The Press and Banner Wednesday, March 3, 1886. Xcpanthc. I live as in a dream Treading alone life's pathway through the year: Alone?alone, alike in smiles or tearsLiving as in a dream. It seems but vaguely true That many changing years have passed me by? Somanv years?since last I said "Good-bye" To love?and you. Ah ! well, 'twas better soBetter we parted in the Ions years cone; Better that I should live my life alone And Did you go. For your bright pathway led To that dun height where Fame bestows her wreath; Mine through deep vales, fanned by the fevered breath Of hopes now dead. Yet,?once I deemed That, death' alone could ever soothe my grief, That only Heaven could give my soul relief, tn cuil llfo Kppmi'll. I smile, and yet I sigh. To think that once?ah! once I loved yon so, Made you my idol, and could feel such woe To say "Good-bye." For now it all has fled, No pain stirs in my heart at thought of you,? Only u little longing for the rest,?in view, All else is dead. SAVE DOCTOR'S BILLS. INVEST SOMETHING FOR THE PROCUREMENT OF THE BEST HEALTH-GIVING LUXURY. The Apple and Peacli Crop?How to Plant and Hon* to Cultivate. It is intended in this Essay to give the reader some practical suggestions, based upon ex perlence and observation during twenty-live year*, and the writings of others, which have been read with deep luterest. The location of an orchard Is of prime importance. A northern, or exposed location, is * ' * 1 -v-'I uitnnM Ko t f\ Its, IHU Ultiitu VI Otavuiu V/v vv the north, northeast or northwest of the houses. This has been said very often; but let us have some reasons for it: 1st. The trees must be kept cold to prevent their blooming too early in Spring, and the J'ruit being killed by frost; andit is colder on the north than on the south side, and very much more so than people supposr. The Louses break off the colu winds, which prevail to the north, from the trees; if they are on the south, and the sinoke from the chimneys is carried into them, continually warming them, very early in the Spring the bloom is out, to meet the hoar Host, which it "kisses and dies." A fair Illustration of this warming process exists in my yaid. There is a tuiip-poplar wme sixty feet high, standing to the southWest of, and thirty feet from one of the dwelling house chimneys, which is thirty-eight feet liiyh. Fires were kept runuing in this cheinney all the Winter, and the north winds carried the smoke right iuto_it; and the consequence was that it was almost in full foliage before trees of the same kind in the woods and fields had leaves at all. The old rule in Viiginiawns to plant corn when the poplar or hickory leaf was as large as a squirrel's ear, or when the dogwood blooms. By this tree, it was time to plant, 41? ,n,u <?f A nrlI u 11 rf tms season. Oil Hie 1UHI m 1VU1 ut ?..u by the same trees in the woods, the loth of May. 2il. The prevailing winds in this climate during the growing season of trees, are from the souih aud southwest. The more the growing trees can be protected from the force of these winds, the better; lor lis will be observed on looking at any tree standing out in the tield, the limbs are held up to the northeast, and grow so; and the hot sun at 2 or 3 o'clock on August afternoons, shines on the bodies, and in many cases (notably so with cherry trees) they are blistered and ruined. {If you have any trees with bodies exposed, box them in up to the limbs, and you will save them. ? Now, if the orchard is put to the north of your houses, the yard trees and dwelling and out-houses will form a very considerable prolection to itl'rwm these winds. 3d. The trees will, when so located, break the force of the cold winds of winter from the dwelling-house. And last, but by no means the least., the orchard should in no case be put to the south, noutheastor southwest of the dwelling, bemuse it will effectually shut out the winds of Kammer, and make the house as hot as an oven. I have Uuowu people to swelter on a hot day, or, worse still, a not night, with 110 current of air through their Iiouks, while fine breezes were blowing above great masses of shrubbery and lruit trees, which shut out the current and gave no protection from the same. Mil ra .UIIK I",IP TCM.i ||f >L lldl'l h aiu gv^/u .v. ?0 ? em exposure lor your orchard. And having done this, the next important thing to do Is to buy the trees from it reliable dealer, whose nursery is in your locality. Don't go North for them. (I have some old trees, bought in New Jersey, for winter apples, that ripen their fruit early in October, and I have sold the fruit in Richmond several liuies about the first of th;?t month.) And especially avoid buying a great variety of trees, lor where you get many ports, a large number ?say one-halt?while they may be line in flavor, will be worthless, from the fact that they are bad growers, or bad bearers, or not hardy, or more subject to decay or lire blight, or attacks of insects. 1 would recommend for my section of Virginia, a very large percentage of W'inesap apples. I have seen this apple in all parts of the estate, and have never heard any one, anywhere, say a word against it. It will not keep quite so long as some other sorts, but it will keep well; will bear profusely at five years lrom the nursery, ana iroin that time straight, on to twenty-flve or thirty years, and longer If cared for. The Farly-Ripe, Early-IIarvest, lled-Astrakan, Ben-Davis, (Jullesago, Fallen-Water, Johnson's Fiue-Water, and hundreds ot others, are good. There is a wilderness to select from, and there is temptatiou to have all sorus, 4>r uiany sorts, dui qou i uuu; uuu una uoius good as to peaches. Now have you the plants, let's see about planting those crops. You are fortunate if you have some rich land to put them iu ; for iu that event half your labor is saved. The very old suggestions about digging big holes, taking out me poor dirt and putting 111 rich, and