Plant an Orchard.

No matter whether your farm is small
or large, don't rest content until you have
an orchard of fruit-trees. "We do not
advise farmers indiscriminately, says The
Countryman, "to undertake to raise fruit
for market. Each one should judge for
himself as to the feasibility of such an
enterprise. But we do say to every farmer,
raise fruit, or try to do so, at least for the
use of your own family. 1t will largely
pay in pleasure and in health, if you never
sell dollars worth. In selecting varieties
choose those kinds that usually do well in
your locality. Deal, if possible, with relia-
bic fruit tree dealers, rather than with
agents who are strangers to you. And
don't set out an orchard under the delusion
that setting out the trees will be about all
the work that will be necessary. In this
day of many enemies to fruit and fruit
tres, it may be said that eternal vigilance is
the price of fruit. Land devoted to fruit
trees need not be worthless to the owner
Some valuable crops can be raised in the
orchard almost until the trees become old
enough to bear; and by the time they reach
bearing age, in this case, there will proaba-
bly, be market close enough. But, as We
said above, if you never sell a dollar s
worth of fruit your orchard assuredly will,
if properly attended to, pay you and your
family, in health and comfort, for all your
1ohor and aynonse ,,

Mulching Newly.Planted Trees.

We have found mulching to be of decided
benefit to recently -transplanted trees of all
kinds, and especially to deciduous trees
It should be applied before the sun becomes
hot and the ground dry and begins to bake
say early in May. Various applications
are used-some apply fine shavings, saw
DUST spent tan, grass, and even charcoal
We have used almost exclusively grass, and
think it answers as well as any other. But
it should be renewed two or three times
during the season, and the soil stirred. 1t
keeps the soil around the trees moist and
cool, and prevents the growth of weeds.
Evergreens can also be mulched with
benefit, though we do not think they de-
mand it to an equal extent, as their dense,
low foliage answers pretty well as substi-
tute. The ground, however, should be fire.
quently stirred around them. We have
never lost an evergreen, and think there
are upon our premises some pretty fair
specimens. We never mulched any tree
after the first season, unless it looks little
':under the weather"
.-.-..-.. Germantown Telegraph.
RANGE FOR HENs.-The following is
from 4 report before the Bristol, Massachu-
sets, Agricultural Society: ''Perhaps there
is no greater or more common blunder
made by the inexperienced, than in the
estimate they make of the space required
for flock of poultry. Not less than half
an acre of ground at the very least-and of
this two-thirds should be in grass-is suffi-
cient to keep flock Of twelve in perfect
health the year round. An advantage
would be gained by giving even more than
this Yet how often do we see hocks of
thirty OF forty confined during the whole
year to a space hardly one-half of this
To keep flock of such a size in health, it
is no test even if they thrive the first sea-
son, in such limited quarters. The second
or third season, at most, roup and verinin
will begin to make their inroads, and after
losing half of his young broods, the farmer
concludes that raising chickens does not
pay-and it ought not to, under such bad
management

Coal AsHEs.-During recent visit at
the residence of Robert J. Swan. of Geneva.
n. Y, says the Cultirator and Country
Gentleman, he informed us that he had
kept his currant bushes entirely free of the
currant worm by the use of coal ashes.-
He applies them in spring by covering the
ground about each bush four or five inches
deep or more, and for a distance of two feet
on each side. The mechanical sharpness
Of the ashes prevents the soft Larvae from
rising through them. Although the season
Of fruit had passed when we saw the bush
es, they showed great thriftiness, and unin-
jurcd leaves.
The same application was used about the
ounce, with equal success. for excluding
the borer-the ashes being in the form of
small heaps about the stems. From twelve
bushes, he gathered this year sixteen bush
els of very fine ounces.

away very fast" The recipe is certainly
worth trying.

too hard too crack in the cold winds of
spring, or soft to run in the hot suns of
summer. 1t isa good way to supervise the
gratis once or twice during the season, and
re-wax any of them which may have crack
