| am induced to give you another chap
ter Of my experience in Northern prison
pens, principally for the reason that tales
R0f questionable integrity are being circu-
lated in the newspapers, and other more
enduring forms, of the horrible sufferings
of Federal soldiers in Southern camps Of
detention. / cannot tell what others suf-

was occasioned by the impOssibility of
procuring provisions; but of one thing |
am certain, that more wantOn or purpose
less cruelty never was committed upon
human beings by their own flesh and
blood than was wreaked for many long
months upon the pitiablejnmates of Camp
Douglas. .-.
Every Southern soldier was thoroughly
educated into the true soldierly accom-
plishment of performing the greatest pos
sible amount of hard marching and hard
fighting upon the smallest possible guam
tity of rations. This was a necessity of
Confederate war policy in a desperate
struggle against a nation which carried in
one hand the red sword of conquest and
IN the Other the blazing torch Of devasta-

Col. Ii. Howlands Of Chicago writes
thus to the Western Rural" in regard to
this excellent breed OF fowls. After six
years experience with this breed Of fowls
we are convinced there is nOne more
hardy profitable aud in all respects more
desirable. A. G..
The Dominique fowl, wherever bred is
acknowledged to be m of the best,
hardest and most beautiful Of all known
varieties and | cannot understand why,
as a distinct and valuable breed, they
are so often almost entirely ignored by
writers on poultry, unless it be that they
were so generally introduced and bred all
over the country, before other varieties
were known here, that many have been
led to regard them as a common, or barn
door" fowl and yet, few varieties retain
their identity and general characteristics
so long and fully as the beautiful old
Dominiques.
Their origin is not certainly known.yet
our best authorities believe them natives
of France. In size they are above the
medium, with large, full breast, bodies
deep, compact and plump, closely resem-
bling, in general style and appearance,
the well known Dorkings; while they
are much more hardy, are better layers,
and are hardly surpassed as . table
fowl.
In my experience l have found them
the equal ofthe Brahmas as winter layers
and surprising that famed variety as
layers during the warmer season. They
may have either single or rose combs
small wattles, with q full, bright eye, and
clean legs; they are very active and
strong, yet quite domestic in their habits
and are most excellent settlers and moth.
ers. Their plumage is a light gray
grounn, each feather beieg barred cross
wise with a dark slaty blue, giving them
a very beautiful appearance. The late
G. n. Bement, Esq. says Of them take
them all in ALL we do not hesitate to
pronounce them one Of the best and most
profitable of fowls, being hardy, good
layers, careful nurses and affording cx-
cellent eggs and first quality of flesh

Cultivation Of Fruit Trees.

The distance at which trees should be
planted in an apple orchard, depends
upon the mode in which they are to be
treated, When it is desired finally to
cover and devote the whole ground to the
trees, many Of our best fruit raisers think
20 feet apart is the proper interval, but
where the farmer wishes to keep the land
between the trees in grain and grass,thir.
ty feet is not too greata distance in strong
soils.
But we think % feet apart is the dis
lance at which apple trees should be
planted. The ground should be we'll pre-
pared, and yigoroush, ealthy, young trees
should be selected.
On most soils it is best not to dig any
holes, but to set the trees on the top Of
the ground and bring tho dirt up high
around about the roots to cover them
vel, they then should be carefully mulch.
ed, and a large portion, say two thirds Of
the last seasons growth cut back. When
this is done the tree will be much larger
in two years than when they are left with
all their tops entire, as well as the probi.
lity Of loss much lessened.
As there is much difference in the nat.
ural, shape, and size Of the different sorts
o. apples las well as other fruit,) those OF
the same kind should be planted together,
this will facilitate not only their culture,
but the gathering the fruit and will add
10 the natural and orderly appearance oil
the orchard.
1t is an Indispensable requisite, in all
young orchards, to keep the ground mel,
low and loose by cultivation at least, foi
the first few years, until the trees arr
well established. Indeed, two adjoining
orchards, one planted and kept in grass
and the other ploughed for the first five
years, there will be an incredible differ,
enc in favor Of the latter. Not only
will these trees show rich, dark luxuriant
foliage, and clean smooth stems, while
those neglected will have a starved anG
sickly look, but the size Of trees in tn,
cultivated orchard will be treble that o
the others at the end of this time, and ,
tree in one win be ready to bear al
abundant crop before the other has com
menced yielding a peck of good fruit
Fallow crops are the best for orchards
potatoes, beets, carrots, bush beans, anC
the like but, whatever crops may b.
grown, it should constantly be born
in mind that the roots of the tree requir,
the sole occupancy of the ground so ia
as they extend, and therefore that Al
area Of more than the diameter of tn
head of the tree, should be kept clean o
crops, weeds, and grass.
