Improving Old Orchards.

Desirable as pears, plums and cherries are we can hardly count on very large and constant supplies ot euca frult Our climate. sril is untavoable to thelr growth or they are infected with Sd many u- eects and dlseases. ahd require much care. that few farmers can devote sufficient attention to their culture. The apple must be our main dependence ; and 1t is no mean dependence either, Yet strange 70 say many orchards treated with neglect. The trunks aud limbs uf trees suffered to become nioss- the tops are allowed to grnw up dense mass of brush and the fruit to remain vf an inferior qua ty
 Now there are few men who can really afford to koep such orchards. Why not break up the ground and II 1t is not thought best to let it lie t"w then Sve 1t coat ot manure and raise kind of hoed crop upon it, If possible, mulch the ruots of each tree wlth old straw ur chips Oncc year, at least ecrub the trunks with weak lye or potash water to femove the moss and Tout the insects which harbm there Then, as to pruning. there is enough to do put 't must be done in the right way It will nut answer to mount tn trees with rough nailed boots and. ax in hand, hack away like a wo,sisman frlnp forest Tread on the limbs carefully so as not to start the bark. Use a fne-toothed pruning s,w thin out the branches to leave an op.n sv,, metlical head, and where large branches must he taken of cover the wounds with grating wax. or a solution of gum shcllac.

Last winter, muck Was used. 1t WAS dug in the preceding Au.,iSt dtiI piled on dry grOu!td near hy, to drain and tighten part of the heap was carted to the barn the cattle were to be stabbed in the tall and the mainder was hauled by the first sle lin2. and piled near the stable door, under shed opeu to tne south side In the coldest weather of winter, the frost penetrated the pile pretty deeply; but the muck was easily cut up with sharp pick ax, and it thawed very after being deposited in the trench could have readily put the muck in pl tee usually free from frost, but preferred to have it frozen for that operated mechanically to bleak down tne Jumps, and to divide pulverizc and improve it.
