THE COMMERCIAL ORCHARD
A Profitable Farm Industry, Provided
It is Conducted Judiciously and
With Common Sense.

Commercial orchards are being
planted on a large scale in many sec
tions of the apple regions. Large
contiguous blocks reaching one to
1900 acres, are being handled success
fully, yet we believe that the same
number of trees planted in 10 to 20
acre plots would give better results
1t has occurred to us in our observa-
tions covering a number of years that
1t would be better in planting 40 or so
acres, as the case may be. to plant in
blocks, leaving avenues at least 100
yards wide, which could be cultivated
in small fruits or other crops. Our
reasons for this is that in our expe-
rlence in packing apples we have found
that after the trees have become large
the limbs almost If not reaching each
other that the fruit is not so perfect
in the large orchards as it is in the
smaller ones. and have come to the
| conclusion that it is easier to combat
the ravages of insects and fungi in the
smaller plots than it is in very large
plantations. AS the extended and un-
| frequented forest is the habitation of
VIM ullillello anu Dlldo, SO may AAO
extensive orchards, after becoming
I thickly grown, become to greater ex-
tent the habitation and harbor for in
sects and fungi, than the smaller and
more frequented blocks. AS a large
| percent of the growth in the develop
ment of trees, fruits and plants is sup
piled by light and air, we perhaps give
too little consideration to this feature
of fruit culture, and have suffered by
doing so. We know Of no vocation
that requires the application of good
judgment and common sense more, or
one that pays any better on the cap
ital invested, when applied. than COM
mercial orcharding. The individual
must take the best information he can
get as to soil, varieties, care and cul.
ture, and intelligently apply it to his
needs, governed by local environment:
with which he is surrounded. Do this
and he will succeed in growing an or.
chard. The time for gathering oul
commercial crops is also very import
ant. Fruit should always be gathered
when at the proper stage of ripening
regardless of the time of season.

CHERRIES FROM SPROUTS.
Unless the Tree Root Belongs to Pro-
nounced Variety Success Is
Problematical.

Answering an inquiry in the Journal
OF Agriculture, Jacob Faith says:
Sprouts that grow around Early Rich
mond cherry trees will produce Early
Richmond cherries if the tree root is
an Early Richmond cherry Twenty
three years ago we grated Early Rich
mond cherries on one-year-old Seeding
plum root; grew them in the nursery
one year. Ninety-five per cent. of the
plum seedlings came up as they were
grated in the crown of the plum roots,
and about 25 per cent. of the cherry
gratis grew. The plum roots also
threw up plum sprouts, which we dug
up, cut all plum sprouts from the roots
and planted where we wanted them to
grow. Set them about three inches
deeper than usual. The second year
they commenced, few cherry-sprouts
from the roots, also a few plum
sprouts. The plum sprouts we dug up
and destroyed; the cherry sprouts we
! planted in the orchard. OF course.
they bore the same fruit as the parent
tree, and l had no more bother with
the plum sprouts. Thus start can be

This will apply to other varieties Of
cherries and plums, but grating stone
fruit is very particular job If one
fourth of the gratis grow it is good
luck. Stone fruits. such as peach,
cherry and plum, are budded; apples
and similar tree seed are grated. To
protect cherries from birds, the best
plan that | ever found is to plant a
few mulberry trees within 100 feet OF
the early cherry trees; the birds pre-
fer mulberries to cherries, strawber.

withered while the young staff officer OF

dashing young officer of 1863 who made
the dash on our lines, but the one short
leg tells the story.
Among the picturesque onlookers at
St Louis was DR.. Mary Walker, who for
40 years has been regarded as joke by
the American people. / remember the
doctor we'll, as she appeared in the army
In 1863 Secretary Stanton gave her the
appointment of assistant surgeon of
volunteers and ordered her to report to
Gen. Thomas at Chattanooga Thomas
suspected that Stanton sent her west to
get rid of her, and he ordered her to re-
port to Stanton's friend, Col. Dan Nc
Cook, and Col. Dan ordered her to re-
port to Maj. ]. T. Holmes, commanding
his old regiment, the Fifty-second Ohio,
and so it happened that DR.. Mary came
TO us while we were at Gordon's Mills.
She found little to do in camp, but there
were many families needing physician
living near camp, and to these DR.. Mary
extended her ministrations, shrewdly
managing at the same time to gather q
great deal of inform alton as to the move
ments and places Of the confederates.
I'm this way DR.. Mary, being enthu-
/ siastic and venturesome, made herself
very useful. But she was everlastingly
getting lost and riding in an irrespcn,
sible way into the confederate lines
Finally the confederates arrested heI
and sent her to Atlanta as prisoner q
war. She claimed to be an immune
and so hectored the authorities at At
lanta that they sent her to Richmond
There it was reported she made it Sc
unpleasant for Davis and his cabine
that they recommended her exchange

Phosphate of Lime for Cows.

