Profitable Orchards.

E. Moody, of Lockport, N. Y, says
the most successful fruit-growers in Nj
agara County, are G. L. Hoag, j. S.
Woodward, Peter Miller, w. S. Wright,
and others, and that their orchards have
yielded from $500 to $500 per acre.
These men, Mr.. M says, cultivate their
orchards as thoroughly as they do their
gardens. He adds that one orchard had
come under his observation that was not
plowed at all, and the result is the roots
spread near the surface, and that just
below the surface these roots are so
large that it is impossible to pillow, and
many of the trees are dying. These sur
face roots are more liable to injury by
drought in summer and by freezing in
winter.-C0untry Gentleman.
