CULTIVATE FRUIT TREES.

All fruit trees succeed best with cult
walton, but there is more than one way
of cultivation. have planted row of
ounces along an open ditch one-fourth
mile long, where the plow and cultivator
cannot go. l first laid down around each
tree mulch of potato vines, then having
many loads of stones that were picked
from the meadows and berry fields, and
no other use for them, 1 made stone
pile over the mulch, close about the trees
and three feet distant. These stones are
equal to cultivation IS far as they 20.
The soil under stone pile, if always
loose and moist and free from grass or
weeds, what better cultivation is needed
AS the trees grow larger the limits of the
stone pile should be extended. I con-
slider this even better that ordinary cult
walton, for the roots of the ounce feed
near the surface, and are injured by cul-
tivation and severe winters if unprotected
by such mulch.-Green's Fruit Grocer.

ORCHARD STARVATION.

From the orchards of single small
neighborhood the waste fruit ground for
cider yields from 200 to 500 bushels of
apple seed to the nursery trade yearly.
In good year for fruit the crop of seed
In apples and stone fruits equals or ex-
ceeds the average crop of wheat in the
same locality. And then the LEAKAGE,
year by year carried away by the winds
OF autumn, removes large amount of
choice and necessary minerals extracted
from the soil by the roots. Added to
this is much of the same matter with
drawn from the soil and deposited per-
manently in the wood growth.
Most of the complaint of the un-
proftableness of orcharding comes from
ignoring the demands of the crop upon
the soil, and of the SOIL thus weakened, =,
upon the orchardist. An underfed or
chard is apt to prove as Improbable as
an underfed animal. The fruit is scanty
in quantity, size and quality, and such
fruit is getting less and less profitable
every year. According to my experience
orchards must receive as good culture
and as much manure .ss; grain field ;
and when they get it will pay as well
as, or rather better than, most otlie,
crops.-Orcha,a and Garden.

REMOVING STUNPS.

1t IS no easy matter to remove green
stumps from a newly cleared field, and to
do so at once for any considerable num-
Der will be found to cost more than the
use of the land they occupy will be
worth, until they have decayed so that
their removal by fire or otherwise will be
comparatively easy. Stumps that have
partly decayed roots can often be twisted
out out by placing the largest end of a
long and stout piece of timber against
the side of the stump and claiming it
fast, then with team at the other end of
the lever pulling in the direction of a
circle around it. A method that has
been recommended is to bore a hole rs
deep as you can down to the centre of the
stump in the fall, and put in two ounces
OF saltpetre and plug it up. In the
spring remove the plug and fill with kero-
sene oil, and afterward ignite it. This,
it is said, will cause the stump to smoul-
der away entirely. The experiment is
one that can be easily tried There is no
doubt that saturating seasoned stump
with oil by boring into it or otherwise
will greatly facilitate its burning. AS q
general thing it will be found best to
leave green stumps to season and then
destroy them as fast as you can with fire.
Stumps are expeditiously blown out with
dynamite, but few farmers care to handle
this explosive. When expense is no OBJ
ject patent stump pullers may be resortcd

ABOUT CUTTING ASPARAGUS.

A cultivator of this delicious vegetable
says that it is bad practice in cutting
asparagus to leave the small shoots that are
not large enough for use. The better way
Is to cut all off clean, until the middle of
June. Then all cutting should cease,
and the plants be allowed to make their
summer growth. The old practice of
planting the roots deeply below the sur
face, and cutting the shoots as soon as
they pushed through the ground, with
barely green tip, is exploded. Green
and not bleached is the asparagus for
flavor. All weeds should be kept down
and the soil stirred enough to- be at all
times loose and friable on the surface.

CELERY IN REDS.

