Preparing the Soil for Apple Trees,

Few soils in their natural state are In q
suitable condition for the reception OF
apple-trees. New land is certainly far
preferable to that which Is old and par.
TALLY or wholly worn out, but neither are
in proper condition for an orchard, and
some thorough system of preparation
should be applied to them before being
used for fruit-trees. The method of pre-
pairing soils should be varied according to
their nature, if naturally deep and rich,
then good, deep blowing is all that will
be absolutely necessary. But those per
sons who are about planting q young or
chard should not forget that years of time
NAV be gained by bestowing little extra
care at the start, and that trees in thor
oughly prepared soil VIII be as far ad-
yanced In five years as those which re-
ceiye but ordinary care will be in ten.
All soils, whether new or old, rich or

There are soils which do not require

them out of the list under consideration
at this time We will suppose, for in

apple orchard this spring upon soil that is

plying any fertilizing materials whatever;
and, further, we will suppose that he
knows enough about apple-trees not to
plant them in q swamp, or in ground so
stony that it cannot be cultivated neither
will we expect him to turn over an old sod
that has not been plowed for years, and
use such land for an orchard until the

Wheat on Clover Ground.

PROFESSOR VoxLcKER, in q valuable
report recently published IN the JournG
Royal Agrieulturas Society, England ar
rives at the following conclusions:
!. A good crop of clover removes nom
the soil more potash, phosphoric ACID,
lime, and other matter which enter into
The ashes Of our cultivated crops, than any
other crop usually grown in this country.
?. There Is fully three times as much
nitrogen IN Q crop of clover as IN the az.
erage produce Of the grain and straw OF
wheat Per acre.
8. Notwithstanding the large amount Of
heterogeneous matter, and of ash constitu-
ents OF plants, In the produce Of an acre,
clover is an excellent preparatory crop for
wheat

amount Of nitrogenous matter accumulates
in the soil.
