Duolap spoke on the subjact of BEE-KEEPING s2 connected with horticulture snd floriculture incity and suburban homes. It might be in- jred, what bee-keeping had to do with these its? He would answer by asking, what s tho object to be attained in horticulture sad floriculturo ? Simply feasts,—feasta of the ero and fessis of tho palate,—nothing but fosts. If wo can add another foast of tho eyo and s foast of the palate from the flowers, with- out detracting from the other feasts that they upply, we have gained justso much, andit is this fact that made bec-keeping a part of horticul- toreand of foriculture, and gave it o place in every city and suburban home where these par- guits are carried on. TIE PLANTING AND OARE OF ORCHARDS. fr. M. B. Spofford, of Lee County, said his . orehard is locsted on the west side of Rock Riv- er, on timber-land, and well sheltered from the weeping prairie-winds; and ‘his orchard bad teen very productive. He plants 20 feet spart, end gives what is kmown as. flat culture. In aring the land, he sbsoils some 13 inches m; but, in the after-culture, plows shallow, using for this purpose & fine-tooth cultivator.

The blue-bird destroys the larvm of the codlin-moth, while the groator part of the food of nearly the wholo family of birds is composed of insects. Itis true tiu, daring a part of the season, they take a small toll from tho grain-fields and fruita of th orchard and of the garden. Then, the value of thoir musicmay not be counted in dollars, yet it has a yalue. M. D. 0] Booneld, of Eigin, rosd Mr. D. C. Beofield, of in, read o paper on this subject. Ho drew o vivid pishire. af the destruction of the primeval forestsin all parts of the country. The Hudson River districtwas first laid opon, and then the forests melted away as the settlements pressed on to the Great Lakes, and then to ‘tho groat pine-forests of Michigau. More than 200,000 acies of wood melta sway annually before the railroads and their engines ; add to this all the uscs that wood isput to, the conflagration of citics, and tho wrecks of vessels, and our wood i3 swallowad up at & most sstonishing rate. Such demands on our native forests must, in & few years, sweep away all that is \'Ahxnbic, and we will be compelled to resort to other countrios, plant and grow our own_ timber, or mubstitute for it some other material. * i Arthur Bryant, 8en., read a paper on the samo subject, mostly in relation to the destruction of thelocust by the borer. His remedy wzs the planting of "the black waluut, butternut, and other useful trees. The two named would not cost more than com for four or five years, while ash, larch, and some others might cost for five years 250 to 860 per ncro. The planting of deciduous trees should be four feet each way, and conifers eight feet. He would plant the Lombardy poplar between the overgreens, in order to compel an upright growth, and, after a few years, cut ont tho poplers. The common black cherry is_salso valualle tree.” He would not use the black walnut as a screon to tho orchard. Mr. L. K. Bcofield took decided exception to the planting of the poplar among the conifers, or, in ghort, among any other trees. Alr, Dryant stated that the common sugar- maplo waa superior to the black sugar-maple for the making of gugar. Sugar may be mude from tho silver maple, and also the nsh-leaf maple. The red or common soft maple is not common in the State, while tho silvor maplo_is comman in almost all of our bottom waodlands. In the planting of the European larch, they may ba planted four fect apart, and not thinned until the trees are large onough for railroad ties, ‘whon one-half of the trecs should be cut out. The matter of thinning must dopend on growth and'other conditions.” That the 18 very durable, there can be no question. . Hill, of Dundec,—an old larch-planter from tho hills of Scotia,—stated that, in plant- ing this tree, 8,000 plants werg planted to the acre, Tho plants, planting, sod caro for three yeare, cost about 820 per acre, One man can plant an gcre a day. The plants should bo plantod very early, beforo the buds had started; ot it is possiblo to plant it at a later time in the Bemson. Tho whito grub is the worst enemy of new larch plantations. g * A gentleman suggestod