Plowing old Orchards-
It is a common opinion that plowing an
old or bearing orchard, that has remained
in sod several years, injures the trees by
tearing the roots, and does more harm than
good. There may possibly be cases where
very old trees, on soils of peculiar charac
ter, may be thus injured ; but among many
instances of the kind,we have never known
an orchard that was not benefitted by the
plowing. There is a propensity among
cultivators to frame theories in lavor of
ease and negligence ; and we are inclined
to place this theory, in relation to plowing,
in the same class. In ti.e autumn of the
year 1862 we examined a fine orchard on
the farm of Samuel Knox ot Worcester
counly, Mass. It consisted of 75 years old
—4B of these were Baldwins, and most of
the remainder llubbardston Nonsuch, ibis
orchard had, for several years previously,
remained uncultivated and in grass. About
one year before our, visit, the owner had
applied manure at the rate of about 42 horse
loads to the acre. He then plowed the ma
nure in, about 10 inches deep, and, in do
ing so, cut off many of the roots. A large
cart load of roots, were thus torn up, and
drawn from the field, many ot them an inch
and a half in diameter. We observed many
as large as a large walking stick The
trees at that time were heavily loaded with
large fine apples—quite equal to anything
of the kind we had ever before witnessed.
Although the trees, then 16 years old, were
only about half the usual size of old or full
growing bearing trees, they were estima
ted to yield at least an average of two bar
rels per tree, or about one-hundred barrels
per acre.
On mentioning the treatment of this or
chard and its heavy products, to an intelli
gent friend, then residing in Boston,he said
that there was no question that the orchard
was fatally injured by the plowing, and
that was probablyAhe last good crop that
it would ever bear, —that orchards gen
erally survived such treatment only a year
or two, so far as their value of productive
ness was concerned, although, they might
do well for the first year.
A successful cultivator of fruit, in that
neighborhood, has recently furnished us
some additional information in relation to
this orchard. He states that the plowing
was continued Ibr'two years, and that the
orchard is in as vigorous a condition as ev
er. The crop in the year 1863 was quite
equal to that of the year before. The ap
ple crop generally in Worcester county, for
the last two years, has been almost an en
tire failure,yet these trees have grown well,
and produced fruit that took the first pre
mium iu Worcester couuty.
We are inclined to think that, as a gen
eral rule, the injury which is done to fruit
trees, by plowing and tearing the roots, if
any, is greatly overbalenced by the benefit
derived from the cultivation of the soil.—
We would like reports of experiment like
this whether in favor of,or against the prac
tice, provided they are the result of thor
ough trial, and distinct and accurate obser
vation, and not mere opinions from imper
fect or accidental work.
Those who have old orchards, and are
willing to plow them, may keep them in
good order, provided the soil is naturally
fertile, by grazing closely with sheep, and
giving them an occasional top-dressing in
autumn,iu addition to the top-dressing they
receive from the sheep. A good rule for
practice is, to observe the annual growth
which the trees make. If these shoots are
less than a foot long, manuring or cultiva
tion, or both, should be resorted to. If they
are 18 inches or more,they indicate a growth
sufficiently vigorous. This applies to bear-1
ing trees, and not to young or newly set
orchards, which should be made to grow
two or three feet yearly.
Breeding Swine-
In Europe, among all good farmers, it is
a settled rule, in order to have vigorous,
thrifty pigs,that they must be bread by old
breeding sows, and such they keep as long
as they are useful and vigorous for breed
ers. They would as soon think of keeping
a cow nearly dry,for milk,as to use a young
sow for a breeder. While a sow is young
and growing, the full vigor of her constitu
tion is not developed ; this shows itself in
her offspring—they are more puny and less
thrifty, while she is a bad milker compared
witli an older animal,whose food is conver
ted into milk and fat, and none goes to the
development of the frame.
1 once had a chance to test fairly the
merits of an old sow's and a young sow's
pigs. The two sows were mother and daugh
ter, one three years and the other eleven
months old —breed Berkshire and Mackay ;
they both pigged at the same time. The
old sow had twelve, but weighing near 500
pounds, live weight, she lay on six and kill
ed them, her pen being too small and con
taining too much coarse litter. The young
sow had six, and they all lived. Within
twenty-four hours after their birth I put
three of the young sow's upon the old sow.
