Transplanting the White Pine.-Three
years ago, neighbor went half day s
journey and procured about 50 young
trees Of the white pine, from three to six
feet high, for the ornament Of his grounds.
The trees were taken up and set out with
ordinary care, with the removal Of no soil
upon the roots. Only two Of them are
now living, and one Of these is in quite .
doubtful state, as to life or death. About
the same time. the writer procured fifteen
trees Of the same species, from five to
twelve feet high, removing with them a
large cake Of earth, not frozen, suffi-
cient to keep them steady in the wind
without stalking. All Of them are now
living; most Of them growing vigorously

Pasture for swine.

The other day, while passing the farm
Of neighbor, we found him busily engag-
ed in removing some small trees from an
enclosure Of about an acre. On inquiry,
we found that he intended to test the effi-
cacy Of hog labor in eradicating that pest
Of all old and rich soils--couch or witch
grass-( Triiicun repeus, and that with .
view to this experiment he was removing
the trees. He had, he said, cultivated the
field for some years, but the grass had
made steady annual advances, and at last
its luxuriance had become so great that he
found it utterly impossible TO derive any
profit from it under the hoe. He had SCENT
stated in the papers, that swine were fatal
to witch grass, and notwithstanding that
there were, as before stated, several line.
and healthy young trees on the place, he
determined to transplant them, and give
the experiment fair trial. Hogs are
the best operatives that can be employed
in this business, as they not only destroy
the grass, bnt contribute essentially to tho
richness and fertility Of the soil on which
they operate. The long, librous roots Of
the Triiicum repe,s are peculiarly sweet
and succulent, and while one remains in
the soil, the hogs will keep at work IN
quest Of ii. On the subject of providing
pastures for swine the following from The
New York Cultivator, is deserving Of u.
tention: tHa
"A lot of land well seeded down 10 clo-
yer, is wanted by good culti,a.ors for pas
turing swine. The quantity Of land Is TO
be proportioned to the number Of swine
that may keep the grass from going TO
seed. This prevents waste, and the short
er the grass is the sweeter il will be, and
the more pleasant food for the animals Tor
whose use il is destined. The pig pas
ture sheuld have good supply Of water,
and running water is to be preferred 70
still water, but the latter is better than
none. Hogs should 'ni he permitted 70 run n
summer pasture till about the first Of Mays
and they should be ringed, Or the grissle Of
their noses should be shaved Of before
they are. allowed that liberty."--suaiae

S425,000. Mr.. Collins proposes to furnish lar.
ger and better ships, and to perform the same
vice for $4,000 year less compensation. Mr..
Sloo, Of Cincinnati proposes to build ten first class
steamships, Of 1900 tons, to cross the ocean as
times a year, four of them to run between New
York and New Orleans, stopping at the principal
places once a week, and from New Orleans to
Balize twice a month-the cost Of tho whole,
e5,0O0,000; the ships to be commanded by naval
officers and to carry four mdshipmen as watch
officers.
Ii seems to us, that, whether economy or the
efficiency of tins arm Of National Defence, be
considered, the proposed plan oforganizIng aPow-
erful Steam Marine, of which in time OF peace
the mercantile world will reap immense advan-
tages, and which in period of war will be found
so well adapted both to defensive and aggressive
operations, ought to be promptly adopted and en-
ergetically prosecuted. But we confess we have
very little hope that the present Administration,
which seems to be wholly inefficient except for
mischief, will make any serious effort 10 engraft
upon our system of National Defence this new
and powerful engine as well of attack as of de-
fence although its advantages have been so clear
ly demonstrated, and its greater cheapness so sa-
tisfactorly tested.
able to make room for Mr.. Kings admirable Re-
port, we have seized the occasion Of publishing
Phiios remarks, to apprize our readers briefly of
the character of the recommendations Of that do
cument, and to advert to few of the powerful
considerations by which their prompt adoption is
enforced.
