Preparing the Soil for Apple Trees.
Few soils in their natural state are in
a suitable condition for the reception
of apple trees. New land is certainly
far preferable to that which is old and
partially or wholly worn out, but nei
ther are in a proper condition for an
orchard, and some thorough system of
preparation should be applied to them
before being used for fruit trees. The
method of preparing soils should
Ile varied - according to their nature;
If naturally deep and rich,then a good,
deep plowing is all that will be Aso-.
gately necessary. But those persons
'who are about planting a young
orchard should not forget that
years of time may be gained by be
stowing a little extra care at the start,
and that trees in a thoroughly prepar
ed soil will be as far advanced in five
years as those which receive but ordi
nary care will in ten.
All soils, whether new or old, rich
or poor, light or heavy, should be
worked deep, for herein lies the fun
damental principle of all good and
successful gardening ; and good farm
ing and orcharding is but gardening
extended. It is not always necessary
or advisable to invert to a great depth,
and thereby throw the poor subsoil on
the surface, but to loosen up the soil
to a depth of one foot or more is ben
eficial to all crops, no matter how
small or delicate.
There are soils which do not require
deepening, but they are the exception
and not the rule; consequently, we
leave them out of the list under
consideration at this time. We will
suppose, for instance, that a farmer
wishes to plant an apple orchard this
spring upon soil that is rich enough
for the purpose, without applying any
fertilizing materials whatever ; and,
further,we will suppose that he knows
enough about apple trees not to plant
them in a swamp, or in ground BO sto
gy that it cannot be cultivated; neith
er will we expect him to turn over an
old sod that has not been plowed for
years, and use such land for an oral ,
and until the tough roots of grass and
weeds have become, at least. partial
ly decomposed. But we expect that
our farmers will plant the trees in the
best soil on his farm, provided it is
favorably situated and is naturally dry
and good.
The first thing to be decided is the
distance apart at which the trees are
to be planted—whether twenty-five,
thirty, or forty feet ; the second num
ber will afford room enough for varie
ties of moderate growth,but where the
land is very rich and not too expen
sive, more space may be allowed.
Lay out the ground by driving a
stake at each end of the space to be
occupied by a row of trees, then plow
the lands into beds of the same width
as the rows are apart, commencing
exactly in the middle between the
rows, and back-furrow until the entire'
space is plowed, finishing with a dead
furrow just where the trees are to be
planted. Plow as deep as possible in
the deep furrows ; going through
three or four times will do no harm,
but much good.
Proceed in the same manner, until
the land to be occupied is all plowed,
then put on the harrow and pulverize
the soil as thoroughly as possible, then
plow it again. and turn the land back
into its former position.
If a more thorough preparation can
be afforded, then the land may be
cross-plowed in the same manner. By
adopting this system of preparation
.the soil is broken up fine, and left
with an even surface, while its great
depth will be just where the trees are
to be planted. If the first plowing can
be done in the fall of the year it would
be better than doing both in spring,
or if the trees are to be planted in au
tumn, let the spring plowing be done
with reference to this subject, and
throw up into beds accordingly.—
Some of our orchardists recommend
throwing the land into beds,and plant
ing the trees on the ridges, but this
plan we do not consider a good one,
because it necessitates the keeping of
the lands in beds, or the roots of the
trees will soon become exposed. Lev
el culture is always preferable in a
climate like that of the United States,
and if the land is too wet to admit of
it then it should be underdrained, as
this is far cheaper in the end than to
.be continually throwing up beds for
the rains to wash down again.
If the soil to be used for an orchard
is heavy clay, then subsoiling, aswell
as plowing,must be resorted to.if good
results are to be expected. Digging
deep and wide holes for the reception'
of trees is a system almost universally
recommended in this country, but in
nine cases out of ten, these holes are
but the receptacle of water, which
collects from the surrounding soil,and
it does more harm than good. We
like the idea as well as the practice of
.deep culture, but want the soil all
deep.and if we cannot secure this,then
a wide deep furrow across the entire
field is far better and more readily ob
tained with a plow than a little deep
soil under each tree. TX manure is re
quired, then it may be applied to the
dead furrows after the first plowing,
and thoroughly mixed with the soil
at the second. This is our system of
preparing ordinary good soil for an
apple-orchard. We like it, and others
may,by giving it a trial. —llearth and

TEE Essex Banner asserts that small
quantities of sunflower seed mixed with
the food of a horse, will impart a fine
gloss to his hair, while it is also a cer
tain cure for founder, if given immedi
ately after the ailment is discovered.—
In the latter case, about a pint • of the
seed should be mingled with the oats
or chopped feed, when a cure will be
effected, The prescription is not a cost
lv oult, and can hardly prove ha , HAW

