istttisfl 3M* jowmal March 14, 1871 rials of the country, wil! never cease to have new points in it for ventilation. Almost every day something new is dis covered, and in this age of progress, when it is important for every man to know, the shortest and best way to do every kecp up with the times, on the fruit sub ject. If be is a farmer or a gardener, he fl,. value of fruit, who have during their lives promised, year after year, to give this subject more time and attention, but when the time comes, each year is bnt not properly prepared, it is too wet, or it is too dry ; the weather is too cold; the trees are "not at hand; and bo on, the reasons are heaped up one on the other, which results in no orchards and no fruits. There are soveral points iv setting out an apple orchard which must be duly con sidered if good fruit in abuudance is ex pected. The first thing is the kiuds of fruit. Due regard* should be paid to the eating, the cooking, the drying, the cider and the keeping qualities of the apple. Then the adaptation of the sorts which may be preferred, to the latitude and soil. | Then a proper preparation of the soil, and I the way the trees should be set out, is vory important. Next in turn, is the impor tance of preserving the tap-roots. Some persons say this root is of no use; and some go so far as to say that it does more harm than good. These philosophers are in error, aud before the subject is com pleted, our readers will see they are. The next important point to be considered is the way the trees should bo trimmed in the nursery, before they are lifted for sale. There is a difficulty in the way here to contend with. We expect to show that fruit trees ol" all kinds, but particularly apples, should have their lower limbs as near the ground as possible. Tbe difficul ty referred to, is prejudice. People have so long seen trees trimmed up from the j ground, higher thau a man's head, that an | orchard with its lower limbs almost touch ing the ground would present a very unin viting appearance ; bnt for all that, it is J the true form for tbe fruit tree. This will ! be shown also before the subject is conclu ded. The laud for an orchard should be thoroughly plowed, sub-Boiled and harrow ed ; it should bo nude rich, with a view to growing grass, in addition to the fruit trees. Mixed manure, that is, the manure from farm animals of all kinds, wilh which muck should be mixed ; but a specific manure for the tree directly, is that taken from the hog-pen. About a, bushel an nuajly of this, when tho tree is two years old, to each tree spread around, though not touching it. Planting the trees right is tbe most im portant part of the work in setting out an orchard, that is, if one part could be more important than another. Thoy should be foity feet apart, if the grass crop is a mat ter of consideration ; but if the fruit only If desired, twenty-five or even twenty feet j is an abundance. The holes Bhould be 1 dug for a tree two or three years old— and none should be older when set out— about eighteen or twenty inches in diame ter, assuming that the grouud has been sub-soiled, the earth in the bottom of the | hole should be enriched with any well rot ted vegetable manure mixed with a small quantity of bone dust. The troo should be set about as deep as it was in the nursery. The earth, or rather the rich soil, should be piled up aud packed tightly around the tree, about two inches above the level. Ii dirt, after tbe tree has grown a year, tho roots have taken firm hold, must craped off down to the top of the first zontal roots. These horizontal roots, llowed to be deep, will prevent the from bearing well, and, what is more, tree, as natural, will throw out other s near tho surface, which causea the ruction of the tap-root; and the short of the tree is the consequence. Plant posts around each tree, aud tying the i to them, is not the best way to pre • | t the injury which trees receive from h winds loosening them in the ground. It is better, in addition, to packing tbe earth as just stated, to cut out .of a piece of plank, two feet long and half as wide, | a yoke or collar large enough to pass three-fourths round the body of the tree, j at the burface, then lay another piece of plank by its side, when stones, bill*ts of j wood, or weight of any kind should be placed upon them. Nature, upon thin principle, holds the tree firmly io the ground, and we surely are pursuing the right course when we obey her dictates. Of course, these planks and weights are to be removed, when the earth, referred to above, is scraped off. Just here it would be well to mention two little things, which if not attended to in time, may result in First, in selooting tho trees, be careful they are not bi-forked, for trees formed thus, will sooner or later split and one half of the tree come down, or if this does not take place, the tree is so damaged by the wind when heavily "laden with fruit and leaves, its value is materially impaired. Secondly, water sprouts are death to fruit trees of all kinds ; but particularly to the I apple. They should be removed, which can be done with the thumb aud fore finger ia their incipency; they are generally found on the body of the tree, most fre quently near the ground. They are not often Been on the limb of a very young tree, but if not attended 10, the tree will certainly be iksiroyed by them. It is a known fact and can be phil osophically explained, that the limbs near- I est the ground bear the best fruit, aud more abundantly than