Manuring Orchards.

1t is perhaps safe to say that not
one orchard iu ten is given any sort Of
stimulant, yet the owner is disap-
pointed if it fails to produce q good
crop every year. All other crops are
strengthened by the addition of ma
nure to the soil in fact,!no farmer ex.
poets much of crop unless he gives
his land rest or manure. A tree whose
roots permeate every inch of soil with
in a radius of twenty feet square, and
whose top covers an equal area, can
not sustain life, growth, and annual
crops of fruit without being supplied
with food. A correspondent of the
Netc England Farmer, writing from a
section where one would suppose the
value of orchards was best underst God,
says:
"The law Of nature applied to APPLE
trees is as true as that which governs
corn or wheat, or anything else that
grows. Living plants that produce
food crops must be fed. Something
can not be obtained from nothing.
Apple-trees robbed year after year of
fruit which has been created from an
exhausted soil land poor, defaced.r
second-class fruit 1t must be),-grow.
ing upon land which has been pastur-
ed, or from which the grass has been
mown every summer that has not for
period of ten, or fifteen, or twenty
years, had a mouthful Of any sort of
food whatever, excepting that from
hard soil, we say apple-trees treated
in this manner will resent it aud stop
yielding fruit, as they ought TO. If
anything is expected Of them, they
must be fed and itcan hardly be too
foroibly impressed upon the minds OF
the class Of orchard-farmers Of which
have spoken, that there Is nothing so
good for old, run-out, exhausted orch
ards, as liberal feeding. q generous
quantity Of substantial manure
ashes, phosphate, yard, or stable ma
nure, mulch, or whatever in the way
of compost the farmer has at hand.
Remember that liberal feeding, with
pruning and good care Of the trees,
will do much to rejuvenate all old
orchards. Apply the dressing LIBERAL
ly at any season when convenient.
If not done last fall, do it the coming
spring; follow it up year after year /;
feed your trees, and in return you
will obtain from them large crop of
apples, as they take new lease of
life from your generous feeding

mated yesterday in duel between Cash and

challenging party, fired first, his ball striking

then fired, his ball passing through COL Shan
mons heart. Death was instantaneous Col.
Shannon denied to the lust having reflected on
Col. Cash in The legal proceedings which caused
the trouble, and challenged c oil. Cash on account
of tho latter's abusive publication concerning
