.AGRICULTURAL.
Causes cf ilic Failnrc of , Young
Orcliarda. :
In traveling aboat the country, one can
hardly fail of teing struck with the pau
city "of ycung- orchards' in a. flouriihinjr
condition. ' The traveler sees, now and
then a small unclosure set out to apple
tree's, which in a great majority of cases
exhibit anything but a healthy .appear
ance. Those that , are' already dead
maintain but a feeUe existence ; but of
ten the trees are either... dry sticks," With
a lot of ; little sprouts growing up' from
their roots, or miserable sickly looking
things with now and then a tuft of leaves
on their limbs. To what shall we attrib
ute the cause of this state of things?
Why is it that there are so few thrifty
young orchards ? Iu reply to these ques
tions we answer :
1. The failure is more frequently from
having the work improperly dene. Of
ten from the ground cot being properly
prepared, or being cf an improper char
acter. It is useless to attempt to grow
fruit trees in grass land without any sort
of cultivation, as many men do, not even
mulching or hoeing around the trunks.
That trees fail to flourish when thus used
is not to be wondered at.
Others select ground in which the wa
ter line is very near the surface, and
take no measures to remove the water
from the over-charged soil that renders
it cold and sour, and thus having no dep'h
of root, the leaves turn yellow, they lin
ger awhile then die fairly drowned 'cut.
Others adopt the other extreme and p!;mt
on a dry gravelly . knoll where the soil
has nCAer been stirred more than three
crfcur inches deep, without any kind of
mulch, and if a dry season ensues, their
trees dry up and perith ; er if the two or
three first seasons prove favorable, and
their . trees live, they make but slow
growth, are ax long while coming into
bearing, and never produced much.
Others fail from improper setting.
Ei'her from not understanding their work
or-fer want of time and a "make-do-sys-rem"
of driving things, they dig a little
hole in the unprepared soil grass ground
perhaps thrust in the tree with its roots
twisted or doubled up, throw cn the clods,
stamp down the earth upon the roots, and
bid it live ond flourish. Men who treat
their own trees in this way, cught not
to expect their trees to lir. To merely
maintain existence is all lhat the most
vigorous' tree could do um'er such treat
ment, and1 if it dots this, it does well,
without ever producing an apple. '
2. Another cause of failure is the con
dition of the trees when taken from the
nursery. .The soil is exclusively, rich,
with forcing manures, in order to grow
straight "smooth trees; and in order to
hurry them into market. What is the
result ? The impetus given to the scion,
after being engrafted forces it to the
height of four or five feet the first year.
The over-grown scion has a large pith
and in the end becomes a rotten-hearted,
diseased tree. None of the difficulties
are ever encountered in 'growing seed
ling trees, that attach to nursery-grafted
trees. It is7 seldom that a seedling tree
left to itself fails cf maturing. No mat
ter how bad the usage it may receive it
will still persist in living, if in no other
way, in a mat of dwarfed and thorny
shrubs. Why this dmerence ? It is be
cause the seedling grows more slowly,
consequently is more hardy, healthy, en
suring and sound. Hence this fact af
fords a suggestion that maybe turned to
Cood practical account, which is grow
seedling trees, and leave the grafting
for an after; consideration. Tl is seems
to us to be the safest way. JNew Vorly

Textile Plants.
In the days of Christ very little cotton
was grown, and Flax and Wool made up
the sum total of human clothing. At this
time cotton fabrics are far more exten
sively used than linen. Whether the for
mer is of more real value is very doubt
ful. If there was as much money inves
ted in the growing of flax , in the United
States, as there is in the culture of cot
ton, it would doubtless modify very much
the apparent value of the two textiles.
But thero is another item of import
ance to the Great West, which we shall
do well to consider. The cultivation of
substitute for cotton, 1 in the wheat and
corn growing States of the North will
tend to increase the price of the cereals,
by reducing the tmount produced.' Cot
ton wool is stronger than lint, but the lat
ter is the stronger of the two. Cotton
mixes more easily with wool, but if lint
may be cut and carded, so as to mix as
well, t would, most likely, produce a
more desirable cloth, affording to fine
wools a stronger body.
In Russia, it is said, they have lately
brought forward a new lint producing veg
etable, called the silk plant. It is said to
be very soft, and quite strong. This
should be introduced immediately into tne
Corn' crrowing States, and thoroughly tried
and our Agricultural Societies should en
deavor to direct public attention to the im
portance of producing more of those ma
terials which we import, as the best means
by which to obtain remunerative prices
for the aggregate of farm products. If
the Mississippi Valley grew it own ttooI
and 'linen, as it does . its own cotton ond
susnr, the empire of weal th would be rap
idly transferred to ths west.

