orchards.
Repeated ploughing, will facilitate the growth
of the trees, but whenever omitted ior few years
after having been praclised, viii be followed BY
cessation OF growth and spread OF discasc--be
sides the roots and bodies often suffer much injury
by the carclcssnc,s of kmcp.
The best cultvators for an orchard are swine
they will destroy insects and worms IN vafion,
WAYS, and preserve the trees IN healthy state.
The ground about the roots should be kept loose
by annual APPLICATION OF manure, lime. rubbish,
ashes, bones, horn shaYlnes, old tan bark, &c
Should they become infested with lice moss
the bark becomes bound or incristed with can

1t Is well known fact that wool growers in
this section OF the country, whose locks exceed
2oo sheep, lose large number Of their sheep
each winter. Some OF hcm we will allow, die oil
old age but too many of them do not live more
than two wears. There /, a remedy for this loss
OF propert3 aud that too directly IN the hand, Of
the shepherd. This being the case am ANXIOUS
10 lay II before the public that all may profit by IT
hereafter
II Is a custom among many flfmrrs, when they
drive IN their focks IN the fall, to put the whole
flock together in single barn, she'd whatever
place they may happen to have to keep them in.
Now it is very cvidon, that the young, the very
old, and weakly, or in other words, the most UNI
healthy OF the flock, cannot possibly fare equal,
well with the rugged, and 1t is a fact while the
one Is thriving tho other IS losing its strength.
When kept IN this situation one after anstlcr falls
from hunger, aud other causes incident to this
state of affairs, and they are no longer able to
raise themselves. Here the shepherd for the FIRST
time separates the almost lfcess sheep from the
multitude, and ondeayors to restore il to hcalth.
But il is too late. lie is soon convinced that "a
stitch IN time saves nine that ten thousands DYING
sheep, are worth no more thin the wool on their
backs.
When sheep are brought in from the pastures,
in the fall they sloWld be divided into four distinct
iiocks VIZ.
LIST. Meagre or sckly--whlch should be- kept
IN a warm barn, with bu, few in Il pen They
should have salt us often as once Il wcch-should
have a handful Of corn each day through the
w'ntcr--as much hay they can eat through the
day, aud should be ~atercd as often as tweed
day. THIS will not fail to keep them in good
order.
ID The Ewes also should be kept from the rest
OF the flock and should receive the same treatment
with the exception of the Grain which MAY be piv-
en- occasional, though il is not necessary
3d. The Bucks, intended ior the benefit Of the
flock, should be kcptby themselves, that lheS may
be in good order, and for another reason that will
suggest itself to all wool growers
ith. And last of all are the Wethcr, which
may be if healthy, kept entirely on hay and wa

have for twelve years kept large hocl. of
sheep, and have lost great many but since 1880
have adopted this course and have not lost one