The ordinary distances at which celery
is planted is in rows from three to three
and half feet apart, with at least three
plants to the foot in the rows. At these
distances celery large enough for all prac-
tical purposes can be raised, provided the
soil is sufficiently rich, and proper atten-
tion is given in the cultivation and earth
ing-up. AS will readily be seen, row
of twenty y-fve feet will give as many
stalks as will be required for an ordinary
family. But there are cases where the
land for even this quantity cannot well
be spared, or where the celery is not so
much wanted for the table as for soups,
stews, and the like, where size of stalks
is no object. In this case we have sue
ceeded we'll in growing a par. Of the crop
in beds. For example, a piece of land
selected, say, 3x2O, can easily be made to
grow $50 celery plants of quite sufficient
size for the purposes mentioned, and, in,
deed, that will also do for the table, at a
pinch.
First, the soil may as we'll be taken out
three or four inches deep and laid to the
side two feet six inches wide. This will
afterward be useful in furnishing soil for
f"' 'i"' S"'eihh up. lSACCpt HI very TiCu
soil, good coating of manure should be
spaded into this trench, and then the bed
y mai ,rpauaz1 Rla9ta Th- Wanting will
DC tiiiit>l~ A.. in Jo. .-L..--- .''.----.-.-,
be planted in this bed one foot apart, and
the plants set four inches from each other.
All that is necessary during the summer
is to keep the weeds down, and the soil
occasionally stirred.
As it is supposed that this crop is
mainly for fall and winter usc it is not
necessary to do anything until the end of
September or October, and then only suf-
ticient to keep the stalks we'll together, it
being we'll known that for late keeping,
celery is better not to be thoroughly
bleached when put away. AS part of
the crop may be wanted for first use,
there is nothing to prevent one end of the
bed from being earthed up and got ready
for use first, selecting as many as are likely
to be wanted. Of course, where great
quantity is grown, ,r'whcre land is no OBJ
ject, this method is not likely to be much
followed. But among such as have only
little land, and yet want to make the most
of it, we commend the foregoing to their
| consideration. 1t will be seen that land
for this purpose is not wanted until some
of the early crops ore ready to clear of

Cultivation Of the Sweet Cassaya.

1t is predicted that the cultivation of
the sweet cassava, from which is made
starch, glucose and tapioca, will at no
very distant date become one of the i'm
pcrtant industries of Florida. If all that
is claimed by those who advocate its in
PRODUCTION be true, it is one of the most
productive, easily cultivated, and remu-
nerative Of crops, and its cultivation will
add much to the resources of the State.

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
STIFF NECK IN A COLT.

Any injury to the muscles of the neck
may cause stiffness; an injury to the
spinal cord, which passes through the
vertebr@ of the neck, will have the same
effect. BY throwing colt for an opera
tion by means of a rope around the neck,
such injury as would produce this stiff
ness can scarcely be avoided. To throw
colt safely proceed as follows: Put
strong straps or noosed ropes around the
Pasterns, gradually draw these together,
and push the colt over on thick bed of
straw; then tie the feet fast and proceed
with the operation.-Ne,oY York Times.

TREATMENT OF YOUNG CHICKENS.

The young chickens should not be
stinted in their diet until after the downy
coverings have gone, and good coat of
feathers has appeared. The moultine sea
son Is another critical time in their lives.
and II they are not generously supplied
with good wholesome food they are liable
to sicken and die from little exposure or
change in the weather. The strong It's
sues of the body are now being formed
and they should be literally supplied
with egg-shells, oyster shells, or bones.
Their craving for such food will manifest
itself at once. The egg-sheIls should be
dried before the fire, and then ground as
finely as corn-mcal. The oyster and clam
shells should be pounded and crushed in
the same way. The bones should be burnt
and crushed as far as possible, and the
whole mixed up together. If distributed
around the yard where the chickens have
been accustomed to find food they will
eat freely of this mixture every day. To
be very particular about the food it would
be an improvement upon this plan to mix
the ground shells and bones with corn
meal, and cook the mess before the fire.
Add little linseed meal, and feed the
chicks with it every morning Such a
diet as this supplies the chickens not sim
ply with fat, but with the elements neces-
sary for the growth of feathers, bone and
muscle. If they are not allowed to roam
about in woods and fields they should
have chopped-up fresh vegetables.
Usually the tops of vegetables that are
thrown away before using on the table
will do for this. Such dict, l thiIl,
