Circumstances alone determine whether it is or is not adviseable and desirable to plow old orcliards of the apple and pear, an no fixed rule can be given which wdl afford uniformily satisfactory results. The nature and quality of the soil, as well as the location of the orchard, has much to do in determining the ques tion, while the kind of sod, the length of time it-lias remained unturned, aud the way the trees have been handled are important points to consider. Some years ago the writer pur chased a farm, on which there was an old apple orchard of some sixty large trees, many of which were ap parently beyond the period of use fulness. The orchard had been left in grass for some eight or ten years, the hay having been taken off as long as it paid to cut it and nothing put on to replace the amount of fertiliz ing matter thus mooved annually. As soon as I took possession of the farm, I trimmed the trees severely, scraped off all the loose bark on the trunks and treated these coats to a coat of diluted soft soap, applied with a whitawash brush. This was doce early in the Spring, and as soon as the ground was fit for plowing I had the orchard plowed thoroughly, grubbing around the trees where the plow could not go. A coat of well-rotted manure was then spread on, and the land thor oughly harrowed. The first season, ordinary field corn was planted, -and a very lair crop obtained, consider ing the shade. The apple crop, this year, was a very good on, and said to be the best one the orchard had borne for several years. The second year vegetables hoed crops were put in with a liberal amount'of well rolted manure, and the result was not only a good crop of vegetables, but an unusually large yield of ap ples on most of the trees. I culti vated the orchard for three success ive years, then seeded to clover and clover alone, keeping this in two years and then again resorting to a three years' course of cultivation. I have seen th's plan successfully tried with numerous orchards since, and do not know of a single failure. An old apple orchard is a capital place for a pig run or enclosure, and especially so where the sod is veteran and tough, for the pigs, in search of roots, will soon turn up the stubborn sod, and ere long, convert the entire orchard into a broken field. This method of treating an old orchard, preparatory to plowing it properly the following season for a crop, has some ad vant ages, prominent amongst which is that a good coat of manure is put on the ground by the pigs, during the season materially adds to the fruitfulness of the tree. Such manure, from corn fed porkers, is equally as good as stable manure. D. Z. Evans, Jr., in Farmers Magazine. Eee Culture. B. F. Carroll writes the Texas Far mer as follows: My big colony is still making some honey, and I may reach 8C0 lbs. before the close of the fall harvest. This and next month are the most critical with bee keepers, on account of moth. They have attacked- the black bees around ms and are doing much damage. I have not seen one in tny 110 hives yet; in fact the Ital ians, Syrians and Cyprians are very near moth proof. Well 1 guess you would like to know my plan of de stroying the moth in box hives. Perhaps this may be hard to do, but it can be done very effectually by drumming out all the bees in a small box a la transferring, and set old hive over a brimstone match and thoroughly fumigate .it. After tak ing off. the brimstone pit, let it air about two months and return your bees; clear the bottom of hive and use plenty wood ashes and fine salt) this will assist to keep away the moth as the alkali will destroy not only the egg of the moth, but will destroy the larvae also and will keep away ants; but, friends, with a good movable comb hive in reach of every one, that without having to pay a nickle for a patent right to use (and if a man comes around wanting to tell you a patent hive, set your dog on him) the old Langstroth, Root - Simplicity, and the Van Dusen Nellis simplicity hives are of the old stand ard Langstroth, fame and are easily and cheaply made, especially the latter; you need not fear the moths, for you have perfect control over your bees, as mnch so as you would over a pen of pigs. In cutting out honey from box hives use plenty of corn meal to soak up the leaking honey and wood ashes on the floor and this will greatly lessen the rav ages of that terrible pest to apicul ture. A Case of Petrifaction. Record-TTni67i says: C. Clinch twenty-one years ago buried at Fol som a child that died at the age of 3 years. The little girl's body was placed in a coffin that was inclosed in zinc and hermetically sealed, and that in turn placed in the ordinary wooden grave box. The grave was dug in high and very dry ground. Yesterday Mrs. Clinch and her daughter went to Folsom to disinter the body and bring it to Sacramento to be placed in the family cemetry lot here. They expected to find on ly a few bones, and took with them a proper box in which to place them. Their surprise can be imagined when they found that the coffin, from which the grave box had rotted away, was exceedingly heavy at least three or four times as heavy as when placed in tf.e grave, One small hole had rusted through the zinc. The metal was cut and the coffin opened, and the body found to be completely petrified. The child lay before the mother as natural in form and feature as when she con signed