Orcharding-The Soil.

The farmer who designs planting an Or
chard should have an eye to the kind of soil
on which he is to plant his trees. Generally
rocky soil is the best. Trees do not thrive
well on light, sandy soil that is easily af-
fected by the droughts of summer and they
are generally sure to prove failure on clayey
soils. The best orchards in this town are
those planted on deep loamy soils of rocky
nature and not generally very wet. Some
trees do well on light, sandy soil under a
high state of cultivation. Wet soils should
be well drained, and if the soil Is heavy sand
should be added to make 1t of the right texture
before planting. Whenever the trees are not
adapted to the soil, the soil should be adapted
to the trees. Where the land Is not extreme
ly wet it may be sufficiently well drained by
ploughing in broad beds and leaving the dead
burrows between the rows. Sometimes trees
will do well on very wet land without
draining even where it is somewhat springy.
though it is somewhat risky planting them on
such soil till underdrained. An orchard
should be well sheltered if possible from the
winds, especially from the northwest winds.
should prefer planting on the south side of
piece of woods if possible. If there are no
woods near the ground to be set small
maple grove might be set on the north and
west sides, which would relieve the trees
much from winds. The object of shelter is
TO keep the fruit from being shaken off before
1t comes to maturity in the fall The trees
are saved besides great amount of switching
from the fall winds which sometimes do an
orchard considerable damage. A southern
slope is preferable for an orchard to a north
ern one, as the rays of the sun fall more
directly upon the land and warm the soil
earlier in the spring and the fruit comes to
maturity few days earlier in the fall.
have known trees to do we'll on northern
slopes and yield profitable crops of apples,
yet they do not grow quite as rapidly nor
come to maturity quite as early in the fall as
the same kinds of fruit would in orchards on
southern slopes. S.

1t is quite impossible to obtain accurate
statistics of the business of associated dairy
ing in our State. Cheese factories are in the
strlctest sense private corporations and are
obliged to make no returns whatever, to any
person or department, of the amount of bust
ness done or the number of pounds of cheese
made. The facts in which the public, and
especially the farmers are interested, are
readily obtained from some factories,
and from others repeated requests
for information receive no attention
and meet with no response whatever. In
this condition of things it will be at once seen
that 1t is impossible to obtain accurate statis-
tics OF this industry in any year. In 1875,
there were sixty cheese factories In operation
In this State; and 1876, returns were received
from but thirty-fve-yet it is believed that
the business of associated dairying in Maine
had not deprecated to the extent indicated
by the less number of factories from which
returns were received in the last named year,
The fairer inference is that many factories
from having made less amount of cheese in
1876 than tn 1876, refused to make any report
to any source from which statement of their
business would be likely to be made public,
Taking these facts into consideration it is
fair to say that any statement of the amount
OF factory cheese made in this State in any
one year is rather comparative than accurate,
and is to be taken with some allowance.
SO far as we are able to report this indus
try for 1877, reports have been obtained from
twenty-seven factories against thirty-fye in
1876. In the returns for 1876 are reports
from thirteen factories not heard from for
1877, and the returns for 1877 give reports
from seven factories not reported as in opera
ton in 1875. So that the business of associ-
ated dairying in Maine can but be regarded
as somewhat variable, depending upon local
conditions and circumstances m or
The Portland daily press., 1878-02-11

Among the interesting details which the
returns from the above factories show, is that
very nearly the entire amount of the cheese
made has already been sold, mostly at local
markets, and in no instance below II cents
per pound the price obtained ranging from
II to Is cents flor fancy make green cheese),
the average price being 153 cents per pound.
the State reported as being the place of sale,
that of the Houlton factory, whose market is
Boston. 1t would be good thing for the
dairymen, at the approaching session of their
association, to devise some plan, if possible,
whereby accurate and reliable returns from
all factories in the State may be obtained and
made public.-Mdine Farmer.

spring and fall when the weather is not ex-
tremely cold, and also when the horse is in a
warm stable, the blanket is very much too
thick and warm. If put it on when the
horse is sweaty, or wet with rain or snow, he
does not dry off well. There are but very
few times in the course Of year when this
heavy blanket is just right. While very
thin and light one is not desirable, yet one OF
