How to Plant an Orchard lo he a
Failure.
As many persons seem to try to see
how little fruit they can make their
apples trees bear, and also seem to take
pride in growing worthless varieties, ]
will give such men a lew hints to a’d
them in their endeavors to render their
orchards of no value :
First, crop the land where the trees
are to be set till there is no ferilily left
in it. A good test of that state is to
plant a few hills of white beans on it ;
and if it fails to grow any pods of these
beans, the land is in the right condition.
Next sec that the fences are down around
the field, so that your own and neigh
bors’ cattle can come in when the trees
are planted, and browse on them, which
will save you the, expense of trimming
them once a year.
in buying your trees ask your nursery
man if he lias a "‘cheap lot" and say
you arc setting trees for the use of others
when you are dead, and that you are not
going to pay out much money for them;
and lie will call your attention, probably,
to a worthless lot of tiees, not labeled,
and such as will suit you exactly, being
varieties that have been condemned by
horticultural societies as worthless. He
will say : “ Yes, here is a splendid lot of
fine, straight trees —labels are lost—got
mixed—excellent sorts—will sell them at
your own price.” .Such trees you can
get “ for a song mid while you are
alive, as you are well advanced in years,
it will be just the name as if they were
the best varieties in existence, so
you should order your nurseryman to dig
them up, and you will come lor them.
J >on’l tell him to have them dug up care
fully, and with as many roots as possible,
because you want the load as small as
possible, and short, shabby roots are
easily set.
When you got the trees loaded upon
your wagon, don't throw anything over
the roots to keep them from the rays of
sun, and the drying wind ; and when you
get home, select a sunny place to throw
down the trees, and be sure not to set
them till next day. If any one advises
you to ‘'heel in” the tree till planted,
tell them you have heard of such boh
before from the “ bosk farmers.”
In selling the trees, let your hired
man do it, while you take the world easy
at the village tavern. Tell him to dig the
holes ns small as possible, and not let the
roots in ; that if they can’t go in spread
out as they grew naturally, to curl them
up in a circle, to put the yellow, lower
earth around the roots, and the dark,
tortile soil where it does not come in
contact with them in the least. You
should also tell him not to be particular
nlsmt tilling in earth in the cavities
between the roots, also not to press the
earth upon them, and lie sure not to
water the trees, tin tas a rain sets in.
Lastly, say to him : “ John, I want you
to hurry up this work. The e are only
one hundred trees to set, ami 1 will give
you till six o’clock to-night to set them.”
Another point: You have undoubtedly
read or heard that it is a good plan to
manure and cultivate the land whore
your trees are set, but don’t do it, localise
this advice is found in the papers ; and
you don’t want to follow any such unre
liable rules for the management of an
orchard. If yotjr father or grandfather
slid a thing, you should follow their
examples. Above all, don't subscribe
mr an agricultural or a horticultural
l>aper as they cost from one to two
<lolars a year, and for that sum you
and your whole family could roe a circus
performance which you would remember
b” lifetime /-’trr.nrV Friend.

A writing on the subject
oi celery fur winter use said that aft. r
the plants well rooted he draws the
earth up around them a little, to give
au upright growth. When the night*
become cool and the tall rains set in he
ties each bunch up with hark of other
material, ready to be stored away for
I'leaching, lhis should be done just bo
fore the cold weather begins, and in the
following manner . Itig a trench about
two feel wide and as deep as the celery
is high, lake up the plant* carefully
and pack them in the trench without
breaking the stalks: cover the trench
with five or sis inches of dry straw and
add twelve or more iuches of earth. The
celery can lie taken irotn the trenches as
needed during the winter, fir it will be
bleached in a fen weeks.
Another correspondent wrote that he
make* his trench mi deep that, with all
the earth thrown out, the extreme tops
of the plants only ap ear above the sur
face. Digging the piauts up one by one,
he places them with what earth adhere*
to them as thick . - they cs-i stand, at:d
fiil* about each plant with earth nearly
to their lops, being careful that none of
the sotl enter- and covers the crown if
the riant within. Next to the plan Is on
either hide a barricade i> made, to keen
the water from entering and treeing in
cold weather, of l>ru- i c o'ene-l with any
litur that wid keep wst- r out. When
pekrv is wanted. r :t j the trench
and take out enough to !a>t several days,
and cover again securely.
A member added in conclusion that
some farmers find autumn leaves covered
over the entire bed about two feet deep,
with corn stalks laid over them to keep
them secure, a sufficient protection.
Others, again, use sawdust for late crops
to be kept during the winter, banking up
in the usual manner and adding the
sawdust. A general saying in some lo
calities is, that the blacker the earth in
which celery is grown the whiter it will
bleach.

