When trees arc removed for the purpose Of
being transplanted, their roots should, If possi-
bc be preserved fresh and entire. II these
precautions have been omitted, their whole
bodies and roots must be immersed in fresh wa
ter during "a hours; and their tops must be
lessened in proportion to the loss their roots
have sustaincd,-The source by which they
derive the nourishment which they received
from the earth being diminished, the whole sap
OF the tree and even its vitality, would other
wise pass off by transportation.
October and November and Immediately
after the first hard frost has arrested vegcta-
ton is esteemed the best season for transplant
ing trees. The plum, the peach, the cherry
and evergreen trees do especially well when
planted early in autumn. But where circum-
stances render it necessary, transplanting may
be deferred till spring. When trees are trans
planted in autumn the earth becomes duly
consolidated at their roots, and they are ready
to vegetatc with the first advancement of
spring.
The holes for receiving the trees should be
du. from four to six feet in diameter, according
to the size Of the trees, aud eighteen inches
deep; the yellow sub soil intermiXed with n
portion Of manure. The tree should generally
! be set no deeper thun it stood before, otherwise
! the lower roofs will cease to grow; the ibres
should be spread horizontally, in their natural
1 position, and the soil be Intimately and compact
ly placed about their roots manure may be
! placed above and bepeath and TO every side
but ought Never to be suffered TO come in con,
tact with the roots, az it Is liable to corrupt
treadng and iuure them. Finish by The
ground very hard When evergreen trees arc
set it is generally considered indispensable tc
pour at once few gallons ofwster around the
tree previous to treading hard the earth ; Fl
nish earthing, and tread hard an hour after
wards. This is an excellent and safe mod,
with regard to any tree. New American

MsssacAu.st,s and New York.


There has sprung up cno her discussion as to The
relative prosperity Of New York and Boston in
which il appears to US that the Bjstonians are a.

The authorities Of New York recently Published
a statement of tho estimate value Of real ond per.

if we do not lose hy trusting south of New York,
to c.u,e steady increasing, and rapid increase to

"On the whole, what with an extension of, per-
haps. twenty per cent to the real estate of Boston

-"In late number Of the Baptist Banner

signature of VIM. Webb, and addressed to
Dr. J. w. Thompson, President Of the Agri-
cultural Society OF New Castle county, Della
ware, at a late meeting, in which Mr.. Webb
describes the method of making sugar from
corn &. c. from cornstalks) also his mode of
cultivation OF the coin, &c. ! have no doubt
but in the main he is correct, for Mr.. Josiah
Uney, Of Mercer county, KY, us far back as
twenty years, had mil! by which the corn
stalk was both ground and pressed at the same
moment, was fed by one hand and cleaned by
another, and was carried by one horse. The
juice was used only for making molasses, no
trial that ever knew of It's being made into
sugar. The mill was very simple Of construc-
ton, being similar in almost every respect, to
the modern apple mil, only the nuts were
fmooth; in one was a set OF cogs, which
worked in the other by means Of simple morti-
ces The whole costing not more than ten
dollars, and made of wood throughout. Early
in the fall the ears Of corn were taken from
the stalk and fed to stocE, the corn stripped oI
the blades and was Immediately cut and hau'cu
TO the mil one wagon load ofprePared stah.
being sufficient TO produce ten gallons OF mo
lasses. The corn WAS never touched until the
stalks were iipe, or had arrived TO that ma
turity when fullest of saccharine, when llr,
whole process was carried through as quick a
possible.
Mr. UIley's mode &c. of boiling and clarity

Profits OF the Grape Culture.

The McSsrs. KLoFP of Heidelberg
township, some four or five years ago
laid out vineyard Of two acres. Their
crops of grapes within the past few
years have been excellent, and they
have realized a handsome income from
them in previous years. This fall they
have made about 1900 gallons of the
pure juice of the grape, which they find
ready sale for at 75 cents per gallon
making the pretty neat sum Of $l,l2j.
They estimate the whole annual eX-
pense of attending the vineyard-pru-
ming, gathering, pressing, &c. at about
$50, which is more than covered by the
sale of cuttings. Their two acres, then,
may be said to yield an annual nett
profit of over 81 ,00O-a pretty hand,
