Flowing up old Orchards.

A question frequently arises as to
the best course to be pursued with an
old neglecte i orchard, which has be-
come covered with a dense sod of
grass, and this often of an inferior
character, and full of disagreeable
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 bran
ches, do not cast sufficient shade upon
the ground to prevent the growth of
grass and weeds. These intruders
occupy the surface soil to the disad-
vantage Of the roots of the fruit trees
and we may wonderfully improve the
health of such orchard by plowing the
ground, and at the same time severe.
" pruning the branches and cleans
ing 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 dose of lime,
/ or mari and ashes, we shall infuse a
new life and growth and productive
ness that will astonish and delight us.
and reward us for our labors and out
lay.
1t may be urged as an objection to
breaking up the sod, that the most
careful plowman will lunavoidably
damage some of the roots that ap-.
proach the surface, but this is an in
jury that must be submitted to; and
after all it is not such serious affair
and IS oyer-balanced by the advan,
tages of renewing the productiveness
of theexhausted orchard.- Warder's

Plain Talk to Farmers.

The Hon. James w. Wall, of New
Jo~sav has written an interesting
ort;cIs headed as above to the Farm
a,,g Hyeside, from which we extract
as follows:
The legislation of the past has done
comparatively very little for the agN
ricuitural interests of the State
This omission has mainly grown out
of the neglect and indifference of the
classes most injured by it. The past
YOU cannot redeem; but the future is
with you-the men of the plow. the
men of toll, the cultivators of the soil
YOUR own; you can, with the awakened
mower which has so long slumbered
within you, mould and shape, and di-
rect the future legislation of our
State as you choose. The hammer
of Odin is in your hands land as the
stroke of that of the Teutenic mythol-
ogyis said to have produced convul-
sions on tbs earth's surface, so polite
al power in your grasp, if welded in
high and holy purpose, will shake
terribly the inert, useless legislation
which has so long cursed our State
When l think of your numbers in the
land, your immense power in every
township and district, | honestly be-
lieve that by perfect concentration
of action, your strength would be
greater than all the industrial persuits
combined. Butnow urpower seems
to be like that of the elephant in the
menagerie. The politicians use you
and abuse you-they pierce you with
sharp goads, and ride upon your
trunks with impunity. Whereas, if
you we're once fully alive to the fact
Of your real power, how you could
crush them at a single blow, or tram
pie them as dust beneath your feet.
Now, upon you, the farmers of the
country, depends a correction of the
evils that have thus grown up in the
Legislative history Of the country -
Crafty politicians call you the bone
and sinews of the land, and you are
TO them all this, for they make you
hewers Of wood and dra wers of wa
er, to assist in all their scheme es.'

such ipsolent violence, that the merchants
pride took, fire, and he scruplcd not to break
Oft the engagement. Having done this, and
received Saidas grateful thanks for so doing,
he ,assdrcd her that now he would find for her

But,tle smile came not back to her lin, nor
the rose to her check; and the grieved father
saw; bis ONCE blooming child daily wasting be-
fore his eyes from some unknown and uncx
planned disease. One day, when talking on
this subject with his wife, she found courage to
say to him:
$50 my, husband, be not angry but know
you not that Saida is dying of love for Abdal-
lab, who saved hor life from tho lion! If you
refuse your consent, or give her to another,
she will soon be i'll her grave d i