From the Prairie Farmer.
Pall Planting of Fruit Trees.
We propose to bring forward some cf
the opinions which have been given in
favor of and against Fall Planting, by
some of the best orchardists and horti
culturists in the West.
At the annual meeting of the Wiscon
sin Fruit Growers, held at Whitewater
last winter, Mr. Conger said he could see
no reason why they should not plant in
the Fall ia Wisconsin as well as in Ill
inois and New York. "True, trees in
the nursery do not always ripen their
wood eariy enough to admit of it; and
this is the reason so many of our impor
ted trees from the East, fail; but this ob
jection may be overcome.
A. G. Hanford says, roots will heal
and forrrrwithout leaves, even if simply
heeled in has seen it repeatedly know
an instance in which fifty trees were fro
zen up solid in the earth the day after
planting all lived and flourished except
one or two. Fall planting, however, he
thought, should be early, and care should
be taken to bring earth in contact with
the roots etc., as in Spring. . Just before
winter sets in, would raise a mound of
fifteen inches about the stem, and mulch
the roots with coarse manure or litter;
J. C. Plumb would plant in September
or early iu October, and have no trouble ;
must give the roots a chance to heal.
Mulching is impoitant as a preventive of
evaporation of vital sap, by dry freezing
winter weather. If we plant in Spring,
trees should be taken up before the sap
starts and may then be planted at leisure.
The 'nvell-doing" 33 more important than
size or age. wnai we want is tne roots
would. cut back some in - all Cases,' is usu
aLv t !.;? -3 f.-urths cf the t;r..'

D. F. Kinney, of Rock Island says
"I have had good success in planing late
in November, and the best in December.
Dr. J. Kennicott, regards October the
safest Autumn month for transplanting
all hardy trees except stone fruits and
evergreens, neither of which, he says,
should be planted in Autuan, unless with
an unbroken ball attached to their roots.
With that you may transplant what you
will and when you will with most gratify
ing success. But the Doctor does not
recommet.d planting deciduous trees in
the Autumn with the leaves on, nor be
fore the wood had matured or been
checked in growth by frosts. The Die
ter urges that in early autumn planting,
water should be given to the roots, if the
soil be dry, the same as you would in
April or May, because vitality and es
pecialiy transpiration is still slightly ac
tive in October.
Ladles Carrying the Crops
The following originated, it is said
with the Terre Haute Express. It is ap
plied to ladies of the editor's locality,
but its homely -figures have point and ap
plication in every neighborhood.
Here is lady No. 1, with ten acres of
wheat gracefully thrown around her per
son twelve bushels to the acre. Ten
times twelve are one hundred and twen

Lady No 2. lightly trips along under
four tons of hay, worth seven dollars per
ton 28. She stands erect, as stiffly as
Norwegian women every day with a loard
of kindling wood on their heads.
Lady No. 3, sweeps the path and cir
cumjacent dog-fennel with a train which
exhibits two yoke of steers at S35 $70.
Lady No 4, is enrolled in twenty acres
of corn, forty bushels to the acre, worth
thirty cents per bushel ; S2-10.
Lady No. 5 has a mule colt suspended
from each tar, at $15 $30.
Drinking Impure Water.
y a a a
bet a pitcher or iced water in a room,
inhabited, and in a few hours it will have
absorbed from the room nearly all the
respired and perspired rjasses cf the
room, the air of which will have become
purer, but the water utterly filthy. Thi
depends on the fact that water has the
faculty of condensing and thereby ab
solving nearly all the gases, which it does
without increasing its own bulk. The
colder the water is, the arreater is its
capacity to contain these gases. At ordi
nary temperatures a pin.t of water will
contain a pint of carbonic acid gas, and
several pints of ammonia. This capaci
ty is nearly doubled by reducing the
temperature to that of ice. Hence wa
ter kept in the room for awhile, is always
unfit for use, and should be often renew
ed whether it has become warm or not
And tor the same reason the water in a
pump stalk should be all pumped out in
the morning before any is used. That
which has stood in the pitcher over night
is not fit for coffee water in the morning.
Impure water is more injurious to health
than impure air, and every persan should
provide the means of obtaining fresh pure
air, and every person should provide the
the means of obtaining fresh pure water.

