Why dld'nt plant an Orchard

1t is no uncommon ocCurr ence noyF-a-
days to hear Iowa farmers exclaim "Oh
had | planted an orchard, of two or three
hundred trees on my place when came
here, their product would have been
fortune to me. See that lone tree yon-
der, only ten yea rs from the seed, would
you believe It We had five bushels
from that tree this season." .a
These idle regrets are ever heard
out still do not seem to impart the prae-
ucal lesson which this important subject
nemands, Thousands of Iowa farmers
IN the race of iEcontroverlble evidence
as to the practicabili,y of raising fruit
here, are still neglecting the orchard and
even the fruit garden, until hltle more
IS done upon the farm in some other di-
/ reCtion-buildipgs perfected-a a little
more brought under the plow, and little
else remaining in the way of improve
ment. In short, the most important branch
of farming is too often the last to com
mand the operators attention. Why we
ask, do farmers patroDize that dear old
school master, personal experience, while
his exhorbitant tuition is matter Of everv
days conversation In vain j; is shown,
from time to time, that fruit trees well
planted and cared for, foot up the Iarg-
est gains, in proportion to the expendi-
lures Of time and money, of any branch
of farming. Resolves are made while
the evidence is fresh before the mind
and some future day set for the procur-
ing and planting of the trees. The day
perhaps is set, at least the time is named
when the nearest nursery is to be drawn
upon for the necessary number Of trees
but IN the meantime some other faucied
duty steps in, and tree planting is again
laid over to another season, and so it goes
year after year Such has been the prac
lice of far too many. who could have had
ere Ibis. if they had possessed the will
a good orchard. We once more appeal

Protecting Peach Trees -ResHlls.

Levi Bartlett Of New Hampshire. who
has a wide reputation asan experienced.
and observing farmer, relates the fol-
lowing: -...... s.s 49, s..
Last Saturday, being a. the village,
met a man who related TO me an az
pertinent he made last autumn on peach
tree. Late in the fallhe procured hem-
lock and spruce trees about dozen feet
high; with q crowbar he made holes
around the peach tree, and set out the
evergreens, so as to completely protset
il from sudden changes. of the weather.
Early in May he removed the hemlocks,
and the result of the operation is, thss
none of the tenderest limbs or blossoGs1
buds were injured by the cold Of the WIN
ter. The tree is very thrifty, five or six
years from The seed. This morning 1
rode out to see the tree, and have no
doubt there is over two bushels Of fFuit
on il to-day, large and fair, and Just be-
ginning to ripen. Now what Isaac Hunt
has done in the way of raising peaches
away down here, little snis side Of the
North pole. Others con do, AMI have
peaches without moDey or price. With
one exception, I have seen 10 peaches
upon trees exposed 70 the winter but I
have seen this season a grea, many pret-
ty fair peach trees, ''buI nary a peach
upon shem."
We suppose that corn stalks set in and
around the trees would serve th3 sams
purpose as evergreens. We will here
add, that Mr.. John ID. Bush Of Dubuqus
protects his trees from injury in the win-
ter by throwing upon them straw, and
seldom fails to obtain a crop of fruit from
trees thus treated Ia 1861 he harvest
eight to ten bushels from a few small
trees. His plan is to compel ihe limbs
20 grow horizontally, and within two OF
three feet from the ground instead Of up
right. The direction must be given to
the limbs when the tree is small by con-
fning them to stakes or a horizontal
trellis. -IouCa Homestead.

the best for all occasions. This is not a
go0d method, because rifle sometimes
kicks with very slall charge and not
with large onp. The kicking almost al
ways depends on The lubricatIon of the
patch and the condition of the barrei:-4
Some useful directions are given for the
purpose of keeping rifle ID order. Afs
Ter firing it should be wiped with a clean
wet rag-Canton flannel is stated to be
the hest; then II should be wiped dry and
oiled We have found that refined pc
lroleum is about the best liquid that can
be used for wiping out rife barrel,
which should always be kept as bright as
looking glass or good shooting cannot
be expected from il. A rife oiled with
refined petroleum, in which little bees
wax has been dissolved. may be laid by
for year without speck Of rust gather
ing upon it. OF course the whole residue
OF the powder must be first washed off
with wet rag. The most sure way of
obtaining a frsl-rate rife is TO engage ii
of frSt-rate maker, There are several
of such in The country who prefer to have
their rifles fairly tested before being pur-
chased. As with new ak, however, 50
il is with a rifle Il takes some time to
get the bang of it;' and as every
marb sman has his peculiarilies, SO one
may shoot we'll with one rife and not
with another, while the reverse would be
the case with the same rifles by another
marksman equally as good The finish
ing advice which we would give TO marks
men is: when you get good rife---one

How Mist is Generated.

The production of mist is the sub
iect of a note by the veteran DR.. John
Davv. (brother Of Sir Humphrey.} In
the Edinburg Philosophical journal.
The cause usually assigned for mist is
the access of cold air, and its admix-
ture with warmer air, saturated, or
nearly saturated, with moisture, (such
as that resting on the surface Of large
bodies Of water, ard strikingly exem-
plifed in our autumnal and winter
fogs, when the water, owing to the
heat absorbed during summer, is Of q
higher temperature than the inAowing
air. DR.. Davy, however, refers to
another cause, not so much noticed,
viz: a mild, moist air. coming in
contact with a colder air, equally
humid, resting on cold surfaces,
whether of land or water, about the
end Of winter or beginning spring.
He describes mists which he considers
to have been thus formed in the lake
district of Cumberland. Toa similar
cause, also, he refers the phenomenon
termed sweating, which is the pFecip,
itation of moisture on walls and fiag-
ged floors excluded from the influence
of fire. He also attributes to a warm
south wind, succeeding a very cold
north wind, the deposition Of . large
quantity of moisture in the gallery Of
nobleman in Devonshire, and quotes
the saying in Homer, "The south wind
wraps the mountain top ia mist.

D, rvades the whole body, and may burst out
In disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
CT used by mercurial disease, low living, dis
OF dcred or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
AID filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above ali, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-

unto the third and fourth generation; indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81
v i'll visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
Hood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, IN
le lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
bercles; in the glands, swellngs; and on
e surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
I iption, which genders in the blood, depresses
e energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-

| . and the attacks of other diseases; conse-
lently vast numbers perish by disorders
| hich, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
,.mates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
ind, indeed, of all the organs, arise from OF
ire aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous

tection, and their health is undermined by it

here prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
i,ned from the most active remedials that have
i,een discovered for the expurgation of this foul

Hence it should be employed for the cure of

proach Of its premonitory symptoms. tits not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
Of complaints, but also the cheapest. u The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach Of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUR prevails, every body should

ton. Agreat superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
Of Intermittentsi is that it contains Quinine
or mineral, conseguentlyit produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as Il
they had never had the disease. 70
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of disor-
