A New Orchard.

There is no more profitable use to
which farmer can devote a share of
his land than to orchard planting. If
he intends the fruit for his own use only,
it will be in the best sense Of the word
profitable, as it will bring health, com
fort, and enjoyment. Many plant
trees without properly considering
the varieties, and then, grudging
the land thus occupied, ask of it, what
is required of no other field upon the
farm, viz, that it shall annually sup
port two crops, the trees and grass,
grain, or something else, which usually
has the land all to itself. This treat
ment is mainly the cause of the giving
out" of fruit, about which we hear in
the older States. While we advocate
the planting of orchards, we have too
much regard for trees to wish them sub
mitted to such treatment. Unless one
can be content with one crop from his
land, and be willing to give it up to the
trees, he had better not plant them. OF
course, while the trees are young, a
wide strip between the rows may be
properly occupied by a crop, but when
they come into bearing, the trees should
have the whole land, and all crops, such
as clover and other pasturage for pigs,
should be grown for the benefit of the
trees. An orchard, properly treated.
may be profitable if the fruit is sold,
dried or ''eYaporated," or converted in
to cider and vinegar. There is no better
time to prepare an orchard than during
this and the next month, whether the
planting is to be done this fall or next
sprins. The most important work of
preparation is drainage. Trees are
sometimes planted upon soil that is too
wet, with the intention of laying the
drains afterwards. It is much better to
drain before planting, as the convenient
time for laying the drains may not oc-
cur for years, and the trees, having
made their early growth in an Insult
able soil, can never be completely re-
stored. Very poor land may require
manuring, but if sufficiently fertile for
the ordinary crops of the farm, it is rich
enough. Thorough blowing, with
breaking up of the subsoiI, is of more
Importance that manuring. Even if the
trees are to be planted in spring, much
time may be saved by laying out the
ground, placing small stake to indi-
cate the place for each tree.-Anlerican

Opium Dens in London.

An alarmist cry has been raised by
missionary lately returned from China
as to the spread of Opium-smoking IN
London. The Rev. George Piercey,
whose pamphlet. THE Chinese in Lon-i
don, has recently been published att
Sc PaternOster Row, asserts that
opium-smoking is on the increase in.

ures are taken forthwith we shall bel
face to face with vice compared with
which even intemperance is cOmpara-
lively innocent. Six opium dens, bel
saws, are known to have been IN exist |
ence in the east of London in 1881, andi
their number has probably increased.

against it. The opium smokers not OF
Chinese extraction in that city are said
to number 200. In New York they are
800 strong. ''All towns Of any note in
the United States, and more especially
in the West. have their smoking dens
and their habitues. Regular opium
resorts have been established at Mar
burgh, and at Philadelphia the opium
parlor kept by Mrs. Chism, pale, re-
tined-looking woman about thirty-five
years of age, is said to be frequented by
some of the wealthiest ladies in the City
of Brotherly Love. Much more lauda-
mum is taken in England than most
people imagine, and it is quite possible
that the habit of opium smoking may
establish itself in this country. As yet,
fortunately, the opium business is not
a vested interest with which it is dan
gerous to NEEDLE, but who knows what
may not come to pass in the next dozen
years? Pail Mall Gazette,

Farm Labor.

When auseful and indispensable thing
is universally complained of it is only
reasonable to suppose that those who
complain are at fault. 1t must be so
with farm labor. Why should farmers
almost universally grumble about their
wOrkmen? One says, "Farm labor is
no good;" another says, cit is not to be
depended upon" But why should this
be the case any more than with masons,
painters, and other workmen whose
labor is done out of doors? The reason
to me is very plain and simple. Too
much is expected of them. Here is an
instance which I find in one of the sew
eral papers I get: GA farmer who has
thirty cows was busy milking in the eve
ming. assisted by his son and hired man.
Outside were seated half dozen men at
ease. These had been hired for the
haylng and had worked ten hours. The
farmer was asked why these men were
not helping at the milking. He replied,
''Oh, they are the gentlemen; we are
the drudgeS. I pay them three dollars
day, but the hour their work is done
they quit But l must say, though,
they work like tigers. Thatw was very
unreasonable remark, Suppose 1t had
been the other way, and these men ex-
pected twenty-five or fifty cents day
more than they agreed to work for, ard
complained and said, '4Oh, that is tie
rich man; we are the poor folks" How
would that appear to the farmerg
But it would have been no more unr ear
sonable than his remark WSs.-M =
