Interesting to Farmsrs.

SMOKING ORoHARDs.-At the recent Farm
ers Institute in gainesville the subject of
Kidding orchards from insect enemies was
discussed, both the methods Of sorinkling
and smoking being under discussion. It is
worthy of remark that none Of the gentlemen
present, and some were the most noted fruit
growers in the West, recommended the
smoking process, and the idea of sprinkhng
orchards with Paris green or some of the
mild acids to drive off or kill worms, moths.
and the like found little favor, owing both
to expense and the small benefit received.
Keeping the trunks Of the trees clean, the
ground free from rubbish, and allowing small
stock to run in the orchard and eat the wind
falls, ETC., were pronounced the best agencies
at present to destroy insects, moths and YER
min generally.
PAsrUREs.-There is but little doubt that
if the pasture that supplies the dairy herd
both day and night with feed was to be
divided into two-or better, three-lots, and
a rotation of feeding of a week for each lot
practiced, third more would be secured in
way of better feed and increased condition
of the stock. When the pasture becomes
barren and the roots of the grass have no
protection. the roots rapidly become shrunken
and do not supply the blades with sufficient
nutriment to force the growth, as they would
do if the lot was not SO closely fed and the
grass was protected, part of the time, at
least, from the daily trampling of the cattle
In their search for green plat Of heritage.
FERTILIzISG ORoHARDs.-Th idea of man.
uring an orchard is as old as orchards them
selves, but only now and then the vast drain
upon the soil of an orchard is thought of seri-
ously. Usually the orchard is in grass, which
causes a double demand upon the soil, and it
is at the expense of the fruit. To prevent
the rot IN grapes heavy fertilization is about
the best, known remedy, applying at least
twenty loads of well-rOtted manure to the
acre though if it is thick with straw it can be
applied equally well in the spring.

full of hayoring. Line some deep pie. plates
with crust, fill them with the mixture, and
bake until the custard is firm. If the oven
is so hot that it threatens to brown ths top
before the crust can bake, then cover tho
pies with thick brown grocers' paper.

orchard of Los Angeles has baffied the best
skill of the country heretofore. Various APP
plications have been tried, and while many
have proved partially successful, none have
heretofore been complete success. Coal oil,
raw petroleum, potash washes and various
other expedients have been tried. and for
time success in the destruction would seem
almost complete. But after a time the insect
has always appeared again aud commenced
the work of destruction as vigorously as be-
fore, showing that some of the insects, or
their eggs, escaped alive. Certain parties
have been conducting experiments with BIZ
sulphate of carbon, and have been so far sue
cessful that they have been induced to patent
the process. No more deadly insect
poison is known than this composition,
but the difficulty has been in the application.
The plan now adopted is to surround and
cover the tree with light canvas tent and
completely fumigate the tree. This process
will prove somewhat expensive, but if it is
successful the expense should not deter its
use. 1t viii be better to go to an expendi-
ture of half the value of the tree than to re-
main idle and see it totally destroyed.
