Plantlncr out tfrult Trees.
Tho fall season, until or lute, was not
favorable to putting out treee, an wo
kftvo had bo much rain that tho ground
has boon too wot to work. At this time,
when w much attention is pnid to plant
ing orchards with a viow to raising
drying frultfl, prunes, etc. it is dcsirablo
to havo tho exporionco of good orchard"
Ifitfl with regard to planting out and
cultivating trees, aud wo Invito atten
tion to that subject as ono of great im
portance Wo can tako tho following
facts as well established: (ho Idea of
digging dcop holes has become obsolete;
tho host orchards are whoro tho ground
has boon plowed deep ami tho trees sol
no deeper (hun they emtio from (ho
nursery, and as good a nurseryman as
Both Iitielling (oils in that ho would us
lief sot a tree on (ho (.'round and throw
dirt around it as to dig any hole at all.
Mr. W. H. Hlinpson, who had a farm
In Iho Waldo ililN twenty years ngo,
informs us (lint lie (lion sot out an apple
orotund by back furrowing ground and
fottlng trees on (balrldge. Jlohcrapcd
away (ho dirt thrown up by tho plow
and placed (ho trcu on (ho sod ridgo
thai remained iiuerdneath throwing
up tfrl around tho tree, and of con no
plowing to wares tho treo. This orchard
is yol thriving, and most of Iho trees
living. It has been moro successful
than oiehards set In holes and planted
donp. If this course succoeded in hill
land, c( rlaiuly it shows that deep plant
ing aud too much cultivation aro use
less. Tho true Idea seems to bo, to plant
out, not too deep, not quite so deep in
fact, us tho trees stood in tho nursery,
and each year plow and harrow In tho
spring, and in Juno and July run twlco
through with a cultivator and then har
row well, aud if tho ground can bo
rolled after each working and harrow
ing, all tho butter, to retain tho moist
ure. Tho trees should bo hoed around,
to koop tho ground llnuly pulverised,
and no doubt such cultivation, not to
contlnuo aficr tho (lrst of August, will
Insure rapid and vigorous growth
through tho propor growing boason,
and give tho wood time to thoroughly
ripen boforo winter which, After a
tow years of such cultivation, say four
years at most, tho orchard can bo heed
ed down to clover, tho tiocs mulched
and thou left alono. Every throe or
four years tho clover can ho turned
over mid will enrich tho ground, and
keep tip (ho growth and bearing capac
ity of your trees. Hhcep, goals, horses
aud cattle havo littlo business in any
orchard, (.louts aro destructive and
cattle tho same, sheep will browse on
tho bending limbs, and an orchard
properly cultivated and trimmed, when
loaded with fruit should havo limbs
near tho ground. Horses are loss trou
ble than any of tho anlmuls enumerat
ed, but wo havo fouud that oven tho
horso will biowsooir tho young growth
of wood and do great damage.
It Is a great help to an orchard to
koop turkeys and chickens running in
it, for they will make great part of
their living on tho clover aud destroy
nil tho vermin, insects, Ac. lliat aro mi
destructive to fruit culture. Even tho
curcullo, buck East, Htuiuls littlo show
to live aud prosper, when turkeys and
chickens havo their run. Swine, too, I
aro calculated to thrive on clover and '
todchtroy troublesome iiiMH'ts as well. I
grafted on plum roots, and 200 trees of
I'olKo Prunod' Agen on peich roots,
purchased of Mr. P. F. Bradford. All
received tho same cultivation, and our
experience goes to show that plums
and prunes grafted on tho peach all
llvo and make good growth not a sin
glo ono dying, and wo aro sorry wo
cannot say as much for tho others.
This year wo take all varieties wo need
of plum and pruno with peach stockp,
and wo believe It Is tho safest method.
Tho poach root Is healthy and long liv
ed and thoso who havo tried them for
years past bear out our belief that thoy
make healthy, longllvedand good bear
ing trees. Wo notlco that nurserymen
aro generally proparedjto suit tholrjcus
tomcrs with either. Mr. Henry Den
linger Informs us of a fact that ho bears
witness to in tho cataloguo of II. W.
Prottymnn's Railroad Nurseries, at
East Portland, that ho procured over
3000 plum and pruno trees, of Mr. Pret
tyman, that had boon grafted on tho
peach, and that with scarco an excep
tion thoy all lived and made vigorous
growth. Wo know that such is our
own oxperlenco and wo glvo our read
ers tho boneflt of it, and wo prcsumo
every nurseryman has discovered that
plum and pruno grafts on peach stock
aro saleable.

Shearing Sheep in tho Fall.
Ed. Fahmkm: I wiw an article In
your paper of Nov. Slid, taken from Iho
Mottnfn iiircr, with regard (o shearing
Hhcep twico 11 year, from which I beg
to differ entirely. As I have bad con
siderable experlenco In tho sheep bus
I n osv, ami with yniir permission, r will
make 11 few remarks on that nil loot.
In the (lrst place, I would Miy thai tho
kind of wool that is most in demand,
Is combing or long wool, huch as Mr.
Wilklusol Lane county, and Mr. In
gram, of Linn county, aud several nth
er enterprising sheep farmers over (ho
country, produce. Now I say ns sheep
farmers all know, (hat If they shear
tho sheep twice a year it is Impossible
to produce that sort of wool, and like
wise, thooftonor (ho sheep Isshoiircd
Iho coarsor tho wool gets, and ns far ns
curing tlio scab is concerned, my expo
nonce nas proven to mo unit it is mucii
easier curing thorn of that disease,
when tho llecco is long, than when
shoit, and it Is a great deal easier to do
it In tho winter than in tho mi mm or.
becuuso when tho ficcco is long and tho
weather cool Hallows tho ingredient to
remain so much longer at the skin.
and thereby irlvcs It a bettor ehanco to
destroy parasites than it does in tho
summer season when tho llocco is
short and tho weather is hot. Tlmo
will not allow mo to writo moro on tho
subject Just now, but I will do so by
anil by. A. A.
Cluekamas, Doc. 1, 1877.
Our correspondent Is no doubt correct
113 to tho ill .policy of shearing sheep
in tho full, in Oregon, hut Mr. II. L.
Uudd, or Peoria, Linn county, a cele
brated brccdor of Colawold sheep, in
forms us tlrt ho makes a pructico of
shearing his lambs in tho fall and (lads
thoy aro bettor for it. Ho says that
when tho owes aro sheared in tho
spring tho ticks leave them and go on
to tho lambs, and In tho winter, being
young and tender, tho lambs suitor so
much from that causn that many of
them die, and fow of them do really
well, whllo If they aro sheared in tho
lull tho ticks leave them, and thoy llvo
and thrlvo through tho winter far hot
ter than thoy would carrying full llcecea
and a full supply of ticks, besides
which ho gains about two pounds of
wool from each ono by tho operation.
