would be mulched summer and winter.
l would keep it in clover as long as it
would grow well, and after that SOW any
other grass seed that would not make too
tall growth, and alternate with clover
every few years. The plan of stirring
the soil Injuries the roots, and of course
injuries The trees, and the result is that the
fruit either falls prematurely or specks
and rots. During the first decade after
planting, would never stir the sell under
the branches, except an inch or two deep,
and under the branches would cut and
scatter some clover, three or four inches
deep in June, and in December would
place straw of some kind the same depth,
but not within two feet OF the trunk, as
that would harbor mice to the injury of
the bark
Nothing seems to US to promise better
for the treatment of fruit trees than the
practice of mulching. We add to the
suggestion made above, that of cutting
the clover grown as proposed after the
first ten years and using it as mulch about
the tree in sufficient quantity to destroy
the sod when it becomes too thick for the
welfare of the tree This would not only
give the roots full freedom of growth, but
would fertilize the soil very much.
For a young orchard which should be
plowed, the Southern field pea would
probably answer the same useful purpose. |
If it be sown about the 10th of June, the
trees viii have made their early growth |
without being checked by the growth of |
the peas. Later in the season, however,
the crop will have the effect of checking |
too luxuriant growth and of ripening
early the new wood If then in the fall |
a portion of the crop be moved and laid |
about the trees as mulch, it will prove
very fertilizing, and have probably the
best effects upon the future health and |
growth of the orchard.
We should suppose the same treatment
10 be suitable for apple and for pear trees.
The peach orchard perhaps needs to be
Kept always clear of sod, and to be cleanly
cultivated.

MANAGEMENT OF THE ORCHARD

While q great deal of interest has
sprung up of late years in the matter of
fruit-growing, there seems to have been
very little progress made in real knowl-
edge of the proper treatment of trees.
This is apparent, says the american
Fdrmcr, in the very large percentage of
failure which is constantly occurring, not
in plums and pears only, but in what
many years ago We were wont to consider
a very hardy fruit the apple. 1t is not to
be denied that there is great deal of
failure in this as in other sorts of fruit
as the retail price bears abundant witness.
Everything is of interest which throws
any light on a matter of SO much impor-
lance to the whole community, and every
suggestion worthy to be noted that gives

THE GROW,
W. H. P.

A correspondent of an English paper,
advocating the protection of the crow,
states that having shot crows in a corn
field, he opened their stomachs, expecting
to find them full of wheat. On the con
trary, he discovered that they contained a
large number of caterpillers, whose raw
ages upon the crop were quite evident.
Before farmers become perfectly ruthless
in their destruction of birds round their
farms, it might be well for them to repeat
this experiment, and ascertain which are
their friends and which their enemies
DEFEND THE WEAK CATTLE.
Some farmers are not so careful as their
true interests require them to be in separ-
ting weak stock from the strong and
aggressive when the season of storms and
feeding comes around. In most herds,
embracing any considerable number, will
be found some animals diminutive in
size, and timid in proportion TO their
physical weakness, which The vigorous at
tack, whenever a modest effort is made
to share in the food supplied. They are
hooked here and chased there by the
strong, and should enlist the care and
sympathy Of their owner. 1t will pay
well to provide a separate enclosure for
such animals till sufficiently developed to
hold their own at feeding time, or till
they are rendered fit to be disposed of in
some other way to advantage. If left to
SHIFT for themselves they are likely to go
under tefore spring, or should they winter
through they will be in a condition so
exhausted as to render them next TO value
less for that season.
