For the first few years after planting of the
trees, such crops as require the frequent and
qeep stirring OF the soil may be cultivated.
After the trees get large, so as to shade the
ground and commence bearing. the soil
should be stirred but a few inches in depth;
near the trunk of the tree and as far as the
iimos extend, mulching should be sufficient
70 prevent growth of grass and weeds. The
Sell,i.n9 OF the soil and top dressing may be
til oon.inueu with profit as long as the orchard
cohtlnues fruitful. Or, if the space between
ehe trees, hoc occupied by the mulching, after
IL becomes dlihcult to work a team among
the trees, may be laid down to grass and
sheep pastured in the orchard, as some yery
good orchardlsts recommend; or, which we
think preferable, the mulching may be ex-
tended so as to cover the whole surface of the
ground. .
The best manure to be.use in the orchard
is compost of muck and ashes, and which
should be freely used. Farmers cannot be
too strongly impressed with the importance
OF bestowing better care and good cultivation
upon their orchards, which even with neglect
have proved to be the most profitable part of
the farm. Few realize what great change
in the productiveness of an orchard can be
affected by good cultivation. The cultivation
OF what trees farmer has will often prove of
greater profit than largely increasing his num-
ber and negecting this.
CoLLoDIoN IN HORTICULTURE.
The Gazette des Campagnes recommends
dipping the end of plant slips in collodion be-
lore setting them out The collodion should
contain twice as much cotton as the ordinary
material used in photography. Let the first
coat ryand dip again. After planting the
slip, the development of the root will take
place very promptly. This method is said to
be particularly efficacious with woody slips,
geraniums, fuchsias, and similar plants.
A DESIRABLE GLOSS FOR HARNESS.
After you have saturated the leather with as

two quarts of water, to three half pints.
While boiling stir The contents freely, as the
gum is apt to set to the bottom OF the vessel

on too thick it is apt to crack, and prove

The inventor of this Engine had in view, in its
construction the great need that exists tor perfect
Steam Engine-of small power-adapted to all kinds
OF light mechanical work, and that should also COM
bine all that is good in Steam Engineering
The first point was, to secure a perfectly philo-
sophical Boiler and Furnace in order to insure the
most perfect combustion, and to take up the greatest
posssote amount Of heat in generating steam
The second point was, to make perfect cutoff
Engine, working steam expansively, and keeping up
radiation or condensation. 8 Haet
The third point was. to combine and make the
whole mechanically and scientifically correct ma
chtne all its parts being provided with means to
take up lost motion, SO that it may be used for any
number of years, and always run smoothly. In all
these particulars much care has been taken as in
the largest and most perfect engine ever constructed
The result is-THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF POWER

CHRISTMAS.

Oh that this day could be merry one to
all, young and old. How We would rejoice. II
mythical Santa Claus, with his dspper ponies
and sleigh, or wagon filed with toys, could IN
his mysterious manner at the earliest mo.
ment Of time which ushered in Christmas,
descend chimneys, or enter through keyholea
and fill the stockings of the little Ones hung
up in faith, on chair or bedpost
oh that we could have witnessed, ct early
morn, those little ones take down their stock
ings stuffed with the good gifts Of their mar.
velous friend, and then to hear their prattle
"Oh look, ma, what q dear little doll! what
cunning hat 7! what dear little shoes
Come, ma, look here sugar-plums, candy =
their wonder never ceasing as the contents Of
the stockings are emptied on the carpet and
the boys, with their toys, drums, tops. etc.,
with their glad expressions, and all wonder
ing how good santa Claus could carry 90
many things in his tiny vehicle ; and then to
see the good mother happy, moro than
happy, to witness the joy and gladness Of her
dazlings. Oh! that We could enjoy such .
sight, such . scene.
But few were blessed with such scenes tais
morning; and then, AZ We grow out Of the
belief in the divinity Of Santa Claus as We
advance in years, still the expectation that
some bona .fde Santa Claus will surprise rs
with some token of regard is ever present
to our thoughts. What sincere pleasure Is
it on this day to find that there are some kind
friends who are not forgetfal Of us-to know
that there is no one SO unfortunate, so I'M
happy, so miserable, Is to be without some
one who can and will, even If for . moment,
remove the dependency Of the heart by .
token of regard, or by the salutation of "A
Merry Christmas"
Alas we fear this day will not be day Of
good cheer and merriment to many. i may
be inappropriate t. a.'iiude to the causes which
LED e the suspension Of cheerful, kind-heart-
ed Santa Claus. He will eat his Christmas
dinner in sorrow; he will miss the fat gobbler
and mince pies and palatable egg-nogg; he
will shed many tear th.t he cannot this
day Of his anniversary scatter the tokens Of
his kindness to his dear little pets. But he is
still hale and hearty; he never grows old
or decreph; he will survive his present en-
barrassmeuts, and we feel, that as time rolls
ON and lis revt luton brings up another Christ
mas, that he will then gladden. the hearts Of
young and old.
We hope, though almost against hope, that
all the patrons Of the BULLETIN may have q
Merry Christmas. We greet them one and
all Merry Christmas! Cheer up, We say !;
despair is cowardice work on, struggle, and

An anticipated whisky ring has made its
appearance in Washington. The Committee
ON Ways and Means have discovered that the
country has now on hand about forty-one
millions of gallons of whisky-eight millions
in bond, and the balance in private hand
mostly held for speculation. The proposition
is brought forward. of course purely as rev.
enue measure, to place an additional tax on
whisky of ten cents per gallon. The effect
would be to stop the manufacture, and thereby
actually decrease the revenue for a time,
while it would put over four millions of dol
lars into the pockets Of the lucky or provi-
dent people who own the stock on hand.
