SETTING OUT AN ORCHARD.


Mn. EDITOR. In your issue of April
lst, is communication from 9. S. b.,
who seems to have an idea that setting
trees standard apple) two or three times
as close as is commonly done, will bring
corresponding results. IIo proposes to
set his trees l5 feet apart, Instead of 40,
which will take seven times as mary
trees, instead of two and a halt times, as
he has it. | agree with him that it is
useless to cucumber the ground II or l5
years tor half crop or less, when it is
just as easy to have full crop. Neither
would l wish to wait l5 years for an
object if conld attain it in seven; but
apple trees don't bear full crop in
seyen years. My orchard has been out
16 years and has never had full crop.
Your correspondent reasons thus eff |
plant 40 trees, when they bear a bushel
each | shall have but 40 bushels; but a
hundred treess will give hundred
bushels, and when large enough to
yield five bushels each, 40 trees will give
200, and 100 trees 500 bushels" lie
also proposes to thin out his trees when
they begin TO crowd. II his trees grow
Ike nine did, he will have to commence
thinning out in about seven years, or if
he left it until lie got from one to five
bushels to tree, they would be grown
70 tall as to defy all after pruning to get
them IN a proper shape. 1t is the nature
of trees to grow upward if they are in
the least crowded, and in Is years l
fancy his orchard would resemble a
young forest. And would they bear
enough apples to remunerate the orchar-
dist for his time and ground if they
were thus crowded together and depriv-
ed Of sufficient light? think not
Now. | would set out trees not less
than 40 feet apart each way, and before
they came into bearing, or had attained
large size, would plant the. 6! ound
with corn or other crops, not having it
in with grass, and thus get crop of
grain instead of apples, which would
benefit both the farmer and his orchard.
In cullivaling the ground for other
crops the trees would receive sufficient
cultivation, and would come INTO bearing
nearly, if not quite as soon, as if the
ground was exclusively to the trees -
But il the trees were planted as close as
Is feet, they would grow too high ard
would bear inferior crops, and would
thus cause the owner disappointment. Or,
if they should do as we'll as he supposes,
hs would think it pity to cut down
such fine trees, and would probably let
them stand until all were injured by
crowdiug. Pear trees however, would
bear more crowding than apple trees
owing to the nature Of pears to grow
upward NOR than laterally, but l would
not set them closer than 20 by 80 feet,
Imay be mistaken in my views of the
matter, and therefore l would be gratiti>
by having the opinion Of others, as |
believe it is the duty of those who have
information to impart it for the public
good -RNrdl american.

CLEANLINESS OF SWINE.

In one respect, farmers commonly
show the worst Of their management
in fattsning hogs These animals ap.
preciate cleanliness, yet their owners
make them live in dirt, and then charge
them with'a natural fondness for filth
This is oppression and SANDER combined.
Every person familiar with their habits,
knows that when clean straw beds and
other comforts are given them, they are
scrupulous to keep them clean. When
shut up in narrow pen, where they
must eat, sleep, and live in one appart>
ment, they cannot but be uncomfortable;
and such condition greatly retards
their thriving. A "hog pen" has be-
come proverbially repulsive place; this
is the owners fault, and should never be
suffered. There is no reason why it
should not be clean, and even attractive.
We hear farmers who raise grain say
that they have more straw than they can
sometimes use, willie at the same
moment their hogs have not enough OF
it to make q dry and clean bed.
Animals can never thrive we'll unless
kept clean. Every one knows that a
we'll groomed horse is better than a
neglected one, with n shabby coat
Nearly the same result has been found
when this treatment is applied to swine.
Lot every manager lay down this rule,
that a hog pen should neOer be distinguish
ed Iy its odor t,ceNy feet d'sta1t The
sleeping apartments should be separate,
and kept perfectly clean and dry, The
other portion should be daily cleaned
out, and the manure at once mixed with
muck, loan, coal ashes &c, to make
compost and destroy the odor, which is
As injurious to the health of swine to
breathe as it is to human beings. 1t is
not necessary that a piggery should cost
five hundred dollars hat it may be kept
in splendid order; cheap and simple
structure may be subjected TO the most
perfect system Of cleanliness. The
satisfaction it will afford the owner, the
comfort to the occupant, and the profits
to tho purse, will be a three fold compen-
iation.
