CuLTIvATE TIE YoUSG TREEs.-Peo-
pie are apt TO think, when they have
SCI out a young tree or an orchard OF
young trees, they have done all that Is
necessary 10 insure 3 rapid growth,
and, If n frui. tree or trees, a good SIP
ply of good fruit. This Is great mis-
take, and frequently costs those who
make il the trees they neglect. IT
man plants bill, or field of corn or
beans or potatoes, and desires TO pro.
duce a good yield of either, he con-
siders il necessary 10 cultivate and hoe
them, to keep The weeds down and TO
keep the surface pulverized, so that 1t
will absorb moisture from the air and
thus nourish and invigoratc the roots
OF the plants aud make them grow. Ii
his be necessary with corn, beans and
pntatOes, how much mere necessary
with a fruit tree which has been AIKEN
frcm the gronnd where it grew and It's
roots exposed, and then transp!anied,
to begin life and g,owth anew. Then
again, while the hill of vegetables has
but little value, the trees has a value
much greater. While one lasts but
one season and will be affected by
GOOD treatment or bad but a little
time AT most. the other should and
may he made TO last a mans life time
and will be affected during It's entire
life by The treatment it receives when
young, during the first year of It's
fransplanting. II is important that
trees, the first year after lranspiantlng
at least, should be well cared Tor and
made TO make as vigorous growth as
possible, to prevent the sun from heat
Ing the bari, and producing what is
known among orchardists as sun scald.
If the sap moves the least slowly or
weakly the sun will check that move
ment on the south side, and cause that
side of the tree 10 die, and then the
tree Itself might almost as well die en-
1irelv, for sooner or later il will have
L. give way to the wound thus intllct-
ell when young. The soil around new
" transplanted trees should be kept
we'll pulverized and clear Of weeds till
tie very ho; weather sets in, or till
The soil becomes warm and dry, and
should then be laid by under a good
mulch of some material that will alb
sorb rather than reflect the rays Of the
sun. Half rotted straw or stable
manure makes good material for
muIchiDg. 1t should, to do the most
good, cover a circle around the tree
from four to SIX feet in diameter.

Hing Disease of the West.


There has been much loss among
farmers in the Western States for a
number of years back in consequence
of disease among hogs which they
have very generally termed hog chol-
era The State agricultural society
of Illinois has quite recently taken up
the subject OF this hog disease, and
have appointed committee of scien~
tific men to investigate and report
This committee have already made
some valuable observations and recon-
mendstioBs in regard to this disease.
They have observed ,hsthogs that run
in woodland and rich river bottoms
where deeaying vegetation Is preva.
/ lent are much more healthy lnan those
that run on The open prairles, where
there is 10 timber and bu: little decay
ing vegetation. They also say that
hogs fed on slops from the kitchen are
also almost universally IN good health,
while other hogs or pigs that are fed
exclusively on grain are most sure 20
be diseased III some way and not to
thrive. They therefore concluded that
the disease is caused more by what the
hoo cannot find TO eat than by any
food tley live on They say that the
disease, in their opinion, Is IN nearly
all cases AMI in all localities traceable
to poverty of the blood. We think IN
all these observations the committee
are correct. If they would point out 10
the farmers the class Of the ingredients
more definitely that will supply the
healthy conditions of the blood they
will have done a greater good. We
have noticed that if an old piece OF
rotten wood or q charred piece OF tim
Der be thrown iatO pen where young
pigs-too young to eat ordinary food
and that are vel living exclusively on
The milk of their mOthers-ase cOntin-
ed, they will Immediately begin to
niDble and bite at il, and will actually
eat considerable quantity Of the rot
ten or charred wood. Hogs confined
in close pen and fed on grain of any
kind will do the same Thing. Now
decaying or charred wood contains
large quantities of carbon. In wood
lands and rich EVER bottoms hogs find
in decayiug wood and vegetation the
carbon and other ingredients necessary
to a healthy condition OF the blood,
and are hence more healthy and pros
porous than on the open pralrles where
these things are not to be found. If
those keeping hogs on the pralrieS, or
even 10 woodlands and rich river bot
toms, would take pains to throw all
the ashes made in their houses, and
the coal and ashes made III burning
up brush and timber into their hog
pastures, they will, with very little
trouble or expense, be administering
10 their hogs the best preventiyes OF
most of the diseases they are subject
to, and more particularly those classes
Of diseases arising from poverty of
the blood. Stone coal, or sulphur, or
stone coal containing a good proper
ton OF sulphur, is equally as good II
is much easier to prevent diseases in
hogs than 10 cure Them, as hogs are
among the most difficult of domestic
animals to doctor.

A SOUTHERN C0TToN Factory An
Eastern contemporary gi.es a history
of six months operations OF cotton
factory in Greeuville county, South
Carolina The factory in question
was established by a company which
organized in 1873, before the panic in.
augurated by the failure of Jay Cook
& Co., and continued It's work in spite
of the depression in trade which i'm
mediately followed y four story
acknowledgements building was
erected for factory and stocked with
the most improved machinery. Prep
arations were at once made 10 com.
menee manufacturing, bu; work was
not actually commenced until July
last, and the exhibit made is for six
months operations. The Eet profits
have been SD COS, and the balance.
after paving interest and all other
charges, is S96I4. The amount of
capital invested is not stated. but if
the interest money referred TO includes
interest on the capita! stock, tie capi.
tai could not have been more than
100000. The factory has consumed
in six months 764 bales Of cotton.
averaging 432 pounds each, and made
953,226 yards Of cloth, sheeting and
shirtiugs- The goods from this fac,
tory have been mainly distributed in
the Deighboring towns of South Car.
olina. bat portions taken to New York
and Baltimore have been classed with
the best OF toe kind made in the
United States. The company are pre-.
pairing to continue operations on q
Larger scale.

