ing the greater part OF that which falls
during the spring and summer rains.
If the land has an uneven surface, 80
much the worse, for it requires very
heavy and long-eontinued shower to
soak through tough sward, the greater
part of the water passing off on the sur
face to the lower lands adjacent Keep
ing a space about the stems of the trees
dug up and clear of grass and weeds
may in part remedy the evil; still,
there is nothing like keeping the entire
surface under the plow, if there is any
danger of scarcity of moisture at the
roots during the growing season.
Another point which we fear some
orchardists have overlooked is that in
sects are far more troublesome to
orchards kept in grass than those con-
stantly cultivated. This is especially
true with the common apple-tree borer,
which is naturally very shy and seems
to have a liking for trees the stems of
which are surrounded with grass or
weeds. OF course, it is not advisable
to plow deep enough in orchards to dis
turb or break many roots; but where
the land is kept constantly under culti-
vation the roots do not usually grow as
near the surface as when the soil is not
so that there is little danger
of injury if the plowman is moderately
careful in his work.
To sum up this matter of cultivation
or no cultivation of orchards, we would
say that in heavy, moist soils seeding
the land down is admissible, and often
as it saves the farmer much
trouble and expense; but in light soils
and where droughts are likely to occur
it is not, and the man who attempts to
keep his trees in sod will sooner or later
find that he has made mistake

Grass in Orchards.

For the past quarter of century the
question of "grass or no grass has
been vigorously discussed by orchard
lists, seemingly without much progress
toward decision. That many orchards
have remained healthy and productive
in land that has been kept seeded down
as meadows and pastures no one will
pretend to deny; but whether it would
be best to adopt this system generally
would be, to say the least, very doubt
full. A system of cultivation and non
cultivation of trees which works well
in one climate and soil, bringing as
good results as the Orchardists could
wish, may not answer at all under diff
ferent circumstances. Consequently,
there must be a variation in manage
ment to meet varying conditions.
Every farmer knows that the soil gets
dry much sooner under sod than where
the land is kept under cultivation and
is stirred often during the summer
months. For this reason, if for no
other, some kind of hoed or cultivated
crop is generally recommended as most
suitable for young orchards, and in
some soils and localities it is not ad-
visable to seed down land among fruit
trees at any time; for when this is done
growth both of tree and fruit ceases.
If the soil is naturally too moist to
insure healthy, vigorous growth of
the trees, undertaking would GER
tainly be the best way to remedy the
evil; but seeding down to grass might
answer, and we may say does answer
in many good fruit-grOwing regions,
for there are very few farmers who have
ever attempted to underdrain land pre-
vious to planting it with trees. After the
apple trees have become well established
that is five to ten years planted
the general practice is to seed the land
down and use it as a meadow, and this
plan has worked well in most of the
Northern States, where the soil is a
deep, rich and moist clay; but in light
soils this system will seldom answer,
as the trees do not get sufficient moist
ure in summer to keep up a vigorous
growth, the grass over their roots tax

Apache COurtship and Marriage.

When a brave concludes to marry,
SAYS the San Francisco Post, either q
first or any subsequent wife, the man
ner of his courtship is the same. He
makes no effort to become agreeable to
his intended bride-indeed, rarely, if
ever, notices or speaks to her, except
in answer TO questions she may put to
him. He pays more attention, how
ever, to her male relations, particularly
her brothers, if she has any. Finally,
if he becomes satisfied that declara-
tion will not be rejected, then the whole
affair is accomplished in a few hours,
and generally in this fashion: At night
he takes the presents intended for the
girls parents, who alone are entitled
to receive any, and places them near
the lodge in which she resides. If the
presents are horses they have their
trappiugs also, and are tied with ma
cate near the lodge; if a COW is to be
given, single straw, or a cows horn,
which signifies the intention, is tied to
the lodge. If these presents are &C.
cepted, which almost always happens,
the girl goes in the morning and builds
a new lodge or hut for herself and hus-
band, and puts the straw in it for their
bed. If the man is rich, there is some
ceremony about the marriage; if poor,
very little or none. When the parties
are of consequence, one of the orators
of the tribe is employed by the bride
groom to place the presents near the
lodge and make speech to the BRIDES
family for him. The orator stands at
a distance of several yards, and in his
best style makes the declaration for his
principal. in this he dilates on his
qualities es-his courage, his skill in hunt
ing, or anything in which he is distin-
guished. The orator confines himself
strictly to the truth in his speech, and
promises that his principal will main
tain and defend his bride, but at the
same time informs her family that he
NAV at some future time take another
wife, and even may become tired of her
and send her home-all of which are
the necessary incidents of Apache mar
ried life. He also tells them that while
she should remain his only wife he
would be faithful to her, and should
expect fidelity, obedience and service
from her. When he returned from
hunting, foray or play, he wanted his
food prepared as soon as possible, and
he should expect her always to have a

