Planting Apple Orchards.

We have long been under the impression
trought to us merely by observation. that as
rule the trees In our apple orchards are planted
too distantly apart. May farmers look upol
the space usually occupied by orchards as al
most so much waste. They say, We get go lit
tie fruit from the ground taken up by the trees
and we cannot cultivate ths orchards as We
should like, from injury to the roots, etc., &C
that we are forced, on the ecore of economy, %
abandon apple raising. Now, practically, an
orchatd should be an orchard only. Except
grass 1t should be left unouitvAted, after the
trees have reached say abon. four inches in
diameter. We can see no reason why good
crop of grass should not be continuously pro
duced for quarter or third of century With
out disturbance. A top dressing of manure
once In two or three years We know has pro
duced fioe zelda of grass annually two crops
The trees have little or no influence upon ths
csops of grass, indeed, if they possess any 1t II
In affording heavier swath under the trees
Hence, instead of setting out young orchards
thirty and thirty five feet apart, reduce the
distance to about twenty feet in the quincunl
form, and if at any time the trees should be-
come q little crowded, prevent IL by additions
pruning. This is our theory.
The leading purpose Of an orchard should b,
to obtain fruit; next the crop that will do th
least damage to the trees. This is grass.
| Grass, however, will not only do no damage {
the apple trees, but the contrary. Il keeps th
soil moist and of uniform temperature--prS
tectng the roots in summer against heat an
drought, ald In winter against the severe el
fects of alternate thawipg and fleeing.

The GOODRICH PoTKToEs,-Our readers are
doubtless familiar With the new and valuable
varieties of potato raised by Chaunuey E.
Goodrich, chaplain Of ths Utica Inasne Asylum
| which have now been widely disseminated
| throughout the country. During 9 recent visit
to bis extensive plantations, was much inter.
ested In personal examination Of the growth
aud appearance of many Of the varieties -
Several acres we're occupied by them; one prin
opRl field, comprising about two acres, contains
fitty aorta, besides many new seedlings under
trial. Each variety has Its own peculiar ap-
pearance of growth, and the owner recognized
them with the same rediness that nuseryman
distinguishes the different sorts of fruit in bis
NURSERY rows, or that breeder Of Durham cat
tie knows all the individuals of bis large herd.
Some grow erect and vigorously to height of
two feet or more; others we're ss PROSTATE on
the ground as the vines Of melons OF cucumbers;
some of the stems were entirely green, while
Others we're dark purple; the leaves presented
various shades of fiueness or ranknes, Of growth
some were slender and Others stiff; come again
were feeble, while others we're luxuriant. The
present warm and moist season has tended TO
produce rot, aud some Of these sorts already
show indications of disease, not usually seen
upon them. Others ara wholly unaffected, The
proprietor thinks that this unusual season, while
il will induce him to reject some sorts more
liable to disease than he hoped, will enable him
to cut down the list'o varieties, and furnish
such as may be relied on 10 all casee, ss hardy
and proof against the diaease. He thinks about
one-halt of his new sorls are thus affected;
while of all the old varieties, the Prince AL.
bert only has proved hardy in this respect; On
observing tbe great numbsr of varieties grow
ing In close proximity, an allusion and inquiry
was made to the common opinion that sorts
would mix In the hill. He promptly answered,
No-I have had II. 900 chances TO see it, II
Il we're so, having raised more than this num-
ber of varieties. Country Gentleman. .. 40

WEAVING Looms. We are so well pleas
ed with the advances being made toward
home independence by home manufaclur-
ing that ge allow Messrs. RARsTow q Urn
the free use OF our reading columns to ad-
vertise their patent looms for weaving, and
which they claim as far better than the old
life destroyer hand loom. They neglect to
name the price, terms, &C., and neglect to
say whether the machine requires all the
roomin house and some other things that
people will want to know.
1t appears to us, were we in the loom
making business, we'G take sample round
the country to show to all the old lady
weavers and let them see it work, or work
it themselves. The young women may re-
ject the machine, because not liking to re-
sort to the wheel and loom. The new race
must be educated to spin and weave by the
few living mothers and grandmothers who
spun and wove in the days when the best
lady workers were most loved and sought
fol marriage-which is not the case now,
though sucl day is surely near. The abil-
ity hardly exists to purchase another stock
Of clothing, bedding and curtain stuffs at
present prices. Such must come of the
next crops of wool and flax, and the women
and men must manufacture them at home.
Who first learns these arts, will be first free
from dangling rags; those who hope on for
cheaper prices will hops long in rags and
poverty most likely.
