Manurius Orciasras.

Although there are many unsettled
questions in regard TO orchard culture,
there Is one upon which nearly or quite
oil intelligent orchardists are agreed,
and that is, the soil must be made rich
TO enable IL TO sustain 4 proper grewth
of wood, and produce abundant crops OF
fine fruit. There are many ways Of ma
ruring the orchard by plowing under
green crops OF clover, rye, corn, buck.
wheat, or millet, by applying mineral
manure, such as potash, lime and phos-
phorus To the surface, or by using barn
yard manure.
Our object in this article is, not 10
much to indicate the kind Of manure u
use, - to urge the importance of using
some kind, 80 - 20 increase the fsStility
Of the orchard, and to say, now is the
proper time to apply manure. II you
wait until spring the manure will hardly
become dissolved and appropriated in
time TO be much benefit to the next
crop of fruit, and would probably affect
the growth OF wood 20 late In the season
a. TO be rather an injury than benefit.
II applied now, in this season of the
farmers leisure. IL will become dissolved
by the rains and SHOWS of winter, carried
down to the neighborhood of the roots,
ready to be appropriated by the first
spring growth. This, Of course, applies
70 the mineral and barnyard manures
only, as the green manure should be
plowed In when II has attained its great
ct growth. -.
Another question that presents itself
10, where shall the manure be applied
We would answer, just where the feed
ing roots are the most numerous. In a
yeung orchard, but few years planted.
the feeding roots would not be many feet
from the base of the trees, but in q bear
ing orchard, twenty years and upwards,
they would be found more numerous in
the spaces between the trees than under
their branches. When the top Of tree
is left to follow its bent without trimming,
! the new growth Is principally At the ends
Of the branches, and what Is true of the
top is equally true Of the roots, and a
wise 0rchardist, IL he has not sufficient
manure to cover the entire snrface of an
old orchard, will apply what be has to
the spaces between the rows rather than
under the branches of the trees.
This entire subject of manuring or
chards needs more consideration, and q
better understanding, on the part Of
orchardists, of the habits OF growth of
apple trees. We, to q certain extent,
agree with those who have hopeful views
OF the great capacities of western New
York for fruit growing, and the wealth
that fruit is destined to bring her farm
ers, but to meet with the highest, or
even partial success, common.sense must
be largely employed.- Rural Home

profitable. In stock, keep a particular
record of each animal, with pedigree,
birth and other remarks of interest.
Keep, as well, general diary Of events
on the farm for future reference.
You will find plenty of time in which
to attend to these things. Keeping an
account will take but few minutes each
day, and when you have once begun,
you will he surprised TO see how easily
1t can be done. There is one great point
TO be kept in view always, and that is,
to never run in debt. Shun debtsas you
would the fire. Strive to live within
your means, and you will have net
result when you balance your books at
the close OF the year that will surprise

My,h. Are Bue syn bel. or truth.

As the scholar sees in the vain but beauti-
ful mythologies of the ancients the embodied
expressions of the hungry human SOUL
blindly cropping after the Infinite, 80 the
physician sees In that popular myth of the
sixteenth century the fountain Of perpetual
health and youth-an expression of the long.
iugs of suffering humanity for remedy that
should forever prevent the incursion Of dis.
ease. The wilds OF Europe were ransacked
for this wonderful fountain, and Ponce de
Leon sought for 1t in the cypress~swamps
and tangled everglades OF our sunny Florida.
Men have searched for il everywhere and
anywhere but where it really is-in the hu-
man body itself. The blood is the real foun.
tain of perpetual health and youth. When
this source is corrupted, the painful and
sorrow-Producing effects are visible in many
shapes. The multifavious forms in which Il
manfests itself would form subjects upon
varied forms OF disease which depend upon
bad blood are cured, or best treattd d. by such
medicines as take up from this fluid and ex
crete from the system the noxious elements,
it is not of practical impor Ance that should
describe each. For instance, medical authors
describe about fifty varieties Of skin diseases
but as they all require for their cure very
similar treatment, 1t is of no practical utility
to know Just what name to apply to certain
form OF skin disease, so you know how best
to cure it. Then again, might 20 on and
describe various kinds of scrofulous sores,
fever sores, white swellings, enlarged glands,
and ulcers Of varying appearance; might
describe how virulent poison may show itself
in various forms of eruptions, ulcers, sore
throat, bony tumors, etc. but as all these
vaiious.appearing manifestations of bad
blood are cured by a uniform means, deem
such course unnecessary. Thoroughly
cleanse the blood, which is the great fountain
of life, and good digestion, fair skin, buoy.
ant spirits, vital strength, and soundness Of
constitution, will all return to us. For this
purpose DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis.

