On RenOyating old Orchards.

DR.. Warder, who has become a STAN
dard authority on most subjects con-
nected with Horticulture, says: A
question frequently arises as to the
best course to be pursued with an old
neglected orchard, which has become
covered with a dense sod of grass, and
this often Of an inferior character, and
full of disagrecable weeds. Orchards
that have been widely planted, and
which have gaps from the decay of
trees, especially when these have been
trimmed up with high stems and long,
naked branches, do not cast sufficient
shade upon the ground to prevent the
growth of grass and weeds. These in
truders occupy the surface soil to the
disadvantage of the roots of the fruit
trees, and we may wonderfully improve
the health of such orchards by plOw-
ing the ground, and a. the same time
severely pruning the branches and
cleansing the bark of these old trees.
These good results may be continued
by shallow culture of the soil. with
suitable applications OF manure where
needed. By giving a dose of lime, or
mari and ashes, we shall infuse a new
life and growth and productiveness
that will astonish and delight US, and
reward us for our labor and outlay.
1t may be urged as an objection to
breaking up the sod that the most
careful plowman will unavoidably
damage some of the roots that APP
proach the surface, but this is an in
jury that must be submitted to, and
after all it is not such a serious affair,
and is overbalanced by the advantages
of renewing the productiveness of the
exhausted orchard"
With all proper defense to the u
thority, we should be very careful in
blowing an old orchard that had re-
manned in sod some years, particular
ly when the soil is shallow, and rest
ing upon a compact clay subsoil. We
once adopted the plan and came very
near total obstruction. When the soil
is left u~ndisturbed the roots tend to
run out lateraly near the surface of
the ground, aud if these are cut off
suddenly the shock to the tree will
many times prove nearly or quite fatal.
Proper aud judicious trimming,
cleansing and manuring we would adj
wise by all means; a heavy top dress
ing of barn yard manure and ashes is
of imperious necessity and should be
promptly given. Afterwards, then, we
would rather trust the surface to a
hogs snout than the cutting share of
a steel pillow.

FARMERS
A New Sugar Cane.

The Department of Agriculture is
in the receipt from japan OF a sample
of sugar cane. somewhat resembling
sorghum, for propagation and testing
in this climate. It is cut in sections
of three joints, one of which is plant
ed in a hill, thus growing from layers
instead of seed. 1t was forwarded By
Thomas Hogg, an officer of this Gov
eminent at Yokohama, who deems it
worthy Of trial in this climate. He
says it is extensively grown there,
especially on the island of Kinsin, and
thinks it will succeed here wherever
Indian corr comes to maturity. 1t is
thought that the popularity Of its
propagation, should it prove other
wise successful, would give it an i'm
portant advantage over sorghum, pre-
venting hibridizing with millets. and
consequent deterioration. A large
portion of it was destroyed in the long
voyage, but enough is sound, and al
ready sprouting, to enable the Depart
ment, a year or two hence, to make a
distribution of it.-Er.

man must do it-not a man of mere
accomplishments or learning-but one
versed in the business he writes upon.
1t is thus that we have books by the
best men in all departments. These
men make lIterature-and to be op-
posed to them, is to be arrayed against
knowledge, against schools and news
papers. What is thought of, the

what is education, but TO learn
to know a thing? IF the preju-
diced reader (prejudiced against
book farming) knows how to trim his
vine, be is the man, if he has words
for it, to write a book on the subject
the very man we want, for we are
after facts, after the best mode? And
yet this would be called "book-farm-
ing" 1t is mere prejudice. depend
upon it.
But there is one evil which gives
rise to this very prejudice; bad books
are foisted on the public. These are
read-and they lead into error; and
forthwith good and bad are condemn
ed.
Our best men certainly are not the
fools. Our able men. who lead in
their departments, are men qualified,
if any, to impart instruction. Shall
we heed them? or shall we follow af-
ter our own half-formed. inexperi-
enced notions? We have our preju-
dices, and they make us believe we
are right, without consulting the facts
of the case.-Rur0l World.

