Top Dressing Orchards.


The London Garden says 'Top dressing
can be applied to orchard trees on grass with
the perfect confidence that improved crops
will follow, although the grass itself may be
the first to show the benefit of top-dressing
There is before us an instance of an orchard
of apple trees planted on thin gravelly soil (;
the trees were covered with moss and stun
ted, although not by any means old (about
25 years. The grass of this orchard has
been mown year after year for the sake of
tidiness, thus exhausting the soil more than
the trees did. A rather rough system of top
dressing was inaugurated at a sacrifice of
appearances; all sorts of refuse material
were wheeled or carted into the orchard and
spread over the surface, such as sifted coal
ashes, old deeayed tan, the old soil and rub
bish from the potting bench, sweepings and
scrlpings of roads, etc., until considerable
thickness Of material had accumulated.
The FIRST result was troublesome growth of
grass, which was kept down with the scythe,
but not cleared away-on the contrary, al
lowed to rot on the surface. BY and by the
trees began to emit quantities of young roots
from the lower parts of their boles into top
dressing and the second result was, that the
next crop Of apples was considerably larger
aud OF mucn improved quality the bran
ches were severely thinned to admit light
and air, well busted with quick lime to re.
move moss and lchens, and they were amply
repaid annually by this simple attention"

Rust on Celery.

There are rwo causes of rust. Celery likes
a cool, moist situation, and if a trife sha-
ded all the better If it is planted in an
open-situation exposed to the sun, it some
times burns, and this causes rust. This,
however, is not the most frequent cause.
Celery should neither be hoed nor earthed
up when moistened with dew or rain, nor
when the ground is moist 1t should be
done when air and soil and plant are dry,
otherwise rust is sure to be the result. If
the soil is permitted between the leaf stalks
or in the heart of the plant at earthing up,
rust or rot, or both is the compensation.
This is one reason why we dislike celery of
branching habit, the work of earthing we'll
is 80 difficult. A dwarfish plant of straight.
compact growth, is always the safest and
best. 10
While on this subject we will say, never
let celery become 80 dry as to wilt, either
while growing, 0. when taken up fol
consumption or storing. 1t will never re.
cover from such treatment, but always re-
main tough and hollow. Keep celery grow
ing rapidly, and when taken up for pitting
do not allow it to show the least sign Of
whiting, nor keep it exposed to light for q
long time. Ifyou wish to know what real
ly good celery is, have ? few dozen plants
under special care. Give them a good soak
ing of manure water every two or three days.
Do not earth them up until the plants are
at least eighteen inches in height. Then
bank up to the shortest leaf-where it is
attached to the leaf-stalk. After the heart
has grown.to the height of the outside leaves,
bank up again, so that you will have about
two feet of the plant sarthed up. In few
weeks after the last banking the celery will
be fit for use.- Pick's Floral Guide.

Bitter Cream.


The cause aud cure are both well enough
known. Cream becomes bitter by long ke,.
ping at three days it will begin to tell (; af.
ter the fourth day it is unfit to be used in
coffee or made into butter, spelling both.
In summer there is little bitter milk or
cream, because the cream is churned SOON
er than in the winter, seldom reaching the
third day. Sometimes, where there is sin
gle COW kept, have known the bitter to
show on account of the small quantity OF
cream accumulating. The summer practice
is reversed in tho " nter. There being too
little milk to require frequent churnings
weck--we account readily for The evil
complained Of The forepart of the season,
wien milk Is in greater quantity, nocessita.
ting more frequent churning, hear of but
little complaint. 1t matters not how good
the feed is, ifthe tenderest hay and roots
are added, making an approach to summer
feed; nor how clean the milk is kept, the
most perfect milk If set beyond three days
will be hurt. The writer of this has filled
the vessel, leaving barely space enough for
cloth to be stretched over without touch
ing the milk, and snug lid put on, keeping
the aif out, but oil to no purpose. So, in the
purest air, in all the temperatures, 1t is the
same.
1t is age that spoils the cream not only
does il make it bitter, but it destroys the
flavor, giving it rank, disagreeable taste

low 10 Ripen Pears.

An exchange gives some directions res
peeting tho treatment of Summer pears
which may be Of benefit to our readers.
The writer says that pears which ripen pre-
vioua to @ctober, should never be allowed
to ripen upon the tree, as they are thus
likely to decay at the core, or to become
mealy and dry of flesh. Gather them
soon as they have attained their full size
or when the seeds begin to brown and place
them in Il cool dark room, between two wool
en- blankets. They will then ripen of a
brigh. color, be juicy and have their full
flavor. Woolen blankets ripen them much
better than packing them in hay fern leaves
cotton wadding, or any other material, and
do not impart to the fruit any disagreeable
flavor, which other materials are apt TO do
II the fruit is placed in closet without be-
ing covered, it is liable to shrivel and to be-
come acid, which will not happen when
they are ripened between blankets, as ther
tho temperature is more equable and the
nj Z is to a great extent excluded. 'tl
