Stock in the Orchard.

Edward Van Alstyne, in a recent article on
orchard management in the Rural New

1t will be observed that the stock he would
turn into an orchard does not include cattle
or horses. which could reach up and mutilate
bearing branches: There are those who
have followed the practice land the writer is
one). when the trees have come into full
bearing, of stopping cultivation, seeding
down to variety of pasture grasses, then
fill the orchard with stock; sheep, swine or
calves. feeding the stock some supplementary
food in addition to what they get from the
orchard. They will keep down the grass.
destroy worm-nfested apples. and fertiize
the trees at the same time. The trees will
not make so rank growth, but it will be
solid wood, aud there will be a greater ten
dency to produce fruit buds. The difference
in the expense of caring for the orchard as
comp red with the above is reduced very ma.
terialy; no small item in this day of scarce
and high.priced labor. l have followed this
plan with two orchards for % years. and
with third for 10. and have had large an
nual crops of fine apples, in some cases when
cultivated orchards did not produce. l could
also name not few Others who have been
equally successful by following this method.
l 10 not say that this will wo X in every case
and on all soils, for / do not believe there is
any one only and best method. neither do 1
believe in the orchard being turned into q
meadow from which annual crops of hay are
1 am glad to record that the time
has come when the man who follows this
plan dares lift bis voice in public and take his
place in the same society as the excessive cul-
ivator. 1t is results we are AFTER
