THE DELINQUENT LAND LIST. There
will be no publication this year Of the
lands upon which taxes were not paid
last year, tho Law concerning delinqucuts
having been somewhat changed by the
last General Assembly Of the State. As
the law now stands the "land tax book"
is to be returned to the clerks Office on
the third Monday Of January Of each
year, instead Of December, when the
clerk is 10 add penalty Of ten per cent.
on the taxes on all lands remaining un-
paid, aud thereafter tho original taxes
and the tee per cent. penalty are to bear
fifteen per cent. interest until paid. In
sixty days after the "laud tax bool' has
been returned to the clerks Office, the
clerk is to transfer into the delinquent
tax book" from the Gland tax book" all
lands upon which the taxes remain un-
paid. A copy Of this book is to be fur
nishcd the collector, who is to dispose Of
it in the same manner as he does the
original tax book, and return it to the
clerk at his next annual settlement, on
the third Monday Of January following.
Ater this book has been returned to the
clerk any one may pay the tax on dehn
qucnt lands, and receive therefor lien
on the land to the amount of taxes paid.
Within sixty days after the return Of the
delinquent land book" the clerk is to
transfer all unpaid lands to the "sale
book" which is to be published in the
newspaper having the largest circulation
iu the county; but instead of being sold
at public tax sale, any one may call at
the clerks Office and pay the amount due
thereon, and obtain lien on the land for
the amount, which lien may be recovered
as any other lien, by due process Of law,
two years thereafter. This law will
probably have the effect of lesseuing the
delinquency Of taxpayers.

THE HAY CROP.

A great deal of the farmers property
depends upon the judicious management
of his grass land, and the proper curing
Of the hay on which his horses, cows, aud
sheep, are to depend, in q great measure,
for their support during a considerable
part of the year. 1t is impossible to oh
tain hay of prime quality from grass
which has been allowed to stand too long,
or. in other words, TO become too ripe
before 1t is cut 1t has been ascert aimed
by careful experiments that the period at
which the grasses contain tho greatest
proportion of nutritive matter is just
previous TO towering, aud while in
bloom. Too much exposure to sunshine
has very injurious effect upon hay.
Large quantities Of hay are spoiled every
year by rain while in process of curing,
and considerable amount by not being
housed or stacked at the right time.

Protection for Orchards.

PomolOgists arc beginning TO wake
up to the eminent importance of es-
tablisliing belts of deciduous and cr-
ergreen trees around their fruit orch
ards, to protect the tender twigs and
buds from the cold wintry winds.
4 Subscriber inquiries: Are
trees as much benefited By wind
breaks as animals; or do protected
trees uniformly, or oftcncr, bear or
escape injury than those lnprotcct-
ed 2"
We think they Ito, Ms several famil-
lar examples within few miles of
the writer will show.
For instance, trees protected by
timber on the north and v est, annual
ly produce bloom, while those not
protected Go not come 81 near bearing
as that. Had those orchards with
belts OH The north and west had one
also on the east, then they would have
been productive; as an orchard with
in few miles of this, with timber on
the three sides mentioned, abundant
ly shows by its yearly yield of fruit
aud healthy trees.
BY observation, then, extending
through Il number OF years, 10 our
mind at least, orchards must be belted
with timber on three sides, open only
to the south. We would first surround
an orchard Oh the three sides with a
good Usage orange hedge; some dis
tancc inside of this, plant hardy dc
ciduous trees further In, Norway frs,
and inside of these, white pines. These
should be planted at the time the or
chard is set aud well cultivated; then
they Will afford substantial protection
by the time the orchard is of bearing
size.--Ncr York Observer.
