Improving the Orchard.

A correspondent who is anxious to
know how to improve his orchard is an
swered as follows by the Am,r can Cuiti-
Gator: "The orchard in question, as
stated by our correspondent, is some
what run down in fertility, and he wishes
TO know the best manurial elements to
use in reviving it. He believes with
proper treatment that, although now only
fairly productive, it can be made doubly
so without injury to trees.
Our correspondent falls to state
whether the orchard in question is an
apple, peach or pear orchard, or whether
the trees are far enough apart to culti-
vate between the rows If an apple
orchard, and the trees are large, it will
not be best to run plough very near
them; but if the trees are from two to
three rods apart, strip may be ploughed
between each row and planted to some
hoed crop, which should be heavily
dressed with compost, made largely of
good stable manure.
The space Immediately around the
trees not touched by the plough should
be literally top dressed with well rotted
manure and unleached wood ashes.
There is probably nothing better for
or hards of any kind of fruit than hard
wood ashes. They should be spread
broadcast beneath the trees over space
extending several feet from the trunk of
the tree, instead of placing them directly
around the base, as is sometimes done.
If it is not desirable or convenient to
cultivate any portion OF the orchard it
can be renovated by liberal top dress
ing of well rotted stable manure. A
mulch of refuse hay placed around the
bodies of the trees will be found bene-
fetal, provided they are so large and the
bark so thick that mice will not girdle
them. Pasturing orchards with hogs is
an excellent method of improving their
fertility. There is another advantage in
pasturing with hogs, as in addition to
enriching the soil they pick up the wind
falls aud destroy the worms, which cause
great loss of fruit every year.

Hints on Floral Culture.

Leaf mould, rotten COW manure and
good garden loan in equal parts, with a
small addition of sand, all we'll mixed to-
gether, make suitable soil for nearly all
house plants.
When the leaves of plants assume a
yellow tinge the application of fifty
pounds of nitrate of soda (saltpeter) will
often cause them to again become green
and thrifty.
\ handsome variegated thing is Fiscus
elastica variegatl. The marking is ex-
tlemely handsome, shading from pale yell
low 10 green, and the general habit is as
robust as in the plain green variety.
There are few flowers so universally
loved as the simple modest and fragrant
violet. 1t is the favorite of the poor as
wellas the rich, is little affected 10y the
eaprlces of fashion, which now favor sun
flowers and again some other gaudy but
short lived pet of the garden.

ish try some plants from the woods. The
partridge berry, little creeping vine
with evergreen leaves and curiously double
red fruit, will give satisfaction. Then
there are MOSES, ferns and other pretty
things that VIII give quite charming va
riety.
Dispute it who may, no place is fin
ished without its border Of trees and
shrubs, whether in their spring bloom
and beauty, or rs in the evergreens, lux
uriant in their perennial verdure. By
their employment we can, not only have
beaut full surroundings, but shut out an
unpleasant feature in the landscape or
extend a desirable view.
\ great many careful gardeners, under
the impression that the hardy Holland
bulbs need winter protection, put on a
heavy mulch in autumn and remove
early in spring when the tender shoots
which are then springing up need it
most. If any mulch is applied let it be
a thin coat of we'll rotted manure that
can be allowed to remain.
Study your plants. Notice their drink
ing habits. You will soon find out
which needs the most water You will
find they will take but very little if the
day is dark; if it is pleasant they will
require more. Especially the first part
of winter is this noticeable. The days
are short and often cloudy. The plants
have not filed the pots with roots,
therefore it is better to be on the safe
side and not give too much water.
In window gardening it should be re-
Inembered that we have all degrees of
temperature at command, from freezing
10 torrid. Shelves or brackets at differ
elt heights should be provided to meet
the requirements Of heat needed by diff
/ ferent plants. Coe,us on the window
sill will drop its leaves and 90 to pieces
on the top shelf it makes luxuriant
growth. Other instances might be given,
/ but care, watchfulness and a little ex-
perimenting will soon show the window
gardener where each specimen does best.

