jrarm, [From the American Agriculturist CULTIVATING ORCHARDS. Apple orchards left to themselves bear only on alternate years, with such uniformity, that •'hearing years" bare come to be regarded as the order of nature, rather than a human de vice. The trees, in average soil, do not have aliment enough to give full crops every year. Cultivation and manuring will change all this, and give us remunerative crops every season. Possibly manuring might do this even if the orchard were left in grass. But the danger is, if the orchard is left unplowed, it will not get the manure. The common objection offered to plowing is the damage done to the roots of the trees. We have no doubt thai an orchard might be plowed so deep and so near the trunk of the trees as to damage it past hope of recovery. But discretion if to he used, and the plow is to be kept so near the surface under the trees, a* not to break off the large roots. It has al so been ascertained that grain crops are not good for orchards. We have known orchards to he made barrep for several years in conse quence of a crop of rye. Grain crops, unless buckwheat be an exception, take from the soil what tbe tree need, and shade the land too much. Root crops are the most desirable, because they require a good deal of manure and thorough tillage to make them profitable. The frequent stirring of the soil, and the fer tilisers are the wants of the apple tree, and the root crop enables the farmer to give these to his orchard, and at the same time be is re munerated for bis labor. Potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips, are all good crops for the orchard, if you put on ma nure enough to make them pay. A surplus must be left in the soil to make the apple crop. But will an orchard thus fed bear every year? We have no doubt of it. The apple crop may be made as sure as the root crops. We once plowed up beneath an old apple tree that had an inveterate habit of bearing only every oth er year, and planted with potatoes, manuring liberally. We had a full crop of apples the second year, and shall always think the ma nure and the cultivation made the change. Horticulturists who make a speciality of ap ples, and manure every year, succeed in get ting crops every season, with very rare excep tions. David Lyman, Esq., of Middlefield, Conn.. stated at a reoent meeting of the Board of Agriculture, that he cultivated his orchards, and got crops every year. They were not al ways foil crops, but were enongh to pay for the trouble. Judging from the appearance of his orchards, which we visited a few years since in the apple season, we think that a very modest statement. We have rarely seen so 6ne a show of apples, even at the county lairs, as could have been gathered from bis trees. The secret of his success is cultivation and manure, and a reasonable watch against the encroachments of insects. The plowing late in the fail as well as in the spring, he thinks a great safeguard against their depre dations. Multitudes of the chrysalides are unearthed and destroyed. If this was attend ed to, and the windfalls picked up and fed to the p'gs, we think there would be little dam age 'rom the attacks of insects. The apple is f o fine a fruit, and so easily kept, it is so in -ch both food and luxury, that no pains sf.ould be spared to keep our orchards in the 'est condition. We arc tired of seeing ap pies quoted at $7 a barrel, but even at that price they are much cheaper than pills. TRANSPLANTING ANNUALS Annual flowers are generally sown too thick ly, and the tufts or patches may be much im proved by thinning out the plants to proper distances, and those which arc taken up may be planted into bare spots, where they will have room to develop into their proper size. The German Asters are hardy and bear trans planting well; they have also the very desir able properties of being very beatiful and re maining in bloom for a long time. Portulac cas bear transplanting well, and are a very showy flower, which bears a succession of bloom until late in the hall. The numerous varieties of the Petunia bear transplanting well, and are so hardy that they bear a severe frost before they cease to bloom. There are some annuals which do not bear transplanting well. Among those are the Canby Tuft, Morning Glory, Scarlet Runner, Lupiu Pop py, etc. Even these, when taken up when they arc small, with a ball of earth surround ing the roots, and set out in moist soil, will do well. The operation must be performed with a transplanting trowel, or anything that will take up the plants without damaging the roots. FREXCH METHOD O Y RAISINS TOMATOES.— As soon as a cluster of flowers is visible, the stem is topped down to the cluster, so that the flowers terminate the stem. The effect is, that the sap is immediately impelled into the two buds next below the cluster, which soon push strongly and produce another cluster of flowers each. When these arc visible, the branch to which they belong is also topped down to their level; and this is done five times successively. Bv this means, the plants become stont, dwarf bushes, not above eigh teen inches high. In order to prevent their falling over, sticks or strings are stretched horizontally along the rows, so as to keep the plants erect. In addition to this, all the laterals that have no flowers, and after the fifth topping, all laterals, whatsoever, are nip ped off. In this way the ripe sap is directed into the fruit, which acquires a beauty, size and excellence unattainable by other means. BEEF CATTI.F. SHOI-LD BE FAT.— Farmers sell too many of their beef cattle when tbey arc in merely ordinary condition. In doing this there is a two fold loss that but few con aider. The animal yields a less number of pounds and the meat brings a lower price. Between ordinary beef and really choice, fat beef there is always a difference of two or three cents per pound, and this difference, when added to the whole number ot pounds when the animal is in the best condition, will be found to be no mean amount. Nothing pays better than the few bushels of grain or the few days upon good June grass, that puts the 'finishing touch" upon what is generally denominated a good beef animal. Those of our readers who have followed this often re peated advice in our live stock market reports are witnesses to its soundness. I) 0 not be in a hurry to market, under ordinary circam stances, until cattle are really fat. The same applies to all other market animals.