in an interesting paper on jute culture
| in the report from the department of
agriculture for 1870, it is stated that the
j quantity of cereals and vegetables re
| quiring to be sacked before they can be
| sent to market in the United States is
I largely more than 1 ~100,000,000 bushels.
| If it were necessary to renew these hags
every year, it would cost for grain pulse,
grass seeds and potato sacks over one
hundred million dollars. Add to this
the gunny cloth or other strong material
necessary to hold four million hales of
cotton, or more, with no return of bag
ging, and we getan inkling of the annual
consumption of fillers to wrap and bold a
part ot our agricultural production.
Considering the facility with which
hemp flax and jute may be raised as well
as cotton, it seems surprising that we
should pay thirty million dollars a year
for imported fillers.
We consume over 100,000,00 b pounds
of jute a year; and it is believed that
we ean raise thiH article much cheaper
than it costs when imported. In 1876
the mills of St. Ixiuis alone manufactured
2,000,000 yards of jute bagging. In one
sense, this is a newspaper enterprise; for
during the last five years one hundred
and seventy million pounds of imported
jute were made into paper in the United
States. The department of agriculture
truely says: “It is a costly improvi
dence to pay to other nations for staples
which we can raise and manufacture ns
cheaply as they can.” It is time to
drain our rich swamp lands, levee rivers
and creeks, and draw millions of gold
and health from a bottom that .now
yield nothing better than malaria,
pestilence and poverty.
Virginia Tobneco.
The Baltimore Bulletin, relerring to
tiio Hlate’a interview with the tobacco
men of Richmond, very windy says : “ If
wo substitute for the misnomer ‘ over
production’ th© true phrase, pitching
larger crops than they have force to till,
wo will come at the real source of th©
decline in reputation of Virginia tobacco.
The following of that sort of husbandry
is that it destroys all the profits. A
Connecticut river farmer puts his last
year’s onion patch into tobacco—a lot of
two or three acres at the outside—and
makes more of it than the south-side
planter makes from a hundred acres.”

Telegrams to the,St. Petersburg papers
stale that the cattle disease, which du
ring the present summer has wrought
dire havoc among the herds on the south
ern steppes, has now reached the Polish
provinces, and is rapidly approaching the
frontier. The losses sustained by the
Russian peasantry since the plague
crossed the Ural mountains two years
ago are immense. News is telegraphed
from Tillis that the authorities fear that
the unparalleled prevalence of the plague
has caused the ent ire bovine race of Cau
casia to become extinct.
.Sclocliiiii Corn.
It is not too late yet to go through the
field and select the best matured ears for
seed. The ears best filled out should
always lie taken for seed, it is just as
important to have well rounded up ears
for seed as it is to have well formed stock
to breed front. ’Jhe ears thus selected
should bo put in a dry place till thor
oughly dried out, and then they may he
stored away in bulk. A little of this
work in season, sometimes, may fre
quently save s groat deal of vexation,
delay and loss when the crop season re
turns. Corn is generally sound and well
matured this season, and it will not l>e
hard to make good select ions of oars for
seed.

