Best Soil For ax Orchard.—When
first cleared of the original forest., sandy
soils are U3ually, for a few years, more
productive than these of a clayey and ,
more eompact nature. They are light j ■
and porous, and the food of plants which •
they contain is in a more avsifnble cor.di- i
lion—more decomposed and soluble. But
such soils seldom, if ever, contain as much
plant-food at ti. >se of a more clay ..y char
acter, and they are, therefore, sooner irn- ,
poverished. They may he compared to a
circle of pitch-pine, which is easily ignited ,,
ami gives out considerable heat for a short '
time, bat is soon burnt up, while the clay
soils may be represented by a stick cf "
•staple, which is less combustible, burns
slower, but lasts longer, and, on the whole,
gives out mush more heat.
Sandy soils are easily cultivated, and
produce good crops for a short time, with
little labor. On this account, in a new
country especially, they are generally ,
more highly esteemed than clayey soils. ’
They, are, too, warmer and earlier, and
trees came sooner into bearing. For '
peaches, which in ordinary field culture
grow raprdiy and soon exhaust themselves, ,
sandy soils, if not too light, are usually ,
preferred. Sandy soils can be made very
productive by the judicious application of .
manure; while the clays require less '
manure, hat arc harder to cultivate.
..
T© Ceeaxse the Bare or Trees.—
In speaking on the quest.on before the <
Fruit Growers' Society of Western New
York, hekl at Rochester, September 22d. .
[i What are the best manures to reno
vate old apple orchards 2 ” W. P. Town- t
send said that be remembered how the j
old orchard got all mossy, and Lis father (
sent him to scrape the bark off the trees.
After working a while be got sick of it, c
and told bts father if he would let him t
take the team and draw some manure in- ;
to the old orchard, he could scrape the s
trees without injuring the bark. Redrew t
in upon those premises an average of t
half a load to each tree. Next year the i
bark began to peel, and of course to bring
with it the moss, and they increased in ■,
vigor. The next summer, turned the .
hogs in the orchard, ami they pretty
thoroughly rooted it ail over. Even to ]
the tops of the trees the old bark had ,
started, and the body had all the thrifty
and vigorous look of young trees. The
fruit that U3ed to be half or three-fourths |
wormy, is now fair, smooth and free from
vermin. By invigorating the tree*, he ■,
destroyed the insects that had destroyed ;
the fruit.
The Reasox wht Hoes Eat Ashes
axd Cixders.—Mr. Mecoi, of Tip Tree
Hall, England, has discovered that pigs, i
when put up to fatten, are very fond of
cinders, and improve in condition by eat
ing a certain portion of them daily. Some
persons are unable to account for this sin
gular propensity in swine. Poultry are
▼ery found of egg shells, lime, sand, etc.,
and it is well known these substances are
necessary in order to form the shells of
eggs, and to furnish material for the bones
or fowls. Now it is reasonable to sup
pose that swine eat ashes and cinders for
the purpose of supplying materials for
their bones, and this singular instinct in
animals so low in the scale of intelligence,
13 truly wonderful, for ashes contain the
ingredients which are necessary to form
bones, viz: carbonate and sulphate of lime,
phosphates of lime and magnesia, clay
and silica, gelatinized and made soluble
by the fire. When hogs are at large they
take in clay and silica with their food,
and eat bone and roots which contain the
necessary ingredients; but when they are
penned up they endeavor to supply the
materials necessary for keeping up their
frames by devouring ashes anJ cinders. ;
Let them have plenty of them.
Milk Cows.—“Mi'.k^butter and cheese |
—what tuxuriousness, what fatness ol'j
living dp they not suggest!—Wbu, of the
millions that daily throng the frugal or the j
sumptuous board, in cot obscure or palace '
grand, would feel half grateful for his lot I
were he deprived of either one? Thank j
Cod for cows!—d»mh nuries of the race i
of men. Other creatures are cu/c beau
tifol and of loftier mould, but there srel
none so foodful in their lives and mien, so
motherly and good.”—[Wisconsin Farm
er.
A good thought, capitally expressed.
Would it not be well for our people. gen
erally, to experience to me fullest extent
the depth of meaning ia the above, and
give more attention to the care and im
provement of their milk cows?—[Southern

Pacst-vo Fitcif Tacts.—-A writer
in the Cirwurvnatiis says the following

2d. Cot away one or two brandies

amputating large limbs.

habits ef the tree.

