Failure of Orchards.

From the excellent report of the Maine
board of agriculture of 1888, we eondense
the following. In the first place, the ear
ly planting werein virgin soil full of veg
etable mold from the decay of forest trees
and leaves for centuries. containing in
abundance, all the elements necessary 10
a thrifty growth. Thousands of trees
have since then been set upon lands great
ly exhausted by repeated groupings, with
insufficient returns, and they have literally
starved. A remedy for this is properly
manuring with compost of leaf mold,
wood-ashes and lime; stable manure may
he added to advantage. Again, the ear
lier planted trees were generally well shell
tered by the native forest growth.
The value CT shelter in such a climate
;lS ours has never been sufficiently appre-
ciated. The success which has attended
the planting of rows of evergreens for
screens, is really surprising, and warrants
the belief that no more judicious invest
ment can be made for young orchards in ex-
posed situations, than the planting of ever
green screens simultaneous with, or better
still, previous to the planting out of fruit
trees.
Another cause of failure may be found
in the fact that new soils of a tenaciou:
character do not suffer from the presence
of stagnant water so much while filled
with roots. as after these roots and stump:
have decayed and the soil fallen into g
more compact and less pervious state
Thorough draining must remedy this de.
feet. Every observing person knows
that our best orchards are upon very
strong rocky or stony soil, with a dry o.
porous Subsoil.
Still another reason for the longevity o
the first paintings was the fact that they
were seedlings, crown on the farmers OWL
land, or in the immediate vicinity, as they
were plenty, only the best were selected
for permanent planting. The simple tact
that they had thus grown upon the spot Is
conclusive evidence that they were hardy,
thrifty and adapted to the soil and eli
