PLANTING AN ORCHARD.
The Farmers’ Home Journal says an
orchard is expected to last through a
lifetime, and therefore the most care
ful attention should be settled upon it
at the starting. One of the most im
portant things to be considered in the
location is the situation. Low situa
tions, where cold air collects, causing
frost and mildew, should be avoided
by all means. An orchard should al
ways occupy grounds higher than the
lands of the surrounding country, if
possible.
In making choice of the different
fruit trees wanted in the orchard, the
number of varieties of each should be
as small as possible. A few good kinds
are better than many kinds less cer
tain. It is an easy matter to make
choice of a few known kinds, and it is
always safer to do this than to risk
investing in kinds unknown to yon,
simply because some, nurseryman’s
catalogue recommends them highly.
It won’t do to buy everything offered
for sale simply because the. vendor
lavishes high words of praise upon it.
We would, therefore, suggest that this
point be ciircfully considered, and not
by writing to some, nurseryman away
off yonder, but simply going among
your neighbors and seeing for yourself
what kinds are freest, from disease and
rot ; what, grows the best., ripens the
best and hangs the. longest, no matter
if it is an old kind, or if it .has never
been heard of beyond its native place.
'rhe trees for setting should be young ,
and vigorous; they should have plenty ;
of small fibrous roots, and if yon are.
offered a. tree with nothing but thick
Stubbs, don’t take it--the chances arc
that it will take a year or two of good
nursing to give jt a start.
The ground in which the tree is I
planted should be thoroughly pulver
ized and well worked in among the
roots until it is in close contact with
every one, after which a few inches
of earth should be placed around and
the whole pounded or tramped until
it is about as compact as the natural
soil would be. Some people pound
the dirt around the roots uni il if is as
hard as a road. This is wrong. The
closest possible imitation of nature is
what we are after.
The year after transplanting is the;
most important of all others in the
life of a tree. If a good, healthy,
Vigorous growth is secured that year j
there is greater certainty of its being
kept up thereafter.
Now all this requires time, and I
should be attended to when other
matters are not pressing. This is one
reason why we advocate fall planting :
another reason is that the roots grow
mid heal over in the winter,and when
spring comes they are ready to grow,
and do grow, before the hot, dry
weather sets in. tpul the success of
the orchard is secured.
Honey is,according Io Mr. Miltons.
Who publishes a treatise on 1 in
England, a universal specific, and
among its other valuable properties,
he declares that it prevents consump
tion, and states that that destroyer of
human life is not known in countries
where honey is regularly taken as an
article of food. Those who have less
faith in the specific, may perhaps
attribute the cause to difference of
climate rather than to honey. The 1
Italian singers, it is also atlirnu d. are ,
greatly indebted to honey; but their
practice is to sharpen it with a few
drops of acid, though they sometimes
take it iii a pure state.

Lockjaw is one of the most terrible
diseases to which mortals arc exposed.
A California exchange asserts that no
one need be in danger of such attack ‘
from wounds caused by rusty iron. 1
The worst case of inflamed wounds
may be cured by smoking the injured
part with burning wool or woolen
cloth. Anything that produces safety i
from such a fatal disease is worth
recording.
For a good whitewash, slake say ■
one peck of lime, and while hot and
of the thickness of cream, add a quart
of linseed oil and a quarter pound of:
glue. Let it stand a day before using.
Kains will not wash it oif. nor will it
prove such a nuisance on interior
walls as the common whitewash. It
should, of course, be thinned with
water while using, as ordinarily.

Cookttl vegetables are good tor
voimg stock. Cook, mash and mix
with scalded corn it is a healthful
and economical way of feeding.
Chickens should be kept lice from
vermin. A great many of the ail
ments of fowls are caused by lice.
• ♦ •*
Hemember that fowls must have
gravel or coarse sand it is just as
necessary as food.
< hareoal is good for fowls.'and ven
tilation is necessary tor their health.
