It is a inntff’r oi surprise to ine that
our farmers are not more desirous of
possessing fruit on their farms. In nine
cases out often the trouble seems to
be the main drawback. To be sure, it
is some trouble, but is not the trouble
more than repaid by the pleasures
which the fruit affords you? So many
of our Guest trees can now be obtained
at such small cost that all should plant
some every year.
I am certain that there is not an
acre of ground on the farm which pays
me a higher percentage in actual cash
than mv orchard, and yet I did all the
work at odd times. If you only go at
it, you will find it is not much trou
ble to set out a parcel of fruit trees.
Until an orchard begins to bear, it
may not produce other crops in as
large quantities as if it were not occu
pied as an orchard. I consider common
corn-beans as the beet crop which I
can raise in an orchard, but corn or
w heat may also be raised. It is better
to cultivate an orchard every three or
four years than to allow it to grow up
with a heavy grass sward. A very
good rotation for an orchard, even if
the trees have commenced bearing, is
potatoes, with manure, and wheat with
clover seed at the rate of eight or ten
quarts per acre; after the wheat is off,
the pigs may be turned in,and it may
be used as a hog pasture until the
clover begins to run out, and the
natural grasses to take its place,
when it should be again plowed and
cropped.
Never try to raise more than one
crop on the same ground at the satne
time. As soon as the trees commence
bearing, no crop should he raised un
der the branches; the whole orchard
should he loosened up occasionally,
but the trees should have as much as
possible of the strength of the soil.
If the pigs are turned into the or
chard thev will gather up the wormy
apples which fall, and thus prevent a
second crop of worms, and increase the

Any clever housewife, who can make

to the size and richness of the ear, so
would be its power as a talisman.—
She went out upon her quest, says the
legend, and entered upon the field.
Many a tall stalk of surpassing excel
lence met her glance, hut she still
walked onward, expecting always to
find one more excellent still. At last
she reached a portion of the field
where the crops were thinner and the
ears were stunted. She regretted the
tall and graceful stalks she had left be'
hind, but disdained to nick those which
fell so far bolow what her ideas were
of a perfect ear. But, alas ! the stems
grew more rngged and more scanty as
she trod onward ; on the margin of
the field they were mildewed, and
when she had accomplished her walk
through the waving grain, she emerg
ed on the other side without having
gathered any ear whatever. The
genius rebuked her for her folly, but
we are not told that he gave her an
opportunity of retrieving her error.
