ALBERT PIKE, who was u General in
the rebel army, and is the editor of the
Memphis appeal, an organ of the lost
cause" has better appreciation of
General Sheridan than his political
brethren OF the North. Speaking of
General Grants protest against the re-
moval of Sheridan, he says:
ave have rarely read anything that
said as much In few words, as the let
ter we are considering; and there is
more contained III the short sentences
about Sheridan than in any other equal
number ofwords in the letter. Its un-
eduivoral endorsement of General
SheridRn's act does not surprise us
for, after all, we do not see the rea-
son or Justice of much of the per-
soual vituperation OF that officer by the
press. AT the commencement of the
war he was, we believe, Second
Lieutenant. At any rate, he was so
not long before, and stationed in Ore
gon; and we know from an officer who
was then in his command, that out OF
his scanty pay he managed to send
money regularly to his mother and
sister, who, we suppose, needed it tor
their support. Since we heard that we
have not felt like abusing him, even
when consuming his acts as arbitrary.
AS he could have had no influential
friends to help him to rise in the SER
vice, it Is to be supposed that he rose
by merit to the rank of Major General.
1t is not for those against whom he
fought to depreciate his services. Let
us leaYs that for the carrion crows OF
faction in the North to do by and by,
when he stands in the way of their
profit or preferment."

AGRICULTURAL.


The orchard should be just as much
subject for cultivation as any other
part of the farm. BY cultivating an
orchard we do not mean the growing OF
crops in it; but on the contrary, the
giving up of the soil exclusively to the
trees, and yearly tOp-dressing it with
muck, leaEmold and carbonaceous
matter generally.
To select a favorable site, to thor
oughly prepare the soil TO purchase
none but the best of trees, to plant
them in the most careful and approved
manner, together with pruning, train
ing and low branching, are necessary
requisites; but the subsequent enrich
ing of the soil at intervals must not be
neglected. Fruit trees draw their nour-
ishment from the soil, and it Is just as
necessary 10 the perfection OF frult TO
Keep up the supply OF nourishing ele-
ments in the soil of the orchard as II Is
necessary in the soil of the field.
In our estimation, the raising of field
crops in the orchard is an absurd and
Injurious fallacy. No man likes TO do
double physic duty; and 70 attempt TO
make given acre yield crop OF APP
pies and crop of corn or wheat IN the
same year. whilst not directly in oppo-
sition to the law in physics that Two
things cannot occupy the same space
at the same time, is an attempt at
something almost like it so far as
the elements of plant life are
concerned. 1t will invariably be
failure, resulting in one or both
of the crops falling short in quantity
and quality. Why do we assiduously
try to keep our strawberry beds free
from weeds ? Because we are afraid
the weeds will rob the strawberries of
the elements necessary to fruit Perfec,
tion. Why then crop our orchards and
look for a full yield OF ripe, delicious
apples ? It is folly to expect it. We
have changed the eliminntiye power
As well might we cram our heads with
the "learued lumber OF pedantry" by
taking out our brains to make room
tor II.
team; they are more liable TO be blown
over or 10 lean ''deviously." In order
to get under the trees with the horses,
they are trimmed "up higher" and
when the trunks of apple trees are
high and exposed to the scorching rays
OF the sun, the sap becomes heated and
the frui; sickly. Apple trees should not
be trained high-the storms have less
effect, the rays of the sun will not lay
on the trunk and the fruit will be fair
er. In the month OF August the apple
makes it's main growth. Then it Is
that it most needs that moisture and
sap which the field crop is lRvishly rob-
bing it Of Your Baldwins and Pippins
are both small and dwhr'lSh, you won
der why SO many are dropping and
dropping.
We know that this matter of crop
ping orchards is mOOted question;
that while grain crops are generally ac-
kuowledged to be injurious, many con-
slider root crops beneficial. Probably
the reason the latter are beneficial Is
because they require so much manure
10 make them profitable. We would
like to hear from some of our cores
pondents on this question, as our re-
marks have been made with that view
as much as any other.-EdT'H and Ere.