She adopted them and treated them kindly,
and although they were at the same breast
as the pigs of the old sow, and had as good
a chance as the pigs from the old sow, at
ten weeks old the difference in the pigs was
lull 20 per cent., and about the difference
against the pigs of the young sow existed
at the time they were slaughteied. Their
food was always precisely the same. The
only conclusion which can be drawn from
this experiment is, that an old sow's pigs
possess a more vigorous constitution, and
therefore are more thrifty and profitable.
No animal kept on a farm, unless it be the
sheep, yields more profit to the farmer than
a good breeding sow. If managed right,
such may be made to produce two litters a
year at tbe proper times ; and, as prices of
pigs have been the last two years,one good
breeding sow would yield as much clear
profit as three ordinary cows ; and at any
time they are profitable stock to keep, if of
a good breed. For Massachusetts, that
breed is best which comes to maturity ear
ly, and will make from 350 to 400 pounnds
good pork at ten or eleven years old. Pork
costs too much in Massachusetts, where
hogs must be kept eighteen months or two
years to make it.— Massachusetts Farmer.
ASHES AS A MANURE.—I. uleached ashes, in
u, y humble opinion, are of fur more value
than many people imagine. I have used
ashes as a manure since I commenced far
ming, and so satisfied am 1 of their fertili
zing value that 1 WOKM not sell a bushel
for twice or thrice the sum paid for them at
the ashories. I will give a little of my
experience in the use of them as a ferti
lizer, as the best I can say in their favor.
The greatest increase caused by the use
<>t them,that I have known,by actual meas
ure, was on potatoes,used as a top dressing
in the year 1846. After dressing my corn
with ashes that year, 1 had one bushel left,
which 1 put on eight rows of potatoes which
j itdded one bushel more to the row than
any other rows in that field. It was a sod
land, turned over in the spring, and planted
without manure of any kind I have no
doubt that the one bushel of ashes increas
< d my crop of potatoes eight bushels. The
rows were about fourteen rods long.
For corn, I think ashes and plaster ( and
a small handful of the mixture put iuto each
hill, is the best way to use them. This
mixture I prefer to either alone or both used
as a top dressing. I think it has made one
half difference in the value of a piece of
corn, judging from one row left without the
ashes and plaster,not from actual measure
ment. It was on ground without manure
of any other kind. Ashes alone, as a top
dressing, are very beneficial to corn. Af
ter it has come up,l find where I have used
it so, the stalks are larger and taller, the
cars longer and better filled out and the corn
sounder and some earlier.
How to Grow Early Lettuce.
In order to grow tender and crisp lettuce
the leaves must be produced iu the shortest
possible time, as those heads are apt to be
tough and stringy which have been grow
ing slowly. Iu order, therefore, to make
lettuce grow rapidly, the ground must be
well prepared by thorough pulverization and
manuring; and the exposure of the bed
should be, if possible, on the sunny side of
some large building or hill. Sometimes a
plot of ground may be obtained on the sun
ny side of a high board feuce; where a bed
may be spaded for a few heads of early let
tuce, which would be sufficiently large for
the table several weeks before that grow
ing in an unprotected location.
It is better to prepare the bed and sow
the seed in late autumn when it can be
done, as the manure will be more thorough
ly prepared during the winter to promote
the growth of the lettuce. The best ferti
lizing material is horse stable manure that
has never been allowed to heat. If the soil
be heavy let a large quantity of sand or fine
gravel and muck be thoroughly miugled
with the manure and the soil. If the seed
be sown very early in the spring, boards
about six inches wide may be set on the
edge, and a window from some building
simply laid over the bed for a few weeks.
Every alternate day, the bed should l e
sprinkled with warm rain water. During
warm days,let tha sash be raised one-fourth
of an inch on one side during the day and
be kept close at night, and especially in
cold, stormy days, as cold winds cheek the
growth of the leaves and render the lettuce
tough.
