CultiVating the Orchard.

In speaking of the cultivation of
the orchard a correspondent in the
Practical Tanner says "If fruit
trees after they have attained size
sufficiently large for bearing fruit can
be made to do as well in grass as when
cultivated, it is obvious that it will be
much less expense to seed to grass
and save the cost Of cultivation. But
But that would not be all the advan-
tage obtained. Ii is we'll known that
cultivation is likely to injure many OF
the large roots of the trees. This is
the greatest objection TO cultivating
among large trees. 1t is desirable
that the roots should penetrate the
soil near the surface ID all directions,
since the surface soil is the richest
but if cultivation is practiced, the roots
which approach the surface are con-
tinually torn and injured and kept
from approaching the surface. If :he
soil cultivated among large trees the
cultivation should be very shallow 50
as to injure the soil as little as possible.
BY frequent top-dressing with fertilizers
It is believed that the trees will do
equally as well in grass as when cul-
tivated. Pasturing sheep or pigs in
the orchard is good method of dis
posing Of what grass grows, and en-
riching the soil. The pigs and sheep
will also eat the fruit which falls pre-
maturely, and destroy the Larvae Of
the codliDg moth contained in it. If,
however. the grass is allowed to grow,
II is best to cut it two or three times
during the summer, and let it remain
on the ground TO mulch and enrich the
soil. In regard to whether to cultivate
an orchard or not, it may be said that
If trees are young they should be culti-
waited to promote their growth; but if
the trees are large, they need not be
cultivated, but may be seeded to grass
and top-dressed."

Part of the Sacrifice.

The sacrifice which the soldiers
made was lasting one. 1t did not
end with a grand review at Washing
ton. For the dead we need not speak;
theirs is the dignity of utter disregard.
Whether remembered or forgotten !;
wept or derded, they heed 1t not. But
who of the living does not carry in his
body the lncurable hurts of long march
es, the deadly swamp, the ditch, the
open sky a, night, the malaria and the
pestilencc Not one.
Then there is another consideration,
less important yet quite worthy of re-
membrance; The four years that the
soldiers spent at the from; were four
years taken out of his individual
chance in business life. His pay was
a pittance No man could call the
few dollars which ngid selEdenlal
might save for him IN a yeas as worthy
of consideration in a business way. If
he came back as well off financially as
he went, he had done fairly well. Four
years OF his business life were consum-
ed as by fire. His friends at home
had had great business opportunities !;
fortunes had knelt at their feet, but on
returning he found the choice places
occupied, the strategic points strongly
intrenched he could not ask any one
to step down and out that he m ght
step up and IN. Even though he had
been a thousand times assured, on
leaving for the war, that the best busi-
ness should be saved for the survivors
of the conflict, yet he did not feel like
sueirg for literal performance of the
promise. And SO the soldiers went
skirmlshing up and down the country,
taking what seemed the best chances
of those left, sometimes succeeding
fairly, ottentimes helped nobly, and
sometimes losing their grip in the wea-
ry campaign, and falling down and
down, even to the depths Of ramphood.

Fig PaSte-KOW 10 Make it,

Many persons suppose that "fg

inc Turkish fig paste" is made offgs :;
nothing OF the sort.
An old friend OF ours who YVES an
extensive manufacturer of candies in
New York, and who has made tons OF
FIG paste" gave us the following re-
ciepe: take IL lbs. of wheat starch, and
100 lbs. of "a" sugar, or IN that pro-
portion; to that amount of sugar add
half an ounce to one ounce of acetic
acid, after the sugar is Dissolved in
sufficient water to thoroughly dissolve
it; add to the starch enough water to
thoroughly wet it up, and add it to the
Dissolved sugar; boil over coal fire in a
copper kettle till done; then turn out
in pans or moulds creased with beef
suet. Stir constantly from the time
the starch is put in till it is taken off
the fire, or it will burn. Use a sharp
edged wood paddle to stir with. 1t
must be thoroughly cooked, or it will
soon become dry and hard. When
cooked enough it remains soft flexible
and tough for months. Lemon or
other favoring may be stirred in just
after it is taken off of The fire,

remedy. This is dry, warm shelter

cause OF the disease is generally, say

The dairy products of the United

of the current year.
Goats milk is extensively used in

1t is said to agree with them much bet
ter than the milk of COWS.
The Princess of Wales spends hours
together in the dairy room at Sand
ringham assisting in making up the
butter with her own fair hands, as an
English paper puts it.
1t is stated that Ireland does not
make cheese enough to supply the
home demand. Though yery little is
made in the country, the climate and
soil are as well adapted to dalrying as
that of England and Holland, but the
people do not improve their o6portu-
mites as they should.
There is one point that should be
deeply impressed upon the dairyman's
mind, and that is, if he wants to make
first-class article of butter, he must
churn ofien. Never let the cream get
over three days old, no matter how
cold it may be kept. If cold, it will
get old, fiat and funky. If sour, the
whey will eat up the best butter glob-
ules. Churn as often as you can.
Mich COWS are generally doing dou-
bic work at this season, and should be
fed and cared for accordingly. Except
in rare instances, 1t is folly to milk
