1t is astonishing how much diversity Of
opinion there is and has been, about the dis
lance apart to plant apple trees. After an
experience of fifteen years, | would plant APP
pie trees not less than twenty -four feet apart
from that to thirty-two feet. Apple trees
planted sixteen feet apart, when they get large
enough to bear, are found by experience to be
entirely too near each other, the limbs inter.
lock. and it is difficult to get through the
orchard with wagon and the want OF lgh;
and room causes the leaves to fall from the
lower limbs, and the other trees become I'm.
healthy.
Young orchards should be cultivated like
a corn field until the trees begin to bear, and
there is no better crop to grow among young
trees than corn. Let the row oftrees have the
ground Of the row to themselves, aud then
cultivate the row of trees the same as = row oil
corn, but let it stand, as it forms protection
to the trees in winter. After the trees beglu
to bear, seed the ground to clover-clean, nc
blue grass or timothy mixed with lt-and
don't take the clover off for hay, but either
turn in the hogs Or cut the clover and let i,
rot under the trees and whenever the clover

Relative Value Of Glover and limo.


The relative value of clover, as compared
with timothy or herd grass, whether for hay,
for winter feeding, Or for green forage for soil
ing in summer, is one of no inconsiderabe in.
terests TO practical agriculturists. When
green or first cat, one hundred pounds of red
clover contains but nineteen pounds of solid
matter, whereas an equal weight of timothy
has more than forty-three pounds For soil
ing, therefore, the cost OF cutting and hauling
the two kinds Of forage to the stills is the ra-
tho OF three and one.sXth 10 seven and one
sixth, with the further drawback IN the case
OF clover that its too watery characteri is detrl-
mental to the general health of the animals.
FOR hay, however. the analysis Of chemists
give greater relative worth to Clover, ton Tor
ton' as compared with timothy, than 1t is COM
monty credited with Dried at 212 degree
Fahrenheit red clover contains about twenty.
TWO and one half per cent. Of flesh forming
three an seyen-tenths percent of fat, and forty.
TOUR and one halt per cent OF heat producing
food clements; while Of these, timothy has re.
spectively about eleven and one-thrd three
and one.h.If, and fty-three and one-tbird pei

Storing Winter Apples.

A correspondent of Ldtos OF life, who claims
to have had extended experience, is decided
~ OF the opinion" that apples keep far better
when put into close boxes or barrels, and Sc
clusicn as much as possible from the air.
When thus stored, he says they will come out
IN the spring, full and plump as when taken
from the tree. Many varieties, as the Talman
Sweet, Spitzeaberg, and those kinds that are
not considered as long keepers, and shrivel
basly, will do well treated In this WAY. have,
ne continues, found universally, that they keep
better to let them lie without picking over. 1t
is much better to Pile them into large BIN
across the cellar, say six or seven feet high
and four or five wide, ard cover them up
tightly, than to lay them on shelves. l once
saw such a bin that man had kept through
the winter. About the first Of April he thought
he would open the windows on the side of the
cellar next to the bin to let in the air, that
they might keep better. l was at his place,
and he called ny attention to the fact Two
windows just over the bin were opened about
ten days or two weeks, aud the apples exactly
opposite the windows about one third rotted
tor as much as foot deep, and the remaining
part on either side were not rotted at all. An
other instance: A neighbor of mine had about
five hundred bushels in pile in cellar As
they became q little specked he commenced
picking over; when about half done got
tired, and concluded to let them go. When
marketed, about SIX weeks after, he found that
about one-thirt OF those picked over were not
tit for market, while all but about one tvent-
eth OF the Others were good. This | have
seen IN numerous instances. If you wish 10
try the experiment, make box as rght as a
carpenter can make it, and when picking from
the orchard, fill it and nail 1t fast. Let 1t lie
in the orchard TIL it is in danger of freezing,
then put il in the cellar. Put the same
quantity on shelves for trial. ] am pretty sure
one experiment will convince.

A correspondent of the Country Gentleman

The Late Outrageous Verdict against

Mr.. EDITOR:-Allow NE to call public attention

in which jurymen sometimes arrive at their
verdicts. In actions claiming damages, where

measure thereof that can be applied, it fire.

there is great diversity of views in relation to
the sum for which the verdict should be rem
dered-some suggesting s25, or $50, or 500, or
$50, or $1,000, or cents,-as the case may be.
After some time, and when there seems TO be a
probability OF their disagrecing, some one will
propose (and he is frequently found to be
friendly to the plaintif) that each juryman
shall write his amount on a separate slip of
paper, throw it into hat, and then, all the Slips
having been drawn out, the several amounts
shall he added together and divided by twelve

what they honestly think should be the prorcr
