Should Orchards be Cultivated?

A. S. Fuller in American Agriculturist.
This is evidently one of those ques-
tons that admit of a variable answer.
In other words practice which may
be best for one orchard, may not be
so for another, because the conditions
are far from being uniform. To keep
the ground in an orchard constantly
under cultivation, and producing
crops which are removed annually,
will soon exhaust the fertility of the
richest soil, unless some kind of fer
tilizer is returned to make good the
amount taken away. The frequent
stirring of the soil, breaking up, dis
migrating, and pulverizing are bene-
fetal operations, for, by keeping the
surface open and loose, we aid the
admission of air and moisture, both
Of which contain certain elements
which are absorbed by the roots and
go far toward making up the bulk of
all cultivated plants. But as a rule,
Orchardists do not think they can af-
ford to pillow, harrow and keep down
noxious weeds in the orchard for no
other purpose than to benefit the
trees and improve the quantity and
quality Of the fruit; consequently,
when they plow, it must be for the
purpose Of sowing or planting, and
the orchard is kept constantly occu-
pied with some annual farm crop, or
seeded down to clover or grass. To
sow grain of any kind in an orchard,
except on very moist soils, orin a hui
mid climateIseldom fails to check the
growth of the trees, because the grow
ing grain takes the moisture from the
soil at the very time the trees need it
most.

Cultivated Manners.

Chicago Interior.
| would wish to see you and all
youny people cultivate tact; study
how to speak and act so as to touch
gently all with whom you are associ-
ated. Behind the best tact lies the
wish to be kind and to make people
comfortable and happy, to avoid
wounding and irritating, and so it is
true that the basis of true tact is, after
all, the moral sentiment.
The young person who would cult
vate tact in speech and manners will
carefully guard against obtrusiveness.
This is a defect in the manners of so
many people, both young and old,
and includes such a multitude of
things, that it is worth while to par
ticularize little upon it. Quietness,
repose, order, are distinguishing
marks of cultivated social life every
where, and to people who are habitu-
ated to these conditions of life it is
painful to have incOngruous or inap-
propriate acts or sounds thrust upon
their attention. Here is generaliza-
ton that explains why many things
harmless in themselves are unpleas-
ant to, and offend the taste of, cult
waited people. No really cultivated
young girl will, for instance, open
and play upon a piano in hotel par
lor at inappropriate times, or when it
is occupied by strangers. She will
never perform in public any of the
duties Of the toilet, such as cleaning
her nails or using a toOth-pick. She
will not eat peanuts or fruits in the
cars or in public places. She will not
descant upon bodily ailments in her
drawingroOm or at the table. She
will not rush noisily up and down
stairs or through the house clashing
doors and startling everyone with I'M
pleasant noises. Such things really
infict pain upon sensitive people ;
they offend because they obtrude, and
all similar actions and obtrusiveness
are to be carefully avoided by every
one who desires to acquire a true and
genuine culture of action, speech and
manners. 1t is very worth your
while to think earnestly and often
upon these things to learn to under
stand why so many thoughtleSs ac-
tions on the part of young people are
set down to a general lack Of cultiva.

The New South.

Henry Stewart in American Agricuturist.
The South is rich in everything but
money. The people have too much
land some persons who live in poor
cabins and eat corn bread and bacon
the year round, and part of the time
are short of these luXuries, own thou
sands of acres of land. With so much
land only mere strips of bottom are
cultivated, and, as the saying goes
here, man can get living by work
ing two months in the year. The
next plentiful thing to land, is leisure.
There is more leisure taken by one
farmer in the South than by twenty
farmers in the North and West. Con-
sequently thOre is little grown for
sale, except tobacco and cotton, and
little for use; for Western bacon,
Northern butter and flour, Northern
or Western clothing, hardware, wag-
ons, plOws, and most of the necessa-
ries of life, are brought in and money
sent out in exchange. Whereas pork,
butter, flour, and all sorts of provis-
ions, wool, fruit, and all sorts of tim
Der manufactures, might be shipped
away in large quantities, or at least
made for home use, and the money
kept in the country which now goes
out so freely as to keep every one
poor, and compel them to live on
credit.
Every day the railroads are bring
ing in Northern and Western farmers
by the scores, and these men are apt
to see the wealth hidden under the
rough and unattractive surface of the
country. They see the rich soil, they
enjoy the fine climate they don't
see the venomous snakes, the bitter
ness Of spirit, and the preponderance
of the negroes, which foolish and an
truthful persons have said so much
about falsely; but if it were not for a
few physical features Of the country,
the absence of good farming, the poor
houses, the scarcity Of stock, and the
want Of barns, they would not know
they were travelling so far from home,
and would find no difference between
the people here and their neighbors
North or West. Scores Of farmers in
North Carolina have said to me, we
want your people to come here and
show us how to work we want to
learn; we have plenty Of room
there is nothing to hinder; all the
old differences are gone; slavery is
got rid of, and we are glad of it; it is
the greatest relief in the world to
have gotten rid of the care of it, and
we are far better offas it is, than with
the old system Of labor, AS a rule,
the negroes are good laborers, and
with good employer, who will show
them how towOrk, and will pay them
regularly, they can be made far bet
ter than they are.

