TIE Orchard.

The orchard in grass should not be
plowed up in the fall, no matter what
you intend to grow ON it next season
Sod in itself is an admirable protection
against injury from frost ia severe win
ter. Its efficacy, however, is still aug
mented by good covering of coarse
manure or even wet straw
Above all else, you want fruit from
an orchard. Feed it and it will give
you fruit for years to come.
An orchard of not much over five
years from planting, which, as it should,
has been in cultivation this season and
therefore is not in sod, will hardly suf-
fer in consequence of fall blowing, but
needs, perhaps, more than the one in
sod, the protective coat Of coarse manu-
err, and particularly warm and thick
one at that, as it has to get along with
out underware, so to speak.
Clean up about the orchard. Re-
move dead limbs. "Prune when the
knife is sharp" Gather up all rubbish,
dead trees, brush and weeds, and burn
the same, thereby Kidding the orchard
Of many insects which have sought
shelter there, and of their eggs, pup@,
etc.
The orchard is growing older, and
sometimes it will grow past it's fruit and
usefulness. Have you provided for a
younger one to take it's place?
In Southern ATTITUDES fall is the best
time to plant fruit trees. Spring does
as well or better for the North.
Buy fruit trees in the fall, even if
you do not intend to plant them before
spring. When deeply trenched in dur,
ing the winter, they are on hand at the
proper time in spring, with their wounds
healed, with new supply of fibrous
roots and ready to make a vigorous
growth. The old predjudice against.
"heeling in" has long since lost its
power.

THE Dairy.
Treatment of Cows Before and After
Calv1ng.

A correspondent ofthe Dairy World
gives his experience on some points az
ter an experience of eighteen years in
the milking and handling of cows, to
greater or less extent, and milking them
for profit. One very important point
that [ wish to discuss is the milking up
to calving, in which l see many writers
disagree with my experience. | have a
heifer get with calf as soon as possible
and one month before her tine to calve
l begin putting her in the milking stall
Just as [ do the milk COWS and begin
milking her, or going through the milk
ing process about ten days Or two weeks
before calving she begins giving a little
milk and increases up to calving. She
has become perfectly familiar with the
stable and all surroundings, is gentle
if Of q gentle disposition at all-and if
she has any trouble in dropping her
calf assist her in gentle manner. AT
ter calf is dropped and licked by the
dam I carry it away, give the cow some
warm Cruel we'll sailed and little flax
seed meal in it, OF fax-seed itself, if [
have no meal, and, at milking time for
the rest of the herd, [ put her in her
place and milk her. Do not use milk
until tenth milking. The milk having
been kept from the udder before calving
the udder does not become caked or
badly irritated and will not injure as it
would if milk was allowed to accumulate
up to calving. Now for the COW. [ DO
not allow her to again get with calf for
eight or nine months, and never let her
go dry at all, though she may get to
giving but very little milk. / hold her
right up to and through calving the
same way as before described, and after
that she is not inclined to dry up before
calving Thus I milk COW from one
month before calving until she is too
old to milk, unless some accident befalls
her. do not change feed at calving
time do not feed more or less, but just
feed right along her regular mess with
the other COWS.

7Ihe Poultry Yard
Poultry Notes.

Look to your coops now, and see that
the hen houses are being made comfor-
table for the poultry, in these chilly
November nights. IF you have not al
ready whitewashed the interiors Of these
buildings this fall, lose no time in do
ing this thoroughly, to kill off the sum
mer parasites that may have collected
in the houses the past season.
Fowls that are killed directly from a
free range, where they have been boun-
tifully fed for some time previously, but
having taken plenty of exercise are in
perfect health, are to be preferred for
the table to those that have been kept
in a close coop.-Pou1t'y World
For change of diet for laying fowls,
give an occasional mess of boiled oats
and sometimes parched corn.
Dry leaves gathered now and stored
away will be very useful during winter
for use on the poultry house floor.

Glover Stem Borer.

In June, there may be found on the
stems of clover, in localities infested
by this pest small discolored spots ap,
pearing as if an insect had bitten them.
If the stem where one of these spots is
located be cut into, there will be found
ga slender yellowish egg, about l-l6
inch long, rounded at both ends, and
somewhat curved, imbedded in the
pith." In few days there matches
from the Embedded egg a slender worm
which bores down the stem, eating the
pith. This does not kill the plant out
right, but necessarily woakons it great
ly, leaving scarcely vitality sufficient to
mature the seed. When full grown, the
larva becomes pupa at the bottom of
its burrow, and the fully-developed
beetles cone fourth flom August I'M
til October. 1t is supposed that there
is but one brood each season.

THE Farm.
Seed Corn.

IF you have not already selected seed
corn for next year, this important mat
ter should be attended to without furth-
err delay. Settle thoroughly in your
mind exactly the kind of corn most de-
sirable to grow. and select the soundcst
and best developed and sharply ears of
the particular type you have decided
upon. Put the ears sorted out for seed
in some place secure from mice, and
where the corn will be exposed to a
warm dry air. Corn intended for seed
should never be exposed to freezing
cold, or to alternate damp and dry at
mosphere or the germs will be injured.

Houdans are persistent layers Of one

of fowls that we know of, in the chicken
line, excels the Houdan in the size of

the Houdan hen is six and one half
pounds and that of the Light Brahma
hen is ten pounds, yet there is little
difference in the size of their eggs.

