The Distance Apart for Orchard
Trees.

The Horticulturist thinks that trees are
generally placed too far assunder in or,
chards. In the apple and pear orchards
we have been taught to place the first
from 35 to 40 feet apart, and the latter
25 to 80, thus subjecting the trees to all
the terrible burning heat of the suns
rays in summer, and to stand alone, as it
were, and brave the storms of winter
and spring.
The editor says he has ''long been i'm
pressed with the view that these old ad
vices of distances were erroneous, and
our readers will bear us witness that we
have before now advised aclose planting,
and as break also and aid towards
shielding our fruit trees, the intermin-
Cling, more or less of evergreens, in the
orchard.
"Were we to plant an apple orchard
to-day, we think we should set our trees
10 by Is feet, and if standard pears 10
by 10 feet, dwarf pears by s feet, and
we would use occasionally an evergreen
tree of some hardy variety, in the place
of a fruit tree"

That blessed kingdom for thy saints the choice,
How vile to come to thee is all our cry,
Enemies to thy self and ali that's thine,
Graceless our aotR, we live for vanity,
Loathing thy very being, e0il in design,
o God, thy will be done from earth to heaven;
Reclining on the Gospel let us live
In earth from sin delirer-ed and forgiven

Unless its power temptation doth destroy,
Sure is our fall into the depths Of woe,

Shine on as with thy love and give us peace,
Self and this sin that rise against us slay.
Oh! grant each day opr trespass-es may cease,
Forgive our evil deeds that oft we do,
Convince us daily of them to our shame.
Help us with heavenly bread, torgise us, too,
Recnrrent lusts, and oe'n adore thy name,
In thy .(0ryice-ness we as saints can die,
Since for Us and our trespasses SO high,
Thy Son, our Savior, bled on Calvary.