it to the grave twenty-one years ago. The features were per fect and the face, arms and hands of alabaster whiteness. After exposure to the air a 6hort time this perfect whiteness changed to a light yel lowish or tint with a shade of brown. The body was solid stone and to the blow of metal gave response as would marble. Tue clothing was petrified likewise, and the boquet of flowers upon the child's bosom, and a little doll that had been placed in the hollow of one arm was also turned to stone, as was the hair also, and indeed everything in the coffin and about the body. Large numbers of people viewed the body at Folsom, and the unanimous judgment was that a more perfect specimen of pet rifaction they had never seen. Save the Oood Brood Bows. Corn is high, pork is high. It costs much more to winter a full grown sow than it does a spring pig. The old sow, if she has reared a litter of pigs, probably is not so at tractive looking as are the best of her sow pigs. All these things may tempt one to fatten the sow and keep one of the pigs for breeding purposes To all contemplating this course we feel like giving Punch's celebrated advise to those contemplating matri mony. This was summed up in the one word, "don't." As a rule with few exceptions a matured sow will rear more, stronger and better pigs than will an unma tured one. In case a sow shall have proved herself undesirable, there is no question that she should be slaughtered; but if her past perfor mance has been satisfactory, the fact that she is two years old is not a sufficient reason for sending her to the butcher. Some of the best brood sows A'e have known have been in active service until they were half a dozen years old in some cases even longer. Persistence in the custom of breed ing from young and immature pa rents can hardly fail to tend to weaken the constitutions of the stock. It may tend to further develop ear ly maturity, but this may be gaiped at too great a cost. lireeclers Gazette. Facts About Sheep. The sheep is to be considered' as a producer of wool and meat. On the plains of the far off South and West, where there are no markets for mut ton, wool of the hardy Merino will be most profitable to the producer. In the densely populated States, and in all places within easy reach of great markets, mutton will be the leading consideration. The people of our cities are fast learning to like good mutton, and sheep having a dash of Coiswold or Southdown blood upon a Merino basis, make very desirable food when properly prepared for market. Early lambs are in great demand, and grade wool from such sheep is called for by our manufacturers. The low prices of wool are fast driving all the owners of high-priced land out of its pro duction, but mutton may profitably be raised in connection with wool and certain other branches of farm ing as has been shown in England and other countries. Some very val uable flocks of Merinos are still pre served with sreat care by breeders in the Eastern States, to supply rams and some ewes to improve the great flocks of the. far off and low-priced lands of the new States. It would bedifficul and very expensive work to form large floeks of pure-blooded mutton sheep. But rams can be readily purchased which, crossed upj on common, or, better still, upon trade ewes, will soon produce valu able sheep, belter suited to the tastes of our people than the flesh of the large breeds of sheep so much approved by the English strong stomached laborer. Our people have not learned how to use with profit or pleasure the two or more inches of thick fat that often covers the ribs of thoroughbred Leicester or Cots wold well fatted wethers. Our peo ple like the smaller Southdown bet ter, bat he does not, when pure in breeding, give a satisfactory fleece of wool, and his tendency to put on fat will bear toning down by a cross of Merino blood that will help his fleece. I know that the idea of suc cessfully mingling and combining the good qualities of such breeds as Merino, Cotswold and Southdown is not believed in by many high au thorities. But when as great skill and as many years have been given to this object as Bakewell and Ham mond have to their work, I confi dently believe that a new family of sheep will be produced, having more real value than any now known for the temperate and genial climates found along and each side the forty second degree of latitude, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Rocky Moun tains. The trial is now going on,ou our own farms. A flock of Merino ewes were bred to a Cotswold ram. To the ewe Iambs we propose to put South Down rams, and from this last cross select such as appear to combine the desired qualities. The future must decide how the stock should be managed after the first mingling of these three breeds. It must be admitted that material for a most valuable breed will be in the flock, and the only question as to the practicability of preserving and combining their desirable qualities in proper proportions. If a tendency to revert to any of the three original breed appears too decidedly, it will be easy to make a new cross from one or both of the others to correct the tendency. New York Tribune. o call him there but his own inclina tion to shnn work and mingle with indolent or vicious companions, he is laying the foundation for a career of worthlessness and viciousness, that may subject him through life