down the weeds and ward off the hot

best cultivation to adopt. Straw would
probably be the cheapest mulch, and in
the Western States it could easily be
procured. If this system were follow

the trees could be headed as low as de-

be best to remove the mulching, and top
dress the ground in autumn, but proba-
bly, the mulching would keep the soil
sufficiently fertile.-Rural Nelo Yorker.

4 Good Substitute for Paint

For the benefit of our readers, both in
town and country, we publish the fol-
lowing recipe for making wash for
buildings. which is said to look almost
as well as paint. We quote from the
Chemical Gazette:
"Take a clean water tight barrel, or
other suitable cask, and put into it a half
bushel Of lime. Slack it by pouring wa
ter over it. boiling hot, and in sutfi-
cient quantity to cover it five inches
deep, and stir it briskly till thoroughly
Stacked. When Stacking has been affec-
ted. dissolve in water and add two pounds
of sulphate of zine and one of common
salt. These will cause the wash to hat
den and prevent its cracking, which
gives it an unseemly appearance to the
work. If desirable, a beautiful cream
color may be communicated to the above
wash by adding three pounds of yellow
ohre; or a good pearl or lead color by the
addition of lamp. vine or ivory black.
For faWn color, add four pounds Of UNI
per-Tarkish or American, the latter is
the cheaper, one pound ofIndian red and
one pound Of common lampblack. This
wash may be applied with common
whitewash brush, and will be found
much superior, both in appearance anu
durability to common WhiteWash.

AGRICULTURAL.
1 Pc for Trees.

The most superficial observer travelling
either in England or on the con.iaent,
must have noticed the extreme care
which is taken to preserve trees and fruits
from destruction. Americans would do
We'll 10 copy after the example Of their
European neighb0rs in this matter.
Yearly and daily and hourly our mag
nffeent forests, the distinctive beauty of
an American landscape. are falling I'M
der the woodman's aXea sacrifice TO the
greed of gain. Undoubtedly enc cause
OF the different estimate of the nhabi-
tants of the two countries put upon the
value of trees is, that in old countries the
forestsarenearlvgon and must be guard
ed ifany portion of them Is saved. In
America, on the contrary, settlers never
can believe that the vast forests Will be
exhausted. The result however, is the
same. A farmer having selected his
land, at once goes to work to clear Off
the timber; and, seemingly possessed of
an uRquiet spirit urging him on, stops
not nntil he has removed nearly every
article oftke wood, often leaving his cot
tage standing alone without even tho
shelter ofa solitary tree fiery furnace
in Summer, and bare and bleak place
in Winter. Nor do the consequences
end here. The farmersoon finds the cool
ing springs, at which he was Won't to wa
ter his fl scks either drying up earlier
than usual or afiording much less water
than when he first settled the farm, and
sgnorantly attributes it to an unusual
number of droughts and " dry spells,'
instead of finding the true solution in
the ft,t that the ehief protection of the
cooling springs that formed such a prom
inent feature of attraction in causing him
to purchase was destroyed by himself
when he cut down the forests. But not

question how long they will last.-JoH.

Cniticusion o1f Orcha4.sis.

The most proper economical system
of officiating the seii OF orchards, adap-
ted to the entire life Of the trees, is a
very important horticultural question
at the present time. Various systems
are successfully practieed and strongly
advocated by ctlltivatore of wide eXpe-
rienee and MatureknawIedge. And per-
haps it is q truth that 40 single and eX-
act method can be adopted with the lar
gest success, 10 ali die varied soiss and
climates in tAae Union. The impedi-
anents to prosperous fruit growing are
hot alike in Maine, Illinois and Caiif0r-
MA, and success may not always be
achieved through similar means.
L. general, however, the best cuItisa-
ton Of orchards is that which niaintaips
the requisite fertility OF soil, keeps IS
light porous, easily perneable 70 airand
moisture, and which Injuries least The
roots OF tietrees either the largest, Which
penetrate into the subsoil, or the net less
important aibrNls roots winch spread
through evesy inch Of ground and seek
air and Warmth near the surface.
An orchard, old or young, cannot be
with either roots or cereals,
without a decreaae of fertility, unless
heavily manfred.

TRAINING CATTLE To JuMP.-A Wes-
tern farmer says he made it rule that
whenever cattle are made to pass fence
whether through bars or 'slipgap," to
leave one rail or them to pass under.
This gives them downward tendency,
in great measure, and also lessons
ther inclinations to jump or look up
wards, as they are sure to do when la
~ attendant throws down a part Of the
rails ana makes them vault the rest.
Cattle may be taught to go over any
fence by the careful training they often
get for this, and perform as follows:
First starve them or give them poor feed,
which viii make them light and restless.
As soon As they go over the lowest part
of the fence after better provenGer, make
them jump back again, and put on one
more rail, saying, guess that viii keep
diem out Next day, (as OF course they
VIII be in mischief again, repeat the
progress, adding another rail; in q short
time they will take care Of themselves,
and harvest the crops without charge.
