It is mainly through defective construction in carts that vibram five fingers waggons have been able so long to maintain their ground.Of the liquid-manure cart we say but little, as we believe it will be found most advantageous to apply the manure in a solid form, and that therefore there will be eventually little or no demand for the liquid-manure vibram fivefingers cart.Probably the smallest number of carts it would be possible forany farmer to manage with would be three 4i inch-wheel carts and one 3 jnch-wheel cart; the 4i inch being for farm, and the 3 inch for market, purposes. This is very much less than any farmer ought to have.With three dung-carts, one may be filling, one going, and the other returning. We prefer the 4b inch-wheel to a wider one, for the 6, inch we think too heavy for harvesting purposes ; the 3 inch wheel would cut the land, which the 4i inch does not.The cart, we have already said, is, in our opinion, vastly superior, for nearly every purpose of the farm, to the waggon ; still the waggon has many advocates. A heavy load of hay may be hauled to the pasture-ground, and allowed to remain on the waggon until the sheep have consumed it. This is an advantage. Again, where the farm lies scattered and hilly, a waggon may be more useful than a cart, on account of the advantage of dragging in going down hill.We have now discussed the various heads of our subject, and have, we trust, proved that the cart, for all farm purposes, is superior to the waggon, and that it only requires a correct knowledge on the part of our mechanists to supersede the latter. If this paper should vibram five fingers kso induce a more careful consideration of these principles, its object will have been well answered.VI.—On Orchards. By WlLLIAM Heale, Upton Nurseries,Chester.The cultivation and management of orchards, generally speaking, is much neglected in the western counties. The treatment they require is not well understood, and in most cases they are left to themselves as soon as they have become well established in the soil. The care they receive is confined to cutting off dead branches, or those which hang down in the way of cattle that are allowed to graze under them.In the accompanying pages it will be my aim to give such information to the cultivator as has either fallen within my own observation and practice, or as I have been enabled to gather from the published opinions of others.To the late Mr. Andrew Knight five fingers shoes we are much indebted for the improvement of the race of fruits in this country :