Treatment for the Bite of a Dog.
Dr. Stephen Ware, cf Boston, in his
testimony in a recent case which grew
out of injuries from the bite of a dog,
furnished the following Valuable advice :
In the case of the bite by a dog where
the teeth of the animal penetrate into
the flesh, whether the dog was known to
be mad or not, he should use the same
precautions, viz: He would wash the
wound with warm water, extract all the
virus possible, by sucking the wound with
his lips, and then cauterize it deeply
with the caustic most readily obtained,
but should use potash if it could be pro
cured at once. The time in which the
effects of the bite of a rabid dog would
be seen, varied from two to three days to
as many years ; but if no effects were felt
after two or three months, as a general
thing, the patient might feel himself safe.
Bites made through clothing are seldom
productive of much harm, as, even when
the dog is mad, the clothing absorbs the j
virus, before the teeth reach the fieh.

Tomato Chowder.
Take green tomatoes, cut a small piece
off the the stem end, and aho from the
other side; thtnlay them in a pan.
Sprinkle with salt, pour boiling water on
them, and let them stand ten minutes.
Chop them up fine, putting in some cab
bage, horse radish, and peppers; and
vinegar on, and they are ready to pack in
crocks. They make an, excellent dish to
serve with meat. Try it.
The Patent OfEce is in receipt of a

, Drilling Wheat
An argument in favor of drilling in
wheat, would seem to be out cf place,
at this time, since every where we go
farmers are forward to tell us, This year
hasf AW satisfied me that, drilling wheat
is the only sure way to ol t.iiu a good crop
There seems to be nobody in doubt ypen
the subject as many were before. This
season has left a general impression on
the minds of farmers that drilled wheat
has averaged five bushels of wheat to
the acre more than theundrilled through
out the entire State. The result is that
the demand for drills at this time is more
than double that of any previous season
Messrs. Lawrence Davis & Co., of Dub
lin Indiana, who manufacture Moores
Wheat Drills, tell us that their stock was
exhausted more than a month ago, and
that but for the fact that thev had several
hundred machines, ready to be put to
gether with great rapidity, they would
have been utterly unable to supply the
demand. Indiana Farmer.

Talking and Writing.
A man never knows what he has read
until he has talked about it or written
about it. Talking and writing are di?
gestive processes which are absolutely
essential to the mental constitution cf
the man who devours many books. But
it is not every man that can talk. Talk-,
ing implies first of all a readiness on the
part cf the speaker", ana' next a'sympav
thetic listener. It is therefore a diges
tive process the most difficult, if it is the'
most rapid Tn its operation. Writing 13
altogether a different affair a' man may
take his own time to it, and not require
a reader he can be his own reader. It
is an easier, although formal prcces3 cf
digestion than talking. It is in every
body's power and everybody who reads,
much makes more or less use cf it, .be
cause, as Bacon says, if he does not
write then he buu'ht to have extraordina-
ry faculties to compensate for such neglect
It is in this ?iev that we are io under
stand the complaint of a well known au-"
thor, that he was ignorant of a certain,
subject, and the means by which he wai
to dispel his ignorance namely, by writ
ing on it.
It is in this view that the monitorisV
system of instructicn has its great raW;
to the monitors it is the best , sort ct
teaching. It is from the same point cf
view that Sir William Hamilton used' to
lament the decay of leaching as a partcf

sities. In the olden time it was necessa

What ttc arc Made of.
The following is from the pen cf O.W.
Holmes:
If the reader of this paper lives an
other year, his self conscience principla
will have migrated from his present ten
ement to another, the raw materials even
of which are not yet put together. A
portion of that body of which is to be,
will ripen in the corn of next harvest.
Another portion of his future person, he
will purchase, or others will purchase for
him, headed up in the form of certain tar-..
rels of potatoes nrd other root3. A third
fraction is yet to be gathered in the rice
fields of the South. The limbs wuh wYikb.
he is then to walk will be clad with flesh
borrowed from the tenants of my stalls
and pastures, now unconscious of their
doom. The very organs of speech with
which he is to talk s'o wisely, plead
so eloquently, or speak effectively, must
first serve his humble brethren to bleat,
to bellow, and for all the varied utterance
of bristled or feathered barnyard life.
His bones themselves are, to- a great ex
tent, in posse and not esse. A bag of
phosphate of lime, which he has ordered
from Prof. Mapes, fcr his grounds, con
tains a large part cf vvhat i? to be his
skeleton. And more than all this, and
by far the greater part of his bedy is no
thing at alf but water, the main substance
of his scattered member? is to be looked
for in the reservoir, in the clouds, in the
running streams, ana in me ccucm ci
the well.
Destrojing Fleas.
A writer in the Rural New Yorker
says, some years since, 1 ieit, in the
Spring, a quantity of coarse manure and
straw in my barn-yard. My hogs slept
in the yard under the cow shed.. In the
course of the summer, the fleas became
so numerous that we did net choose to
go there to milk, and yarded our cows
in another place. In the fall, as soon as
my work would permit mc to attend to it
