Tree and Orchard Planting: Season
Management Of Trees.

More orchard trees will have been
set by tho close Of this planting sea-
son than for any two preceding years,
being q result of O general confidence
in the country for certain well tried
kinds of fruit trees, and an improved
management of orchards.
1t is claimed, with perhaps much
truth, that certain kinds of apple
trees do better than others. Such
kinds have been preferred and largely
purchased this year. Also, seedlings
are preferred by many experienced
orchard men.
As to the management of orchards,
July pruning of young trees, care
being taken to not apply the knife
to the tops of trees during the fall,
winter or spring months, and faith
full correction of all imperfectly torm>
ed crotches. are the main essentials.
We think that location and kind
Of soil may influence trees for bet
ter or worse. Southern inclinations
of land are unfavoia able northern
exposures are certainly the best,
But trees should always be set on
dry, or we'll drained lands ; and we.
think that high lands, and rather
barren soils are surer, though not
bringing trees to bearing and large
size so early as rich soils. In Ger
many whore apple orchards di well
ut two hundred years OLD, trees do
not bear till twe2ty years old and
upward. The under soils of that
country are not halt SO tat as in ours,
and the growth of wood but half as
great. If You have high, north ex.
posed, barren piece Of land, set the
same apart for an orchard.
Our orchard of several thousand
trees shows all the items of manage,
ment which we designate as success
| full improvements, and every tree ex-
hibits perfect health as a result of
our treatment for some years. We
say, perfect health, and invite orchard
men to examine it and report make
for the public good. Further, so far
as we can learn from the many who
have practiced our treatment of trees,
ia every case the method is unex-
ceptionably approved. The Lancas.
ter Nursery also. IN which we own
no interest whatever except in the
land, has been pruned regularly &C,
cording 10 our method, and more
healthy trees cannot be found in the
United States.

The vice-prlneIpsls of the grammar
schools of New York City gravely re-
solved, at a meeting held a day or two
ago, that it Is inexpedient to abolish
corporal punishment in their schools.
The boys and girls may therefore look
for lively applications OF the ferule.
Flogging is not, perhaps, the best
method of stimulating intellectual ac-
tivity, and inasmuch as 1t is now re-
garded as too brutalizIng even for ma
val practice, It may be doubted whether
such physical punishment is really
good for children. But these solemn
old-time New York teachers think diff
ferently.