that the skunk would destroy this grub, if permittod to do 80, and that this pleasant little animal should not be cisturbed, Mr. Hill stated that the larch grown in Scot- l1and waos almost indestrnctible, and was much eought after for railroad tics. Samples of tamarack. or American lareh, wera also shown; Dut it was stated that this treé madea vory fecbla growth " on dry land, while ths same land was well adapted to the European variety. " . Douglass gave a concise mods of planting. The twomain points are, to plant early in the spring; ond, in planting, to press the earth firmiy on_the roots. .This rule also applies to tho planting of all coniferous troes. Mr, D p stated. that ho had Yhntefl three aores of the larch in’ the spring of 1871, and not more than 8 _per cent were lost in the planting, but many plants were destroyed by the whito grub. The cost of planting und culture was &bont 20 for the £ years ; 'sdd to this $30 per ncro for the plints, and the total cost for that time is about £50 per sicra. He hiad a plants- tion of ;larch ‘15 years ‘old, standing 4 fect ench way, that in mno wise appear crowded, aud they promise {o'"grow in this close proximity for'some years to omo, and perbaps ‘until they reach a’size euitable for 08, A Mr. Edwards read an essay on Forest-Tree Planting, following in tho same vein as_thaso preceding, but giving & more important place to the conifers, .

After Mr. Temple's esssy, Professer Parry re- marked that our conntry was not yot acquainted with its most beaatiful native flawers, and he proceeded to exhibit about fifty specimens ‘of the Rocky Monntain' variety. They excited the ad- mirition of the mdeting. ~Tho specimens wers ll hardy placts. - - Messra, Parry and Templo were voted the thanks of the Society. - 2 Speh ey .- The discussign of pesra brought out a full de- ‘bsto.

POMOLOQY. Michigan State Pomological So- ciety. Vineyards in Monroe County--- Apples---Exhibition of Fruit =-=-Dried Fruit, BECOND DAY. From our Owcn Correspondent. Laxsmvg, Mich,, Jan, 22, 1873, The Socioty met at 9 o'clock this morning, and held a very intorosting sozeion. COMMITTEES wero appointed to report: On Dried Fruit, D. R. Waters, of Spring Lake, Chairman ; on Flow- ers, Professor Beal, Chairman; on Fruit-Bads, Mr. Bradfield; on Apples, - Mr. Pearsoll; on Wine, Professor Holmes. VINE-GROWING. A communicstion was read from Monroe County giving some facts in rolation to the vinoyards of that county.. The average yiold was 234 Ibs por vine. Some vinoyards wero reported of 88 acres, yielding 64,000 Ibs of grapes, others of 8 acres, 12,000 Ibs; one of 2 acros, 16,000 Ibe. Over 202,000 s of grapes were reported as the product last yoar of the principal vineyards, not estimating the pro- duct of private gardens. Over 85,000 gallons of wine were made. The vines, last year, on lowest lands, yieldod best. APPLES. MMr. Myron, II. Norton, of JTonia County, sent & communication, which was read, recommending two apples—the Baldwin, and the Wagener—for productiveness, hardiness, quality, and market Value,—the Wagoner preferrod. Also, to estab- lish a fruit-standard, with scalo of pointa for estimating the value of apples. Abox of fruit was sent to the Socioty, for ita use, by Jeremiah Stannard, of New Boaton, one of tho first sottlers of Ionia County,—the box coataining nearly 23 varietiea. Bpecimens of the Belmont apple were exhibited. This variety has many friends. One gentleman is toset out 1,000 trces of this apple in the spring. B Mr. Parmlee, of Old Mission, Traverse County, also exhibited the Belmont, and spoke Dighly of tho morits of the Ben Davis, clamming that it had ninotoen‘ont of twenty pointass a good apple. Mr. Parmlee also exhibited very fine and highly-colored specimens of the Ben Davis, Goldon Russet, Wagener, and Groening; also, an apple called tho Indian, a secdling,—a large, long, deep-rod spple, produced from & tree which has borno every gour for thirty years, the soeds of which were brought.from Mackinaw. The Golden Russets, Greeuings, and Wagenors weroe very superior fruit. - Mr, Parmleo, in response to_questions, said : The Swoar bocomes & striped apple with us. Our soil is & fruit #oil ; our atmosphers is vory cloar ; and_all variotics of apples color well.