those at the top of lower limbs, but this is owing to causes which must suggest themselves to ovcry | observing person j of courso, the lower imbs are subject to depredations of every sort, both from man and beast. In ad dition to this, an apple falling from the top will, in its passage to the ground, knock off a half dozen others; and the higher the tree, the greater the loss ; so, the more a tree is trimmed down the better it is. Limbs, with a view to this sort of destruction, should be arranged by tho trimmer so as to prevent it. Tbo fact that the lower limbs always bear more than the upper harmonizes with our own experience. We can remember trees and have one in our eye at present, which bears more apples on one limb very near the ground than the remainder of the tree does. i The only objection which can be raised to this system, is that the crops of grass is not so large, or accessible, as it would be under more olevated limbs. Cultivating orchards in crops of various kinds is prac ticed by some farmers of great experience, while others differ from them on this subject. We have never been able to see the advan- | tage of cultivating an apple orchard in \ anything but grass. It is impossible to use a plow in an orchard without detri- J i ment to the trees. Even if the plow is | J pressed out of the ground before it comes near the tree and no damage is done the roots, Btill the traces and swingle-trees are apt to bark the tree, besides other things which may occur prejudicial to them. Old apple trees are sometimes neglected and given up as useless, which by proper pre caution and judicious attention would boar profitably. The roots of an old tree become hard, and do not absorb and appropriate nutri ments as rapidly as younger ones. When j tho body ceases to g*ow, the roots do also ; and when this is the case, if the ground ! about the tree is cultivated, the winds act- j ing on the top of the tree are apt to loosen | 1 the roots in the earth, and when this is the | case with an old tree, the roots do not re attach themselves to the earth as they do whon younger; and here the question con cerning the value of the tap-root arises, for settlement as we promised. The tap roots, unquestionably, does more towards keeping the troe firm in the ground and erect than all the others combined. One | strong proof of this is, that trees which | are remarkable for the length of their lap roots are never uplifted by storms. The black walnut, for instance, has often been broken off above the ground, but the roots are never moved. The tap-root fills an other office, quite as valuable as this. It! is an equalizer to a great extent, by capil lary attraction of the temperature of the Sudden freezing on the surface is lessened to a great extent by this agent. Moisture during a drought is distributed iv the same way, and excessive rains are carried off by the same agency. Now, if there is no tap-root, the winds and storms will cause | the other roots to be moved in the earth, and when this is the case, it does not re- I quire much credulity to believe this tree will decline. Then, if an equilibrium of temperature is induced, and at the same time moisture and the excess of it are both regulated by this root, its value must be immeasurably great. i I —i The Chesapeake and Ohio l.lnr. The Western States are waking up on tbe subject of their connections with tbe i Virginia tide through the Chesapeake and Ohio route. We see by the.Louisville Daily Ledger that the people of that city I are becoming deeply interested in tho line I via Lexingtou, to tho mouth of the Big Sandy, where a junction is to be made with the Chesapeake aud Ohio road. The Ledger states that the couuties along the line in Kentucky are subscribing liberally I to its construction, and it thinks Louisville will subscribe near a million to tho im portant work. The route from Louisville by Lexington to the Big Sandy deviates but slightly I from a right line. The road-bed is made for a part of the route, only seventy miles remaining untouched ; and the Ledger ex presses its firm conviction that the whole line will be finished in time to join the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad as soon as it is completed from the Virginia tide to tbe Big Sandy. Louisville will then be upon a principal I route to the great Southern Pacific rail road, as well as in the line from the Vir ginia tide to St. Louis and the far West. The people of Louisville cannot over estimate the importance of this enterprise; and if they do not take hold of it at once, and push it through, they will show a strange neglect of their most important interests. On the north side of tho Ohio there is a lively interest exhibited on the subject of our great middle line of railway, and we look forward to the early construction of a direct line from the terminus of tbo Chesapeake and Ohio road to Cincinnati. In two years we may look to see the most favorable exteusion of the Chesapeake and Ohio road through the Western and North-western States. The sagacious K resident of tho Chesapeake and Ohio (Mr. Huntington) has given his particular atten tion to theso extensions, and has taken measures to expedite their completion as much as possible. In two years, then, Itichmond will have as favorable com munications with the West as Baltimore, and all that she will then need to (insure her rapid growth aud prosperity will be that her citizens shall have the enterprise and sagacity to make tbe best use of these advantages.— Dispatch.