A farmer of Georgia who is known
AS a successful stock raiser has made
1t practice to feed phosphate of lime
to his dairy cows. He begins with
the dam and before the birth of the
calf He says that the frame needs
to be built up and that the green
grass of the Georgia pastures does
not give enough phosphate and lime
for the work of bcne-making. This
deficiency exists only on soils that
are deficient in lime and phosphorus.
The idea Is a new one and as yet
most of our scientists are not ex-
pressing their opinions ON it, II may
prove to be of value and may not

REMEDIES FOR CUT WORMS
To Trap These Destructive Garden and
Orchard Pests Requires Work
and Strategy.

Cutworms are the larvae of moths
belonging to the family noctuidae.
These moths are night flyers; their
eyes shine in the lamp light and hence
they are sometimes called "owlet
moths" The eggs are laid by the fe-
male moth for the most part on leaves
or the soft parts of plants. Land re-
Gently in sod is likely to be infested.
and the crop following sod is pretty
sure to suffer if attractive to these
pests. Some cutworms climb fruit
trees and eat the buds.
Late fall plowing by turning up the
pupae of cutworms, where a varying
temperature has chance to work on
them, so that crows, blackbirds and
other birds have an opportunity to eat
them, is an exceaent thing.
Many growers of melons, squashes
and cucumbers protect their young
| plants by cylinders of tin (tomato cans
with ends melted out are good) or
cardboard or even brown paper, a cylin-
| der surrounding each plant and planted
a few inches 1.-TWO or three) in the soil.
Poisoning bundles of clover with a
solution of Paris green and strewing
the same amongst the plants to be
protected is one good method Both
of these the entomologist has tried
with some success. Paris green, 1t
must be remembered, is a slow acting
poison comparatively, and one must
not expect worms which have eaten it
to die at once. Planting an excessive
number of seed or plants is sometimes
resorted to. The writer has found the
guilty worm frequently concealed an
inch or two in the soil in the morning,
not far from the plant injured during
the night. He has also trapped them
successfully by placing cabbage leaves
or any large leaf or board, among
plants needing protection, finding the
worms under there in the morning

ARMoR DID NOT SAVE HIM
It Was Worn by New York Soldier
Who Didn't Want to Be
Dead Hero.

Proof that at least one Federal SOL
der at the battle of Seven Pines did not
want to die exists in plate armor which
was placed on exhibition at the state
library at Richmond the other day by
Librarian Kennedy. The armor is in
the form of plate made in the shape
of two front flaps of waistcoat or vest,
and they were fitted inside the vest
from the shoulder seam and the side
seam to the buttoning line and bottom
edge of the garment. The plates on
exhibition are of thin steel, and they
are shown with the bullet-torn vest in
which they were found. On the left
plate, which covered the heart, is the
following manufacturers label:
III. H. and c. w. Elliott, No 4 Pine
street, New York. Made to resist q
pistol ball at Is yards rifle ball al
200 yards with regular u S. charges"
The armor was taken from the dead
body of federal soldier on the battle
field of Seven Pines. and was discov-
cred several days ago with other wal
relics in the garret of the library.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Five feet apart each way is a good
distance to set currant bushes.
On many soils both fruits and vege-
tables are benefited by an application of
wood ashes.
One of the commonest mistakes of
the fruit grower is to neglect to culti-
vate his orchard.
For almost any kind of small fruit
the land should be deeply plowed, thir-
oughly cultivated and well fertilized.
1t is cheaper to grow good shade trees
from seed in n nursery, under the prop
er conditions, than to hunt and pull them
in the woods.
The root systems of forest seedlings
grow long and spreading, so it is al
most impossible to pull them without
injuring the roots very badly.
The United States is now spending
about 100000 annually in the inves-
tigation of forests, and in carrying out
various schemes for forest preserva-
ton.
Why should we expect the orchard
to continue to bear crops year after
year without being fed and cultivated
We do not expect it of other farm
crops.
Seedlings grown in the shady and
sheltered woods have their organs for
Transportation, assimilation, ETC., de-
veloped for that condition, and when
