NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA OcrAx STEAM LINES
The important intelligence is announced bv
telegraph of the consolidation of the Atlantic
and Pacific Mail Steamship Companies, the latter
paying four and halt paillions Of dollars for
ownership in the vessels and appurtenances Of
the old company. The Bulletin says it has long
been conjectured that the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company intended to establish a through line to
New York, unless some means could be devised
to reform the management of the Vanderbilt
Company and its successors on the Atlantic side.
To this end they have been constructing and
superior steamships, only part Of which could
be needed on this side. 1t is reasonable now to
conclude that some of these superior new vessels
will take the place of the old tubs ruanng from
New York. and that accommodation equal in all
respects to those afforded this side will be
hereafter provided on the other. Ia this case
the public will have 10 complain, and
the voyage between New York and San Francisco
will lose more than half its terror. The consol-
dated companies have abundant use for their
numerous vessels, The increased service between
New York and San Francisco, necessitated by
the growth of the freight business, if not by the
demands of travellers, will alone afford employ
ment for several more than have sufficed for the
sem-monthly service Several vessels will be
needed for the China and Japan mail service, the
contract for which has been awarded to the Pa
cifc Mail Steamship Company. The Bulletin
further states that the fact Of chief interest to
our people is the probability now existing that
hereafter the worst abuses that have been
dured on the steamship route to New York will
be removed, and the voyage rendered more safe
and pleasant Such result would undoubtedly
stimulate emigration hither, especially if the
Company have the good sense to fix and adhere
to a standard of reasonable prices.

How to Test the Quality of
Wool,

Texas paper says: Take lock OF
wool from the sheep'e back and place it
upon an inch rule. II you can count from
80 to S3 of the spirals or folds in the space
of an inch, it equals in quality the finest
Electoral or Saxony wool grown. OF
course, when the number of spirals TO the
inch diminishes, the quality of the wool
becomes relatively inferior. Many tests
have been tried, but this is considered the
simplest and best Cotswold wool and
some other inferior woods DO not measure
nine spiral to the inch. With this test
every farmer has in his possession knowl-
edge which will enable him to form cor.
rect judgement of the quality of all kinds
Of wool. There are some woods which ex
perienced wool growers do not rank as
wool, but as hair, on account Of the hard.
ness and straightness of the fibre.

ORCHARD CULTIVATION.

The cultivation of orchards is one of
those mooted questions which for long
period has disturbed the horticultural com
munity, and yet there would appear to be
but one rational side to the question and
that is all orchards should be titled. 1t is
simply nonsense to expect that tree will
produce and mature large quantities of
fruit. for any considerable period, without
manuring of some kind to replace the ele-
ments which the fruit carries away. While
the cultivation of an orchard may not prove
remunerative, so far as the crop itself is
concerned, it undoubtedly, if judiciously
managed, improves the condition Of the
trees, and consequently the quality of the
fruit. We have known orchards bear fruit
well, which for many years were permitted
to lie in grass, but eventually they gave
out, and ceased to be productive. On the
other hand, we have known orchards which
for thirty years have been cultivated as
regularly as other portions of the farm,
and the results have been the continued
health of the trees, and unless destroyed
by frosts regular average annual yield
The stirring of the soil appeared to impart
new energy to the trees. They not only
presented healthy and vigorously y appear
ance, but yielded handsome returns yearly.
The crops, it is true, may not have been
as luxuriant as on those parts Of the farm
not so much shaded, but every bushel of
oats, corn, potatoes or turnips might prop
erly be set down as so much clear gain. 1t
is we'll to remember that deep blowing in
an orchard is not advisable. A good evil
dence of the value of cultivation is shown
by the fact, that when trees run to wood,
and yield little or no fruit, the luxurant
growth OF the wood can be readily checked,
and fruitfulness promoted, by putting the
orchard in grass for couple of years. If,
at the end of that period, shallow blowing
is resorted to, the beneficial effects will
be apparent to the most casual observer.

work finished behind you, l. e., draw your
brush from your work, you will then leave
it smooth. Go over the second coat across
the first coat This will take out the streaks
and leave it smooth when dry. A good
brush is absolutely necessary to make work
look well. Always soak the brush in mod
eratey warm water before using it, and
clean it thoroughly when your work is done
Avoid having your wash too thick. 1t is a

To prepare a wash for fences and the

lime in a barrel, and pour on little water
so as to drown the lime as it is called Let
it swell and crack and gradually add the
water till it is of the right consistency,
then add four quarts of coarse salt dissolved
in water. This will render the coat hard,
and not so liable to wash of. A conven-

wash, and with a pair of tongs dip them
into it. Keep the barrel covered when not

WHITE WASHING.

AS some kinds oflabor may be performed
at IA season of the year when the weather
is not suitable for out-of-door occuratiOn it
may be well to look around and see what
may be necessary within doors. Among
these is the white-washilg of rooms In
the first place, see if there are any cracks
in the plastering, or shrinking of wood
work from it. If so, mix a little caIcined
plaster and quick lime together with wa
ter, little at time and with an old case
knife, fill up all the cracks with the paste.
Dip the brush in water and smooth down

cined plaster at hand, put little plaster of
paris in a skillet, heat it over the fire so as
to make 1T appear like boiling, but do not
keep it in that condition too long, and you
will have the calcined plaster. This paste
is also excellent to fill up the cracks in

BURN UP THE RUBBISH.

Fire is a great purifier. II is astonishing
what change for the better can be made
in the garden and around the house by
raking up and burning the rubbish. If any
of it is valuable for manure, let it be
wheeled to the compost heap, and then set
fire to the remainder Go where we may
rubbish of all kinds meets the eye. In the
country, branches Of trees are thrown into
the fence corners and there allowed to lie
and rot Chips, old rails, stumps of trees
and decayed wood, III a variety Of form s, are
found on almost every farm. They are un-
slightly objects, but this is by no means
their worst feature They are the prolific
source of fungus in all its multifarious
forms. And fungus is becoming the great
est pest in American horticulture. The
cracking of the pear rotting of the grape
and specks on apples, are all caused by
fungus, while rust and mildew are only
different names for different forms offungus
growth.
In the garden and orchard, everything
that will not rot and make manure in less
than year should be at once gathered up
and burnt. The Importance of doing this
promptly is not generally understood. If

woody matter of all kinds could be charred,
instead of bu mt, it would make excellent
manure And in many instances this can
be done without much trouble. Old sods
from waste places in the garden can be OBJ
tanned TO cover the heap, and they will
themselves be converted into most useful
fertilizer. Vegetables of all kinds delight
in such manure. 1t is free from weeds,
acts quickly, and makes the soil light, warm
and porous. A gardener who once uses
them will never again, if possible, be with
out supply.