ALFALFA FOR HAY.-Formerly there
was very strong prejudice against
alfalfa for hay, especially for horses,
saws the Bulletin. 1t was considered
good enough for cattle, but too coarse
for horses The principal reason for
this prejudice was found in the fact
that we did not know in the first place
how 10 sow alfalfa, and III the next
place when 10 cut it aud how to use ii.
Years of experience have taught our
farmers what there Is IN both these
points, and how alfalfa is the best hay
produced in California, il, not the best
produced in any other country. Alfalfa
seed wants 10 be sUwn thick, at least
twenty five pounds TO the acre. Il
sown this thick, and good stand is
obtained, the clover grows fine, the
stems being tender and Juicy, instead
of coarse and woody. But even then
it must be cut early, or before the
seed heginS TO form. The best time to
cut alfalfa for hay is before the bios
som is in full development. This is
rot all. IL must not be dried in the
FUN, but as soon as wilied shoald be
Iaked into the win row and put into
small ricks or heaps, to be dried princi-
pally by the air, and without direct
exposure TO The air. Those who are
going 10 SOW alfalfa his Spring will
bear IN mind that one acre thick on
the ground will be worth more than
two acres standing sparsely on the
ground. If you have bnt a small
amount of seed, better SOW that on
part of yonr land and wait ill another
year to SOW the balance. When once
seeded it is almost impossible TO
thicken the stand by sowing new seed
with the old clover, from the fact that
al any time the new seed would grow,
that already on the ground so shades
IT that 1t will not germinaie. The
sowing must be done we'll at FIRST. Sow
thick, and then cut and cure as sug.
gested, anl you Will have the best OF
hay for cattle or horses, or for any
yea;ing animals.

\ "STRIKE" IN BosTON.-The
engineers and brakemen of the Boston
and Maine railroad are on a strike.
There Is an organization of these men
styled the " Brotherhood" which en-
courages them to resist and furnish
them pecuniary aid in the meantime.
No excess have thus far been commit.
ted, an order from the "Brotheihood,'
which counSels fOrbearance, being
strictly observed. Thee are a great
many applications OF workmen to fill
the places Of The strikers, from all the
towns and cities surrounding Boston
for a radius of many miles, and The
Company finds no lack of men. In
stead OF force, the strikers use strategy,
and buy of the new corners in some
cases, which causes no little embar-
raSsment in the operations Of the road.
The strikers have behaved so well as
10 receive the sympathy of the peo
pie of Boston and Of many of the
labor organizations of other cities. As
the Globe tells Us, this arises from the
fact that the managers of The road
are arbitrary aud exacting. So un-
popular have they become ON this &C
count, and for certain irregularities
and abuses practised upon the public,
that "a petition is in circulation for rig
natures, requesting the Legislature 10
take possession of the road in the
name of the State OF Massachusetts.
With public opinion 70 largely and
decidedly in their favor, the strikers
feel encouraged and express a deter
mination 10 hold out till their demands
are complied with; but as the Com
pany in these hard times can get as
many workmeD as it wants st It's own
terms, there is some doubt about their
being able TO adhere to their reso-
luton.

WILL REGRET IT.-From several
statements recently made, sufficiently
authentic TO show that they are
worthy of credenee, it would seem
that ;he English coal mine owners are
seriously entertaining the idea Of sup,
planting their white labOrers with
Chinese. The reason assigned for this
step is, that of late years the mine
owners have been in consultation with
the Chinese Ambassador to England
who promises 10 import all the Chinese
that may be needed for the mines, pro
vided, on their arrival, they are pro-
tecied from insult and injury. If the
feeling among the miners is properly
represented, there can be no assurance
Of this, without a strong police or mil
itaTy force specially provided Tor their
protection. The folly of such an im>
portaiion is more apparent here than
it probably is in England but if 1t be
persisted in, the mine owners will find
they have brought more trouble on
themselves than has ever heretofore
been experienced in their dealings
with white employees.

R,uvo.n D,s,srsps-An Eastern

RAILROAD DISASTERS An Eastern
contemporary assures It's readers that
American railways are more safe than
those of Great Britain. Competi-
ton in America, il says in effect, de
mands a high rate of speed yet 1t is
astonishing how few accidents occur
when We compare the magnitude of
our railroad interest with that Of Great
Britain and the Continent, where the
yearly statistics show that the amount
Of disasters are on tar more exten>
sive scale than those Of the United
States. In proof Of this assertion, our
contemporary says that the various
railway companies in Great Britain
and Ireland paid as compensation for
injuries 10 passengers, during the last
wear, no less than f3Sl ,05S, or about
SI,900,00G. The amounts paid during
the previous FIVE years varied, but
averaged about ten per cent. less.
There paid during the same years, for
damage TO goods, sums averaging
about two-thIrds as large as those
paid for damage to passengers. AS a
statement OF facts Ibis is very well ;
but as basis for comparison, no re-
lance can be placed upon 1t. The
English Courts are more strict than
ours in holding railroad companies re-
srOnsable for damages resulting from
accidents, and consequently the rela>
tive amount of damages paid by rails
road companies in England and Amer
lea has only remote bearing upon
the amount Of damage sustained by
passengers.
