Mr. Wcllbolovod, for I had ntumbled
in my Cannda ramble on a person of
that name, thrift spoke of a log-houso
and lot which had attracted my onriosity.
On ono of Die best stretches of arable
loud, lying well up tho gnntlo swell of
the vallny, with a good exposure, backed
by fine woodland, was - a singular sight
in that raw, yet thriving settlement- a
" oonoOMien,” which seemed to have
been swept liy somo spirit of ruin and
decay. Tho log-houso stood, but its
roof was rotting; its alight porch had
been shattered or displaced by snow ;
its windows remained unbroken, but one
could seo from tho dragging papnr
blinds which had ouco made them gay
with color, that there was no housewife
within to mend or change things; nud
all over the eight or ten noros of land
which had boon cleared about the house,
llioro grow as high na the uiiremnvcd
stumps a wealth of weed, suoh as is
only the crop of absolute desertion and
death. Ity this place, on one aide, my
friend Wellboloved, at whose homo I
had drawn up for a midday meal, tilled
a thriving fai m ; the evidence was visi
ble in tho roll of ripening wheat dotted
with tho disks of the blackened stumps,
and in the entile that loitered from the
sun's bent under (lie oirolo of young
maples lie hud loft in a corner of one of
Ilia fields, where a spring welled up
from among some boulders, nud by the
grunt of well-fed pigs which wandered
down tho road and cooled their lioatod
sides in tho marshy bottom, where I
found tho rend like a lloating stage of
logs. Moreover, there wan Mrs. Well

ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES.
rnoTKerio.v aoainht nnoronT.
Wo havo long been convinocd that in
gardening (nnd ultimately in farming
also) wo may oarry our crops safely
through tho moat prolonged droughts,
without artifloinl irrigation, nnd each
succeoding soanon strengthens the con
viction. Tlmro is always moisture
cnongh in tho sub-soil, and nntnre has
provided means to pnmp it np. Tlm
oonditions required are depth nnd por-
onsnoss of soil. A gentleman who had
farmed in California, in ono of tho hot
test valleys, where excessive droughts
nrovnilod, returning to Now England,
had a strong curiosity to seo what effect
Cilifornin climate nnd cultivation would
have on Now England soil. In 18711, his
desire was gratified, nml 1m reports,
in tlm New Euglnnd Farmer, that from
Dm middle of Mny to the middle of
July, 187.'), eastern Massachusetts had
a good specimen of California weather.
Tlm average yield of early potntoes wns
vory light, nnd lie grew, with the ns
sistance of that dry apoll, tlm best crop
of Early iloso potatoes that bad ever
been grown on Dm farm. "To be roadj
to meet n spell of California weather,
nnd givo it the lmnrty welcome due nn
old friend,” he Hays, "I plant potntoes
in rows four feet four inches apart, or
four rows to tho rod ; potatoes ono foot
apart in tlm row ; this gives three foet
nml four iuelios of groand for the potn
toes to feed on, nml one foot for them
to drink from. Tlm drinking ground wns
kept moist through tho drought, by
cultivating it regularly onco a week.
Tlm land is a sandy loam ; a well would
need to bo fifteen or twenty feet deep
to givo lasting water. When I planted
the potntoes, knowing there was an
abundant supplj' of water within twenty
feet of tlm surface, I thought I could
draw from that supply, by tlio laws of
capillary attiaction, water onouuh to
grow a good crop of potatoes without
any ruin. I eonld not seo why tlm laws
of attraction should not opernto in
Massachusetts as well as in California,
if they hud an opportunity. Tlm result
proved that they will. Whan Dm rain
narao on tlm 17th of July, the point,
wero neither dry nor lit:
covered tlm ground nnd were as green
and healthy looking all through Dm
drought ns nny I ever saw.”
greater attention is paid to nnt growing
in California than anywhere else in
America, nnd we hear frequent mention
of successful experiments in culture of
nut trees there than nny other part of
America. In Nevada, Cal.,the proprietor
of some pnblio gnrdens obtained from
Franco Borne of the finest specimens of
ohectnnts, and plnntod them on his
placo in 1870. Although it has been
bnt four yearn sinco tho trees were
plnntod, yet they have alrea-ly borne
fruit; tho trees are described the poAt
year as being heavily loaded with frnit,
nnd tho Tints wero tho largest sized ever
seen. Tho bnrs contained from tbreo to
seven large Bizod nuts, some of them ex
ceeding iu sizo a largo plntn. Tlm
climnto is admirably adapted toil; nnd
of tho almond, thousands of trees have
nlrealy beon planted.—Rural Caroli

It has been said, with apparently
preat show of trutlifulncns, that nothing
is so tr.ily profitable or ho grateful ns
the Boil; yet fow trades or occupations
nre so unremuncrative as its cultivation.
That this statement in in part true there
cau bo but little question. That there
is a reason for it, must be oqually as ob
vious. It is ri acknowledged fact that
we are dependent upon Dm soil for
treat, drink nud clothing; and their
preparation, transportation and dintri-
uution furnish employment to tho great
bulk of the uou-agricnltural classes.
I. Miking at tlm proposition in this light,
how is it that the occnpntioii of Dm
fdrmerseemr to be generally regarded
ns nn unprofitable one? There must be
bad management Bornewhere, and it may
bo briefly expressed in Dio words : tlm
expenses exceed tho income. This may
bo caused in tho first plnoo by attempt
ing the raising of crops not udnptcd to
tlm Hoil nud looility, nnd by noting np-
on the supposition that bee mao ono
man has been exceptionally si.eoessfnl
in the production of n crop, all others
under other circumstances will nlao
succeed.