to com ments like that in which the plain spoken farmer indulged concerning the several worthless ons of his un happy country man. Let young farmers improve their time in patient industry at home instead of idling it away at places of resort. Let them shun the inebriating draught on all occasions, and lay in youth the foun dation for a substantial character that will insure them '.he respect and esteem of their acquaintances every where, and success in the business of life, whether it be that of farming or something else. Laying a Foundation- "Pride of ancestry is a good thing. A young man has a right to be proud of a noble father, but the dan ger is that he generally leans on him too strong and don't do anything for himself." So says the Elmyra Hus bandman. This was gruffly illus trated in the comment of a sturdy old farmer upon the sons of one of his acquaintances. It occurred on a local railway train passing through a fine region of country. One of the passengers was making a spectacle of himself after too free a use of liquor in the town he had been visiting. In response to an inquiry as to who the intoxicated one was. The old farmer answered. "He is old John Blank's son. He has six boys, that is the only one of them worth a con tinental cent, and he is not worth more than half a cent." Thi- re mark may be truthfully applied to many a man of worthy ancestry to many a noble farmer's son, and the sons of many professional or mer chant men in the towns and large cities. When theyoung farmer takes more pleasure in visiting the towns, the railway stations, or the country store, where strong drink is to be bad, at times when there is nothing Shorthorns for Dairy. For many years the breeders of shorthorn cattle have devoted their entire energies to the breeding of animals, matchless in form and symmetry of proportions, and the result produced a class of animala well nigh approaching perfection in the points aimed to be attained. This high state of excellence has been attained at the utter sacrifice of dairy qualities which have been entirely ignored. In the earlier years of thi industry this was an item of far less importance in a business point of view than at present. At that timet there was a broad field for the com paratively few breeders, aud which taxed their energies to the utmost, to meet the demand for stock from those who were entering into the business professionally. Of late years, however, a diffsrent class of purchasers has sprung upr those who have gone to work to im prove the native stock of the country, and who have a laudable ambition to place a higher class of animals in the markets than the common "na tives." The dairy also has become a fix ture in almost every township in the state, but an uncertain tenture in only isolated places. The dairy in terest has become to be lightly re garded as the mucleus of the stock, growing business in a general way until the present time there is ne class of cattle in the land suitable for dairy purposes, but they must be gathered up promiscuously from the "scrub" stock which the country affords with a great amount of un certainty usually attending the pur chase of each animal, as to whether she vv-HI prove of any great value in the dairy. It is a well established fact that among Shorthorns there is so often a strain of blood which is certain to develop good milkers, but usually this tendency has developed in ani mals of "plain breeding," and as pro fessional breeders have been work ing in an entirely different field, bat minor importance has been attached to this quality, and but little or ne pains taken to breed a lino of milk ers that could be relied on to a cer tainity, and at the same time their progeny be what the ambitious stock grower would desire to rear for market purposes. The fact that the lordly Shorthorn stand without a peer as a beef pro ducing slock stands well founded. The further fact that among them, there is an occasional fine milker, is equally well founded, as well as the additional fact that no well directed efforts are known to have been made, to "fix" this milk producing quality as an established trait that will be transmitted to the oft-spring with the same unerring certainty that the beautiful outline of form and majestic size ar held and improved upon from one generation to another, where care is taken in the breeding. The dairy is a fixed industry inth northern prairie states, and its im portance is each succeeding year se curing a better recognition in almost every prosperous community. Al ready the demand for what may be technically termed "dairy cows,' whose progeny shall be such as to fill the demand for beef stock, is the most urgent one existing among ad vanced agriculturists. The attain ment of this desired result can only be reached by an earnest endeavor on the part of breeders in that di rection, and must be slow to appear. To the writer this seems to be the mos desirable field now ready for the breeders to occupy. When Short horn breeders shall take the same pride in the performances of their favorites at the milking pail as the breeders of Jerseys and Holsteine now do, and work as hard to reach such results, but little doubt exista that their labor will be crowned with the production of the large, well developed dairy cow, whose offsprings will oe equally famous for lifting the beam at a heavy weight when matuied for the market.