A Man Survives a Draining.

John Harris, who had his head split
open by a falling ak at the new Yellow
Jacket shaft some two years ago, is
again on the Comstock. Although that
ak fell about one hundred and sixty
feet upon his head, and he lost in con-
sequence a strip of skull-bone four
inches long and two and half inches
wide, he has taken that head to En-
gland with him and brought it back,
and thinks a good deal of it and with it
yet. He is one of those exceptional
cases in surgery of which there are not
half dozen in the books, and which
ranks with that where tamping iron,
blown by a prematurely discharged
blast, passed through mans head
from chin to crown, and yet failed to
kill him. The cash made by this ak in
Harris head was large enough to kill
half a dozen men. When the bones
were taken by the surgeons from the
wound the large vein between the lobes
of the brain sent torrent of blood
gushing forth. 1t was stanched with
lint and the man rallied. The surgeon
feared to remove the lint lest he should
bleed to death, and it remained some
two weeks till it became so far decayed
as to force its removal. Contrary to
expectation no blood followed, nor was
there any second hemorrhage from the
wound. Harris has pretty much re-
covered from the effects Of the acci-
dent. He says he experiences no head
trouble whatever, but he has a hitch
in his walk, sort Of jerk, let-go-and-
go-on movement, which is the result
Of the hurt. He is wonderfully good
man for one upon whom the expert
ment of dropping an ak 100 feet upon
his head was successfully tried.-GoJd

The Successful Better.

An English officer exchanged into
another regiment, bringing with him
the reputation of being marvelously
successful at a bet. "Ah," said his
new Colonel, "he won't get any sue
cess out of me, I'll warrant; and he
wrote to the fellows former Colonel,
an old friend, We like him very
much" <" Glad you do, old boy; keep
him; we found him too expensive a
luxury" was the reply. One day at
mess the Colonel good-humoredly said
/ hear that you profess always to win
a bet." Well, sir, I'm pretty sue,
cessful that way" "I don't think you
would succeed with me-" May
trY" asked the subaltern. "By all
means" p" Well, then, l bet you, sir,
that the old wound in your back has
broken out afresh." " What in the
world do you mean? Old wound in
my back? D'you think ever turned
my back on the enemy, then?" and the
gallant Colonel grew warm; /" 1 never
had wound in my back in my life.

pie word was more than enough; but
no, the latter was excited and stripped.
"lve lost, sir" and Brown handed
over the G10 note. A few days later
came a note from the Colonel of the
other regiment: Brown has again
won pot of money from out of our
fellows, He bet heavily that before
he'd been with you a month he'd make
you take your shirt off in the mess
room after dinner. and now writes that
he succeeded" That Colonel "cussed."

Preservation Of Wood.

The improved French method of pre-
serving wood by the application of lime
is found to work well. The plan is to
pile the planks in a tank and to put
over all layer of quicklime, which is
gradually Stacked with water. Timber
for mines requires about week to be
thoroughly impregnated and other
wood more or less time, according to
its thickness. The material acquires
remarkable consistence and hardness,
it is stated, on being subjected to this
simple process, and the assertion is
made that it will never rot. Beech
wood prepared in this way for ham
mers and other tools for ironwork is
found to acquire the hardness of oak
without parting with any of its well
known elasticity or toughness, and it
also lasts longer.-AnsericGn Building