Not every farmer knows that whatever
Injuries the foliage of the potato is
direct injury TO the crop. The leaves of
the vine are the feeders of the root, and
are so essential TO the growth Of the
tuber that whenever they are injured
nature does all she can TO repair the
harm by her own recuperative forces
When potato bugs begin eating the
vine, but are stopped, the plant will put
on new leaves, and do its very best to
repair the damage. Further, any other
attack on foliage is Just as bad as the

The result altogether is that the

AppIyinx Manure in Winter.

| II the soil is properly prepared manure
may be applied to advantage at any time
of the year, so that it does not interfere
with other more pressing work. II land
is ploughed in the fall for corn, in no
way can manure be more advantageously
applied than by hauling it out in the
winter aud scattering it over the
ploughed ground direct from the wagon,
the whole to remain so until the follow
ing spring, when, by running the har-
row over it, it will not only thoroughly
intermiX the manure with the surface
soil "a matter of the greatest momenp,
but place the latter in the best possible
condition for checking off preparatory to
planting. But the gre test advantage of
this mode of applying manure for corn is
that the fertilizng properties of the
manure become completely absorbed by
the surface soil, and is in its most solu-
bic condition to be appropriated as soon
as needed by the feeder rootlets of the
young corn, giving it a most healthy and
rapid growth in the start. Not only so,
but by scattering it direct from the
wagon the work is not only done quicker,
but the manure is more evenly distributed
over the field than if thrown in heaps to
be hand-scattered in the spring BY
scattering it direct from the wagon the
work, too, is all done at once; whereas,
if thrown into heaps to remain so until
spring considerable portion of its
properties is either washed away by rains
or sinks into the ground, leaving spots
where the heaps stood too highly
manured for the balance of the field,
thereby occasioning loss in the general
yield of the crop.
Another thing, in hauling out manure
over ploughed ground in winter much
unnecessary labor to the horses, as well
as wear and tear of the wagon, particu.
larly when the ground is more or less
frozen, may be avoided by hauling it the
way the furrows run instead of across
them. Nor should it be attempted to
scatter the manure over too large sur
face. Like all other work on the farm,
what is worth doing at all is worth doing
well, and it is more profitable to manure
five acres well than to half manure ten
acres, the labor of cultivating the latter
being doubly that of the former and the
yield about the same. The work of
making and applying manure is certainly
the most important that can engage the
attention of the farmer, and he should
see to it that in the application none of
it is lost, and that the land on which it
is applied is all benefited alike. And
then. with thoroughly prepared soil,
carefully selected seed and thorough
cultivation, he may rest easy about the
yield. Baltimore Sun

The Home of the Coral.

Corals are of many colors, the most
beautiful of which is the red coral. This
grows on the rocks that lie in the bottom
of the a in little grooves of trees, each
stalk of which looks like red learless
shrub, bearing small starike flowers.
The largest coral reefs are found in warm
waters of the Pacific ocean, although
some varieties of coral grow in all oceans.
The coral employed in iewclry comes
mostly from the Mediterranean and Red
Seas the dark red is brought from the
African co st Of the Mediterranean, and
also from the Red Sea, the pink from the
coast Of Italy, the yellow from the coast
OF Sardinia, and the Black from the Red
Sea. The principal coral fisheries are
situated along the coast Of Sicily, at the
mouth Of the Adriatic Sea, in the strait
between Sardinia and Corsica and off the
coast Of Algeria

PonltrY Notes.

For lice, dust Persian insect powder
freely in every crack aud crevice, and on
the bodies of the hens, in among the
feathers.
For digestion give the birds plenty of
sharp gravel, aud also teaspoonrul of
fenugreek, in the soft food, for every ten
hens.
About one-third of the weight of an
egg is solid nutriment. This is more
than can be said OF meat. There are no
bones and tough places that have to be
laid aside.
Turn eggs twice week if they are to
be kept for future use. Eggs for hatch
ing will keep two or three weeks if turned
half over daily. They should be in a
place of moderate temperature, where
they will not freeze or be too warm
Those who live on land where there is
no gravel or sand should haul load and
spread it about the poultry yards. The
fowls will nioy it as much as though it
was something good to eat and in most
cases it will do them more good. Don't
forget this as the chickens can't talk and
don't know how to ask for what they
want.
Do not place one roost higher than the
other. When so arranged the hens will
all crowd to the highest, leaving the low
est ones unoccupied. The better plan is
to place them all on a level of the same
height and very low. If too high the
heavy fowls will be injured in getting
on or off, as many cases of "bumble foot"
occur from high roosts. There is no
necessity for having the roost any higher
than simply to allow a space under them
for the free circulation of air, VIII ch is
most essential to the well doing of the
flock.
