 K Sir Henry Stuart, of Scosland, asserts from personal experience, tkSIa large forest and ornamental fruit trees, nhay, by care, proper preparation and gentle treatment, be transplamed with perfect certainty of their continued prosperity and without n,u- tilatien, and thc larger the tree the more readily docs ii auurishin its new location, deriving even advantages from changing the exposure of the sides
 1t is requisite, however, that the tree be taken up during the winter wi,l, us many roots perfect, as possible--conveyed gent. ly to its new babitation, comfortably lodg- ed, and carefully provided for; with this view a writer iu Blackwood's Magazine, thus concludes an article upon Sir Henry Stuari's plan:
 taWe believe we are correct when we say, that Sir Henry has repeatedly remo- we'd the same tree without the least detri- ment.s Theoperation ofremoval indeed so gentle, that the tree, which in one sense is asleep, ,not having awoke to spring, ,knows no more about it, than you yourself, gentle reader, would know about it were youto be lifted up out of your bed, at midnight, and laid into another, win softer and deep- CT feathers, and an additional pair of the finest and ligltest blankets. The old pre- judice about the impossibility of unrooting d great tree, must, however venerable and poeiical, give way nothing is so easy, and 1t costs but mere tri1c. @gas
 HORSES.
 The following remarks upon horses are copied from the publication of an eminent farrier in Europe and we think them worth the pernsal of farmers generally.
 The pulse of a horse in health, is from 30 to 40 beats ina minute, and is easily feltby pressing the finger gently upon the temporal artery which is situated about an inch and half backwards from the cor ner of the eyes. e#e 'F
 Horses have not the faculty of fpuking or even bclching wind out of their s,omachs, and therefore are peculiarly subject to the wind cholic. |. ..r When horse has been over ridden, blood spots may Do seen in the white of his eyes.
 A timber dock is sure evidence alim- Der back that is, a weak one.
 A horse that is hardy and good for busi- ness, has short back bone, which termin- aics forward of the hip bones.
 A .,f s.h:en 1&n~l -1 botts by tanning them, and they will be- come so shriyelled. as scarcely to be dis cernible when discharged.
 The principal signs of a good horse are these--the eyes far apart in the head. and large and bright; the quirl high in the fore- head one or two on the neck is good sign; theneck well set on high, the slloal- der blades pretty high, and conycrgiDg to point; the breast full and large, and SC also behind, the body round. for fiat bodies or slab sided horses are weak natured, the dock stiff, growing wide behind, for if the gan,bols knock together, 1t shows that the horse is feeble: chewing the bit when pro- voked, is good sign.
 It is Spanish provcrb, that dappIe grey will sooner die than tire.
