Fruit Trees.

Manure Rotten leaves, or tho mould
formed by the decomposition of leaves, is ro.
commended by Forsyth. Compost, or rich
earth, Is said to be preferable to dung, which
encourages insects and blight. M'Mahon
saws, at is well known that where hogs and
poultry are constantly running over tn"
gruund, The trees seldom fail Oft crop, which
is The best proof that manure is necessary.-
ANY manure will suit an orchard but the
swccpings of cow-houses, hog-pens, slaugh
ter houses, poultry and pigeon .houses,emp'y-
ing of drains, &c. are more disposed to
iaciliale the growth OF fruit trees than stable
manure. However, any kind Of manure is
better than none at all"
"llog dung is accounted to have peculiar
virtue in invigorating weak trees. Rotten
turf, or any vegetable refuse. is a general
manure, excellent for all soils not already
too rich. For an exhausted soil, where n
frut-,ree, which has been an old. profitable
occupant, is wished TO be continued, dress
ing of animal matter is n powerful restorative ;
such as hogs' or bullocks' blood, otfal from the
slaughter house, refuse Of skins and leather,
decomposcd cnrrlon also urine diluted with
water. In soil which does not etfcrvesce
with acids, n little lime dug in a spit deep is
beneficial to fruit rees."-.3bereromJie.
