The apple Is the hardest Of fruits, and
will produce remunerative crops if plant
ed in any butan extremely dry or eX-
tremely wet soul 1t is, however, a
great mistake to suppose that the site Of
an orchard Is not Of great importance.
An apple is an apple, and a crop is a
crop, but not every apple Is a good one,
nor every crop an abundant one. While
a kind Providence has ordered that this
staple fruit will grow in almost every To-
cality in which man can live, still it has
its favorite homes. When alone, it
will develop in all its luxuriance We
have seen an apple tree growing in a
barren, rocky pasture, browsed upon by
the cattle every year, but still determin-
ed to live and bear fruit. Shortened in
by the incisors Of the cows, it became
dwarfed and stocky, looking more like a
hedge-plant or a hedgehog than tree;
but live and bloom it would, though
never q solitary apple gracedits branches.
This is an example Of the life of an APP
ple-tree under difficulties which would
totally discourage other varieties of
fruit.
We notice that most persons selectinga
site for an orchard, choose warm, sandy
loan, and low, sheltered locality. The
Young trees do come forward more rap
idly in such a soil and site, but our oh
servation is at faultFif the largest, longest
lived, and most productive trees are not
found growing on clay loans and more
elevated positions We must remember
that in planting an apple orchard, we
are planting what Will be, or should be,
drawing nourishment from the soil for a
century, and hence this soil must
not be of light and frivolous character,
but strong, capable of sustaining trees for
four, five and even six score years. A
tree cannot wander around in search of
food, as does an OK, but must remain
stationary, and take whatits rootlets can
find in a limited space. 1t is, therefore,
of the utmost Importance that the soil
for an orchard should be naturally
strong, clayey rather than sandy, moist
rather than dry, and capable of absorb
ing much fertilizing material from the
air. We are satisfied that deep, strong
clayev loan, well seasoned with the salts
of lime potash, soda, and magnesia, and
elevated above the general level of the
surrounding country, is the true site for
an orchard, producing the largest trees,
the most abundant crops. and the highest
favored fruit.
The worst site, but one quite frequent
ly selected, is a deep valley, in which
is small stream of water, or a muck
swamp. In such a locality we have
known the frosts to linger a fortnight
later in the Spring, and to return a fort
night earlier in the Fall, than on neigh
boring hills. To secure apples in per
lection of size, color and flavor, we need
a long season, and as much sunshine as
possible. The sun paints the exquisite
bloom on the cheeks of fruit and girls,
and the sunny side of an apple has much
the highest flavor.
Large rivers and lakes, contiguous to
an orchard, have a favorable influence,
as they equalize the temperature of
night and day, not cooling suddenly in
the absence of the sun, nor heating
rapidly in his presence.

Valuable Pin.NIOneY.

Take care of the pennies and the
pounds will take care of themselves, "
was one Of Franklin's wise maxims,
which is quoted more frequently than
practised. A good illustration of it was
furnished by an enterprising lady in
Massachusetts,. One day, when banter
ing her husband on his allowance of pin
money, she exacted the promise that he
would give her every day the loose five
cent pieces found in his pockets in the
evening. After three years she surprised
him on his birth day by a present of a
gold watch worth 800, purchased from
these little savings. If any one will
carefully lay by the pennies he is accus-
toned to spend for trifes, he will be sur
prised and delighted at the fund which
will soon accumulate
