CHOOSING A SITE FOR AN ORCHARD.

The success of an orchard depends largely
on the kind of site that is chosen for it.
Much depends on the kind of soil, and con-
siderable on the lay of the land, its exposure
to the sun and sweeping winds, etc. 1t is
true every man cannot have on his farm such
site as science might point out as most desl-
rable. Every quarter section does not fur.
nish first class location for an orchard, and
even where they do exist, they are often at too
great distance from the chosen building
spot to make it convenient place for an Or
chard. But admitting all this, it is still desi-
rable to select the most suitable place within
ones reach, and where there is any choice, to
choose the best.
As to soil, the different kind of fruit trees
require different kinds of soil for their high
est success. The apple wants dry, rich
clay loan; the peach does best in rather
light, sandy soil pears succeed best in
rather deep, heavy clay, and the plum wants
heavy, moist clay. 1t is not to be expected
that all the varieties of soil can he found in
any one limited orchard site, but they serve
as a guide where there is any variation in the
quality of soil. Though some trees do well
in heavy soil, yet no orchard soil should
ever be what might be termed wet soil. If
such is its character it should be thoroughly
changed by undertaking before trees of any
kind are planted in it. No kind of fruit
trees will ever do we'll in a soil where their
roots are subject to immersion in water more
than few days at time, and that just after a
heavy rain. The lay of the land and exposure
of an orchard site have a very important
bearing on the usefulness of the orchard.
Low, damp situations should be avoided, as
frost is more likely to strike in such places.
High, airy situations are generally more suita-
BILE for orchards, provided they are not expos
ed to the sweep of cold, strong winds. An east
or south exposure should be avoided, as in
such situations the trees are too much expos.
ed to the early and more intense rays of the
sun. A northern exposure or a gentle de-
cline to the north, or better still, to the
northwest is the best. In such situations the
trees are less exposed to freezing and thaw-
ing than in an opposite exposure. 1t is not
80 much the cold and hard freezing that in
lures fruit trees as the frequent freezing and
thawing. Hence trees on northern ex-
posure will often escape injury, while those
exposed to the full power of the sun are
damaged, if not killed outright.
The selection of suitable place for an or
chard is of so much Importance that some
convenience in the way of distance, etc., may
we'll be sacrificed in order to secure the best
that can be secured on the farm.-JournaI OF
Horticulture and Farmer.

sTONEWALL JACKSON AT WEST POINT.

w
In June, 1912, A. P. Hill, George E. Pick
ett, B. D. Fry and the writer, having passed
our first week at the Military Academy,
we're standing together on the south side of
the old South Barracks at West Point, when
a cadet sergeant came by US conducting a
newly-arrived cadet to his quarters. This
newcomer attracted our attention at once.
He was apparently about twenty years of
age, &c; was we'll grown his figure was an
guar and clumsy his gait was awkward.
He was clad in old d.fashioned Virginia home.
spun wooden cloth he bore across his shoul-
ders a pair of wealher,stained saddle-hags,
and his hat was one of those heavy, low. crown
ed broad-brimmed wool hats usually worn in
those days by overseers, county constables,
wagoners, &c. He tramped along by the
side of the sergeant with an air of resolution,
and his stoid look added to the iDfexible de-.
termination of his whole aspect, so that one
of US remarked, "That fellow has come here
to STAY" His name was Thomas j. jackson.
He had rough time in the Academy at
first, for his want of previous training had
placed him at disadvantage, and 1t was all
be could do to pass his first examination. We
were studying algebra, and may be analytic
al geometry, that winter, and jackson was
very low in his class standing. All lights
we're put out at "taps," but just before the sig
nal he would pile his CRATE up with anthra-
cite coal, and, lying prone before it on the
floor, would work away at his lessons by the
glare of the fire, which scorched his very
brain, till a late hour in the night. This evil
dent determination to succeed not only aided
his own efforts directly, but impressed his in
structors in his favor, and he rose steadily
year by year, till we used to say, "lf we had
to stay here another year, old Jack would
be head of the class"
By the fourth year he attained position
in the first section, but his lower standing
during the early years of the course, and in
drawing, French and some other studies
of lighter and more ornamental character,
brought his average below the point to which
he had actually attained at the end OF our
course.
In the riding.hall I think his sufferings
must have been great-he had very rough
horse-and when the order came to "cross
stirrups" and "trot," "Old Jack" swayed
about and struggled hard to keep on bis horse
When we had advanced to riding at the heads,
leapiug the bars, &C., his equitation was truly
fearful; but he persevered through the most
perilous trials, and no man in the ridng.house
would take more risks than he and certainly
no one had our good wishes for success and
safety more than he
l believe he went through the very trying
ordeal of the four years at West Point with
out ever having hard word or hard feeling
for or from cadet or professor. And while
there were many who seemed to surpass him
in the graces Of intellect, in geniality and
in Fellowship, there was no one of our
class who more absolutely possessed the re-
spect and confidence of all than he did.
