There is scarcely farmer in this
country who uses any fertilizer for
his orchard, simply because he has
always been taught that the old
orchard would take care of itself.
And what mistake. 1t needs the
same care and attention as the land
devoted to other crops. Why not
renovate the old orchard? Cut down
the worthless trees; pillow the whole
area, SOW to white clover and timothy,
put on about 200 pounds of muriate of
potash and 200 pounds of dissolved
bone per acre. Keep the orchard
trimmed and each year apply chemi-
cal fertilizers in about this proportion
per acre; nitrate of soda, 100 pounds,
ground bone, 200 pounds; muriate of
potash, 300 pounds. By little sys-
tematic work and study every farmer
could materially increase his profit
with little extra work, and perhaps
little outlay of money. If the or
chard is hard and unproductive, first
put it in fit condition for the grow
ing of crops and the trees.

The efficacy of the use Of the oil bag
in calming the waves in the immediate
vicinity of a ship at sea has been
abundantly proved. In many cases
of exceptionally stormy weather, how
ever. the area Affected by the oil as
ordinarily used has been found in
sufficient TO give the ship the protec-
ton from the force Of the waves that
was desirable. IL Is now proposed 70
discharge the oil at such q distance
that a wide circle of smooth surface
will be created in which the ship can
ride in safety until the storm has
spent its fury. This plan involves the
shooting of saturated sponges or cot
ton from q pneumatic gun, which is
considered preferable to a powder gan
as obviating the danger of igniting the
oil-sOaked sponge. The idea = re-
garded with favor in shipping circles,
aud it is understood than an applica-
ton has been made to Congress for an
appropriation to test its efficiency.