A certain way to keep ants from

few days.
li> Or re the Orotic —The following
i- said to be an excellent remedy for the
croup : Take one tvaspoonful of pulver
iad alum, one of sulphur and the whites
of two eggs; mix ail well together and
put it in a small piece of muslin and
hold it up and let the water drip from it;
and then give to a child, say sixteen
years old, one teaspoou ul in a little mint
tee. i r any pleasant tea ; and smaller
children less, say half a teaspoonful for
five years old, and less for younger, all
in tea.
Molasses Fruit Cake.—One pound !
of sugar and three-quarters of a pound
of butter, beaten to a cream. Slightly
warm two cups of molasses and mix well
with the butter and sugar; next the
well-beaten yelks of six eggs and half a
cup of sour cream ; one teaspoonful of
cinnamon and one of cloves; one tea
spoonful of ginger if desired ; two pounds
of sifted flour, with the well-beaten
whites of six eggs; one heaping tea
spoonful of soda, dissolved in hot water,
and at the last one pound of raisins,
seeded and chopped ; one pound of cur
rants, well washed and dried. Flour the
fruit well before mixing. Bake in two
bread pans in a slow oven.
Yeast Cakes from One Cake —Dis
solve the cake in two cupfuls of water ;
when dissolved, stir in flour enough for
thick hatter, and set in warm place to
rise; when risen well, which will be in
from three to nine hours, mix it stiff
enough to roll out with white Indian
meal; roll thin, cut into souare cakes,
and dry on your bread-board.
Roly-Poly Pudding.—Take a quart
of flour, rub into it three tablespoonfuls
of lard ; roll it out, cut into four pieces;
place a lump of butter on each ; flour
well; place one above another, then roll
out again about six inches wide and
twelve long; take some preserve, (plum
is best,) spread it on pretty thick, wet the
edge of the paste to make it stick closely,
then roll it over and over; tia it up se
curely in a well-floured cloth, boil two
hours, and serve with nice melted butter.
To Make and Keep Soup Stock.—
Take a leg or shin of beef, put it to boil
in a gallon of water —or if very large in
gallon and a half; boil it steadily, but
not fast, until all the strength is boiled
from the meat; then strain it and put it
to cool, when the fat must be skimmed
off and the jelly can be taken out in small
portions when soup is needed, and the
vegetables added, or whatever is liked for
variety ; but if the vegetables are boiled
with the stock it is apt to become sour by
keeping. Should the stock be wanted
brown it is well to fry some of the meat
before boiling.
A Ciuwd Story on Joaquin Miller.
Now comes the news that the erratic
poet of the Sierras is nearing Washington.
In anticipation of his coming I heard two
ladies discussing him. “ He is the softest,
silliest dunce with women—too foolish
to respect. I had such an admiration of
his splendid pootiy, and when I was in
troduced to Joaquin Miller he said in the
most affected way, ‘ The dear, little white
hand; hww beautiful!’ and in a few
moments told me to put my hand in
my muff out of his sight or he should go
mad.”
At a dinner party, or lunch, to which
ho was invited by a literary lady of
Washington, the lady of the house told
him site had made and baked the bread
herself. “ Very good bread, ma’am, but
1 am used to better ; I can make better
myself. 1 was brought up to it. T like
it with a good, thick crust on the bottom.
This hasn’t it: it isn’t baked on the bot
tom.” The lady, much confused, inti
mated that it was pretty good bread
fora blue-stocking to make, she thought,
and site had prided herself on it.
‘‘Oh, it’s very good bread, Rbove the
average, but 1 could make better.”
A young lmly present, tingling with
mortification at his rudeness, asked him
innocently, a few moments after, “ Mr.
Miller, have any of your poems been
published ?” This question, at the time
when the whole world was filled with
talk of Miller’s “ Songs of the Sierras,”
staggered the eccentric genius. He
assured iter they had appeared in bonk
form, and showed his chagrin at such a
question, asked by the prettiest girl in
the room. He did not know site escaped
giggling, with some of her friends, to the
other room as sown as lunch was served.
“ I was bound 1 would take him down,”
said the jeweled maiden, laughing tilt the
tears filled her eyes, at the thought of
Miller's confusion. ” The conceited ape,
he shall never know that I can repeat
half his lovely verses from memory. He
is a jHiet, but a fool.”
Such is tne conversation that I over
heard. Can it be possible that this pert
beauty's story of Joaquim is correct?
That the dashing horseman that i saw
this summer riding like mad through
Saratoga streets, or laying his bright
tresses in the perfumed air around
Frank Leslie’s “Interlaken” on the
banks of Saratoga Lake, is in private
conversation a very boor? That his per
sonnel repels, as his genius attract* ?
Poor Joaquin —fierv-souled, not bound
by bands of etiquette, like other mortals.
1 understand that he folded his cloak
about him and said he didn’t want to see
those people, and stalked moodily from
the house, where a crowd had been in
vited to meet him.
At another time he entered a lady’s
parlor, and kicked his shoes off in the
i corner, and sat in his stocking feet.
“Oh, Mr. Miller, 1 want to introduce
a vouug lady to you.” “You had better
introduce me to the young lady if you
know anything about politeness,” he
blurted.
These are the mere eccentricities of
genius; the finer feelings of a tuneful
soul, which Minnie Myrtle and those
four babies jarred too roughly iu their
western home. Now loosed from all do
mestic bonds, lie soars aloft, and. singing
as he goes, delights the multitude who,
when he conies to earth, are dared to find
him the commonest barn-yard fowl.—

ytr. IJncolu** Offer of the Command of
the I’nited Maten Army to Ueo.
I^ee.
As confirmatory of the incident gven
by Hon. Allan B. Magruder in the
Weekly Times of to-day, allow me to say 1
that the letter which he gives from Gen.
I, Pe to Hon. Reverdy Johnson was found
by me not long after Gen. Lee’s death in
his private letter book, copied in his own
well-known hand-writing. By the kind
ness of the family I was allowed to copy
the letter and publish it, in 1874, in my
“Personal Reminiscences, Anecdotes and
letters of Gen. R. E. Lee” (pp. 141-
142), where I also gave the testimony of
Mr. Montgomery Blair and other proofs
that the supreme command of the United
States army was offered Col. Lee before
he left Washington.
1 once heard .Mrs. Lee speak freely of
this event in the life of her husband,and
a gentleman of high standing in Mew
York, has told me that in an interview
which he had with Gen. Scott in April,
1861, he spoke in the very highest terms
of Lee’s ability as a soldier and charac
ter as a man; told him the supreme
command of the United States army was
offered him, and said that he (Scott)
would have cheerfully given place to
‘‘the ablest soldier in America” if he
could have induced him to accept.
The proofs are conclusive that when
Robert E. Lee cast his lot with his
mother state, he turned his back on the
highest position that an American soldier
could covet, and deliberately .those the
path of sacrifice, peril and loss of this
world’s goods, lie cause, in his judgment,
it was the path of duty and of honor.
In June, 1868, he said to his trusted
lieutenant, the gallant and accomplished
Gen. Wade Hampton: “ I did only
what my duty demanded; I could have
taken no other course without dishonor.
And if all were to be done over again, 1
should act in precisely the same man
ner.”
Men will differ as to the course which
Gen. Lee thought proper to pursue in
siding with Virginia and the south in the
great struggle, but no fairminded man
- an examine the proofs and doubt for a
moment that lie acted from the purest
motives—from the highest sense of duty
and honor. J. Wm Jones,
