Apple Tree Suckers.

Apple Tree Suckers.
The Working Farmer says, that
many otherwise good orchards are al
lowed to become defaced, as we'll as
seriously injured, by allowing a pro-
fusion of suckers to grow at the base of
tho trunks Attempts arc sometimes
made to get rid of them by cutting
them off down to the ground, and
leaving considerable portions below in
the form of stumps. These sprout
again. and they soon become as bad
as ever. A better way is to wait un-
til they are in leaf, at which time
they arc loosencd more rapidly. and
taking each separately in the hands,
and placing n thick boot upon it near
the tree, they are quickly separated.
If done at that time they will not
be likely to sprout again.

Difficulties Attending the Cultivation of
Cotton.
The Columbus (Ga.) Sun, of tho
10th instant, in its weekly roview of
that market, says:
In the speculations concerning tho
coming crop one element seems to havo
been entirely overlooked by the cot
ton reporters, and that is the gradual
disappearance Of trained laborers.
Women have almost wholly retired
from tho fields. Former slaves havo
died or removed to the towns or alto
gcthcr from the country in considcra-
bic numbers. Few con be found who
will take tho trouble to learn the
young as correctly as they did their
slaves, and if they had the desire, the
freedman would not. observe the in
structions as we'll Hence the rising
generation will not be such efficient
workers as their parents and tho crop
will be that much shorter. Farmers
now complain that their stock are
driven hardor, cared for less, and
hence killed quicker than ever before.
Planting thus becomes more cxpen.
slve. This fact united with tho ac.
tual lessening of tho number of la
borcrs mako it very improbable
whether crop much exceeding g.
100000 bales will ever be produced.

Butler and sohenok have Another Bout,

Butler and sohenok have Another Bout.
During all the night session of the
House friday night Esays the Wash
iongton letter in the Baltimore Sun1
there was little breeze between
Generals Butler and Schenok "a part.
ing shot on each side) which momen-
tarily reused the House. The matter
grew out of the debate on the whiskey
and tobacco tax bill and insinuations
heretofore made by General Butler
and repeated on Friday night. In
reply, General Schenck used some
very pointed and bitter expressions,
He said, among other things, that he
admired an open foe, for he knew then
where to find him and what course to
pursue, but he had the utmost con.
tempt for the bastard who would nut
oh!y deliberately lie, but who, by
lhsihuating remarks, added oowardice
to'the falaehood and he thanked G cd
that his disposition did not carry him
in thut direction, aud that he never
engaged in that sort Of contest.
General Butler, who had BEEN on
one OF the lounges on the Democratic
side Of tho House, here appeared upon
the scone, and, ooolly smoking his ci-
gar, walked over to his sect. Mr..
Logan, who had also made much op-
position to the bill, asked Mr.. Srhenck
if he alluded to him. Mr.. Shenck
replied negatively. Mr.. Butler here
desired to ask question, and every
body was on the qui piue to know
what was coming. The Massachusetts
member avoided the direct question,
but asked Mr.. Schenck if he had ne.
YER read Of the Pharisee who said he
thanked God that he was not as other
men. Mr.. Schenck said he had, and
added that the gentlemen from Massa-
chusets was perfectly familiar with it
doubtless, because everything that
smacked of hypocrisy was familiar to
the gentleman, however it might
come. This created momentary
sensation, but it soon passed off, ap-
parently, although General Butler,
alluding to it afterwards, said he would
at the, proper time, show by incontro-
vertable proof that what had been
characterized as insinuations had
real foundation in fact.

says: "Experience has proved that
awearing will not make rebels loyal

that by tradition the American peo-
pie we're opposed to test oaths, but in
the excitement of war we have pushed
the oath business to extremity. We
suspect that the whole result may be
summed up in this. that our extra
oaths excluded only tho honorable
