THE FARMER.
In sweet healthy air with farm OF his
own,
Secluded from tumult and strife,
The farmer, more blessed than King on
his throne, =.
Enjoys all the comforts of life.
When the sweet.smelling spring sheds her
perfume around,
And music enchans every tree,
With his glittering ploughShare he fur
rows his ground,
With a mind independent and free.
When winter howls dismally over the
earth,
And want tells her tale at his door,
Serenely he sits at his clean blazing hearth,
And dispenses relief to the poor.
Then let idle ambition her baubles pursue,
While wisdom looks down with disdain,
The home of the farmer hath charms ever
new,
Where health, peace and competence
rein.

FACTS ABOUT APPLES.-We have
an old apple tree which was revived by
trimming and grating it with Baldwin
scions fourteen years ago. 1t has been
greatly neglected, and was fast running
10 ruin when the work OF revelation was
commenced. The trimming and grating
process was not done at once, but judi
ciously continued through three years.
During this time the sward was dug up and
pulverized, and the soil Tor a diameter Of
twenty feet about the tree was manured
and dressed two or three times with good
wood ashes. The manure was slightly
dug in vixen applied. The new gratis
began to bear moderately the third year,
and gradually increased, until in leG0
they gave us seventeen barrels of apples.
In 1861, they yielded only peach or
two, and the present year, 1862, twenty
one barrels, most of which were medium.
sized, marketable apples Another tree,
which had scarcely a sound limb upon it,
was renovated al the same time. This,
however, produced the Hunt Russet, apple,
and did not need grating. The dead
wood was cut away, ;he top thinned lit
tie, and moupd Of good soil raised a foot
in height about the trunk. The ground
under the branches was dressed with ashes
and old composts, about every other year
for six wears. The tree commenced bear
ing the summer succeeding the care be-
slowed upon it, and has averaged about
two barrels per year since. These apples
were especially valuable, as it was the on
ly tree on the place that furnished any
fit for family use, BY considerable pleas
ant care, and moderate expenses, We
have been enabled to gather this year
about one hundred and twenty five barrels
OF very fine apples.-New E. Farmer.
