Management OF Orchards.

There is popular notion that trees
get into an unproductivc condition by a
neglect of pruning, and that a thorough
pruning is all that is needed to restore
them to a healthful and fruitful state
This is mistake. They have really
been brought to their poverty by star
walton, and their great need is food
This being supplied, pruning, scraping
and other treatment may come in to aid
Manure being the first thing needed,
the fertility of the orchard may be
brought up by a generous application
of barn-yard manure, spread upon the
surface and turned under by shallow
blowing In the absence of sufficient
manure, then green crops, buckwheat or
clover may be sown, to be turned under
with application of lime or ashes
In pruning tree it should be done
with definite object. If branches are
broken or are partly dccayed, if the
head is so crowded that light and air
cannot enter; if limbs cross and chafe
one another; if the head is one-sided, or
if for any other reason removal Of
a portion of the top will be beneficial,
then use the saw.
The preferable time for pruning is
when severe weather is oyer, and be-
fore vegetation has started. Use a
pruning saw or other narrow -bladed
saw, with the teeth set wide; smooth
the wounds with a drawing knife, and
then cover them with melted grating
wax or thick paint.
Scraping or washing the old bark is
useful. If the tree produces Indifferent
fruit, then, besides the renovation al
ready mentioned, it should be grated
with some good sort. but it will be of
little use to graft more than about one
third of the head each year, beginning
with the branches in the center of the
tree. The time is just as the buds be-
gin to swell

A Few Hints on Gardening.

In sowing either vegetable of flower
seeds, there are some leading requisites
which must not be overlooked. The
soil should be in good condition, or suf-
ficiently dry to be well pulverizcd, and
not left wet, to form clods. 1t is better
to defer work some days than to be an
noyed the whole season with baked soil
or hard Jumps. Much depends on the
previous condition of the ground; if old
manure and vegetable mold have been
fully applied and well mixed in, they
will tend to give a fine friable soil.
In sowing the seeds of vegetables
three chief conditions must be attended
to.
l. to have mellow soil; 2, to cover
shallow, and not too deep; and 3, except
for the hardest sort, to wait till the soil
is warm.
!. The Importance of finely pulver-
lied soil is obvious.
2. The more shallow the covering,
provided the moist condition Of the
seed is preserved the sooner and more
cerainly the seed will come up Seeds
must have three requisites for growth
of air. moisture and warmth. If buried
deep they cannot get air. AS a general
rule they should never be covered deep
er than four or five times their diameter.
We have known seeds of different kinds
buried by ignorant gardeners four or
five inches deep, when they should not
have been over an inch, or an inch and
half at the most, They we've beyond
the reach of air, and did not come up;
the scotsman was denounced for fraud.
In one instance ncighbor had buried
his beet seed four or five inches deep,
as he thought, was great care, and none
made their appearance to his great dis
appointment The remaining seeds from
the same package were then covered an
inch, and plants came up in thick pro-
fusion.
3. Hardy vegetables, like peas, may
be planted as early as the soil will add
nit Tender sorts, as beans and corn,
would rot if planted too early, and are
to be planted when the soil is warm.
The same precautions must be observed
with flower seeds. Those which are
hardy, and which the frost will not kill
easily in autumn, may be put in earl
Ter than such as are cut by frost.
Thorough drainage is one Of the most
important requisites for successful
gardening. Wet feet will spoil any
plant. Asparagus beds are sometimes
killed by water under the surface. \
cold, wet subsoil cannot produce early
or good crops Country Gentlemen.

A WESTERN WOMAN'S PLUCK.


Her Prosperous Career as a Nebraska
Herder.
A letter from Chicago to the Madi-
son wis Journal contains the follow
ing:
Six years ago, a gentleman who had
been war governor of one of the Upper
Mississippi States, was afterwards min
lister to a European court, and subse-
quently at the head of one of the most
important departments of the govern
ment, and a member of the National
Cabinet, died, leaving a wife with from
$4,000 to $4,000, and this mainly in
an unproductive homestead in Southern
New York. Through the advice of a
supposed friend of her husband, this
lady was induced to sell her property
and put the proceeds in herd of cattle
in Southwest Nebraska. She came out
to look after her investment, and finding
the condition of the herd unsatisfactory,
assumed $4,000 of liabilities and
bought out and took the management
into her own hands. In few months
the herd was in a good and thriving
condition. But at the same time she
found herself suffering from pecuniary
embarrassment, and appealed to her
Eastern friends for aid. They looked
upon her venture as visionary one
and declined to assist her, but advised
her to give it up, save what she could
from the wreck, and return to them
She did not believe there was any such
word as fail, and applied herself al the
more diligently to her business. She
rode to the herd every day, except
Sundays sometimes in buggy, but
generally on horse back-16 miles each
way-and gave the most minute in
structions to her men, Her troubles
she kept to herself. Her help or her
neighbors did not know but she had a
bank to draw upon for all the money
she wanted.
AT the end of the year she sent for
the father of her late partner, and they
divided the herd equally and settled
with loss to her of over $4,000, which
she paid to get the partnership dissolved.
She then borrowed $4,000 to enable her
to pay some small debts, make some i'm
provements in buildings, and start
afresh, entirely unembarrassed
AT the present time her liabilities
are only $1,000 She has a herd of
over 1000 head of cattle, has an abund-
ance of convenience for them, and no
stock farm or range within 100 miles is
provided with as good barns, sheds, cor
rails and ranges for cattle. Her herd is
clearing her over $4,000 a year, and
constantly increasing in size. At the
railway station, where she resides, she
has farm of 40 acres, on which are
a good dwelling, barns, sheds, cheese
factory, corral, etc, all in perfect order
The farm is all under fence; she buys
all lumber used herself, and has every
improvement, large and small made un-
der her own eye and as she directs. In
truth, she is her own superintendent,
and personally looks after everything
both on the farm and at the cattle ranch.
At the ranch she has comfortable
house, which she occupies when her bu-
siness confines her there. She visits
the ranch about five times week, gen
orally on horseback, and goes and re-
turns the same day. No business man
in Nebraska is in better credit than this
enterprising and excellent lady
