STOCK IN ORCHARDS.
Low Headed Trees-Pasturing With Sheep,
Swine and Chickens.

Low Headed Trees-Pasturing With Sheep,
Swine and Chickens.
Following is a report in brief of pa
per read at the eighteenth annual session
of the New Jersey Horticultural society
by Mr.. Ira j. Blackwell. He said:
1t may be thought that he who will al
low any kind of stock in the orchard is
not practical frultgrower. There are
more sides than one to most questions,
and the problem of growing good fruit
at the least cost is an interesting subject.
In this country of high winds and burn
ing sunshine low topped trees are ne
cessity, or, more properly speaking, are
not so easily blown over by high winds
or scalded by the sun, and the fiat
headed borer seldom works where the
tree is shaded, very important points in
favor of low branched trees. Another
very strong argument for low trees is
the better facility of harvesting the fruit,
and as ordinarily grown, especially in
unsprayed orchards, there will be many
windfalls, which can be marketed for
various uses, while in cultivated orchards,
as the term is usually applied, the fruit
is understandable for any purpose until
washed, which costs about as much as
the fruit will sell for. Perhaps the
strongest argument against the plow in
the orchard is the washing Of the land,
but the pillow is little worse than the cul-
tivator or harrow.
Peaches may be grown perhaps not
cheaper by mulching, but just as good
as by cultivation, and this mulch may be
either weeds, stones or dirt hauled round
them. The trees will grow just as well,
| perhaps better. No one will advocate
| putting young orchard in grass. Sew
| eral years of cultivation must intervene
before the trees get sufficient start TO be
able to take care of themselves so far as
cultivation is concerned.
My object is to show that low headed
trees, with needful pruning and liberal
fertilizing, will grow good fruit, but
practically better fruit without the
pillow and cultivator than with, and low
headed apple and pear trees will bear
considerably younger than trees trained
high enough to admit of team passing
under the limbs. The best method is to
pasture sheep. swine and chickens in the
orchard after the trees are well estab
| hshed.
Sheep are great feeders, and few weeds
can grow where they run. The oil from
the wool is probably good remedy fol
the apple tree borer. Sheepan hogs viii
not interfere with each other except al
lambing time. A hog is the only good
plowman for the orchard that works fol
nothing. The chicken is an untiring bug
catcher

With the bearing varieties that are sal.
able in the market, grown on low topped
trees, after being well established they
are seeded to grass and pastured with
sheep and swine, and the more chickens
in proportion the greater the profit, as the
chickens do better for the shade and a
hundred well fed fowls to the acre will
help make the orchard thrifty. The chick.
en- and fruit combination is one Of the best
partnerships, beneficial to each, provided
you keep the chickens from roosting in
the trees. The hog combination has the
one drawback that sometimes the hogs
get to barking the trees, while, on the
other hand, know no other way to make
good, healthy pork so cheap as in an APP.

yer, the fruit to ripen successfully from
July to December. No man that has hogs
to eat the fallen apples can afford to pick
up the apples for the cider mill or still at
10 cents per bushel. The hogs will pay q
better price clear of expenses.

Poultry Manure.

Poultry droppings, like that from other
farm stock, varies in value according to
the kind or amount of food consumed,
and especially in the treatment given to
the droppings. If largely mixed with
litter, ashes, etc., or is very wet, poultry
manure has lost much of its ammonia
and is of less value than where the accu.
mutation has been kept dry and mixed
with just enough dry soil to act as an
absorbent. Greiner says the buyer can
afford to pay 20 to 25 cents per hundred
pounds for well kept poultry manure.
Poultry manure is rich in available nj.
trogen and is usually kept separate from
stable manure to apply as special fer.
tilizer to such garden crops as onions,
celery plants, spinach, etc. Mixed with
twice its bulk of dry loan and applied
evenly it will do no harm to seeds or
plants. Greiner prefers to use it as top
dressing in the garden, and this is ia.
vorite plan with many other gardeners.

