powers to regulate commerce between the

to the selfish policy of railroad fnanclers

ORCHARD GRASS SEED.

More attention is now being paid to the
sowing of orchard grass seed with clover.
Farmers are slow to take hold of sugges-
tions that seem to be new, and in general
they are right-but some things appear to
be so self-evident, that it is strange they
are overlooked. We years ago recommended
most strenuously this admixture. but it
only appears within the last year or two
that it's great advantages have been fully
realized. Upon every acre of the wheat
field, SOW 12 lbs. clover seed and bushels
orchard grass seed, the clover first, by itself,
and the orchard grass afterwards; the lat
ter moisten previous to sowing, and let 1t
lie on the floor where it is spread for the
purpose, 10 hours before sowing, first mix
ing it with twice its bulk of sand or ashes,
the more readily to distribute it. The COM
bination makes a much better hay than
clever alone; it produces more hay the first
cutting; the aftermath is greater; the
autumn pasture more luXuriant and endur-
ing, and cattle are not SO apt to he affected
by hoven by it. AS both come into bloom
about the same time, when it should be
cut, the objection of coarseness against the
orchard grass is obviated; and the rapidity
of its growth is likely to protect the clover
plants after wheat harvest, after which
period an additional protection to the plants
from the sun will be found in sowing 9
bushels salt and 1 Of plaster per acre, as
soon as the wheat is removed from the
field, as this top, dressing attracts moisture
from the atmosphere, and thus stimulates
the plants; the salt and plaster are of them
selves manure, and they also act as agents
TO draw food from the air.-Amer. Farmer.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1872-04-06
ORCHARD AND NURSERY.

We will take it for granted that the
ground has been properly plowed and pre-.
pared for early spring planting, and that
trees have been ordered in time.
Planting can be performed as soon as the
trees arrive, but if this is not done at once.
see that the roots are properly protected
from winds and sun. When the trees are
set trim the mutilated roots, shorten the
branches, and remove all useless ones.
Take care not to plant the trees too deep,
but make broad opening and spread the
roots in a natural position, then cover
with fine soil, we'll pressed down. When
trees arrive in poor order, resulting from
improper packing, and the bark appears
shriveled, bury entirely in the soil, and in
few days they will look fresh and plump
if not too far gone. Trees that have start
ed into growth during their journey must
be cut back severely.
G1utfing.-As soon as the buds COM
mence to swell grating may be done, but
do not commence too early.
Cions.-Cut at any time before the buds
start, and preserve in sawdust or earth
until needed.
Root-grat1s.-Plant in nursery rows as
soon as the ground is in proper order.
Seeds of fruit and ornamental trees may
be planted in nursery rows or in beds, but
it is better to wait until next month before
planting any tree seeds, except nuts, peach
stones, ETC., which were buried last fall.
Insects. -Continue to destroy all injurious
insects wherever found, both in the egg
and larva or grub state. If the trees have
not been washed with soapsuds, they should
be gone over with moderately stiff brush
rs soon as convenient.
7ranspzanting-Tra trees from
the nursery rows and set where they are to
grow, or else make them into rows where
they will have sufficient room to grow for
several years.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1872-04-06

FRUIT GARDEN.

Ouincss.-Most pers ons fail to secure
good form for their ounce bushes, and in
stead of handsome pyramid is usually
seen o long branched, unshapely tree,
which is far from being ornamental. II
properly pruned, they may be trained into
very handsome pyramids.
Currants.-A good supply of currant-
bushes ought to be found in every fruit
garden, and if given proper care, they may
be made to yield large crops of fine fruit.
The Versailles and White Grape are the
best varieties. Cuttings ought to be
planted in rows two feet apart, and the
cuttings six inches in the row, and in two
or three wears these will produce bearing
bushes.
Goose6erries.- and American
Seeding are two valuable varieties, and
are quite free from mildew. Give thorough
cultivation and plenty of manure between
the rows.
Grapss.-Plant one year-old vines in
well-drained soil, enriched by ashes and
bones; heating manures are not proper Tor
vineyard. A good selection Of varieties
combining the early and late sorts, should
be set out for home use.
Raspberries and Blackberriss.-Set out
new plants of these valuable fruits, allow
ing four feet each way for raspberries and
