About Orchard Culture.

About Orchard Culture.
 From our Anglo-Saxon ancestors we have not derived a high estimate of the value of orchard products. They were a race of meat and cheese and bread eat, CTS, If they gave any attention to 8 few fruit trees by the hedgerows or in the dooryards, it was principally with view to the distilled products; for they were also a race of hard drinkers.
 Fruit trees in the moist and mellow at- mosphere of England could endure the high pruning which was practiced for the sake Of utilizing the ground beneath them for grain and turnips; but under the fierce sun and the desiccating air of America, these suited trunks and gutted tops are mistake. Tbe Saxon swine. herds ax was a sufficient pruning tool; it's savage gashes healed over after fashion and the tree lived 8 hundred years. But apple tree wood in oar American climate, when wouYded in such barbarous fashion, season cracks and rots, and the old apple tree has a hole into which 6 man could thrust his head, the woodpeckers build their nests in it, and by and by in some of the gales of our ickle weather the veteran, prema- turely aged, splits down and breaks pite- ously over, having lived out only half it's days.
 Our forefathers, always on the move westward, planted orchards on the river bottoms, whose soil, while rich with or ganic remains, had suffciency of the mineral elements, at least for time, to produce an abundance of good fruit. The depth of the alluvium made tap,root whose great descent encouraged a top whose loftiness was 8 marvel to men ac- customed to the pancake soils of New England. In the Muskingum Valley, in Ohio, the writer has many time climbed great old Early Chandler which he full ly believes was 60 feet high. Apples from the top smote the soft plowed ground so hard that they sank out Of sight (for it was contrary to Puritan doc urine to give the soil up to 8 tree which produced such an unsanctifed beverage as hard cider) or else transfxed theln- selves on one of the numerous cattle gnawed sprouts which disfigured it's base. A load of hay could be driven un derneath ir, ard even then the man on top could not reach the lowest branches,
 But the fruit from these river bottoms never did keep we'll, and it deteriorated in this respect, with the cultivation of the soil in farm crops. The corn and wheat rapidly exhaused the phosphoric acid, which is an element specifically deter mined to the seed; and potatoes took the potash. The apples and fpeaches lost