DIAGRAMS FOR JACKETS AND TRIMMINGS.
The present mode Of trimming waists is
so distinctive that it requires description.
1t consists principally In some form of a
bertha or bretelles, and these are so com
pick in appearance as to brighten the nov

derstands the first principle, " lich is this
the half circle All the berthas and high
plated capes and like trimming gain their
style by the plating of goods that are cut
out in half circle, so that what is a small
plat at the point becomes large and loose
one at the outer edge. The diagram shows
one style of this trimming both applied and
in outline, and with that as guide every
woman can understand the principle, and
the clever one will vary 1t according to the
needs Of the case. This can be applied to
high or low necks for children and old wo-
men. 1t can be plain, trimmed with lace,
fringe or passementerie, or it can be lined
with contrasting material The corners
may be cut off, or it may be vandyked.
There is no limit to the variations an intel
ligent dressmaker may evolve. Made Of
wide lace over light silk it would garnish
the plainest frock.
Waists are made with high collars and
with the neck cut quite low, finished with
ruffies. The latter require little care, as
the neck has but TO be piped or bound, but
the high collar requires special treatment.

The Problem of Heredity.

The scientific shibboleth of our time
is heretlity. The word is~on everyone's
tongue. Viewing Il fallen fellow mortal,
it is quite the fashion to sh:.keone head
and say: .:Oh, heredity accounts for
him; blood will tell" And with this
formula we are accustomed to measure
our fellows, much as a clerk measures
cloth. And lest there should be any
doubt about the method, the man Of
science comes to our aid. ''Yes,' he saws,
''you are quite right. Your formula ex-
presses the universal principle of heredi-
ty. We word it little differently, but
the idea is the same. Like begets like
is the way we put it. 1t applies toevery
living thing in the world. Notice this
bacillus, for example. Even as you OBJ
serve it beneath the microscope, it di-
vides, and Two baccilli are there in place
of one. This process will continue in
definitely, under proper conditions, until
there are myriads of baccilli there, but
every one will be precisely like the first.
The cholera bacillus never changes into
the bacillus of consumption, nor that in
to the bacillus Of diphtheria. Each pro-
duces its own kind and no other. Like
begets like 1t is beautifully simple,
unequivocally true and of universal ap-
plication.' It is little wonder that SO
relatively simple, so true and so sweep
ing a proposition has proved alluring.
All universal formula are so. But it
should not be forgotten that a seemingly
simple principle may become very COM
pIex, indeed, in it's application. So it is
here. Indeed, stumbling block of most
alarming dimensions appears at the very
outset, if we attempt to apply the prin-
ciple of heredity intelligently to any
higher organism. in the fact that two
parents are to be considered. These par
ents are not precisely like one another,
hence, in the nature of the case, the off
spring must be either identical with one
parent and unlike the other, or else iden-
tical with neither. Here theory wavers,
hut experience proves that the offspring
always combines in some measure the
qualities of both parents; hence, that it
never is precisely like either of them.

be within hearing of the exquisite ma
chinery she has set in motion. However
engrossing other occupations may be,
one side of her must be awake to call or
cry; she must be ready, as g loving cic-
tator, to encourage good and to repress
wrong. The seeds of physical and moral

The South Carolina Liquor Law.

At the present day the most notable
instance of paternalism in government is
the liquor law in South Carolina, which
is the result OF populist teachings that
have lately been widely disseminated IN
that portion Of the country, and d bold
attempt to perpetuate the power of the
so-called Reform faction which now do
inmates the State, by means of great
monopoly of the liquor traffic. For
those who are not familiar with the act
commonly known as the Dispensary law
the following brief explanation may be
Of interest: All parties are prohibited
from tratficking in any distilled or malt
liquor, while the State is authorized to
establish dispensaries for its exclusive
sale. A general board of control exer-
cises supervision over the business and

Liquor is sold in packages from one half
pint to five gallons. Beer is also sup
piled in pint bottles. The labels of most
of the bottles are surmounted by the seal
and motto of the State, while a palmetto
tree IN raised surface occupies the reverse
side. No liquor is allowed to be sold to
minors or habitual drunkards, ner can it
be consumed On the premises where it is
sold. Any stranger desiring to make a
purchase must be identified and vouehed
for by some responsible person. He then
fills out an application, stating his age,
residence, the amount he desires to pur-
chase and the use to which it is to be
put The application being signed and
attested by the dispenser OF his clerk the
applicant receives the liquor. Distilled
