Many orchards have been planted
within the past few years, and for
want of reasonable attention to them
much loss may be sustained Horses,
cattle and sheep must in all cases be
excluded from the Enclosure. Cattle
will break down and eat off the tops
of young trees horses will do the
same, though in less degree; and
both will do much injury by tramping
around the trees when the ground is
wet. Sheep will often do no harm for
week OF longer, and in single day
thereafter will eat the bark off the
trunks, and kill half the trees or more.
Calves are no better than sheep in this
respect. Hogs generally do well in
bearing orchard. eating the wind-falls
and wormy fruit but in the case of
young trees they often injure both
roots and stems hence they should
also be kept out of newly-set orchards.
Leaving young trees in grass to
struggle along as best they may, is not
good treatment. They should be cul-
tivated for at least four years after
planting. With this care they will
generally be ready at the end of that
time to begin bearing, while if left to
in fruiting. This has been demon
strated by experience, time and again.
The best crops for an orchard are
those which will do the the trees least
harm. Wheat and other small grains
are the most Objectionable, as they
interfere with the necessary cultiva-
ton, as well as exhaust the soil. Corn,
potatoes and such things as require
to lie worked, are not injurious if
manure is supplied regularly and in
ample quantity to make up for the
loss of fertility occasioned by the
raising of the crops. This is prefer
able to leaving the ground bare ali
summer.
The best manures are barn-yard
manure, leaf-mold and wood-ashes.
They are not best used together, but
separately, and some months apart.
Ashes, unless leached, should be applied
sparingly, and all shcud be scattered
broadcast and not in contact with the
trunk of the tree.

absolutely necessary. To run over and
injure tree worth So in order to save
a hill of corn or pot ltoes worth half a
cent, is the poorest kind of economy
yet many do this without thinking.
When desirable, as it sometimes is,
to plant an rchard on ground which
is not level, cultivation continued for
IA number of years Will produce wash
ing of the soil. Toavoid this the grass
must receive encouragement in order
to hold the earth. But a circle of five
or six feet or more around each tree
should be kept stirred with the hoe or
other implement during the growing
season. being careful not to go deep
enough to interfere with the roots

Where the soil and subsoil are similar
in character and this plan cannot be
resorted to, if there is soil posse .sing
opposite properties sufficiently near at
hand so that it can be applied at rea-
sonable cost, then adlnixture becomes
the proper process.
There are situations, however, where
neither of the advantages named exist,
the whole farm being of a uniformly
sandy or clayey soil. In such situa-
ton various expedients are resorted to.
Heavy rolling and sheep folding are
practiced with favorable results on
light soils. Strong, stiff lands are
greatly improved by turning under of
green crops and by applications of lime.

heart, and the man who smokes thinks like q
sage and acts like a Samaritan" So said
Lord Lytton, who may have been right and
may have been wrong, though judicious peo-
pie will have no desire to see smoking made
the test of wisdom and virtue. The ancientS
did not indulge in the habit, and appear to
have enjoyed themselves fairly well without
the weed, which Columbus, first Of Europeans,

Could some Hellenic Jean Nicot or Latin
Waiter Raleigh have taught the Greeks and
Romans the seductive practice, Alcibiades
and the Athenian handles would assuredly
have pulled cigarettes, and Horace, in dress
lng-gown and slippers, sitting in an ivory
chair beside his Bandusian fountain, would
have watched the delicate blue wreaths curl

while Seneca, as much man of the world as

sage smiling at the futile rage of Xantippe
between the deliberately exhaled puffs of his
