AGAINST RAILROAD AGITATION.

This continued agitation against the
railroads is something like killing the
goose that laid the golden egg. When
the railroads are making money they
invest large portions of their surplus
in improvements, which means work
work for those making the improve
ments for them, and work for others
making the material out of which those
improvents are constructed. Besides
that, every improvement a railroad
makes means more taxable value for
the place where it is located Let the
railroads alone, or at least do not wage
war on them Yiciously, simply because
they are making money. Perhaps
thereby, You might deprive yourself of
a chance to make some. A little goug-
ing in rates done by the railroads of
the country, is great deal better than
for them to shat off the improvements
which place money in circulation and
means business for others

OLD ORCHARDS.

Start Strong Growth.

Altogether the most profitable OF
chards are those set in recent time

which there are no blanks. On man,
farms, however, there are smaller 0:
larger tracts of old orchard, many o.
which are worthless and many more o.
which are not distinctly profitable.
Process Of Rsjuvenation.
Some of these old orchards could be
rejuvenated. They could be brought
into reasonably good bearing and to
point where they would really pay a
profit. Now, the regeneration Of an
old orchard Is fairly simple matter,
providing 1t Is properly understood.
The important point Is that 1t does not
consist In the application of any single
patent remedy. Spraying will not do
the work. Pruning will not cure all
the troubles. Tillage alone will be
worth very little. The only way to get
the desired result Is to apply proper
methods all along the line. The soil
should be loosened up and proper drain
age provided. The trunks should be
scraped clean and spread with copper
sulphate or bordeaux mixture. Old
dead limbs should be cut out. A rea-
sonable but not excessive pruning
should be given. Thorough spraying
should be undertaken.
Improbable Varieties.
In case the trees are of mixed or I'M
profitable varieties they should be re.
grated to standard sorts. 1t Is not
likely that additional plant food will
be required at first, except on soils
very much depleted. An orchard taken
vigorously In hand in the matter Of
tillage, pruning and spraying Is apt to
start into strong growth ut once, and
II good deal Of raw fertilizer Is ap-
piled there may easily be more growth
than is desirable. However, one must
keep his eyes open, and in case the
trees show the want Of more food It
should be given. 1t Is really com.
paratfvely easy matter II all these
things are systematically attended to
to bring IN old orchard round, accord
ing to Country Gentleman. 1t requires
from two to five years to do It, depend
ing on the condition of things when
the matter Is taken in hand.
