c:=l 6 Nritnitural. From the Germantown Telegraph. IMPROVEMENT OF-Ali OLD ORCHARD. AIR. Bntron t-1 have always been of the opinion that one of the principal causes of !cay in.apple trees, is a want of proper c ire. All things on this earth, have a ten dency to degenerate, unless properly man-, god, and the apple tree is certainly not an exception. The apple tree (in Plymouth, Massachusetts,) planted by Perigrine White the first male child born ,on this' continent after the landing of. the Pilgrims of the An glo Saxton race, is, I am told, still living, producing annually, a few apples, and' bid ding fair to see many years yet. Instances of remarkable longevity have also been wit nessed in other sections of this. country ; but none which approximates very Itearly that of the Plythouth tree. On my farm there is an apple tree of very large size, standing by the side of the road, but some two rods within the line of the fence, and in lands that have been cultivated regularly, either in roots, grass.or grains, till iiithin period of twelve years, when a change in my field operations induced me to turn it out to pasture. Some twenty years since yearsliefore I became -ac quainted with it—this tree rather abruptly ceased bearing. Its age at that time was unknown.. Thinking that -it might be re suse,itated, 1 comMenced the undertaking by digging areund the trunk to the distance of the longest limbs, and to the depth of one foot, inverting the sward. and placing it over the roots and in immediate contact with them. On this sward, I sowed quick lime, wood ashes and gypsum—one bushel of each being used,—and covered it with ch Wed oat straw, the depth two inches, where compressed. Fine soil was then thrown on till the excavation was nearly tilled"; after which a certload of line com post was dumped On and evenly spread over the whole. The_ deadlinffis were next cnt out, and the top reduced to one half its foraier size. The cavities caused by the filling off of old and decayed limbs, tiro cases extended nearly to the trunk', Were fillu l with " Forsyth's Cement," apd all the limbs which could-' be reach 2d, or safely'f: got at in any way,. were scraped and washed with ands. This work was performed I the spring of 1850. The next year the tree blossomed and-produced a few apples, which matured. The next szason the bearing was abundant, and since then it has not failed to produce a good crop. The apples are of infl!rior quality, and I shall now gr..ft it, as it has produced fine wood for the opera tion, care having been taken to remove all limbs which tended to destroy the symetry of the top, as well as the o:d wood, as fast at it could be replaced by new. I never cin sufficiently extol the sagacity of n it Bine Nose," at that time in my employ, w'to, on beholding the result of my experi m !at on the old apple,tree, assured me that he believed " things would neverdie if they were but properly taken care of, and that decay and oven death was the result of neg lect." The remark was worthy of a San gratin, and serves to illustrate the wonder ficility with which mew ideas gain en trance into minds of a certain cast. But Sir Blue Nose was no fool, after all, for af ter, in the first place, drawing his pay for his services, he, in the second place bor rowed one of my best horses, and is now, no r doubt, luxuriating on the proceeds of his I industry and villany amid the delectable fogs of his native “Quoddy." J. B. J. Cultivation of Potatoes. To prepare a field for potatoes, since the rot has matte its appearance; I plough nn d:r a thick sod, which would be equal to fifty or sixty loads of manure to the acre, and raise on it oats, peas or spring wheat. Then 1 plough deep in the fall after the crop comes off, with three horses, and'fol low with the subsoil plough. fill's makes heavy clay land light, and by bringing up the subsoil in cultivating it, you make it bJth cool and moist. I think I know• two retne lies fur the potatoe disease : the first is to plant on dry land which has been well cropped With oats for a number of years. I hive never known the rot on such land, nor did I ever -see on such land a fair yield.— The other remedy will afford a good yield. Plant your potatoes in a wide, shallow.fur row, and cover them over with straw, ,thor oughly saturated with brine; and then cov er the straw with 'hoe or plow; the latter answers every purpose, if there are no stones to prevent its being well done. I - planted one field of, thirteen acres in this way this season, an 'I then put on a heavy roller; letting.theexen straddle ono row, rolling down three rows at a time, and they are a good crop, and entirely free from rot, as most potatoes are this season.„ I have seeu a patch of potatoes planted iu this way, all sound,-while in the adjoining field thee were rotted so that they were not worth-. digging.—Exchange Plowing In Guano. A cOruspondent of tho Country Gentle man, In reply to an inquiry as to the best method of applying guano on clay land, says: " I have tried it on cl.ty land which had bean in grass for five years. On one-halfoof the field I plowed it in to thu depth of' about seven inches, and on the other half harrow. eft it in, awl plAnted it all with and sta%ed Wan equal- number of hills \ from each part. It all canto up equally troll, but In the early part of the summer there was a , t r% 0 41 iii Cie t.vil parts of t'le SIM I, which continued through tut the a 3 I -01,111 and upon husking, that which lit 0.111 plowed in, and staked oat' opot t plant- Ing, produced niho bushels,: whilo t which bad been harrowed in produced but five .bushels, showing the advantage of plowing it in, even in heavy clay soil. The soil was a slate, and thi, amount used aLout two• hundred poUnda to the arse." How Mich Lime Soils Need. We have Litely had occasion to remark that less lime is deeded in soils than many suppose. Prof. Emmons, in.his report on the Geological survey of North Carolina, say If we may appeal to observation and experiment, it is ititablished that a small per centage of limo only is necessary to the highest degree of fertility; and yet this small per cents,ge is necessary. !Mere is present one-halt of one per cent., it seems to be sufficient; for it Is rare to find a large quantity in productive soils." Prof. E. is a chemist and geologist of long experience and was one of the first (perhaps the first) to ascertain that some of the most produc tive soils for Wheat in Western New York contain comparatively little lime.—Boslon Cultivator.
