FRUIT TREES

We have from the Boston Bee, anolhe
report Of a conversation meeting Of the far.
mers Of the Massachusetts Legislature
The subject at this meeting was fruit trees.
One thought that 10 setting out trees they
should be placed forty feet apart, which
would give bui twenly.eighI trees TO an
acre; and another believed that hundred
trees 10 an acre was none too many. The
cultivation Of ,he soil Of orchards for other
crops was opposed by one speaker, but an
other thought ii would no, interfere with
the fruit trees, provided The soil was well
msnured, as they mblbe different kind OF
nulriment.
As an instance ia illustration of the two
last theories, mention was made Of The eX"
perienCe of Mr.. Moses Jones, of Brooklyn,
who, some years since, planted two or
three acres with apple trees, sci two rods
Apart. A few years after, he set peach
trees between the apple lrees-lhree of the
former to one of lhe latter. He has raised
crop every year among these trees, sufi.
cieu, to pay the expense Of cultivation and
management of the whole orchard From
the ll2 apple trees in his orchard, he Ials~
ed during the eighth year, lO3 barrels OF
apples and about The same time he sold the
crop Of peaches for S4OO
In pruning tree, it is OF very little i'm
por,ance when the wound oCcasiOned by
the removal of limb, heals, provided the
wound heals sound and healthy. The
month of August he thought, was The best
time lol pruning.
Ia uansplanlng, care should be taken to
preserve lhe small roots, and have as much
earth as possible adhering 10 the tree II
tny of The roots get broken, they should be
neatly pared off If The Wee is moi Imme-
diateIy pot o the ground The roots should
be shielded from ,ho sun, aud perhaps

are nut should be roomy, The soil well pull
yelzed, and the land deep. The roots
should be well spread out Shaking The
tree IN order 10 settle ,he soil upon Iht

and break the ToOlleIs.
Peach and pear trees might be nearer 'o
ee,her than apple trees, and thrive quite al

Fall and Wmier PioDing.--
Flowing late in the fall and during
winter, may in some instances be
beneficial; in others injurious. AS
general rule, the principal reason
that can be givenm favor of the prac-
tice, is that the work is performed
at time of leisure, and the farmer
is relieved from the pressure and hur-
ry which would attend the crowding
of all his blowing into few days Of
spring. Lsose gravelly and sandy
lands are not, probably, injured by
late blowing; but compact soils, if
plowed in fall, are sometimes so
beaten down by the heavy rains of
winter and spring, that more labor
is actually required to bring them
into suitable condition for crops than
if they had not been touched till near
the time of sowing or planting.
The idea that any thing is gained
by the decomposition Of sward by
late fall blowing, is, we are convin-
ced, a mistake. On the contrary.
every one who has had the opportu-
nifty Of observing, may have seen
that sward which is broken up after
the weather has become warm, and
the ,grasssomewhat started in spring,
rots much sooner than that which
was plowed in fall or winter.
But clayey soils, which have been
well drained, may be greatly improv-
ed by fall blowing, lift is done in the
right way. The ground should be
thrown INTO narrow ridges, which
should run in such direction as will
most readily turn off the water from
the field Lettwo burrows, as deep
as can well be plowed, be turned to.

when their early growth has been in
soil similar to that for which they are
destined to be placed permanently.

no will take till he is six months old,
and then suddenly turned him of
to live on short pasture.
