The pleasure and profit 20 be derived
from an orchard depends upon the soil
situation, trees, varieties, proper trans
planting, and after care These are es-
sential points.
The soil should he good, and as a
rule, such as will give good corn crops,
will, with good culture, give good growth
of trees but there are varieties that ap-
pear best adapted to certain situations,
and perhaps none that will thrive equal
ly well in all Before setting out an
orchard, the planter should learn what
varieties are best adapted to his soil aud
succeed best in his neighborhood No
one region can furnish lists of varieties
to be taken as an infallible guide for the
plantingof others differently situated.
And here we see the importance of To-
cal organizations, for pomological inves-
tigation, and the great value of the ex-
perienee Of the successful orchardist, to
the new beginner.
The site or situation of an orchard, is
matter of no small moment to him who
seeks to become fruit grower.
Every one who has paid the slightest
attention to the &tion of frost on vege
tation, is aware, that even an elevation
of n few feet of one portion of the same
field above the other, frequently proves a
protection from an untimely frost
The least desirable positions for an
orchard are where the surface is spouty,
narrow valleys, bottom lands, or the
sides of little ravines.
An experience of more than twenty
years in fruit culture, has taught me that
an elevated, dry and good soil, that will
produce firm, we'll matured growth, is
the best and | would prefer northern
or western slope.
Let the whole plot of ground, intended
for your orchard, be plowed as deep as
possible, say twelve to fourteen inches,
then narrowed thoroughly.
In marking off my ground use
chain, and find lath to be the cheapest
and best stake to mark the place whe A |
wish the tree to stand. The proper u
tanee Tor planting apple trees Is generally
conceded to be thirty feet, yet | set my
last planting at twenty FIVE feet
As to the season for planting, | pre-
fer the fall, say from the last OF October,
and till the ground freezes up. But if
| wait till spring, plant at the earliest
possible moment But no matter how
favorable the site, how good the soil, nor
how thorough the preparation may have
been, all may be spoiled by bad seIec-
ton of trees, and disappointment will be
f'fwork Of destruction is hall accomplished.
In consequence of this early strain upo
her system, unnecessary effort is require
e by the delicate votary to retain her sit'.s :
tion in such at later day, thus aggrayal
ing the evil. When one excitement is owe,
. another in prospective keeps the mind ms
bidly sensitive to Impressions, while
now constant restraint of fashionable dres
absolutely forbidding the exercise ind{.

early marriage caps the climax of misery
and the unfortunate one, hitherto so utterl

an unwilling subject of medical treatmen
This is but n truthful picture of the exper
ence of thousand of young women.
Long before the ability to exercise th
functions of the generative organs, they rt
quire an education of their peculiar ner'
ous system, composed OF what is called th
tissue, which is, in common with the fl
male breast and lips, evidently under tn
control of mental emotions and association
ut al early period of life and, as we sha
subsequently see, these emotions, when e1
ccssive, lead, long before puberty, to habii
which sap the very life of their victims er
nature has self-completed their develop
ment.
