PuStlsriNS Orchards.

In England almost every orchard lies
in permanent grass, and those that are
annually grazed with sheep or only
some calves lying with them-and tho
animals we'll fed in the winter-will
give more fruit and cause the trees to
pro s,"l better than if cultivated with
tl' low. The droppings and urine
from the live stock, when IN orchard
is grazed, mature the roots of the trees
quite as we'll as the application of
manure by hauling it thereto. There
is much less pruning in farmers
orchards of apple trees, and they last
Longer, which is partly attributable to
the climate, rs the wood grows slower;
but the cutting away of 80 much wood
increases the growth of numerous
shoots and renders constant after thin

The Country Gentleman says of this
nearly obsolete fruit:
This fruit, possessing all the excel.
lence and characteristics of the peach,
with the glossy skin of the plum, and
perhaps unequaled, in beauty by any
other fruit when it is finely grown, has
been nearly given mp by cultivators
on account of the destruction of the
crop by the curculio. This insect
selects young nectarines in preference
to all other fruit for the deposit Of it's
eggs, which has made it nearly impos.
sible to secure crop. But now, that
efficient means have been devised TO.
destroying the curculio, We would adj.
wise those cultivators, who are willing
to take the necessary trouble to pro.
tect the fruit, to set out nectarine
trees. The former modes of jarrine

mallets and other inefficient tools.
brought down but portion of the in.
sects; but the better way of giving
them sharp blows on the heads of in.
serted iron spikes, make thorough
work, brings all down, and is more ex.
peditious. Nectarine trees may be set
out the present autumn, if the: soil is
we'll drained or naturally dry, and the
exposure is not windy one.

The horticultural editor of the Coun-
try Gentleman, after trying various
ways, has come to the conclusion that
the best way to keep winter apples is
on shelves in the middle of the cellar,
Shelves about five feet wide, farenough
apart to admit of convenience in as
sorting, with passage-way all around,
so that the fruit can be reached from
both sides. Would have the fruit
shallow upon the shelves, so that the
decaying apples may be picked out
without moving tho sound, and those
beginning to decay should be picked
out and used first. The fruit cellar
should be separated from the main one
by brick walls, kept dry, and at very
low temperature. This isthe counsel
of long experience and close and intel
igent observation.

How to Keep Honey Combs.

A writer in The American Bee Jour-
nal for several years has practiced the
following method of preserving old
combs from the depredations of the
moth when it is not convenient to melt
them up ct orce:
Lay them in the sun until they be-
come softened, then roll them up and
press them with the hand INTO hard,
round balls. In this condition they
may be kept without loss or danger for
years. A wholesale honey dealer says
honey will not candy if teaspoonful
of cream tartar dissolved in water be
mixed with gallon of honey when
scalding hot. Care must be taken hot
to scorch the honey.

One Of Lord GOrden's Feats.

The Duluth Herald of the 18th inst.
says: "a gentleman informs us that
Mrs. Cornish, wife of one of Lord
Gordon Gordon's counsel, passed
through Duluth few days ago, her
fingers and wrists covered with icwelry.
which her husband had received as
part Of his fee. But it seems Mrs.
Cornish did not get the finest Jewel of
the rascal Gordon, as he has vet a
single diamond worth $4,000, one of
those he is accused Of having obtained
under false pretenccs in London,
while playing Lord Giencairn. In
this connection we will just here
mention # little theft committed by
his lordship' when in St. Paul. It
seems he was 'lording' it at the Me-
tropolitan Hotel, and there made. the
acquaintance of Mrs. LOOMS, wife of
Col. Loon,is, ut the time Land Com
missioner on the Northern Pacific, who
was stopping with Col. butcher. Mrs.
LOOMS wore magnificent solitaire
diamond ring, which she had occasion
to remove from her finger and place on
the wash stand. Shortly after, his
lordship, having entered the room to
pay his respects to her and her hns-
band, the diamond was missing, and it
was giving up for lost. In the valise
captured at the house Of Mr.. Mckay,
when the So called kidnappers got hold
Of Gordon, was found this identical
ring, a very good proof indeed TINT
