Prem thu Country Uoiittenmu,
The following successful treatment of an
orchard en n small farm lu a geed fruit
growing region, may nlleril seme useful sug sug sug
gosllens te ethers. The ewner kept herses
aud cattle, but he was se sltuated that he
could net keep sheep, nnd his swlne wero
confined within n smaller compass than an
orchard. He could net tliarofero avail him-
Beir or the ad vantages el sheep nud swlne for
destroying noxious Insects, n tnode found se
useful by ethers.
It Is hardly necessary te remark that
during a few of the llrst yours of his orchard,
and whlle the troes wero young, it was culti
vated with heed crops, of which corn was
found te be ene of the best liotter than most
low heed crops whero the treatment of the
roots was net se ravorable te the trees. They
grew vigorously, making annual sheets
about two feet long whlle young. The culti
vation was mostly continued till the tree
came fairly Inte bearing, the inanure applied
te the corn having Ha Inlluonce. As the
corn could net be continued overy year, It
wits alternated with corn redder sewn se
thickly in the furrows as te bear no ears or
exhausting grain. An occasional crop or clo cle
ver was plowed In between.
The laud was nexl soedod te orchard graRs
and clever, the trees having bocemo se large
as te shade materially most ethor crops. It
was Intended te glve a modorate top dressing
or manure overy autumn, hut the supnly did
net permit It oltener than biennially. If
sheep could have been turned in, they would
have grazed short the grass through the sea
son, but as they could net Is) had, or the
ewner did net wish te cut the grass for hay
he did the best he could with his cattle and
horses. The orchard grass and clever gave
very early pasturage for theso animals, and
by the time the apples were the size or peas
or small chorrles, they had enjoyed seme
weeks or geed pasture, They wero then ex
cluded, and the troes sprayed three times
with Paris green. The animals wero kept
out till about the Drst of October, when the
lrult was all gathered ; ami the grass had
made as luxuriant a growth as the shade or
the trees would permit. The animals then
had this line feed for the rest of the autumn
and late Inte Novembor.
This treatment has been sometimes varied
by turning In the cattle and horses, when
two or threa geed showers had well washed
the poison from the grass after the spraying,
which kept the gross younger and fresher,
the only objection te which was tbatthos,e
animals seen loarned te reach up for the
young apples which had grown an inch or
mero in diamoler.
The result of this troatment was quite suc
cessful, and the orchard was known as ene of
the best in the country, with smooth and
handseme fruit, and plenty el it.
The requisites ler success were cultivation
with crops well manured, whlle the trees
were young ; the biennial top dressing; au
occasional crop of clevor plowed In when the
trees wero elder ; und the spraying with
Paris green when the lrult was as large as
cherries, te destrey the codling worms and
ethor Insects.
