Recuperating Old Orchards.

Several modes are recommended how thi.

see how it Can be moro cffectually done
than by tho one We have frequently re-
commended. This is to cut out all the
dying wood, and three -fourths of the suck

oil soap and water, pound of tho soap to
bucket ofwater; and give the orchard,
not merely under tho trees, but every part
of it, 4 heavy top-dressing of good barn
yard or compost manure. If there is any
life or prOductivcncss in the trees this will
bring it out.
The suggestion that the trunks of the
trees should he shOrn Of all the boughs
and allowed to sucker, and some Of these
whc'i large enough grated, will! prove a
failure. The grating Of the ordinary
sucker growing from the trunks of old
trees can rarely he done with success. We
tried this several times and the gratis all

year. Far better t" graft the old trees

Sheep Barking Fruit Trees.


Under certain circumstances sheep will
gnaw the bark Of fyoung fruit trees, and
not unfrequsntly destroy them, and al
ways iniurc them, sometimes to a serious
extent This action Oh the part of sheep
is induced from thirst, for although sheep
require very little water, and seldom drink
any when the pasture is wet, yet when
this is not the case they require water, as
do other animals. To prevent them from
disturbing the trees, it is found that a
wash, made after the following directions,
will provo an efficient remedy: Dissolve
apound of whale Oil soap in six gallons of
water, and into this stir a quantity of
sheep manure until about the consistency
of common whitewash, and apply this to
tho trees for some four or five feet from
the ground. Sheep will not even rub
themselves against trees thus treated,
much less gnaw them. The wash must
be repeated every six to eight weeks, es-
pecially il there is much rain to carry it
off. Besides protecting the trees, there is
nothing better to drive away injurious in
scots, smooth the bark and fertilize the
soil around the trunk.
