Orchard Culture.

Much has been said and written upon
the subject oforchard culture. says q cor
respondent in the Toledo Blade, and the
best means TO ward off borers and damage
inflicted by rabbits. We are here sadly
afflicted by both these pests, and not un-
frequently whole orchards are distroped in
one wintee by rabbist, or if any trees re-
main unframed by them the borer finished
up the work of destruction during the
next summer. .
I will, therefor e, give my plan OF deal
ing with the rabbit and the 'rer- In set
ting out young apple trees which l aim to
get two years oldl /, for the frsi three
years, protect the entire trunks of the
trees by wrapping them with old news
papers during the wintrr, which not only
saves the trees from the mischief of the
rabbit, but also shields them from the
blighting effect of the winter winds. My
trees are washed every fall and spring with
soap and ashes, scrubbing them with an
old broom, even up into the branches and
this course should be followed so long as
the orchard may last. I seed to clover af
about the trees two or three times during
the summer, thus keebing down all weeds,
grass and rubbish, all of which offer in
ducements to the rabbit, and the beetle
depositing the larva out of which comes
the borer This treatment gives the tree a
healthy and thrifty growth, and in ordi
nary rich soil without the use of manures.
Manure ought not to be used until the
tree comes into bearing, then top dressed
ever fall with we'll rated campast, out as
far as the dyips of the branches. have
never lost tree by ra bbits SO far, but the
borer giver me more trnbble and nothing
"eteonal vigilance" can ever overcome the
pest of the archard. / believe out of soms
three hundred apple trees 1 have neve,
lost one except one year, being absent from
home, and giving the charge to anothe
person, four trees wers destroyed by Dor
ers. They are to be found at all time
during the season, from early May to la,
September, and the earlier they are de
stroyed the better. Should one eacap
your noticr, the next year will find hin
perhaps in the heart Of the tree, havin
eaten up and down and entirely girdle'
the tree before being discovered. There
nothing in the way of lime, ashes or sui
phur, or any of the nostrums l have eve
seen advertised, that can keep of thi
wron that never dies.
The evrr watchful eye and the skillfu
handling of the knife, together with
beautiful and steady growth, by constan
cultivation, can alone do the work. LIE
no one attempt to raise an orchard VIII
connot give it proper attentian, for tha
alone it will be found to pay, and pa
well; without this, all labor and expsns
, are lost Remember that late washin
with soap and asher, and washing
r thoroughly, leaving the ashes on to b
washed off by the winter rains, Will surely
save your tree from being girdled, or evel
, disturbed by the rabbit. Set out you
trees to day and to morrow, for they grow
whilst you are sleeping.

Advantages Of the use OF Lime.

An English writer sums up an exhaus-
tive article upon lime by detailing the ad-
vantages of its use thus:
The advantages of the use of lime are 30
many and SO great that it is almost imposi-
BILE to enumerate the whole Of them. Their
effects may be described as being both
chemical and mechanical, and as being ex-
ercised both on the organic ..and inorganic
constituents of the soil The following
may be taken as a summary of the princi-
pal benefits:
l. A large produce of cereal crops of
superior quality. This is especially the
case with wheat, which becomes thinner
skinned and yields more -four. The peas
grown upon lined lands are better boilers.
2. Upon deep alluvial and clay soils it.
increases the crop of potatoes and renders
them less waxy. Sprinkled over potatoes.
in the stone heap it preserves them, and
when riddled over the cut sets, it wonder
fully increases the fertility.
3. Lime eradicates the finger and toe
disease in turnips, and gives great sound.
Miss and more nutritive qualities to the
bulbs.
f. 1t gives, when applied to meadow
lands, as larger produce of nutritious
grasses, and checks foot rot in sheep pas
tured upon them. It also exterminates
bent, as we'll as course and sour grasses, de-
stroys couch grass, and acts power fully up
on the rye grasses.
5. Upon arabic land it destroys the
cornmarigold, and weeds Of various kinds
6. 1t rapidly decomposes vegetable
matter, producing large amount of food
for plants in the form of carbolic acid gas.
z. 1t destroys or neutralizes the acids
in the soila, hence its adaptability to our
soils.
8. 1t acts powerfully upon some of the
inorganic parts of soils, especially on the
sulphate of iron found in peaty soils, and
sulphates of magnesia and alumina.
9. 1t proves fatal to worms and slugs
and the larvae of injurious insects, tho
favorable to the growth of shell bearers.
10. 1t destroys the germ of smut upon
the seed of wheat, barley, and oats, and is
especially acceptable to the barley crop
which is generally Of good quality upon
ohalky soil
To sum up its ad santages prop.
erly applied to the soil it pnriies and
stimulates its action, thereby promntine
the growth Of healthy vegetation of all
kinds.

The digestion of a horse is governed BY

know that it is not best for man to go at
hard work the moment a hearty meal is

while the stomach is most activs in the
process of digestion. Many good horse

1t is strange that the popular prejudice
in favor of narrow tires for wagons and
carts should be so firmly fixed as to prevent
the use of broad tires. A wagon or cart
with tires three or four inches wide may
be drawn across a soft, newly plowed field
without cutting in, and on wet, muddy
roads the surface is not cut up, but is pack
ed down. The better condition of the
roads and the saving of cost in repairs to
them by the use of broad tires would be
enormous every year Never the less,
narrow tires are used almost universally.