from five to six weeks, according to the
temperature Of tbs place. If exposed to
freesing weather, they will cure much
slower than In cellar. When the hams
are finally taken cut rinse them in clear
water and hang up to dry ready for the

Nhrinkage OF Pork I.

would like to inquire il science has
settled why it is that some pork shrinks
and fries away more than other pork
fattened in the same manner. have
agitated the question considerably of
late among my neighbors. but with little
satisfaction. The popular theory seems
to be that Of the moon. They do not
pretend to explain the philosophy, but
think the rule infallible; yet / am still
incredulOus. II the true cause can be
known, there is value in 1t TO farmers
generally. The claim is that pork should
be killed. towards the full Of the moon
not TO have 1t shrink also that the moon
exercises wonderful influences on vegeta-
tion. Can these notions be exp aimed or
ploded &c. G. NJ, Mason, Mich.
These notions may be easily explained.
Certain arbitrary rules are first adopted,
and those who adhere TO them remember
acutely every coincidence to uphold
them, and forget every failure We have
cured the most inveterate believers in
moon rules by carefully reminding their
advocates OF every failure; not OCCASION
ally but continuously. 1t can make no
more difference to fattening pig whether
the sun shines on one side OF the moon or
the other side (the only difference be-
tween new and full moon) than whether
it shines on the east or west side OF a
stone heap ten miles off II would be
mere conjecture for us to say what inAu,
ences change the character or quality OF
pork, without knowing anything about
the details of the management. The
absurdity of ascribing changes in weather
and vegetable growth to the light on the
surface OF the moon is obvious from the
fact that they are diverse in different
parts of large country, from all parts
Of which the moon appears the same

An able agricultural writer makes the

The greatest waste of manure from the

all, to be total loss during the time the
stock Is housed at the barn. Wolf gives

Itisa very good plan for farmers to

1t will be seen by the above that the
liquid weddings are much stronger in two
Of the indispensable elements of plant
food than are the solid excrements. Any
neglect, then, TO save these liquids re.
suits in less of the very richest part of
the stable manure.
To give a clearer idea of the magni.
tude of this loss 10 the farmer, we have
only to consider the amount of liquid
voided by a single animal. Boussingault
estimates that COW voids 13, 900 pounds
in year. Other authorities place the
amount still higher. My own opinion,
based on a careful observation, is that
the amount will reach 10000 pounds.
Taking, however, the first.named figures
as basis for reckoning, and estimating
the solid drug at %, 900 pounds annually,
and reckoning the commercial value of
ammonia and potash-say at twenty five
cents for the former and eight cents for
the:latter-we have as the total value of
these two elements alone, from single
COW in single year, the sum of $53. 40.
This estimate, / am confidnt, is below
rather than above actual results. Then,
whatever of this is allowed to go to
waste must be supplied by purchase, in
the form of commercial fertilizers at the
above rate.
One of the editors of the Scientific
Farmer estimates that the waste of liquid
manures in all forms at the hands OF an
ordinary farmer, is three-fourths of the
total amount of liquid, and this would
amount 10 loss Of one-hali of the total
amount of manure made at the barns.
The loss from single COW. in ammonia
and potash alone, would be $3.50. With
aherd O. twenty cows, or their equivalent
In other stock, the less would aggregate
the very respectable sum Of $5S4. This
is lost to the farm, or must be supplied
from the market at these figures.