IxroaTATiaa or Foueig.v Bees.—The
xVgricultnrai Bureau of die United Stales,
Parent Office have received intelligence j
of the shipment from Havre, France, or'aj
large ’warm of Lombardy be^s. They
are of larger sire than the ordinary bee,
and having a longer bill, are able to suck
Bowers inaccessible to the American bees.
The product of an old hive of these bees
is said to be sometimes 15ft pounds of
honey in one reason. These bees will
not be distributed until 1061, by which
time it is expected to rear from the swarm
now in transitu, stock enough tor six hun
dred hives.
The Celti vatiov of Cottov.—A let
ter recently received from Tunis by a gen

igain resulted in a failure, both in the

Winter Rules.
Never go to bed with cold or damp
eet.
Iq going into a colder air keep the
loath resolutely closed, that, by compeL
ng the air to pass crrrairoasly through
me nose and head, it may become warm
d before it reaches the longs, and thus
revent those shocks and sudden chills
;hich frequently end in pleurisy, pneu
ionia and other serious diseases.
Never sleep with the head in the draft
f an open door or window.
Let more cover be on the tower limbs
ran on the body. Have an extra eover
mg within easy reach, incase of a sudden
nd great change of weather during the
%ht.
Never stand still a moment on; of doors,
specially at street corners, after having
ralked even a short, distance.
Never ride near the open window of a
ehtcle for a single half minute, espe
ially if it has been preceded by a walk;
aiuabte lives have thus been lost, or good
.eafth permanently destroyed.
Never put on a new boot or shoe in be
ginning a journey.
Never wear India robbers in easel, dry
veather.
If compelled to face a bitter cold wind,
brow a silk handkerchief over the face;
:s agency is wonderful in modifying the
old.
Those who are easily chilled on going
ut at doors, should have some cotton bat
ing attached to the vest or other garment,
0 as to protect the space between the
houlderblade behind, the lungs being at
acbed to the body at that point; a little
nereis worth five times the amount over
he chest in front.
Never sit for more than five minutes
it a time with the tack against the fir a or
rove.
Avoid sitting against cushions in the
jacks of pews in churches; if the un
:overed board feels cold, sit erect without
ouciung it.
Never begin a journey until breakfast
las been eaten.
After speaking, singing or preaching in
1 warm room in winter, do not leave it
or at least ten minutes, and even close
he mouth, put on gloves, wrap up the
jeckand put on a clonk or overcoat before
massing out of the door; the neglect of
hese has laid many a good and useful
nan in a premature grave.
Never speak under a hoarseness, es
>ecial!y if it requires an effort, or gives a
lurting or a painful feeling, for it often
esults in a permanent loss of voice, or a
ong life of invalidism.—[Hall's Journal
>f Health.
A Pretty Faxcy.—When the day be
gins to go up to heaven at n'ght. it does j
■jot spread a pair of wings and fly aloft
ike a bird, but it just climbs softly up on
* laddeT. It sets its red sandal on the
ihrub you have watered these three days,
est it shoutd perish with thirst; then it
steps to the tree we sit under, and thence
0 the ridges of the roof. From the ridge
\o the chimney; and from the chimney to
:he tali elm: from the eltn to the tall
shurch spire, and then to the cloud, and
then to the threshold of heaven; and thus,
from round to crimson round, you can see
it go as though it walked up red roses.—
