A writcs ia American Gardening de-
scribes The following bad Results OF
planting orchard trees too near to-
gethcr. Even in hslf-grown trees the
branches often touch each other, and
even interlock. They interfere with
the convenient handling of the ladders
when the fruit is picked, and spraying
is nearly an impossibility. They pre-
vent working among the trees, which
need room to develop the foliage, and
also light to bring out perfect fruit.
The crowded orchards will gradually
become a tangled mass, and diseases
will have their own way II is, how
ever not uncommon Mt the West to
plant trees near together and to thin
them out afterwards. There are three
modes Of thinning, the wisest
Of which Is to take ont every
other tree and every other row, leav-
ing onc-duarter Of the number at only
one.balf distances. Another and bet
ter mode IL neatly figured by the above
mentioned writer, taking out regularly
9ap-ha!f the stress and leaving them
nbout two-thirds distances. 1t is
mode used to some extent ct the West,
and described by the Country Gentle
man some years ago. 1t consists sim
ply in taking out every alternate tree
in every row, taking care that each
remaining tree stands exactly opposite
to the space where the tree has been
dug in the parallel row. This may
seem very simple process, and 1t
removes only half the trees. If the
orchard has in the first place been set
in rows parallel with the sides of
the field, the process here described
will be found to have effected the most
singular change of regular diagonal
rows over the whole field. Suppose,
by way of illustration, an orchard is
set with trees twenty feet apart in
squares Take out every other tree
in every row over tho whole orchard
and the remaining trees will be found
running diagonally and twenty-eight
feet apart-that is, one-half the origi-
nal number of trees will remain and
stand at regular distances, This short
measure is given only by way of illus
traton, but it may be applied to any
other distance. The distances in the
first orchard represent the two sides
Of a right-angled triangle, and the
new distances the hypothenuso.

STRAWBERRIES FOR PROFIT.

Mr.. Crawford, the distinguished
strawberry culturist, tells the rural
New Yorker of his experiment with
an eighth of an acre, the plants being
set in rows four feet apart. A row of
Hebron potatoes was planted between.
All the work of cultivation was done
by hand, and rich soil caused fine
growth. The product was almost fifty
bushels of marketable potatoes, or at
nearly 400 to the acre.
In answer to the question how he
would plant two acres for yearly sup
ply he stated that he would divide the
land into two sections, and set out a
new bed on one of them this spring,
and on the other the next.
After bearing he would pillow under.
SOW buckwheat, pillow that under and
SOW rye, blowing it in time for plant
lug. Stable manure may be put on
after the buckwheat is turned under,
Commercial fertilizers may be applied
in spring to give the plants start,
and again when the runners are start
ing. Matted rows do not need much
maturing. The alternate course will
be used the next year. Among the
plants recommended to grow between
the rows are early potatoes, sweet
corn and bush beans.

ried the dispatch to Louisville,
Tenn, accompanied part OF the way
by Thomas F. Carter as escort and
guide. Miss Love delivered the dis.
patch to John L. Brown. who was
then boy only about 13 years of C,
and he carried the dispatch from
there to Knoxville, through the enc.
my's lines, a distance of about thir.
teen miles, and delivered it to Gen.
Burnside, whose army was being be-
sieged In Knoxville by the rebels
Gen. Burnside said that the dispatch
was very valuable one TO the public
service. That was shown by the fact
that in January, 1873, Congress
passed an act granting to Miss Mary
Love $4,000 for her services. The
undertaking was a perilous one and
It's accomplishment a creditable act,
and "for it he deserves the thanks of
all the lovers of their country" the
committee says. The evidence shows
that he had to get out Of Louisville
through the encmy's pickets and into
Knoxville through their lines. Miss
Love states that he was the only per-
son at Louisville that could be found
to undertake to carry the dispatch
through.
1t is said that one soldier, Charles
Francis, lost his life In an attempt to
carry copy Of the dispatch through
by another route.
