FARM NOTES.

A good orchard is almost necessity on
the farm. and a full variety of fruits is
necessary to make a good orchard. At
least a sufficient number of trees to fur
nish good supply should be grown.
After harvest work is over is a good
time to underdrain the orchard. In many
places this work can be made very profit
able in the better growth and vigor of the
trees. A little planning, however, should
be made so that thorough work can be
done at as small a cost as possible.
In the experience of many farmers, al
falfa is the best renovator and the best
green crop for fertiizing soils of any thus
far tried. 1t not only kills all noxous
weeds, but puts into the soil in quantities
manurial elements found to be invaluable
to the growth of any crop Many expert
ments among farmers have proved it to
be fifty per cent. better than red clover.
The American Agriculturist, in an ex
haustive article on the cultivation of oats,
says the reasons why the average yield of
oats is so low are weeds wet and I'M
drained land, starvation, poor filth and
late sowing, and adds: "a very large
proportion of our land is so wet in the
spring for want of undertaking that it
is not in fit condition to p!ow until it is
too late 10 SOW oats with any reasonable
expectation Of getting large yield"

At a recent meeting of the Emira
Farmers Club. Mr.. G. ". Hoffman report
ed that he had just purchased a carload
of wood ashes and then spoke of how they
should be applied to land planted with
potatoes. He said that if obliged to be
sparing in their use he would put them on
the entire surface before planting. In
applying on hills planted care must BE-
taken to prevent contact with the stalks
if up. The object is to feed the roots, so
when ashes are placed on the surface de.

and carry the I've diluted downward. An
other member regarded wood ashes as the
very best fertilizer to improve both the
yield and quality. of potatoes.

Meeting of the Pickwick Club.

Anthropologists held a meeting recently
papers to each other concerning the early
settlement of the Potomac valley. They ar
rived at the conclusion that there had been
rowing bands of Indians there before the
white men came. As each learned man
made his grave statements corroborating
each other they nodded dignifedly, looked
over their spectacies and resolved TO print
their papers for future generations of
learned men to read and inform themselves
thereby upon this topic. The names of the
