A JOG IN THE FRUIT GARDEN.
When winicr cornea, it if worth while
to look about n little, and see how you Stand
in (he garden anrl orchard. '
Go into your kitchen garden : if rour oiI
if poor and worn out and full of insects,
this is tho very time of all others j doctor
it, and here is my prescription, which I
have proved over and over, again. Clear
off the plot bf ground tr. .be renovated,
and cover it with a good dressing of frtth
liable manure, with the litter in it. liegin
at one side of tbe plot, and throw tin the
soil into rdges,. .digging it boul, eighteen
tolhfr d4pKP';iBllb .! thro'.
the smUsyou dljTUSi let icwtrm
ttr. the utiuosphere and the frost will
haven good chiince to Ho their bm in
bettering it.o quality of the soil itself; and
the essence of the manure will not only
be all mken up by the soil, but its coarse
ness will bo broken down by the spring, so
that your plot will be in the bfsl possible
oriler for vegetables when the swallow
comes.
If you nrc troubled with grubs and in
sects in the ground, you must also treat it
with a rlose of salt. Scatter nny refuse or
coarse ilienp saji over the earth before you
begin to rule it up, at the rate of a bushel
to the eighth purt of an acre or eight
bushels lo the acre. Put on at this season,
j it will do no harm to anything vegetable,
ami will thoroughly nu you of those en
terprising liule gentry that crawl out of the
ground in May and June and quietly play
( iuy Faux to the roots and stems of the
tcmlcrcst things that the pot boils.
In the review of your forces at ibis sea
son, before they go into winter quarters, it
is ten lo one you will find, staring you in
the face possibly not ten paces from your
door-steps some excellent old friends,
whose acquaintances you begin to be asha
med of and ure sorely tempted to cut at
once. I mean some good old fruit trees,
still very sound and healthy, but utterly
refusing, for years past, to bear any good
fruit !
The soil is probably pitiably run out ;
run out, past the power alone of stable ma
nure to bring it up again. It is run out, as
the chemists say, in " lime and the phos
phates." But it can be renovated, just as
surely as there is manure and lime and the
phosphates to be had ; and you may set
about it now if you please, for this is the
best time in (he world to begin.
ISow to do tliis well and thoroughly wtji
cost from two to three dollars a tree, labor
and all included.
Supposing we commence with a middle
nged pear or apple tree, with a sound con
stitution, which has been sulking for some j
j time past on half pay. Now it is all very
well to say that this tree don't want animal
marirjre. Its roots have been in the same
place for twenty five or thirty years, with
only a little sprinkling ot something stimu
lating over the top of thelfdil, which the
grass indeed has pretty much taken to it
self, or a slight yearly dressing of compost j
(if it .'.as stood in the rrardenV which thn
veiretubles have devoured, ixjok nl its
little, short jointed shoots and unthrifty
short jointed shoots and unthrifty
growth, and you will see that, first of all, i
it wants manure
Very well. Now clear away everything
in the shape of trees, shrubs, bushes, or
vegetables of nil kind that stand within
fifteen feet of the trunk of this tree. Next,
bring a good two horse wagon load of
fresh stable manure, and trench it under as
deeply as the roots will let you, and par
ticularly beyond where the roots extern. It
is as foolish to put manure within fi'
gx feel of tb t k f
. . '
ve or
ould
be to pour drink over the back of a thirsty
mnn. At the trry outside of the roots trench
the soil two feet deep, and mix the manure
with it--leave it rough and loose for the
winter, for it is there at this outside
limit
that
the roots will get a good 1
these that poor soils rrow poor in. It would
not do lo put them in with (he fresh ma
nure, since they would not agree well to
gether, but would go 10 decomposing one
another, instead of making a succession of
good dunarj for the feeders'1 thai u to
say, the little fibres of the roots.
Uut next spring, as early rs the soil is
dry, you must apply to each large tree,
manured in the full, two bushels of ashes
and it peck of plaster or gypeum; and, if it
be a pear tree, a half bushel of bone rjusl
If it is nn apple tree, you may substitute a
peck of air slaked lime for the plaster -Spread
this evenly over the soil that was
dug and manured Inst autumn, and mix it
through il.e whole with a stout three prong
ed fork. This will bring the soil to a good
condition ogam, and tbe old tree will spee
dily commence making new roots selling
new fruit buds, and, the next season, begin
to bear fine fruit ngain. And this I do not
give you from theory, but from actual trial
under the most favorable circumstances.
I do not tell you to prune your tree,
because 1 very touch doubt the wis
dom of ii the fust year. I would only see
that the bark is clean and smooth, aodtfirs
u a lutle more soft soap, if necessary, in that h
quarter Alter the tree nas begun lo ex-
hibil signs pf feeling tfcf? f 4y j . i -it
given it say twenty months hence t'uat
yon may, if needful prun? . it moderately.
When, indeed, tho tree is portly deCayed or
broken or full of lanffled and ciW tix-l.
I would be a little sever with it at f .,
but i ot otherwise? Vf p .
This is the season when a shrewd o!J dig
ger should go over ht peneh and , f,Zz
trees, scrape away the' earth about the Lot
toros of .the trunks; and look for that
rascal the peach worm If Mi there,
expecting that M there h a good rime com
