Where to Locate an Orchard.

When the country was new it made
very little difference where the fiGst set
tiers located their orchards; they grew
thrifty and bpre well wherever they were
planted. Since the forests have been
cut away, and the hard winds in winter
and summer have been let in upon us so
freely, it makes quite difference with
the farmer where he now locates his Or
chard. The variation of soil, or subsoil,
in different parts of the farm, would
favor some particular kinds of apples as
more specially adapted to particular To-
cations. But the main object will be in
reference to the prevailing winds. either
to plant the orchard where it will be pro-
tected from them, or locate it where the
orchard will protect the farm buildings
and gardens and small fruits from such
winds, acting as a windbreak for them.
The prevailing winds in this section are
from the west-southwest, and [ will give
what consider the best plan for lOcat.
ing an orchard here, and the reasons for
it, which of course would have to be
changed and modified to suit the condi-
tons of other localities.
Suppose the farm to lie on the south
side of an east and west road, and to
have a middling even surface. I would
the front, at a good distance from the
road, and lawn with some trees and
shrubs, extending in good breadth each
way on the front. The barn should
stand at a fair distance to the southeast
of the house. and the garden east of the
house, lying between the barn and the
lawn. Then locate the orchard south
and west of the buildings, planting as
near them as it will do to look well. and
have it front into the lawn or road as it
extends beyond the lawn. This, of
course, viii be aiming to have the Or
chard shelter the house and adjoining
buildings from the prevailing winds.
The orchard should have the shelter of
one or two rows of thickly planted for
est trees along its west and south bound
aries. This would make q more effect
ual windbreak if evergreens like our
native white cedar were planted between
the forest trees, where they would grow
readily and add much to the warmth of
the grounds.
The difference between living in such
a sheltered place as this, or in an ex-
posed location, is so much that man or
beast or even plants find it decidedly
in favor of the former. In the garden
here, other things being equal, it will
be comparatively easy to grow its prod
ucts early and to a great degree of per-
lection; while in the one exposed to the
driving winds the plant growth will be
slow and unsuccessful, even after spend
inc more time, care and work over 1t.
There is only one other plan that think
might be preferable, and that / can only
commend as theory. 1t is to plant for
est timber in the place of this orchard.
and four or five times as thick on the
ground, for permanent growth, and
plant the orchard east of the garden
and buildings, when all would be more
completely sheltered. The farmer
would derive more comfort and benefit
from the forest growth than most farm
ers do from their native wood lots.-H.
Ives, in Country Gentleman.

A Fortunate Minister

The Rev. DIR. N. We Conkling, pastor
OF the Rutgers Presbyterian church,
Iwenty-ninth Street and Madison Ave

tale. Some twelve years since he was
called from the Arch Street church,

seven, of more than ordinary ability

ior several years. Mr.. G. had few

read his prayers. Reading prayers is
lawful among Presby terians, but not ex-
pedlent get, although the tendency seems
toward the liturgical. A few years ago
the wife OF one OF the oldest and wealth
lest ship-owners of the land, an Episco-
Pallan, became an attendant on his even
ing service. To add to it's attractions
she employed and paid for the choir of
Grace church. In addition to support
ing literally other church enterprises.
she made magnificent gifts to the wife
ana family OF its pastor. During the
last illness OF the wealthy 81 ip-owner,
DR.. Conkling was faithful and assiduous in
his attentions. On her husbands decease
the widow sent DIR. c., his wife and
daughter, 70 Europe at her own expense,
and on his return or soon afterwards. he
found himself the owner of splendid
mansion on Thirty Street, near
Fifth Avenue, for which she had paid
$4,000, and reftted and furnished it at
an expense of $4,000 more. Last
Christmas eve all the members of DR..

was found in the stockings of the pastors
wife which contained 100000 in Gov

DRESSING FOR CHURcH.-There is no
greater hindrance to the spread of the
gospel in our midst than the prevailing
custom of dressing excessively for church.
1t seems strange that women should.
choose Gods house as the place for dress.
parade; and stranger still that the
daughters of Zion, who are commanded
to "adorn themselves in modest apparel, -
should come before the Lord with lofty
looks and high heads and nodding
plumes, keeping step with the giddy
votarles of fashion. This Delilah of
worldliness has been robbing the church
OF her strength while she has been sleep
ing; and she has need to arouse herself,
or OF, her enemies will prevail against her.
we are glad to see that few have been
aroused to the Importance of dressing
plainly for the sanctuary Christian.

Cotton Seed Meal.

In view of the fact that the meal
from cotton seed is of more value fol
stock than any other kind of feed
we think it highly important tina,
the whole OF this product should be
utilized. In the South large portions
of this meal is used as a fertilizer for
cotton, corn and potatoes, and by
many farmers at tho North, whc
consider it the cheapest fertilizer
they purchase. Cotton seed meal
contains fifteen per cent. of fat, and
over thirty per cent. of flesh produ.
cling properties. This makes it ex.
ceedingly valuable as feed in con.
nection with ensilage, for fodder corn
is deficient in oil and heterogeneous
products. However high aA estim.
ate we may place upon products Of
the soil, it is useless to tlatter our.
selves that it is a perfect food. Cot,
ton seed meal is an excellent accom-.
paniment to ensilage. Formerly we
advised considerable quantities Of
bran and shorts for feeding, but I'M
der present improved systems Of
preparing flour the bran contains
less elements of value than formerly.
We expect another season to find
cotton seed meal in much greater dc.
mand than ever before.-.American

The Year 1851.

The year 1881 will ever he remem.
bered by the farming classes as one
OF violent, sudden, and remarkable
changes in the weather. Up to
Wednesday morning, October5, there
has been no deposition of hoar frost,
at least in this vicinity; and yet on
that morning, almost without notice,
the thermometer IN suburbs of Bos-
ton indicated the low temperature of
n degrees above zero. The ground
was frozen, ice formed, and a vast
amount of produce damaged. Not
withstanding the season had been so
warm and favorable, yet our farmers
were caught with their crops only
partially harvested. II is seldom
that the New England farmer is IA

Cattle Foods.

AS to the manurial value Of differ.
ent cattle foods we find that the oil.
cakes yield the richest manure, as
they contain the largest amount Of
nitrogen and phosphoric acid, with
a considerable amount Of POTASH
Next to these beans and peas, malt
dust and bran. Glover hay yields a
richer manure than oats, wheat, bar.
ley or corn, while meadow hay stands
before the cereal grains. The various
grains and the roots, like turnips,
carrots and swedes, contain about
the same proportion of nitrogen in
their dry substance, the roots, how.
ever, supply much more potash
Potatoes stand below other roots in
manurial value. Straw takes the
lowest place as a Misunderstanding
food, bean and pea-straw being more
valuable for this purpose than the
straw Of the cereals.

VIC snnny sac OF HOMO.


Take the snnny side of home. The
home is the sunniest side of every
great people. Without devotion to
home there can be no devotion to
country. The home is the cradle of
patriotism; it is the fountain Of hap,
piness not only TO individuals, but
to nations as well, and it is the one
spot of earth that should be guarded
from needless shadows. Enough

faithfully guarded by all the multi.
piled Offices Of love. Home and
beauty should be inseparably linked
together in the life of the humblest
man and woman. Itneeds no wealth
of gold or delicacy of art to make
home inviting and lovely. The God
Of nature is architect for the poor,

rest; and the child, schooled to the

blessings, which all the wealth of an
Astor or a Vanderbilt could not buy.
