horticultural Notes.

1t rarely pays to crop in an old orchard.
Buckwheat is a good grain to grow In
orchards.
An old peach orchard can rarely be
renovated to an advantage
1t Is the vigor and not the size of the
seed that determines its quality.
A we'll drained lime soil is the best 70!
grapes; plant two year old vines.
Wood ashes contain the elements to
make healthy trees and good fruit.
A seed drill and garden cultivator are
labor saving implements in the garden
The best tree labels are made from

Gil
Poultry manure or wood ashes, make q
splendid top dressing for the onion bed.
1t is only in exceptional cases that II
will pay to set out young peach trees in
the same places where the old ones grew.
1t is too often the case that new varie.
ties of fruits and vegetables are put upon
the market before they have been fully
tested
Fruit growers cannot understand any
too soon that growing fruit is growing Q
crop, and the soil should be managed &C
cordingly.
With quite number of crops, both in
the garden and truck patch, some COM
mercial fertilizers can be used to good
advantage
Corn, or corn fodder, with any kind Of
roots, are good crops to grow in young
orchard. Cultivated crops are better than
small grain.
Prune trees early for growth and late
for fruit; prune little at a time and
avoid the necessity for heavy pruning at
any one time
The best and the finest manure should
be used in the garden. Coarse manure
interferes not only with the preparations
but with the cultivation.
The objection to using fresh manure
with small fruits, is that it often has
tendency to burn the plants or to induce
too strong growth Of wood

To keep eggs we know OF no more
simple and efficient way than the one
We have always practiced, and which
was successfully practiced by our
father for the last thirty or forty
years. This is by taking none but
perfectly fresh and sound eggs and
setting them in layers on the top or
small end, in a box or basket or any
thing that will hold eggs. We do not
put anything between them, nor do
we put them up air tight" but we
always keep them in a cellar. Eggs
that we have put away in this posi-
ton were after being kept six monthA
as good and fresh as the day they
were laid and we have never found
one that was spoiled or stale among
them, when thus served. We feel
confident that they would keep good
and fresh for one year Lancaster

Salt for Potatoes.

At a farmers meeting rec emily held
in Ireland. a practical potato raiser
speaking on the subject Of the dis
eases of potatoes said: I'VE have
often been led to inquire whether the
growth of turnips has any connection
with potato disease, as very little was
known Of the malady before the ex-
tensive cultivation OF turnips and their
consumption by sheep on the ground,
by which, as we have attempted to
show the organic compounds of the
soil are increased. What tends to
convince us more on this point is that
potatoes grown upon lands manurially
rich, have large proportion of dis
eased tn ers while those planted on
maiden soils or on moor or common
land, as in the West the flavor is de-
cidedly better, and the exemption
from disease is greater An applica-
ton OF 10 cwt. OF salt per acre upon
oat stubble toward the end OF January
once had q most surprising effect
Part OF it was cultivated for mangolds
which were a beautiful crop part was
planted white potatoes, which were
free from disease; while on the adjoin-
ing plot OF four acres unsalted the
potatoes were scarcely worth lifting.
In further confirmation of these state
ments we have set forth, we
give the following extract from
an admirable report on salt
published under the auspices oil
the Salt Chamber Of Norwich. John
