Vith respect ta cituatioTj, very hrivinj; orchards are frequently found u iiijf and low grounds, on declivi ties ami rd ai n s i n varidu? aape c ts and exposures ; but tbi is in consequence of the natural soil being good : you rhouKl however, avoid very damp si tuations, par ti cularly s uch as I odge water, for in very wet soils, no fruit trees wiliprosper, nor vjil tfie fiuit produced in such places be pbd : but ii moderately low situation, free from wet. may be more eligible than an e jevated ground, as being less exposed to tempestuous winds ; but, if having n e ntle decli vity, t! e mo re d esirabi e. A proper soil bcino: the grand and c Kcntial requisite, should be carefully selected, for on litis depends much of you r success ; v a good dee p sandy ioarc, neither tt) dry, nor wet, is the n os t sui t able to r all kinds of fruit trees, and whether this be on high or My situations, jt should be preferred t j eve ry oilier.

When hogs are kept in an orchard, th c v sh o uld be fed in m ornin gs a ro u n d th e roots of each tree, unti L you get through the whole orchard, by which means they will root about the trees, s o as to ke p t he gr c und c 1 eau , loose and open ami likewise give them a considerable manuring. It is con- ! Istantlv observed, that vhen tlie stem I ! of th e tree gro ws too fast for tlie ha rk , it causes blotches and lacerations : which evil is properly avoided by scor- ing tlie bark with a sharp knife : but ! tli ' t j care snouiu ue taKen not to go to the rind tr inner bark. A great enemy to apple trees in many parts of the country is the calterpillar. The 'method of destroying them is to gv early in the morning and twist their nests out1 of the trees with a forked stick or long pole. It is said by a respectable farmer, that by placing a larjre clod of dirt in the fork of an apple tree, orbv; tving dirt or salt around uc body ot the tree, that al 1th e caterpill a rs will immediately desert, and will not craul over the dirt again to get into the tree. , " '' '. -':'-'V; But they are so easily destroyed by thc former method, that it should be considered nothing but laziness in a farmer who permits his orchards to be injured by these insects. Apple trees are very often almost ail tire ly ruined by moss, which nif-';vy, and in jures others so mucli, t ;heyare on ly an incurcbrantf to tlie ground, and a disgrace fo tit countrt. v This evil may easily bechecktjd, ! r scraping Be rubbing off the mos3 in de spring of the year, vfh a rouiidcd;;ron scraper, draining the land, if too vet, or reten tive of moisture v;ll sametihies pre vent or cure moss j or Jigging round tlie trees pa the appr rk of winter, oi in spring, and hrngwrg ueslt mould, or the scouring of ponds, or the earth ploughed up on the site of long stand ing fences and laid round them Whatever contributes to the health of f the tree, w i I I cq re, or in some degree mitigate this and other diseases. Iu gathering applesj we must consi der tlie climate in which we live, and direct our practice according to the decree of heat or cold. In hot com tries, tlie fruit must be gathered s or.er than in colder ones, because the sap has performed its work sooner. Fruit will keep longer, the longer it is suf fered to rem ain on the tree. W e should gather fruit after a frost, for wc are tlien sure tha sap will no Ioa ircr aid it. This consideration merits i r more attention, perhaps, than has hi- ! i . . i. 1. . . . .. .

Vci e orchards properly culti-1 vati, aiul the ciiler produced from j litem prooerlv made, every farmer won id itiid toat no pains or attention upon his orch- ards wo'iid be too great.

There they have almost completely substituted cider for ardent spirits ; and this wholesome beveraga rsft be found on their ta bles lilt! e inferior to the best wine, throughout the year. I have before observed, that good cider would be a national saving of weal th, by expelling foreign liquors, and of life, by expeli inir the use of ardent spirits. And I collider apples, under all their varie ties, the length of time they may be preserved, and the many uses made of them, not onlv the most valuable of alio 11 r k inds of f r u its ; but jjerhaps of nmre real value to the people in gene ral than all the other fruits, llesides these considerations, the plca-urtf and delight winch a tanner ruust cx.ieri ence in the Cultivation of an orchard, exceeds perhaps any other belonging to his pkaaing and happy pursuit.
