By B. A. K.
A Family Obchakd.—lu stating wa.it
I conceive to bo the requLu pi 3 good
family orchard I am ;aided by actual
experience with a family if eight . r
nine cersons and a 'goodly slim: a oi
friendly visitors. Of coarse wo are all
habitual fruit ei
as conviction, and as appb.; are more
reliable than lost othe
to calculate
throughout
August to May.
We find that we need three classes of
apples to be in condition tor r.vo during
the whole season. First, not leer thr u
two first-class dessert or eating varieties
alway in mellow or ripe condition, for
table use and for visitors to send by
children to school, and to gi.e to.less
fortunate neighbors. This will require
about a dozen varieties for the sen ten.
Second, one or two rich, sub acid vti
rieties, of good .
rious ways, and for drying. This
will take eight or tei is Thir 1
sweet apples of the best ; .U: - : • bn
Of these wo use more than tin. hre
varieties, as we baked sweet
quite a . ..
constant succo;-;do:: . roqun - * . A- or c'grt
kinds.
Thus it will be St
family orch ird
thirty vari sties
of trees should *-.;■>■ be less d.r,- forty
or fifty, allowing -or two or three trees
each of the leading nr.ikoi v-u.s
and to provide against. 1 in seasoiis of
of partial failure which quite frequent

has used a carbolic v/asli for
scale, aphis and other small ins*, cts on
fruit trees, for
success. Ho describes it thu. in the
Country Gentlcutan: 'hly - ‘C :
first was to empty a ilv<; pound c. a
of the soap into a barrel, and
into it two or tl
water, lettil
or more to
for use, fill uj the bar
water —making
wash—enough for about ii,coo cos,
according to their size. Of late years
instead of sending for the patent soap,
I have taken a 'gallon of common, soft
soap, and thinned it tvitii a p .ilful of
hot waterjj then stirred i?> Half ayioumt
of carbolic acid, and after it kn * :omt a
day or longer for chemical union t > ta’ o
place, add cold, soft water to moke :

course any one eon reduce t ic an
for a smaller ‘quantity, and have the
proportions about the sann
Sinco the first season he 1
made one (application* each so.mon and
that about the first of July, but in thick
ly settled districts he advises two ap
plications each season. No harm has
been experienced from its use on the
most delicate peach trees, while it is al
so effective on the moro hardy apple.
Pruning Gkafe Vines.—Mr. J. Whit
tlesey, before the Michigan Pomogical
Society, defended the long arm system
of pruning, because it fully equalized
the flow of sap in cane and fruit. In
1803 he planted 120 Concord vines six
feet apart in the row. They had good
care and attention, but boro little fruit.
Tho spring of the seventh year from
planting, he removed every other vino,
and extended the arms to six feet in
stead of three. The result was a Urn:
crop of fruit. To further test this
matter, in a Catawba vineyard \s 1,000
vinos, and eight feet a ft it
every other vine tvas loved, and the
arms of tho others extended to eight
feet instead of four. This largely in
creased the quantity of gr .pcs He
stated that he had Cos cord vin c;*
ing 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45, feet of trellis
that carry every year more grapes, by
actual test in baskets, than any adjoin
ing vines planted 12 feet apart, and
covering tho same number of foot of
trellis.—Southern Pantation.
A OUEE EOS CONSUMPTION.
A correspondent of Southern Planta
tion wrifces as follows about the power of
a well known plant* “I have discovered
a remedy for pulmonary consumption.
It has cured a number of cases after they
commenced bleeding at th- lung, a :.;
the hectic flush was already on • cheek
After trying this remedy to my own sa‘
isfaction, I have thoughtphil Lu >py re
quired that I should let it be known to
the world. It is the common nmllen
steped strong and sweetened with cof
fee sugar, and drank frefiy. The herb
should be gathered before '.be end of
July, if convenient. Young or oi J plan ta
aro good dried in the shade and kept
in clean paper bags. Tho medicine
must be continued from three to six
months according to . tho nature of the
disease. It is very good for the ves
sels also. It strengthens the system,
and builds up instead of taking away
strength. It makes good blood, and
takes inflammation away from the lungs
It is the wish of the writer that every
periodical in the United Staten, Canada
and Europe should publish tbi3 recen t
for the benefit of the human family.
Lay this up, and keep t la tho house
ready for use.
“This is very bracing weather,
said a bland landlord to an unhappy
boarder. “Glad to hear it,” was tho
reply. “Hope it will brace up your
breakfast coffee, which has boon very pale
and weak of late."
The proposition that the functions cf
the President pro tem of the Senate
have scope beyond the opening of the
returns of which ho is custodian and
handing them to the official tellers must
be regarded as abandoned.
The Louisiana Returning Board are
to bo arrested and brought, in con
tempt to the bar of the House.