Good cultivation is essential to the pro
duction of a tender and crisp lettuce of a
luxurant growth. Lettuce must be pro
duced iu a rich aud mellow soil, and the
manure must be broken to atoms that a
rank, coarse growth will not be produced.
It is better to sow only a small plot about
every ten or twelve days, so as to have let
tuce fresh aud'teuder for several weeks iu
succession.
Starting Plants Early in the Season-
If no hot-bead be prepared for starting
garden vegetables early, and only a few
hills are desired, the most] convenient way
is to procure a lot of sods where the ground
is rich and mellow,and place them on shelves
in a kitchen or store-room, with the grass
side down. The pieces should be cut about
one foot square and three inches thick.—
Each piece will then make four hills, stan
ding in pieces of sod six inches square. Ex
cellent suds for such a purpose may be pro
cured along the highway side, where the
soil is composed of fine alluvial deposits, or
muck free from stones. Mark each piece,
when planting the seeds, into four equal
squares. If Indian corn be planted, let the
grain be dibbled in about one and a half in
ches deep, planting four kernels in each
square. Plant the grains iu a circle around
the centre of the piece of sod which is ap
propriated to each hill. It is important
that the sods should be of fertile soil, that
would produce a luxuriant growth of plants
without the application of any fertilizing
matter. Other sods may receive the seeds
of tomatoes, some the seeds of squash, cu
cumbers, or beaus, —all of which, except
the tomato seeds, should be planted by
sticking the seeds in the soil with the germ
downwards, and covering them witli fine
mould.
This manner of planting seeds is to fa
cilitate their coming up. Let the sods be
watered twice, daily, to keep the dirt uni
formly moist. No more warm water should
be applied than the earth will hold by ab
sorption. The roots will spread through
the pieces of sod, and the young plants will
grow rapidly in a store-room. When the
weather has become sufficiently warm for
the hills to be put out iu the open ground,
with a large, sharp knife, cut the sods into
four equal parts,and place them in the gar
den, where the ground has been finely spa
ded and manured. As the roots will not
be displaced by the removal, the pieces of
sod will decay- and form excellent nour
ishment for the young plants.
GRIND THE TOOLS. —Keep the tools sharp
or they will not cut. A dull tool wastes
time,and he who permits it to work in that
condition, is a dull fellow. The best tur
ners are those who have the sharpest tools ;
the most successful surgeons use the keen
est knives, and the most enterprising and
energetic men in civil life are those whose
wits have been early sharp, and whose per
ceptive faculties have been whetted by sore
experience in early life. A dull tool is a
useless implement, and a thick-headed,un
observent person is the only one who should
be found wielding it. The obtuse edge nei
ther cleaves nor separates, but bruises and
works off by attrition particles of the sub
stance on which it operates. Grind up the
tools and sharpen the wit as well ; if one is
keen, the other will in all probability be in
a similar state, from force of sympathy
alone. A boy with a dull pocket-knife is
one who swings on the gate and who dodg
es his duty ; he is one who in after life will
be a dunce and a curnberer of the ground ;
he will add nothing to the world of science,
neither will he take from it ; his existence
is merely animal, his thoughts and ideas, if
he has any,wholly conventional. Ilis com
rade with a keen blade, make models of
machinery, ol boats or steamers,and in time
become a George Steers, or so develops his
mother wit as to be a decided acquisition
to the community. Let us have all the
tools in good condition sharp, trench mt,
and always ready for service ; then, and
then only will the result produced be equal
to the time and Idbor expended.— Bcientific
American.
SCRAPING FRUIT TREES. —Scrape dead bark
from trunks and large branches of trees,and
in dry weather wash with this compound
Foil down in an iron vessel, a pound of sal
soda and dissolve in a gallon of rain water.
Two applications a year of this, will keep
trees clean and free from bores.
Apple and pear trees may be pruned,
where the wood is mature. Mulch trees
with charcoal dust, or hiiig manure.
SWINE—ESSEX, BERKSHIRE, ETC. —There is
a good deal of inquiry where to get well
bred hogs of various breeds, especially of
the kinds named. Those breeds who have
them should advertise more freely.
COOKIES —One pound butter, 14b. sugar,
lib. flour, 6 eggs well beaten. Drop on