Fall Pruning.
JOSEPH HARRIS IN amer. 4Agricultur,

JOSEPH HARRIS IN Amer. Agriculturist
You prune too late in the spring."
said the Doctor 'sNature's pruning,
when the limbs break off in high wind,
or from too heavy load, is done in the
fall. You seldom prune before March.
The trees when half the top is removed
in the fall, produces better fruit than
when the whole top remains to pump
up sap from the roots. You should
take the hint and prune in the autumn
"rhe roots of tre@,' continued the
Doctor. take up water in the autumn,
and probably more or less all winter
If you prune one tree in the autumn or
early winter, and another tree not until
March, or April or May, the latter will
have less stored up sap or food in the
branches that are left, than the tree
which was pruned in the autumn
GIN other words" said the Deacon
con the tree pruned in the autumn, you
have just as many roots pumping up sap
and fewer branches, and consequently
there is more sap in the branches, and
you will get stronger growth and bet
ter fruit. Possibly there may be some
thing in it. I have heard it said that
if you had a tree that is making too
much wood, and you want to throw it
into bearing, prune it in the spring !;
and if you have tree that is not grow
ing as much as you wish, prune in the
fall"
"That is it exactly" said the Doctor,
'and I take it that nine-tenths of our
bearing apple trees belong to the latter
class J. J. Thomas, in his american
Fruit Culture" says: The annual
growth is the best guide to treatment
THE owner may lay it down as an
unalterable rule, that when his trees do
not grow one foot annually, they need
more manuring or cultivation, or both :"
Many of our bearing orchards do not
make an annual growth of three inches.
The manuring and cultivation would be
better than pruning; but at any rate,
we do not need to DELAY pruning until
late in the spring, in order to cheek
growth. I believe in fall pruning, and
if you saw offany large limbs, cover the
stump with thin coat of grating wax
or paint, to exclude the air.

The Apiary.
About Bees.
PROF. A. J. COOK.

The importance Of bee-culture, as
one of our national industrys. is hardly
appreciated. According to our well
demonstrated modern philosophy, plants
pour out their nectar as a sort of free
coffee or lunch, to attract bees and
other insects to most imr or ant work
in vegetable economy, the work Of fer
tilization, which largely depends upon
insects, and without which full fruitage
is impossible. The simple work Of
gathering nectar then is indirect y OF
tremendous economic Importance to the
farmer and horticulturist, and so to our
whole country.
Again. this nectar, when acted upon
by the digestive juices of the bee, is
converted into honey, food long valu-
ed for its SUI erior excellence, which
without bees, would be wholly lost
worse than lost, as we see from the fact
stated above.
Bees, from their exceeding number
and peculiar fitness to any other in
scots in the accomplishment of this fer
tilization of plants, while only the hon
ey-bees are abundant early in the seas
on, and they alone save this valuable
tood-element to minister TO mans good.
To show The activity of bees and
their wonderous accomplis hments, we
have only to present we'll known fact.
| find, by actual observations, that sin
gle flowers are sometimes visited by
bees fifty times day, and I have seen
bees visit over twenty flowers minute
Mr.. L. c. Root, of Mohawk, N. Y,
(American Agrjcu1turist, Vol. III, p.
1879 extracted 4,l03 pounds Of honey
on July IS, 1885, collected from bass
wood which had all been gathered by
40 colonies of bees in Just 7 days.
This is over 100 pounds per colony ex-
ceed II pounds. During the same time,
we secured, here at the College, nearly
half as much beautiful comb honey
from single colonies.

Mammoth Cheeses.

One of the traditions in the dairy
regions Of Central New York is that OF
the ''Big cheese made there and sent
to Andrew Jackson by his admirers,
when he was President Of the United
States. It was formidable undertake
ing in those days to make a cheese
weighing 500 lbs, and its successful ac-
complishmeut showed much enterprise.
But with the present system of associ-
ated dairying a cheese four times as
large as the historic article Of fifty
years ago, is made without serious DIFF
fculty. The Cloverfcld Combination
Factory, of Tie Co., N. Y, has turned
out during the present season eight
cheeses, the smallest Of which we ghed
$500 lbs. and the largest $40 lbs
Six Of these were made to order for
the London and Liverpool market, three
of them weighing 5000 lbs. each and
the others 500 lbs. each. Three Of
each size are yet to be made on the
same order,
Two others still were recently made
to the order of Mr. Geo. W. Hayward,
an enterprising dealer of Buffalo, N.
Y, who had already distinguished him
self in this direction. One Of his
cheeses was made on Tuesday, Sep %
and the second two days later. The
first weighed 1906 lbs. and the second
3,34O lbs. They are to be cut up and
sold respectively for Thanksgiving and
Christmas. To stimulate the sale. Mr.
Hayward dropped ten gold coins of So
each in the curd, while it was being
placed in the mammoth hoop. The
Cloverfeld Combination embraces %
factories, using the milk of 1900 cows,
all under the management of a single
firm. In the manufacture of these
mammoth cheeses, the curds are run up
at the respective factories, and thence
carried in tubs or boxes to the Clover
field factory, where they are put into a
hoop, consolidated with large maui as
they go in then pressed by six screws.
1t is trebly bandaged, with a band of
strong wirecloth outside of all. The
turning is easily accomplished by in
genious mechanical contrivances. The
only advantage claimed for these mon
ster cheeses'is novelty -Praric Far

New York's Great Apple Crop.

The apple crop this year in the
State of New York, as well as in
several Of the New England States, is
estimated the largest yield ever
known. The fruit is of excellent
quality. The average price is about
$1.35 a barrel. Out Of this has to
come the price of the barrel, leaving
the net price of the fruit about 81 a
barrel. Many persons are holding
their fruit for rise in price, and the
storehouses are full. The splendid
yield of apples will fully compensate
for the loss of the potato crop, which
is practically failure.
