CARLYLE ON THE EUROPEAN WAR.
Mr.. CARLYLE, the historian, in a letter
to friend has the following salty par

Fruit and Orchards.

Although the important subject of fruit
culture is now receiving far greater attention
than any former period, still it does not receive
that general attention which it merits True,
many are devotng all their time and energy to
the raising Of fruit, and realize large profits
from their orchards but every farm should
he we'll supplied with the variots kinds of fruit
trees, and each farmer have the pleasure of
eating the fruit of his own cultiyating
In setting out an orchard, select a spot of
groand say two acres, (it makes no particular
difference on what part of the farm, provided
it suits the convenience Of the farmer) that is
under good cultivation make. the ground
mellow, by plowing, sub-Soiling and narrowing :;
then furrow it ont, each way, with the pIow,
making the burrows thirty or thirty-four feet
apart After the ground is prepared in this
way, dig the holes (of course where the
furrOws cross large, say six feet in diameter
and eighteen inches deep, so that in setting the
trees, the roots can be placed in their natural
position.
in transplanting, it is necessary to have
mary persons, one to hold the tree steadily in
its proper place, while the other places the soil
around it this soil should be from tie com
post heap, or that taken from the hole NAV be
used, if thoroughly mixed with wellrottcd
manure. The tree should be set about as deep
as it stood in the nursery
IL selecting fruit-troes, especially the apples,
care should be taken to procure the varieties
that produced best in the section where they
are to be transplanted for while some kinds
yield well i'll one region, they are nearly worth
less in another The trees should be two or
three years old from the bud or graft, when
set in the orchard The usual time for trans
planting is in the spring and fall the former
Ne recommend, yet some prefer the latter.
1t is a wclEknOWn fact that the apple tree
does not arrive at perfection in one year or two
seasons but that it requires years to attain its
growth therefore, after the orchard has been
set out with labor and pains, the farmer must
not4hiHk his work finished, and that the trees
will hereafter take care Of themselves, and in
due time produce IA b0untiful harvest but
year after year he must not Only stir the ground,
and keep it loose, but also feed it well with
manure Besides, these are those rHe creatures
the caterpilars and borcr who not ony in
habit, but are ever endeayoring to destroy the
orchard they must DE routed from their pleas
ant abodes and slain without mercy
When necessary the trees should he care
fully and judicOusly pruned with the saw and
not with the axe. Fruit intended for market
or winter use, should airags be gathered with

Domestic Guano.
and pleasur,

Recently there has much been written in
regard to the Lobos guanO question, which has
cauSod no small stir among the importers,
Yenders and consumers of this important
manure in England and this country. The
annual removal of organic and inorganic matter,
contained in the productions of the field, dairy,
and stalls of the rural districts of our country,
WILL no doubt, in process of time obIige every
thrifty farmer to use imported manure, contain
ing those ingredients especially, which shall be
wanting in his SOIL for production of remuner-
ative crops. The cheapness at which these
afforded in the American market, will be q
subject of great interest to the agricultural pro-
ducer, in all parts of the country.
Yet every American farmer should be con-
stantly impressed with the vast interests con-
ncctcd with his profession, in saving and MAX
ing all the fertilizng matter at home, on his
own premises, he possibly can, thereby saving
his money, to be otherwise expended in I'M
provements increasing the productiveness of
his Lands, and thus putting within his reach, at
a small outlay, the means Of rendering them
more and more fertile, as every succeeding crop
is gathered into his garner
The object of this article is to recommend to
the American farmer the manufacture of do
mcstc guano from the droppings of his barn
yard fowls. Let him have erected a suitable
hen-houSe, and then insist that every old
rooster, hen and chicken on his premises, shall
make it their resting place for the night, at
least, under the penalty Of death, after a suit
able time of training has been expended on
them in vain. At the close of every week,
cause these premises to he thoroughly swept
and the products thus obtained to be carefully
packed away in barrels or tight boxes, mixed
with about one-third its weight Of plaster.
When you have your cornground ready for
planting i'll your crop, not before, have a box in
readiness, sufficiently large to hold two or three
barrels, and mix well with this domestic guano,
about double the quantity of wood-ashes, a
peek of pulyerised charcoal, and four quarts of
salt, to the barrel. Take a small handful of
this mixture and drop it into each hill, dust it
over with the soil, from one-haf to an inch in
depth, then drop your seed, cover as usual and
if your ground is able to perfect the crop in the
latter part Of the season, you will find reward
in the day Of harvest
saved from eighteen hens about nine
bushels the past year, and found it superior to
half shovelful of hog manure to each hill-
The increased productiveness of that part of
the field, where this mixture was applied, will
more than furnish the required stock for Il
years food for my fowls am well satisfied
with the result RE.
