FRUIT GARDEN.


4 Great revolution has occurred in selecting
IL trees for planting. Bushy plants are
now sought for The shade which the side
,,-.,cbes make is considered beneficial to the
troa As to the beneficial effects Of ofcontinual
dioaing about trees, which we oppose, all cul-
tiyators are not unanimous; but most of them
now abandon it after some years; the only
difference Of opinion being how many years
after planting shall this style OF cultivating
continue? With very low branched trees
there is this advantage, that the plow or the
spade cannot approach very near the trunk.
Rich soil is however essential TO good growth
and good crops. This is the essence Of good
cultivation.
In preparing for planting trees, the soil
sbonld be stirred up at least two feet indepth.
OF course the trees should be planted in the
holes only 50 deep as they stood in the ground
before. rather higher, if any thing, as the soil
viii settle. Good common soil may be hIled
in the holes if the natural soil is very bad
but anything applied as manure may be stir
rcd in the surface e-soil after the trees are
nlapted. Some object to making deep holes
for nlantipg trees, as if the soil is stiff they
become wells, collecting water from surroun
ding soil, and rotting the roots. 1t is best to
underdrain such soils before planting. If
this cannot be done it is best to plant such
ground in the spring. The water objection is
a fatal one for fall planting ia such ground,
Trees that have long stems exposed to hot
suns, or drying winds, become what gardeners
call .'hide bo und That is, the old bark be-
comes indurated,-cannot expand, and the
tree suffers much in consequence. Such an
evil is usually indicated by grey lichens which
feed on the decaying bark. In these cases a
washing of weak lye or Of lime water is very
useful; indeed, where the bark is healthy it
is beneficial thus to wash the trees, as many
eggs of insects are thereby destroyed.
Whitewash is frequently resorted to by far
mers; but the great objection is its unsightly
appearance,-the result is otherwise good.
The great opposition to washes formerly was.
that the pores Of the lark we're closed by
them.-this was on the supposition that the
bark was alive; bat the external bark of most
trees has been dead years.befor the time Of
application; and ''the breathing" if SO the
operations of the pores can be called, is
through the creviees formed in the old bark
by the expansion of the growing tree by
bich the living bark below has chance of
contact with the air. No matter what kind
of coating is applied to the bark of a tree, it
will soon crack sufficiently by the expansion
of the trunk to permit all the breathing nee

FARMERS BOYS.

The boys catch new ideas much more read
lily than their fathers, and, with the impul-
siveness Of youth, want to test them. They
go to the fairs and see the fine stocks, the new
tools, the premium fruit and vegetables.
They read the papers, if they have them at
hoDe-if they have them not they borrow
them. People who read cannot very well
keep themselves in the dark in regard to the
changes that are coming over our husbandry.
1t the father keeps up with the times. has
agricultural papers and books, reads, thinks
ana practices, ne retains the confidence Of his
boys and can readily guide them. But if he
Is a man OF routine and keeps them in the
ruls, the boys soon become disgusted with
farming. They don't want to break their
backs over the scythe if a machine can do the
work better and at a 1.-THE of the expense.
1hey want horse rakes and horse hay.forks.
They want sub-soil plows. They want blood
ed stock in the stable aud sly. They want to
move little faster and do business on a
larger scale. The boys have the facts and
arguments on their side, and if you want to
retain them on the farm you must keep up
win the times, and make farming a live
business. The sub-soil ploEs have spoiled
the ruts for this generation.
Another thing the boys want an interest
IN the business, and the sooner YOU give them
an investment in the farm or the stock the
more likely win you be to make farmers of
them. 1t IS true the law gives you right to
the ayails of their labor until they reach their
majority 1t may be true that these services
are no more than fair COMPENSATION for the
expenses of their childhood. The inter.
course between parents and children should
not be graduated by the legal scale. Yon