setting tiie trees in these, are good, but not necessarily to be followed. Prepare lhe land by plougning us deep as the soil will bear, and manure for t?ome summer crop; put your trees iu?giving apples thirty-three feet eacu way, and peaches twenty-two feet; put them in together. Set , the trees up straight, getting the dirt well around the roots, which should be spread out naturally; and no matter how well you may huve manured the land before, put two or tfcree Jorksfoll around each tree after setting it, and on the top of this throw four or live spapesful of wood-pile etiips, or woods-mould. This will save the youug tree in the most protracted drouth. It you have not manured the land at all, this mulching process will start lhe trees. Insetting trees, drive down two good stakes of cedar, li you nave it,, near eaen one, eight inches off?say, in ihe angles of the ground. For instance, the land being struck off, and the trees set east and west, and north mid south, the slakes should be northeast and southwest of tlieiu. Put them there to stay, nnd in that position and at that distance tne plow-bar or trace cannot strike a tree, no mailer which way or how carelcssly you may drive. Some of the trees will get out of position by the second year; these stakes will do ilien to tie them to; in fact, it will do no harm to tie them at once. As to pruning, let them alone the first year. Cut the lower limbs off the second year, bui not too much. Cut more in the third year, und then direct the form of the tree; but avoid, in ail stages of the tree, too much pruning. Let them grow low; don't let tne limbs crowd and press each other; keep the tree erect, or ihclining a little to the south ; don't Jet the sun shine on the bodies. Use judgment in pruning. Some trees requireitoften ; other sorts hardly at nil. Prune in latter part of May or June. Don't cut your tree.s in winter or fall; it is ruinous to them, and there can be no necessity for it. Save the soap-suds after clothes washing and wash down the bodies of your trees, young and old, or get some other wash?carbolic *oap, or something else. Hub some axle.greese on the bodies of your young treos in the fall, to prevent hares and mice from girdJlng tliem in the winter. For the first time in >uy memory, the hares were very destructive io young trees in this section during the last winter. I .had a lot of young apple trees, oue , and two years from the nursery, and saw on the 1st oi December, that something was biting them ; three were already girdled. I gave a man a box of axle-greese, and had him rub It on with his hands, the whole lot, from the roots to the limbs, and they were not touched atterwards. while hundreds were destroyed at other places where they were not thus treated. ThiR is the first time that such a thing has occurred here that I know of, but it may not bo the last. For the first Ave or six years an orchard ought to be manured und worked in corn, or potatoes, or peas?never in small grain of any sort while there is a tree alive in is. Two crops of oats or wheat will so tire-blight the finest trees, and fill them with worms and insects, that ten years of subsequent judicious management will not suffice to relieve them. This I tried long ago. Now, when your trees have come into full beaming, do all you can for the laud. They prow in and take nothing from it but the fruits. fccatter all the wood-ashes you spare upon it; lime if, if possible: mulch it with wood?i mould or manure, or anything that will cover I the earth. Let your hogs work it for you, and eat up the decayed fruit and the worms; kill the caterpillars, to the last one of them. Cut ; out the dead branches and carry them away, j Go to your peach trees, and see if there is glue (the life-blood of the tree is ebbing away") exuding from them at the ground ; if so, take away the dirt from the tree, and with your knife so after the ucly, spread-head, maggotty-iooking worms.called borers, which yon 1**511 un.lnr HiA bill thnUl !?1 1 wll 1 / 11 Is hut little work; then put some lime and ashes around the roots nnd body of the trees and replace the soil; and your peach trees, which you have ueen told will live ?nd bear fruit, for only ten or twelve years, will live and hear fruit for twenty-five years if this process is repeated when necessary. And now, will this apple and peach culture pay you ? Certainly it will, through the crop alone; but not a/wr through the crops to be raised. Your neighbor, who has no fruit, nevor had, and never wilt have any, told you that it would not pay. He looks upon fruit, trees and shade trees and flowers, and such things, as luxuries that farriers and farmers' children should not indulge in. But you left his barj ren, sun-scorhed looking house and yard, and j his line corn and wheat crops, and his splendid grass, and fat cattle, and you went to his I neighbor's place, where were all these things, and In addition the stately grove or loresi trees about his house, and acres of rich, ripe fruit, and evergreens and flowers, and songs of birds, and you were esthetic enough fit practical enough to prefer this latter soil, either to live upon or to be buried in. Yes, the orchard will pay: it will pay in the enhanced value of the real property it grows upon; in the actual fourfold product in value of the acres it occupies; in the health it. promotes; and in the delicious luxuries it affords you and your children. Aside from this, it is a thing of beauty all the time, whether it be when spring, with dewy fingers ha* touched and brought out all the blossoms and their perfumes; or summer, with dewv nights and sunny days, is ripening up the yellow fruit: or brown autumn with mirth and song, is "come to make the harvest home." In all seasons it will be for you and for your children and your visitor and sweetest spot about your home.?Ovxj), In Southern Plant er. Items from the McOormick Advance. Mr. W. A.
