FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Cultivation or Orchard• ,Professor Beal shbwvd us, on the farm of the Agricultural College at Lancaster, Michigan, au apple orchard which pre- , seated the several advantages of full cul tivation. part culture, and growth in grass. Lie began the experiments last year, on an orchard 14 years planted, the trees being two rods apart, about 12 or 14,, feet high, and the heads had grown to about 15 feet horizontally. The ground being in grass, a part was plowed between the rows. The roots were found matted over the whole surface. or had extended so as to meet and cross each other ; and Prof B. thinks that they reached within six feet of the next rows. lu other words, these trees not over 14 feet high, bad thrown out roots on all sides to a dis tance of 27 feet. Ile had plowed part of the ground over the whole surface, and other portions with grass left around the trees, six, eight and ten feet in diameter. The ground has been only cultivated or harrowed this year. All these trees alike with dark green foliage, with thrifty young sboots over the herds. No differ ence was discernible between these which stood in the ground wholly cultivated, and those that had the six, eight and ten feet circles of grass. Other portions of th e orchard was left in grass, with culti vated circles i.ext to the foot of each trunk, six, eight and ten feet in diameter. All these trees had a yellower cast to the foliage that those which had been culti vated to the elide of the roots, and the annual shoots were less vigorous. The trees which had the cultivated circle were no better, apparently, than those wholly in grass. the great mass of the roots ex tended ear beyond the cultivated bounda ries. The iltifet?nce between the parts of the orchaid which were cultivated and that left in grass, was so marked as to be perceived by any one passing the adjacent highway, and they showed most conclu sively the importance of cultivating or chards in regions no more fertile than central Michigan.—Gotentre Gentleman. Salt on Land A correspondent of the Western Rura says: "About 5 o'clock one fine summer's morning I noticed that where salt had been sown the previous day, every grain of salt-had attached to itself the dew. and formed on the surface a wet spot about the size of a sixpence, the ground hying generally very dry. On our light lands it consolidates them and tnaket them especially firm and acceptable to the wheat plant, whose straw will stand firm and erect, although four and a half feet ong. It is also unfavorable to certain weeds by this consideration. It prevents the ravage of the wire worm. It is es pecially favorable to saline plants, such as marigolds, whose ashes contain fifty per cent. of salt. I never saw guano except mixed with its weight of salt. Like everything else it has, I am sorry to say, greatly risen in price. I observe that all eropsseem to thrive well on land near salt water, especially where the land is drain ed.- "My hand is not a lemon nor my lips dear meat, as the young lady said to her t evert when they parted at the door the other night. \by did she speak thus ly ? " Against Hard Pruning on Heavy .. I will give you an instance which I think goes far to prove that fruit trees in the heavy soil here do not like hard pru ning. An orvhard, principally apples, was planted fifteen dr more years ago, the trees were kept closely pruned, and pro duced at the time I first saw theni a great quantity of twiggy shoots, which were annually cot back, to be followed by a greater number of the same sort, and little or no fruit. The stems were hide bound, and covered with lichin, and did not increase iu size. Three years ago the shoots were merely thinned in summer leaving the principal ones their full length, or nearly so, and since then they have been left to themselves. The result is that the trees are recovering rapidly, the stems are swelling, the bark cracking and the lichin falling off. and instead of twiggy shoots. we have hoots two feet in length fall of fruit spats. Last year many of the trees produce fruit of good quality, and I am iu hopes of an annual improvement.—William Taylor. Old Potatoes. ——o— An Eastern exchange gives the follow ing advice : Potatoes,to be good. should never be exposed to the light, but kept in as dark a place as possible. After they begin to sprout in the spring, they should be taken up from the bins or heaps and be kept in boxes or barrels. If you have a few barrels saved out for family use, instead of picking them over and sprout ing every few weess, put them in enough barrels so that you can easily turn them ir.m one barrel to another. Have one extra barrel, and once every week, turn them all out from one barrel to another. This keeps them moving so often that the sprouts cannot grow enough to do much harm. Why is it that so many of our farmers and nearly all of our city carters, insist on using a tight rein on worki❑ horses? When a horse left to his natural inclina tion, has a heavy load to pull, be can beat exert his strength if his back hone is in one continuous line, and this he will have if not prevented by a tight check r-cin. Some claim that it prevents a horse from falling, and when a man can lift himself over a fence by lifting on his suspenders, we believe it. When a horse fa!ls, a tight rein a-ill most effectually prevent him from getting onto his feet again.`. Try it without the rein and see if we are not correct iu our practibe and theory White Hairs on Horses, —o— A correspondent of the Massachusetts Ploughman, recommends the following remedy for which hairs on horses, which appear on spots galled by the harness or caddie Take a piece of lard large enough to give the place a thorough greasing ; rub the same with the hand until it becomes hot, repeat the operation three or four times, and the white hair will soon come out, and hairs of a natur al color take their place. I have tried this on several horses, and I never knew it to faiL I think the best time to do this is in the winter, before a new coat starts. New apples are one dollar and ten cents a titian.
