Orchards.

Strange MS it may seem, there are many
farms. and large ones too, on which there
are no orchards. The settler in II wooded
country is sure that trees will not grow on
newly. cleared land and the one that has
Opened his farm on the prairie. cannot
plant his fruit trees, until he has set II
wind break-and there is always some
thing to prevent that. The yeas 60 by.
and no trees are planted and the family
90 without fruit us II necessary part OF
heir daily food, and only know it rs II
luxury seldom to he INDUCED in, on ac-
count of the expense. 1t should need no
argument 10 induce every farmer to have
IN orchard, large or small, and assuming
That those who have no orchard will plant
one, that those whose orchard is supenn-
nuated will set Il new one, and those who
have already II small orchard will supple
ment il with another, we give II few hints
us to orchard planting. No one should
plant an orchard, unless he can give the
land entirely up to the trees, when they
come into bearing. In the older State we
hear much about the orchards running
out, the trees cease TO be productive, 9nd
we are told that the " climate has chang
ed" or that varieties have "degcnerated. y
In all such cases il will be found that it is
the lard that has "run out" " changed. y
or " dcgencratcd," and this because the
land has been made to bear two crops,
one of fruit, and one of something else ;
it has been skinned $50 beyond endur-
ance. that it yields no fruit, and very poor
weeds. Trees planted at ordinary distan-
ces, meet ut their tops, and the same thing
takes place ut their roots, which so occupy
the soil that there is no room for anything
else, but they will themselves in time So
exhaust the soil that it must be enriched
Newly planted orchards should be cul
tivutcd, and to secure this, crops may
occupy the spaces between the trees, nj
lowing each full possession of rs much
soil rs its size demands, growing only
such CROPS as require manure, and Will
leave the land in us good condition aS
when the trees were first set. As the
trees increase in size, more space must be
given up to them, and The strips in cult
walton narrowed. When bearing begins
cropping should cease. Turning III
o chard into Il grnin-icld or II meadow, is
II sure way to ruin the soil; turning it into
Il horse or cattle pasture will as surely
ruin the trees. The hest treatment of III
orchard is to keep it in clover, and pasture
pics upon it; this is excellent for both the
prs and the orchard. The occasional
blowing required to allow the clover to he
renewed, viii turn undera NEST eXcelen
fertilizer, and the land will be kept i'm
provir G. An incidental advantage IL
both orchard and pigs will be that the
fallen fruit will be eaten and the increase
of insects Observation-Disclosures.

STABLE FLOORS Much has been writ
len upon the best material and style for
the floors of stalls for horses, All agree
hat nothing is so wellsui,ed to promote
he comfort of the animal and to reserve
the feet and legs in heal by condition MS
Il level bed of earth. But for obvious rea'
sons this is regarded rs impracticabIe in
our climate. In England it has heretofore
been the custom to pave the floors OF stalls
usually with cobhle stopes, irving them II
,ipht inclination either to the rear or cen
ter, where II gutter or CRATE received the
urine.
Recently, good authorities have APPROX
ed of the American plan of chestnut or
oak plank instead of stone, and II trial III
London is said to have proved that horses
stand with more case and safety on wood
The great objection TO our common stable
floors is the pitch Of from .one to four
inches, which is given for the purpose OF
draining off the urine. This is often much
larger than is necessary, but any lncllna'
ton to the rear is il furious, for the reason
hat the toes of the animal are thereby
turned up, and the back sinews, especially
of the fore legs, kept in sort OF unnal'

FACILITATING DRAUGHr HORSES. A
number of careful experiments have been
made on this subject during the past sum
mer in Switzerland and Germany. 1t has
long been known that =" dead pull, - that
is, the drawing of an inelastie and riged
body, as harder than where the body is
elastic. In the experiments just mention
ed IN iron tube was filled with circular
pieces of rubber, alternating with discs Of
sheet iron. The circles Of rubber and
those of iron were perforated in the center
admitting the passage Of IN iron rod at
tached to II cap ut one end. These tubes
were interposed at the attachment of the
shafts or else were placed between the
collar and the tugs, with the effect that the
horse, instead Of being obliged to "lhrow
himself into the collar" starts the vehicle
by gradual effort,
The lorce required to start, and that also
required to pull Il vehicle We're carefully
measured by dynamomicter, both with
and without the elastic tubes. 1t was
found that, for steady traction, the gain
with the tubes amounted to seventeen per
cent, whilst for starting, the necessary ef-
folt was diminished by over twenty per
cent. Similar experiments, in which coiled
springs were used, gave analogous results.
In view Of the great advantage OBJ aimed
by this simple means, it should come into
general use. One object Of this publica-
ton is to ditflse the information and pre-.
vent this useful principle from being ham
EGred by patent.

Ben Fisher had finished his hard days WORK.
Aud he sat al his cottage door;
Ills good wife, Kate sat by his side,
And the moonlight danced on the hoor:-
The moonlight danced on the cottage floor,
Her beams were clear and bright
As when he and Kate, twelve years before
Talk'd love in her mellow light,
Ben Fisher had never pipe Of clay,
And never a dram drank he;
SO he loved at home with his wife to stay,
And they chatted right merrily;
Right merrily chatted they On, the while
Her babe slept on her breast;
While chubby rogue, with rosy SMILE
On his fathers knee found rest.

And the corn in the lower field
And the wheat on the hill WIS grown to Sect
And promised glorious yield;-
A glorious yield in the harvest time,
And his orchard was doing fair;
His sheep and stock were in their pine
Ills farm all in good repair
Kate said that her garden looked beautiful
Her fowls and her calves we're fat;
That the butter that Tommy that morn churned'
Would buy him Sunday hat;
That Jenny for Pa n new shirt had made,

That Nedly the garden could nicely spade.
