Ia Main view Of whers | am now writing,

was planted more than forty years ago The
trees were allowed 10 follow the dictates of
Daturc The ground had been plowed i crop
ned few tines but most OF the time 1t has
lain in pasture. aud no manure of any kind
s,as ever bsen applied. Some twenty FIVE
years a.o, more than half the trees were
grated, mostly with winter fruit, but, the
branches of the Old stock were suffered to re-
main, to the great damage of the grated
fruit. There still remained "a trees which
had never been grated, and having fallen
into other hands, the proprietor, in the spring
OF 1885, employed two young men to graft
them with winter russets which they accom-
plished in little more than one day. In
four years time, Oct 1859 the owner gath
cred eighteen barrels of as handsome winter
russets as ever saw, besides what windfalls
were devoured by cattle, hogs and horses =
The good fruit he sold for S1.22 per barrel
(the barrels were furnished,) amounting t'
S22, so, which was sufficient to pay for tht
labor of grating several times over, and se'
not why these twenty four trees, If we'll carec
for, may not produce the same good fruit 70
forty years to come.
Axemeu spare tha. old orchard! Don
cut down a tree, unless it is dead or dying. =
Make new tops by grating every proininen
branch of an inch or more in thickness, wit
some good winter fruit. Prune away To
natural branches; not all at once, but by dc
grees. Dig about them and dung them, an
you will be sstonisheG at the results. Piel