Pure Blood VS., Common Stock.

American Agricultural.
The question may well come home
to cattle breeders and owners all over
the country-"Will it pay me to keep
common stock when 1 can buy full
bloodsat sucha slightly higher price,"
The autumn sales have averaged very
low, and many who have been deter
red from selling, are very willing to
sell at low prices at private sale.
Farmers who have never kept full
blooded stock can hardly expect to
get high prices for stock which they
may raise. They will think perhaps
that it is because they are not in the
ring, or have not influence. That is
not the reason. High-priced stock
have a reputation, supposed to be
based upon merit, and it is this repu-
tatiOn that gives value to their prog.
eny. A few days ago an eight months
bull calf sold for three thousand dol
lars, not because of his intrinsic value,
but on account of the reputation at
tached to his pedigree, added to his
own good qualities. He is the son of
the Jersey COW, Princess, I'd, a COW
credited with having made forty-siX
pounds, twelve ounces of butter in
one week, and his sire is Black Prince
of Linden, bull combining more IA
nous blood elements than any other
we know of, except his sons. Prin-
cess, I'd, is dead, so there will be no
more bull calves of that breeding.
There may be many just as good. 1t
is no reason why Il farmer should not
secure a full blood bull because he
can not at once realize high prices for
his calves. If he knows they have
merit that should satisfy him. Sup
pose in a heard of twenty fairly good
cows we introduce a good full blood
bull at a cost Of one hundred and fifty
dollars, which will secure a very good
one. The twenty calves will proba-
bly, be half males, good for veal.
There will probably be a gain of fifty
cents to a dollar head on even veal
calves, for half bloods always fatten
quicker and better than scrubs, and
generally grow larger. The ten
heifers will be marked after their
sire, will follow his dam in strictly
feminine points as a rule, but will be
influenced also by their own dams in
whatever may have been their line
of breeding. If the dams have been
kept, and so far as they have been
bred at all, have been raised and kept
with reference to their goodness as
mich cows, this trait will be increas.
ed in their daughters, so it is fair tC
assume, that hardly less than five
dollars each, or fifty dollars for the
ten head, should be added to the
calves and credited to the bull. Fifty
five or sixty dollars, or more thar
one-third the price Of the bull will be
returned as clear profit of his influence
on the little herd at the end of the
first year. This is certainly an un
der-estimate in three cases out of foul
as many know to their profit.

restrained and will not cross over a

This is decided merit, showing that
though it has vigorous life, it is easily
confined within limits.

A sILVER-TONGUED ADVOCATE.

Congressman A. j. Warner lets the cat
escape from the bag when he says, "Stop
the coinage of s., 100000 silver IL month
here and silver bullion will Immediately
fall. Anybody can see that Well, sup
pose it does? What does the general
public care about the rise or fall of silver
bullion? All legislation is for the bentit
of the larger number The greater mum
Der or the majority care nothing whatever
about the fluctuation of silver bullion or
any other bullion. What the public are
concerned about is the tluctuation or con.
tinued depreciation of the silver dollar.
The public want and must have honest
standard weights. standard measures and
standard values. Fluctuatug scales and
tluctuating yardsticks are no worse than
fluctuating dollars. Mr.. Warner must see
that to stop the coinage of short weight
dollars is to assert the further deprecia-
ton of such false dollars. He must know
that in a brief time their depreciation
would begin. The nearer they approach
the gold or real standard the more valu-
able they become for purposes of exc
change. But Mr.. Warner is not so mach
concerned about having an honest in ct
strument of exchange, that is about Civ
ing some value to the Bland dollar as
about the danger of Il fall in silver bull
lionl Now, what does this anxiety sig
nifyt Simply that the OHIO congressman
is the agent of a few dozen silver mines
and represents thu V mines in and out of
congress. On what terms Mr.. Warner re-
presents the silver kigns it is not our bust
ness to inquire. But as congress has
properly no mole to do with preventing
the fall Of silver bullion than a fall in the
price of potatoes. we cannot see that this
bullion agent has any public business for
that body to deal with. His private bust
ness with and personal interest in the
price of silver bullion can be best promot-
ed by consulting jewellers and Others,
with a view of creating a greater demand
for silver bars in the various arts. In this
way he can serve his principals best The
government has no more interest in silver
mines than it has in lead mines or coal
mines.
