Sheep In the Orchard.

The practice of keeping sheep in the
apple orchard from the time the fruit
begins to fall till the approach of cold
weather, is gaining favor wherever it
has been introduced. Most orchard
lists recommend seeding an orchard to
grass as soon as the trees are sufficient
ly large to produce fair crop Of fruit.
In fact it is difficult to cultivate the
soil after this period without doing
more harm than good to the trees
Constant blowing is likely TO result
in barking the trunks Of the trees, in
breaking limbs that are near the
ground and in injuring the roots that
are near the surface. No crop of any
considerable value can be raised after
the trees are large enough to shade
most of the land. 1t is difficult to
gather apples in an orchard where the
ground between the trees has been re-
Gently plowed.
Apples are most easily harvested in
an orchard where the surface of the
ground is covered with short, soft
grass. Iii difficult to NOW the grass
i'm the orchard either with machine
or a hand-scythe. Ifa machine is used
it is likely to be injured. The grass
that grows in an orchard is wanted as
fertilizer for the trees, and should be
employed for that purpose. by keep
ing sheen in an orchard the grass will
be kept short, and nearly all the weeds
and suckers destroyed, Sheep will
sometimes eat the bark Of trees if
there is a scarcity Of food and water,
but this habit may be prevented by
occasionally smearing the trunks of
the trees with some substance that
will render the bark distasteful.--
Sheep will keep the grass in an Or
chard short, and cause it to become
thick and soft, so that apples falling
upon it at harvest time will not be
injured.
BY keeping sheep in an orchard the
fertility of the soil is insured, and the
trees kept in thrifty state. If not
more than ten sheep are kept Oh each
acre in trees, the grass and the apples
that fell in consequence Of being Bit
ten by insects, or on account OF the
winds, will furnish them sufficient
supply of food. The number of sheep
may be increased to supplying some
grain which may be fed out in long
boxes raised short distance from the
ground or placed directly Oh the grass
A daily ration of grain will DO very ben.

the elements OF fooa INA, are iacK. ..s
in these substances In fact there can
be no better variety presented than
grass, apples, and corn or oats.
By feeding considerable grain large
number of sheep may be kept in an
orchard with the greatest advantage
both to the animals and trees. Tie
manure of sheep is not only very rich
in fertilizing materials, but it is well
distributed. The presence of the drop
pings of sheep under trees where fruit
Is to be gathered is not Objectionable
as is that of the droppings of cattle
and horses. When sheep are kept in
orchards pains should be taken to sup
ply them with salt and water. If
there is no water on the ground, and
there is none in the majority of cases,
the sheep should be let out at least
once day and allowed to 90 to a
spring, stream, or well. If they are
fed grain on their return from water
ing they will require no driving.
Sheep are of great advantage to an
orchard in destroying the codling
moth, which is at present the worst
pest of the apple. A large portion OF
the apples that fall from the time they
first set till they get ripe contain
worms, which are the cause of their
becoming detached from the tree
Sheep eat all these apples and thereby
prevent new brood Of moths from
returning to the trees. 1t is true that
all the apples that contain worms do
not fall before they are ripe. Many
remain on tie tree till harvest time
and are gathared and taken to the Gel
lar. Still, sheep, when they have the
run of an orchard, keep the moths in
check.

All About Style.

Perhaps even more women might
rise to positions of distinction In many
occupations suitable for them were IL
not for the tax on their time and
strength consequent on the demands
Of dress and fashion. With many wo-
men dress in all its details and neces-
stiles Of shopping, fitting, etc, is a
business requiring an average Of three
or four hours daily. Subtract this
from the hours of a working-day and
II involves great loss of valuable
time and strength. A woman thor
oughly devoted to any art cannot dress
after the regulation style and pattern.
If the man desires to step out on the
street for any purpose he puts on his
coat and goes If the woman so goes
out it involves an outlay of at least
fifteen or twenty minutes time to six
up" There are exceptions, but thin
is the rule. Dress and the require
ments aud membranes of fashion
prove constant draught, impedimcm
and encumbrance on the woman's time
and strength-tho young and pretty
woman being here referred to. In
this age Of competition, success in any
occupation must be gained at the cost
of constant, unintermitting attention
and perseverance. The working edi-
tor, merchant, lawyer or artist cannot
60 with glovcd hands. and he often
gains time at the expense of we'll
worn coat in the public thoroughtare.
Almost without being aware of the
motive, mans garb has, during the
last hundred years, more and more
adapted itself to the practical needs of
business. Even the dandy of to-day
copies the general style of the worker.
How much business of any description
would man now accomplish if clad
in the ribbons, frills and lufles of the
Court popinjays of Charles the Sec
ond's time? Yet, relative to her own
peculiar fashion, the woman retains
all the encumbrances of that era.