Northwestern Dairymen’s Associa- tion. 2 From Our Own Correspondent, WarrewaTER, Wis,, Jan. 22, 1873, The report of the Secretary, G. E. Morrow, of Madigon, Wis., reviewed the condition of the dairy interests of the Northwest during 1872, showing & genersally favorable condition, with fair profits, espocially to cheese-makers and those making the better grades of butter,—the common grades of butter having sold at low ratos, The future of the dairy interest was thonght bright to those who engaged in the business undor reasonsbly favorsble circum- stauces. Among the suggestions mado were these: That all possible means be used to give to tho public facts relative to the oxtent of the dairy regions of tho- Northwest, end to spread sbroad’ sll poesible information, 80 as to induce dsirymen to better deserve a good roputation for their goods; that home markets should be developad, and the practice of crowding the New York markets in summer be stopped. It was stated that more than half the cheese received at New Yorkin 1872, or at least 40,000,000 pounds, was received in June, July, and August, and nearly one-fourth of the whole amount was received in August. Botter curing-forms, 80 some of this checse could be kept at the factories, were strongly urged. The limited mso of cheese in the Northiwost was illustrated by tho fact that, at Madison, Wis., not moro than 4 pounds of cheese was rotalled for 1872 for each inhabitant old enough to eat choese, whilo, at the leading hotel, 20 pounda for cach person wag used. The im- portence of recording large yields for each cow was enforced, many cows producing so little ag to give no profit. Tho marketing question was discussod at some length; and the plan of hold- ing duiry markot days in central points was com- mg:&dod. ‘This report was adopted by the Com- mittee. The discussion of the question of ¢ The Adap- tation of the Northwest to Dlfirfiig" Wwas D{om ed withan able paper by N. Eldred, of Iows Falls, Tows. The production of firat-class goods inthe Northwost wad assumed asa fact. Tho roquisites of a perfect dairy climate was given as a low temperature during the summer, and fro- uent light rains in same season. The north of nci!.uud was-spoken of asa good examplo of such a climate. Inthe Northwest, we heve a hot, dry climate,—too bot for comfort for the animals, aud for the best growthof the grasses, whicl wither. in the drouth, and too hot for the best handling of @airy goods. Our eoil is good and fertilo, and produces larga crops, and, with good cultivation, it will produco tho best grasscs. Buccess cdn be nttained here, nothwithstanding the difficaltios. E Professor ‘Miles callod attention to the fact that sometimes somo disadvantages often seom- ed to help success, 88 more energy was manifest- od to overcome thom. Tho second topic,*‘ The Dairy Farm,” wasthen taken up. H.O. Drake, of Lake Mills, Wis., read a valuable paper. Among the points made, it was recommended fo have the pasture in ona flold, instead of several. There ehould be & va- riety of grasses, ripcning &t different times dur- inithe season. Pure water, of couree, is essan- tial. Enough of what they like best i 8 good rule in feeding cowa. Large pastures have an- other ndvantago in saying foncos. A description of & dairy farm was given, especial stress bein; 12id on hiaving the arrangements 8o to eavo the manure. & 'W. D. Whitney, of Kenoshs, and A. D. Favill, is., gave extended descriptions of fine barns built by them; and the discussion was continued by several others. The question of whether thedairy farm should be exclusively devoted to dairy products, was discussed by several, with apparent differonces of viows, until it wes found that different mosn: ings wero attached to the words. It was gener- ally held that the Dairyman should * make all hia crops look to tho production of milk ; he shqwid raise his own calvos, and the'trops for his own GOWE, o+ e LY O - Highly {nteresting remarks wero made by Pro- fessar Miles on this subject.