Pretty Poor Practices.

Cosmos" who edits the rural
column OF the Saturday Ecening Post,
thus enumerates a list of pretty poor
practices:
1t is pretty poor practice for a farm
err to dig and delve, tug and grub, and
clear up fifty acres of land at a cost of
$1,000, and then in the third year sur
render about a fifth Of it to the briars,
and OK eye daisies.
Poor practice to half manure half
pillow, half seed and half cultivate a
field, and then harvest from it less
than half a crop.
To keep two inferior, scranay, scrub
cows. for dairy purposes, that give
less milk than one good one, and con-
sumo more food than three.
To purchase in town five hundred
loads of livery stable manure, and
suffer six hundred of homemade ma
nure to run to waste.
To atttemp to fatten three hogs into
twelve hundred pounds of pork on
just as much feed as would keep two
nicely growing.
To estimate agricultural fairs as ar
rant humbugs, and spend three days
every month saving the country at
political meetings.
To depend upon borrowing your
neighbours rakes, mowers, and all
sorts of implements in haying and
harvest time.
To house up a thousand bushel of
grain, waiting for a rise. till one-tenth
has gone to feed rats and mice, and
the remainder smells like the essense
of rat, and the price is down 40 per
cent.
To plant out an orchard of choice
fruit trees with a first thought of
moneymaking, and leave them to do
or die.
To keep two fancy $500 carriage
horses and pay IS a day for a team to
pillow.
It is positively a poor practice to
cali book larnin' all bosh. TO ignore
news and agricultural papers, and at
tempt to keep UP an eve yoke with
your progressive neighbors by main
strength and stupidness.

The Company is also permitted to issue

the United States being subordinate to them.
The Government makes a donation of

S30,0 200, 900, making the total resources, ex-

BELGIAN DoGs.--The dogs OF Belgium
perform so important part in the everyday
traffic Of the city, being, in fact, the "beast
OF burden" of the common people, that we
cannot omit briei notice of them. All the
milk used in Antwerp is brought hither in
dog-carts, filled with rows OF large shining
brass cans, which arc conveyed from house
to house until Their contents are exhausted;
then the milk woman supplies the absence
of the weight of the lacteal fluid with her
own substantial person, and the little team
goes Jogging homeward TO the country.
| These carts are sometimes OF very con-
siderable size, and may be seen filled with
barrels, or bundles of wood, under which
circumstances the motive power is increased
to six OF seven dogs, three and four abreast,
Juggling and pulling at their great burden,
their poor little bodies swaying to and fro in
their efforts, and their general appearance
and expression-ior dogs have expressive
faces-excilinG the sympathies OF every hui
name person. When overcome by fatigue,
hunger and thirst, they lie down in harness
and resolutely refuse to move until they are
fed; an instance OF which we had an oppor-
tunlty of witnessing one evening as we were
riding on the Longchamps. A laden team
was coming in from the country 10 attend
q the next days market, when, just as we were
+ passing, most pitieous howl broke from
G one of the dogs, which was echoed by the
d others, and all stood still in the middle OF
d the road, some crouching on their haunches
~ and some prostrating themselves on the
10 ground, with their tongues lolling from then
,e heated mouths. The man who had them in
y charge cracked his whip in vain, and ther
finding all efforts useless, embarrassed them
le when, in an instant, the whole line bounded
N down the grassy bank OF the rampant, ant
plunged into the cool water of the moat
Here they stood for some moments refresh
lg ing their heated bodies, catching att the waite
y, with their mouths, and seeming 10 toss
ri- above their heads, when shTill, prolonged
n whistle from their master caused them IL
OF rush suddenly upthe bank, and ere long tn
of team appeared again in sight, trotting meE
ed ulyonward toward the bridge. Their owner
an on the occasion OF their hungry demands
ny supplies them with pieces of coarse brow
tx bread, which he carries on the cart, and
ed is a common sight to see him standing i
to front of his team, dcalngt to one and anothe
5h, the moulhGul which they eagerly devour.-
