Let all your stock be kept of your meadow

cially let sheep and horses be kept of, for
they gnaw closer to the roots than cows and

method of treatment. But If want of plant.
food is the principal cause, then give top

you are at loss to determine what fertilizer

Renovaaing Old Orchards.
An old apple orchard, of about thirty
years growth, has recently fallen under my
management. During the first twenty years
of its growth, much attention was bestowed
upon it by scraping off the rough bark, wash
ing, pruning thoroughly, and manuring the
ground. During the past ten years, how.
ever, it has been considerably neglected; the
scrapings, washings and manurings having
been omitted, while the prunings have been
only lightly performed, annually. The con.
sequence is, that the soil will bring but little
grass, and the trees, though nearly all of them
have thrifty appearance, bear irregularly,
some Of them still bringing choice fruit to a
plentiful extent, while many bear plentifdlly
cracked and knOtty fruit, and the balance
rarely bear.
lam anxious to do q alargeamount of graft
ing this spring in this orchard, and to bring
it into excel 'ent condition in the least posi-
bic time, but am rather uncertain as to the
proper course to pursue to most quickly and
elfectually renovate 1t. Please advise me.
ASswER-Treos which have been lightly
and properly pruned, and the soil kept fer
tile or previously manured, so that they have
thrifty appearance, we should regard as in
good condition. II the trees are not sufi-
ciently vigorous, however, moderate manur-
ing and cultivation, to keep the soil constantly
clean and mellow, will tend to improve them
more than any scraping, washing or pruning,
although these are good in their place. We
should not desire the soil to bring any grass,
in an orchard to DO renovated, but would
keep It clear by narrowing or shallow plow-
ing. The trees which do not bear under
good treatment should be re-grafted 10 pro-
ductive varieties, such as the Baldwin, Lowell,
Seek-no-fhrther, &c. The grating should
commence at the top of each tree, and be con-
tinued for two or three years, working down.
