About Cultivating Orchards.

The diverse treatment which orchards
receive throughout the country affords
lesson, showing the great benefit of Civ
ing them the best Management, and the
loss from neglected treatment. Neglect
is too common, and poor crops and
scabby fruit is the result. In contrast
with these neglected orchards, are a few
TO which the owners give the best atten-
ton, and who receive good prices for the
copious returns of handsome fruit. One
orchard of this class, says Country Cen
tleman, which has grown to full bearing
size, affords the owner a handsome profit
every year, while his careless neigh bors
receive not more than one-fourth of his
returns. This well-managed orchard is
kept in grass, which is grazed short by
sheep, the grass afforded them being only
one-half or two-thirds as much as would
give them full feed, the deficiency being
made up with grain or meal. This is fed
to them regularly in long board troughs.
The sheep eat every wormy apple as it
falls, and the fruit is thus keptnearly clear
from insects. The droppings of the sheep
enrich the ground, and a top dressing OF
barn manure is added yearly.
The sales of the fruit from this or
chard for many years have been equal to
500, from each acre it occupies. The
shade of the apple prevents rank growth
of the grass, and the grazing of the sheep
gives it somewhat the appearance of a
lawn. The owners of some other excel
lent orchards, who cannot use sheep, APP
ply yard or barn manure more copiously
In one of the finest visited, the annual APP
plication of manure had gradually made
II two or three inches deep; the result
was superb crop of apples. Other or
chards, with less manure, are kept clean
and mellow with gang-plow or Acme

Timely Work.

Celery-BIay still be sown for the table,
but it is rather late to sow for market,
unless one is prepared to irrigate, says
the Farmer and Fruit Grower. If so, one
may keep the plants from going to seed in
the spring drouth and market it before
the northern article comes on, even in
May and June. As this fall seems likely
to be wet, it had better be sown in boxes
or beds that can be covered from the rain.
Sow the seed on the surface of a deep,
mellow, rich bed, and keep them wet by
means of wet gunny sacks laid on the
ground until just before they sprOut.
Shade for a few days, gradually accus-
toming them to the sun.
Turnips, in drills IS inches apart,
in mellow land, and firm the soil well
over them by treading or rolling.
Carrots.-Same treatment as for tur-
nips. An excellent feed for cows in the
spring.
Beets-Are, like cabbages, a safe but
not highly profitable crop. Plant now
for home use; next month tor the
northern market. The turnip-rooted va
rieties are preferred for the south. Red
Egyptian tbrnip, early blood turnip and
Bassano are recommended. Beets require
deep, rich, mellow soil they are gross
feeders and like plenty of heterogeneous
manure, but not coarse and strawy. Gem
Ter recommends twelve bushels of salt per
acre, and Director DePass got good re-
suits from the use of salt. If for hand
culture, SOW the seed in drills foot to
eighteen inches apart; if for horse Gull
ture, thirty to thirty-SiX inches. Bear in
mind that each grain contains several dis
tinct seeds. Soak the seed in warm
water twenty-four hours, frequently re-
newing, but take care that it does not be-
come sour. An acre will require from
four to eight pounds according TO the dis
lance of the drills apart.
Lettuce.-Sow only for local market
and table as yet There is a limited de-
mand for it in the north all winter for
decorating tables, but this requires fancy
culture. Drop few seed in hills nine
inches apart and when well established
thin to one plant ina hill.
Peas.-In protected localities, or in
South Florida, peas and potatoes may be
planted now Look out for drainage for
these as for all other crops this year, es-
pecially if the land is heavy, for the indi-
cations are for wet winter.
Tomatoes.-In South Florida, where
frost is not to be apprehended, tomatoes,
egg plants, cucumbers, beans and all ten
der plants may be sown now.
Rye.-Rye is particularly adapted to
this state, as it will grow where neither
wheat nor oats win make a crop, and es-
pecially on sandy soil Mr. N Wood
worth, an authority, says that only the
spring or Florida rye should be sown, as
our winters are too mild to give rest,
which all winter grains seem to require.
Many have failed to get good results be-
cause they did not sow the spring rye
The true Florida rye is great and rapid
grower; as many as forty-two heads have
been known to grow from a single kernel
and twenty to twenty-five heads are com

but the two that we prefer above all
others are the Boston Market" and
''White Cos" Both of these are fine for
market or for home use. When these are
perfectly grown they are not to be sur
passed by any other kind.
2. The first sowing is usually made in
October or early November IN the open
ground broadcast and when very severe
weather Is threatened a mulch of straw is
put over the plants to protect them. If
not already sown the seed should now be
sown in cold frames. In Middle Georgia
the first planting is set out from Jan.
Is to Feb IS.
3. Organic manure of some kind, good
stable manure compost, or that with cot
ton seed as a basis. This should be

two before Settingout time if practicable
To make good heads there must be plenty
of nitrogen in the soil. After the plants
get well established top dressing Of
nitrate of soda is good application A
teaspoonful evenly and closely around
each plant will make a fine head gener-
ally.
4. The rows need not be more than 20
inches apart The Cos should stand y
inches apart in the row, but the "Boston
Market can be planted twice as close as
this. A great many gardeners find lettuce
one of their most profitable crops When
fine heads are put upon the market early
they find a very ready sale at remunera-
tive prices. The crop is out of the way
early in the spring and the same land can
be planted to beans, tomatoes or the like.

The Proper Way to Start an Orchard.

The proper way to raise peech trees is
to plant the seed where the tree is in
tended to stand and bud when the young
tree is l year old. Plant the seed in
autumn, if possible, as all seeds of that
kind ought to be planted when they fall
from the trees. Peach trees have tap
roots which nurserymen remove by
blowing under the rows. Yet one should
not raise Seeding peaches. While it
is desirable that peach trees should
have tap roots in order to secure to
them a greater age, a nursury grown
tree-taking for granted that the nur-
sery where the tree has been grown is re-
tablets preferable to the risk taken in
seedlings, which, after waiting five years
may turn out unsatisfactory. When good
peach stock can be bought at 80 and SO
per dozen, it is waste of space and time
to try to raise Seeding plants. While
peaches prefer sandy soil, those with
good tap roots will do well anywhere. In
places where water is apt to accumulate
a trench should be made so as to allow it
to remain, since more peach trees die

We know of no substances that will af-

than cotton-seed meal and acid phosphate
Bone dust is an unrivaled fertilizer for
cabbage and potatoes, but it does not af-
ford the two elements mentioned quite so
cheaply as the meal and phosphate. Give
the land plenty of humus and you will re-
quire less nitrogerous manure, and give a