So we shall have in Con gress one muscle man, though, we fear, very few Christians.— l'reiUict A LAW YKIT asked a dutebman in court what ear marks a pig had, that was in dispute. "Veil, he has no ear marks except a very short tail." A KKI.Low once pretending to have seen a ghost, was a„ked what the apparitiou said to hiui. "How should I know?" he replied, '"1 am not skilled in the dead languages." "WON'T you take half ot this poor apple?" said a pretty damsel. "No, I thank you ; 1 would prefer a belter half.''' Eliza blushed, and referred him to her papa. A WIDOW said one day to her daughter : "When you are of my age, you will be dream ing of a husband." "Yea, mamma." replied the young lady, "for the second time.'" "SAMMY, roy son, don't stand there scratch ing your head ; stir your stumps, or you'l make no progress in life." "Why, father, I've beard you say the only way to get along in this world was to scratch a head." "MA," said a little girl to her mother, "do the men want to get married as much as the women do?" "Pshaw ! what are you talking about?" "Why ma, the women who come here are always talking about getting married —the men don't." "I corn-: for the saw, sir," "What saucer?" "\\ hy, the saw, sir, that you borrowed." "I borrowed no saucer." "Sure you did. sir : you borrowed a saw. sir." "J never saw your saucer.' "But you did : there's the saw now, sir." "O, you want the saw. Why didn't you say so V IN the depot is a placard announcing "No smoking." pasted over an oil lamp. Two Iri-hinen appear, one smoking, 'Pat." says the other, "ye re transgressia' the rules ol the establishment,, ye are." "How's that?" says the smoker. "Don't you see there no smoking? "Vis: but can't ye see ye spalpeen, the remark is addressed to the lamp ?'" MISS WII.KIXS was a beautiful blonde, and she wanted to go to Scarborough—so she told ber mother to look for something very par ticular for her dear papa. "And what is it, pray," asked her mother, "that you so much wish to find for your dear papa?" "A son in-law," was the gentle reply of the blushing maiden. A certain judge was reprimanding an attor ney for bringing several small suils.into cour 1 and remarked that it would have been much better for all parties, bad be persuaded bis clients to leave their cause to the arbitration of two or three honest men. "Please your honor." retorted the lawyer, "We did not choose to trouble honest men with them." The judge fainted. A woman was testifying recently in court in behalf of ber son and swore "that he wor ked on a farm ever since he was born." The lawyer who cross examined her said: "You assert that your son has worked 011 a farm ever since he was born." Says she, "1 do." "Then," said the lawyer, "what did he do the first year?" He Milked ," said she, and the lawyer evaporated. A POLITICAL CONVENTION in New-England several years ago nominated a quiet well-to do farmer for the office of Lieutenant-Gover nor. The nominee graciously received the the committee appointed to wait upon hi n at his residence, and, after expressing his thanks for the honor con ferred upon him informed the committee that he had peculiar qualifica tions for Lieutenant Governor, "for, gentle men." said he, "that is just the office I have heldinmy house forthelast twenty five years," A Yorxo LAWYER, who had long paid court to a lady without much advancing his suit, accused her one day of being insensibla to the power of love. "It does not follow, she archly replied, "that I am so because lam not to be won by the power of attorney." Forgive me," replied the suitor, "but you should remember that nil the votaries of Cu pid are solicitors." Ax Irish hostler was sent to the stable to bring out a travler's horse, but not knowing which of the two strange horses in the stalls belonged to the traveller and wishing to avoid the appear ance of ignorance in his business, he saddled both animals anu brought them to the door. The traveller pointed out his own horse, saying. "That's my nag." "Certainly, ycr honor, I know that very well," said Pat, "but I didn't know which was the other gen tleman's." "PAPA,-' said a terrible infant atthc break fast table, "can fishes run?" No, my son," said Papa, with due dignity, "fishes do not run; they swim by using their fins and tails." "Well, then, what did Cousin Sophie mean when she said that you looked in the morning like the last run of shad?" It is believed that when Cousin Sophie caught that "terrible in fant" alone, her conduct toward hi-n was not caressing. PT'BLIC SALE OF VALUABLE REAL ES TATE.
