AGRICULTURAL.
APPLE TREES.

All hardy fruit trees, more especially ap'
Piles, will bear considerable portion of ma
nurc in the soil, provided it has been previ-
ously niermixeG with the soil, and thorough
~ ro.ted.
a very successful experiment was made
two years ago, by the writer, he'results of
which are now very striking, by digging very
large holes for apple trees, aud filling them
with mixture of soil and roited manure. A
thorough intermixture of the soil and manure
was effected as they were gradually filled in,
by means of a large toothed iron rake. The
holes were about seven feet in diameter, and
a foot deep. I'm setting out the trees, COM
mon garden earth only was placed in contact
with the roots, consequently the effects of the
mixed ro,tcd manure was not visible the first
year The present year, however, its inf1u-
ence has been most obvious i'm the rapid
growth of the shoots, and in the uncommon
ly dark and rich hue of the large and luXu-
RANT foliage.
1t is hardly necessary to add that the soil,
as matter of course, was kept clean and in
mellow state, and that the trees were tied to
an nprgh, stake, driven into the hole before
filling, To prevent shaking and loosening by
the wind.

VALUE OF a NEWSPAPER.

Sir John Herschel says, of all amusement.
which can possibly be imagined for hard
working man, after his daily tolls, or in its
intervals, there is nothing like reading an en-
tertalnng newspaper. 1t calls for no bodily
exertions, of which he has had enough, or TOO
much. 1t relieves his home of Its dullness
and sameness, which in nine cases out of ten,
Is what drives him out 10 the ale-house, to
ms own and TO his iamily's ruin. 1t trans
ports HIM from loveier, graver and more
diversified scenc-and while he enovs HIM
self there, he may forget the evils of the pre-
sent moment. fully as much as if he were ever
so drunk, with the great advantage of finding
himself the next day with the money in his
pocket. or at least laid out in real necessarjes
and comforts for himself and family, and with
out headache. Nay, il accompanies him TO
his next days work, and if the paper he has
been reading, be anything above the very
Id!est and slightest it gives him something TO
think OF besides the mechanical drudgery of
MS every day notwithstanding he can
ENJOY while absent, and look forward with
pleasure 10 return TO.

TINE TO CUT TIMRER

In a paper by Hon. Timothy Pickering,
presented TO the Agricultural Society of Mas
sachuseits in 1921, ii asserted that oak felled
IN May lasted % years. whereas that cut in
February lasted but IL years, though exposed
under the same circumstances. A farmer in
that State cut a birch for well sweep, in
May, and pealed the bark off; i! lasted severn
teen years: but birch ielled in the winter
season and left with the bark attached, does
not last more than a year.

MANAGEMENT OF coLTs-wEANINa

Let the colt run with his dam until winter
quarters. i'll the stable then tic mare and col,
IN the same stall, but in such a manner that
the colt cannot suck except when he is loos-
ed Tor that purpose, once day, until the mare
is dried of her milk. Feed him alternately
with oats, shorts or roots, once or twice day,
and all the good hay he will eat Give him
plenty Of exercise twice day in leading 10
water; curry or card him clean, daily, and
let him be well bedded with straw.
BlTTiNG.--Take your colt when he is COM
ing tour years old into square box stable;
put the biting apparatus on him twice day,
Tor half hour or an hour, mot longer, as il
is painful TO the muscles,) gradually drawing
IN The nose each time, until it is to your lik-
ing. When he becomes accustomed TO il,
turn him into an enclosure to stand, walk, or
run, as suits his inclination; then 90 TO him
after half an hour or so, take off the biting
bride, and give him an apple, scratch his
nose, and, in kind voice, tell him to come
along, and he will follow you into the stable.
Have trough instead of rack for his feed,
and so constructed as TO oblige him to raise
his head lille, and curb in his nose, i'm or
der, to get his food, having one apartment for
hay, and another for oats and roots. Have
high window Gu, out at one side of the stall.
where he can stand with head up and amuse
himself in looking at the other horses and
colts in the yard. This will greatly relieve
the irksomeness Of his confinement, and make
him more gentle. II of bad disposition,
however, he may require close confinement in

When first the lonely May Flower threw
Her canvass TO the breeze,
To bear afar her pilgrim crew,
Beyond the dark blue seas,
Proud Freedom TO our land had flown,
And chose 1t for the brave;
Then formed the Nations corner stone,
And set it by the wave,
That, when the pilgrims anchored there,
Their stepping stone might be
That consecratcd rock Of prayer,
The bulwark of the free.
And there thoy stooS each pilgrim brow
Was wan with grief and care,
And bent each manly form-but, oh.
Another sight was there;
Fond woman, with her sweet sad face,
All trembling, pale and chill
But oh T! there was in that lone place
sight more touching still
The check of childhood, pale with fear
And hushcd its voice of glec;
And they are gone, but we are here,
bulwark for the free.
Our pilgrim sircs are gone, yet still
nation in its pride
Hath poured DER every vale and hill,
In bright unbroken tide
And still their sons shall flood the land,
While that old rock appears,
Like a pilgrims spirit born to stand
The mighty wreck of years;
And oh while floats the wind and wave,
That hallowed rock shall be
The threshold of the good and brave,
The bulwark of the free.

hustle of city life, has retired into the coun-

his land, albeit well situated and command
ing sundry romantic prospects, is not so par
ticularly fertile as some we have seen, and
requires scientific culture and liberal manu-
ring, to induce an abundant yield. So much
oy way of explanation.
Once upon time, as the story books say.
our friend, being on short visit to this CITY,
attended an auction sale down town, and il so
happened that they were selling damaged saul
