Fruit Growing.

We frequently hear the remark, cit is no

sas, particularly apples it is too hot and
dry. The trees grow very well in the nur
sery, bu; as soon as they are taken up and
planted in the orchard they become sickIy,
and in few years are played OUT" Now
beg leave to differ with this kind of theo-
ry, and think can convince any intelli-
gent mind that in any country where apple
trees grow and do we'll in nursery they
can be made to grow AID thrive in an or
chard. The objection is, it is too hot and
dry Then, would ask, why is it they
grow so well in the nursery? The reason
is this: A nursery is well cultivated-made
mellow and porous by constant cultivation
and consequently the ground is always
cool and moist, and the trees being close to-
gether, they protect each other from the hot,
burning winds that Kansas is subject to-.
Now it is very simple thing to give the
tree the same protection in the orchard that
! it has in the nursery /; and if that be the
fact, they must grow as well (and l think
better, for they have more room). And
they way to give them the same chance and
protection is this: In the first place, plow
the ground deep-nol less than twelve inch
es twenty is better. 1t should be plowed
in the fall. Plant the trees in February or
first of March, and have them head low
not over two feet from the ground. 1t
makes no difference how large the trees are
when taken from the nursery. Cut them
off within two feet of the ground. If it
takes off the entire head, and leaves nothing
but the trunk, ii is all the batter, for new
head will soon form and be more thrifty
than the old one. Then place ten or twelve
inches Of coarse manure or decayed straw
over a circle of four or FIVE feet about the
tree. That will keep the ground cool and
moist all the time. 1t will be necessary to
keep the mulching around the tree for three
years, at the expiration of which time, the
head being low, the foliage of the tree will
be sufficient to protect the trunk from the
dry, hot winds, keep tie ground shaded and
moist, and produce healthy and vigorous
growth; while, on the other hand, if the
tree had headed four or FIVE feet from the
ground, it would be constantly weaving
about by the wind, and the trunk having no
protection from the sun or the hot winds, it
makes (if it grows at all) a feeble and sick
ly growth. w. +. j.

Emieration from ireland.

The ceaseless flow of emigration from
this country is scarcely more important
than the direction of the current. The
mass of the emigrants are bound not 10 the
British colonies, but to the United States.
When the City of Glasgow arrived of
Queensland on Thursday, $50 passengers
were on board, making her entire number
about 700, while 10 less than 900 persons
were left behind, who had procured passage
tickets. The Cork Reporter states the rush
for passage to have been so great that per-
sons desirious of being booked on Thursday
would notsbe entered for any time before
the 25th of June next, with a probability
of being obliged TO wait still longer.
There are over 1000 persons already en-
tered to sail in the Inman's company's
hnafs. and beforo Uus Or that number can be
sent, there VIII be vast increase by other
entries in Liverpool and Queenstown, and
by the advance fares paid In America.
"When it is considered" says the Re-
porter, ''tl at this company dispatches three
boats every fortnight, aud that the Canard
compaDy's boats depart weekly, and that
the emigration continued during the whole
Of the past winter. although previously it
ceased during the ungenial weather, some
notion might be formed of the magnitude
of that tide which is ceaselessly rolling
from our shores"
One day last week 70 persons from
Tralce and Killarney took their departure
for New York. Next day the number was
between 900 and 800 of whom 40 had their
passage paid by Lord Castleresse. All of
them had been the occupants of small farms,
and they are described as the bone aud sin
ew of the country. This movement may
be said to be universal, though prevailing
more in some districts than IN others.-Liv-
e1pooL Post, Nag 1911.

that Grant had paid too dearly for his vic

since no regrets were expressed that Lee
had paid too dearly for bis defeat. The
Morning Herald, which is in the pay of the
rebels, pronounced Grants advance "a4ail-

after Grant has taken Richmond. The
Globe stated that "Lee was fully successful
in barring the road of General Grant to
Richmond - but the London Globe Is like

that the pirate Georgia was Immediately

Crops in Iowa.

A gentleman just returned from tour
through Buchanan, Blackhawb, Bremen,
Butler, sad Floyd counties, informs US that
the prospects for large crops in those To-
calities were never better than now He
expected to find farms uncultivated for
want of hands, but we saw no such thing.
Every improved piece of land is being titled.
He observed scores of women and girls
hard at work at all kinds of farm labor To
satisfy his curiOity he stopped at one place
where the girls were hoeng corn, to see if
they were Americans. He found they were,
and they were we'll educated and refined.
Their brothers were in the army they said,
and their father not being able to obtain
help at any price, they had taken hold them
selves. He found the farmers everywhere
cheerful and well pleased at the appearance
of the crops. A greater breadth of land is
sown with grain in these sections than ever
before. The farmers be talked with all said
that if it were not for help from women,
they would not have been able to accomplish
half of What has been done. God bless our
farmers wives and daughters Dubuque