Asparagus.
From the 20th of March to the Ist
of April, the asparagus beds should
have the. coarse part of the manure
with which they have been covered
during winter taken off, and as soon
as dry enough the rest carefully fork
ed-in, all clods removed and the top
soil nicely pulverized with a rake. A
&mit:lg of coarse salt—fish salt will
answer—should be applied the first
week in April. The ground should be
well covered with the salt, but care
must be taken that it does not come
in contact with box-edging, plants and
small trees, as it is fatal to them.
In setting out new asparagus beds,
if roots one or two years are planted,
let them be about one foot apart each
way, the crowns of the roots being
from three to four inches below the
surface. The soil should be at least
eighteen inches in depth and made as
rich as it can be. Apply no salt until
after the plants produce a crop,which
will be the third year.
Beds can be made as early in March
as the season will admit of, but care
must be taken to perform the work in
the best manner.
There is no reason in the world why
every farmer and family having a gar
den should not have an asparagus
bed. There is no superior to it, and
it comes before we can get anything
else, except spinach and cauliflower :
the latter, however, is both trouble
some and costly. When an asparagus
bed is once established, and regularly
covered in the winter with a good
coating of rick manure, and salted in
the spring, it will last, without other
trouble and expense, from twenty-five
to thirty years.—Germantown Tele
graph,.
Diseases of Farm Stock.
A correspondent of the Journal of
Agriculture proposes the following
question to the readers familiar with
chemistry in its applications to vege
tables and animals :
" The idea has been suggested in
some of my reading, that the multi
plying of diseases among all kinds of
farm stock may be owing to the fact
that certain qualities of ingredients
which arc always found in virgin soils,
and which are essential to the healthy
development of animal organisms,
have become so far exhausted that the
vegetation—the feed uow produced is
deficient in those elements, and hence
these various diseases.
Is there any ground for this theory?
Is it possible that iron, for instance,
which forms so important a part of
the animal structure, may be abun
dantly supplied to vegetation growing
on virgin soil, and through it, to cat
tle. and yet may, by long cultivation,
be so entirely absorbed from the soil
that the vegetation growing there will
be entirely d estitute of that element?
I do not believe this theory, nor do I
entirely disbelieve it, for it is easy. to
aee that there may be many grains of
truth in it.
Dentists tell us that one cause of
teeth decaying in early life is because
the system is not supplied with prop
er food to form enamel. The same
general law may apply to domestic
animals. Who can tell?"—Rural N.
Yorker.
The Best Position for Grapes.
Some persons think that grapes
ripen best on trellises, others prefer
arbers ; some approve of keeping the
vines high, and others advocate low
training. Who shall decide when
doctors disagree? We had an oppor
tunity this year of seeing at least some
of these positions tested, for a Hart
ford prolific vine of ours, which was
planted against a hoard fence in scor
ner of our garden, for the purpose of
covering an arbor or summer house,
bore heavily, some of the bunches be
ing on the canes which were trained
against the fence, some on th ose which
covered the side of the arbor, and
some on the top or roof,
The bunches which were close to
the fence were loose and straggling,
with small berries; those on the side
of the arbor were better; but the best
of all were those which grew on the
op and hung Clown under the foliage,
so that the rays of the sun never reach
ed them.Thebuncheswere compact and
well shouldered,and the berries large
and of a better flavor than those which
were exposed to the sun ; they ripen
ed sooner than the others. A young
vine which grew on the ground with
out any support bore one bunch, and
this ripened earlier than any of those
which were trained on trellises or
arbors. In Maderia the vines are al
lowed to run along the ground and
clamber over the uneven rocky sur
face. with excellent results.—Ex.
FARMERS as a class should discuss
their vocation and interests more ex.
elusively than they are in the habit of
doing. The information they possess
and may command, should be gener
aly disseminated, digested, and bro't
within the scope of practice ; and the
means to effect this lie in Farmers'
clubs, agricultural books and journals.
Winter gives the farmer some leisure,
which should be improved in every
practical way to gain such knowledge
as will direct manual labor to more ef
fective results.

0.-tty over all others as a Family Machine.—
The Simplicity, Ease and Certainty with
which it operates, as well as the uniform la
cellence of its work, certainly place it far in
advance of any other similar invention of the
age.
It is also the eheayeat,intrinsically, as well
as the best, since it is really two machines
combined in one, (by r simple and beautiful
mechanical arrangement never before ac
comp,isheti by human ingennity,) making
either the Lock Stitch or Button Hole Stitch,
as occasion may require. It is, at the same
time, simple in construction, comparatively
noiseless, easily understoo I, and, in a
it combines with those advantages exclusive
ly its own the most desirable qualities of all
others, for it not only does every variety
of sewing in a SUPERIOR BANNER, but
in addition OVERSEAUS splendidly and
makes beautiful Hunan and EYELET HOLES
in all fabrics. This is far beyond the ca•
pacify of any other machine.
The SPLENDID sigcnentsm of this Machine,