There are few animals kept on the
farm which, when they are i'll their
prime, pay as well as sheep, and there
are very few if amy others, upon whom
old age has such damaging effect. As
the sheep is much shorter lived than
any other OF our domestic animals, is
it not strange that many farmers at
tempt to keep them too long? AT ten
years Of age the horse is just in his
prime, ana the COW Is as good as ever,
with the prospect Of remaining SO sew
eral years longer.
BIT the sheep is very old when ii
reaches the age of ten, the natural limit
Of the term olits life. After reaching
this age sheep are very likely to De III
jured by the Slight exposures which
DO younger animals no harm. They
are more liable to be attacked by dis
ease, and, if they live, they will be
likely to produce less wool and small

cept perhaps in special instances, to
keep sheep after they are six years

Ventilation Of Orchards.

There is one requirement with fruit
trees that we do not sufficiently con-
slider The benefit Of sun and air in
securing good fruit is well understood.
What we want is sun and air to pro-
duce wood as well, not only in connec-
ton with the fruit, but in the early
years Of growth, indeed throughout
It's entire life, i'll order to secure a
healthy growth, which cannot be
done il the branches are left close so
Us to harbor humidity. Besides, by
giving distinctness and form to each
branch, the beauty of the tree is ell
HANGED. A young tree while in its
bearing stage may thus be made
an ornament, and this can be main
tanned as the growth advances, while
new beauty is added in blossom and
fruit. Thus we get the aesthetic uni
ted with the best condition for fruit.
This is aided by thumb and finger
work, begun with the birth of the
tree, arresting too ambitious shoots
by pinchins and rubbing out all su.
perlluous growth, leaving little ust
Tor the knife, and 50 preventing waste
and shock to the tree, maintaining It's
beauty and usefulness unimpaired
throughout.

When Dickens was law reporter

wanted her to be his wife; but the

have been better for Charles Dickens If
she had married him. Many years af-

Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week:
On Monday morning, the 11th inst,
Slater Stouffer, living a short distance
beyond the basin, in North Middleton
township, and George Lay, his tenant,
quarreled in the barn of the former.
Stouffer struck Lay in the face with
dungfork, one tine entering short dis
tance over the right eye and other the
right cheek, making ugly gashes an inch
or more in length. Lay came to town
Immediately after the occurrence and
had his injuries dressed by DIR. j. II.
BiXler. His eye was swollen shut and
very black, indicating that he also had
received severe blow upon it. Besides
being shockingly cut and bruised about
the face, one of his ankles was badly
bruised but no bones were broken. Lay
iSa man of probably 55 years of age,
while Stouffer is about 20, short and
lightly built, but wiry. Beyond a few
scratches about the face and neck Stout
fer was unhurt. He was brought to town
by Officer Bautz, and gave bail before
Squire Green in one thousand dollars
for his appearance at the August term
of court.
On Wednesday evening of last week.
Mrs. Elias Winters, residing few miles
Shippensburg, went to the mountains
to pick berries. About noon of that
day, she became separated from the rest
of the party and all of Thursday, she
had been given up for dead, but on
Friday she returned to her home, having
been lost.
On Thursday evening of last week
Ernest, son of DIR. w. H. Longsdorf, of

to some chores. From that hour he
was missed, and although search was
made, nothing was seen of him until