In an article on Inequalities of milk.

MILK.
In an article on Inequalities of milk,
etc, DIR. Voelcker says:
"Generally sdeaking, small races, or
small Individuals of the larger races,
give the richest milk from the same
Kind OF food. Where good quality is
the main object, Alderneys and Guern-
seys uuquestionably are the cows that
ought to be kept, for they give a richer
cream than any other kind in common
use in this country; but, of course, AL
derneys are not the most profitable
stock for cow-keepers in towns, with
whom the Yorkshire cow, essentially a
Shorthorn, is the favorite breed, as 1t
surpasses all others for the quantity II
yields. This milk, however, compared
with that of the Alderney or Ayrshire
COW, is more watery and less rich in
butter, and therefore not well suited
for dairies in which butter and cheese
are made. In the spring of the year
and the early part of summer, milk is
more abundant and the butter made
from it of finer favor. As soon as
the season advances the supply dimin-
ishes, but becomes richer in butter.
The influence of food on the quality OF
milk is very striking. A half-starved
cow not only yields utlittle milk, but
what il yields is miserably poor. On
the other hand, the liberal supply of
food, rich in heterogeneous and phos-
phatlc elements OF nutrition, tells di-
rectly on the milk. Nothing, there
fore, can be more injudicious than to
stint dairy cows in food"

When Autumn days come, Nature,
like a retired merchant, changes its
manner from thrift and busting indus
try to languid leisure and to ostenta-
tatious luxury. The sun rises later and
sets earlier than when 1t had all the
Summers crops on hand, and was
playing universal husbandman. There
is no nest building now, and no bird
slnging-which is purely domestic
arrangement, designed on the birds
part 10 keep peace in the family while
the children are being raised, and laid
aside as soon as the young birds are OF
their hands. Mornings come feeced in
mists. which hang over streams and
low, moist places. The sun plays with
them. but they perish in his arms. a
few belated flowers yet keep watch, but
chiefly the asters, which fringe the
fields, star the edges OF forests,
and, like late. conner at IA feast,
seem bent upon making up for lost
time. AT night, crickets and katy. dds
scrape their shrilI viols, and I'LL The air
with stridplous music. Over all the
shrinking fields, the trees LIT up their
gorgeous foliage, and, like those who
wait for the marriage-bell and the
bridegroom, they shine out in glorious
apparel. Fr- L Es
The bills, forest-clad, are become the
Lords younger sons, and like Joseph,
Iney are uEesseu III Soat VI many Sot-
ors. October days, short between hori-
IONS, reach higher into the vault than
any days of the year: and through
them the sea, on seems to look with
softened sadness, as one who, in the
calm of age, meditates on all the mis-
takes of his past life and solemnly
thinks upon the advancing future
Along the fence rows, where seeds and
late berries may be found, birds hop
silently, as If ashamed TO be seen. Soon
they will change their solitary ways
and collect in flocks. To-day the fields
will swarm with them tomorrow,
there will not be one left, and they will
be picking their food many degrees of
latitude South.

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST EARLY BCRI-
ALs.-ReY. DIR. Bellows, writing from
Nuremburg, says. in the cemetery there
is a house, pleasantly arranged amid
fiower-beds and shrubs, to which all
the dead are at once carried alter being
laid out, and there placed on beds, each
with bell-pull so connected with the
hand that the least motion of the sup
posed corpse on revivipg must arouse
the attendant and bring instant atten-
tion. All this humane precaution has
never yet been rewarded With Al single
call upon its watchfulness. Once, how
ever, in a'case where the deceased had
died of dropsy, the subsistence of water
caused fall of the arm-the bell rang,
and the attendant who had watched for
years for the sound, when it came. was
so frightened that he'ran from his post
and alarmed the neighbors, who, after
some time, rallied and discovered the
cause Of the alarm. This method OF
guarding against premature burial is
quite common on the continent, but he
thinks it not worth adopting in Amer
ica-though we commonly bury much
too early FOR decency. Ht
