AVON DEEP PLANTING.-More than hall
the losses in orchard planting in America
arises from this cause, and the equally com.
mon enc Of crowding the earth too tightly
about the roots. No three should be plan

roots arc Stiied fOa the want Of cir, OF
starved by The poverty Of the soil at the
depth where they are placed. Il is much
better and more natural process in fact to

before, but standing on a little mound settles,

APPLES FOR HOGs.--Mr. Horace Good

tnunicatiOn to the Albany Cultiyator, says:
Lou. Jour.
/ have kept my hogs on apples every fall
and winter for ten years past. put rather
more meal with my apples than people us.
ually do when they boil potatoes but not
enough to keep the hogs alive if they had
NO apples. My hogs usually look better in
the spring than any Of my neighbours, that
are fed on potatoes. In fact they thrive
and keep fat all winter. | lay my apples
in large bin in my hog pen, let them freeze
when the weather becomes very cold, then
cover them up with rye straw and keep
them frozen all winter. When | want to
use them, | put them on my stove in large
pot kettle, let them be on just long enough
to take the frost out Of them, and feed them
to the hogs warm. Some people only turn
warm water on them and thus take out the
Frost Boiling or thawing them takes the
sOurness or acid all out of them, and rem.
ders them more palatabIe and nourishing.
l give each hog One-third of pailfnl of ap.
pies at time, three times day.

The Vaccinations OF MONARCHY -
A letter received at Washington, recently
by respectable gentlemen, from a mer.
chant in Vera Cruz dated April ,, in which
he remarked that the movements Of the
Mexican army towards Texas would dc.
pend upon advices then expected from
England, and which reached there very
shortly afterwards; whcIeupon the signals
for these operations we're given, and the re
suit Is now before the world. Il is argued
from this strong fact that Great Britain is
an actor behind the scenes IN this attempt
of Mexico.

HEALTH IN CAMPs--Dr. Beniamin Rash
was Surgeon General of the u. S. Army
during greater portion Of the revolution
airy war The following statement from
him may not he inappicable at the present
time:
The army when it lay in tents, was al.
way more sickly than when il lay in open
air; and It was always more healthy when
kept in motion than when it lay in an en-
campment.
Militia officers and soldiers who enjoyed
health during a campaign, were often seiz,
ed with feYers on their return to the rita
molliS, at their respective homes. There
was one instance of militia captain, who
was seized with commissions the first night
he lay on feather bed, after Wing seye-
raj months on a mntrass aud on the ground,
The fever was produced by the sudden
change in the manner of sleeping, living,
etc, 1t was prevented in many cases, by
the person lying a few nights after his re-
turn to his family, on a blanket before the
fire.
Those officers who wore flannel shirts or
waistcoats next to their skin, in general cs.
capped leyers and diseases Of all kinds.
Lads under 20 years Of age we're sub.
ject to the greatest number of camp dis.
eases.
The Southern troops are more sickly
than the Northern and Eastern troops.
The native Americans troops were
more sickIy than the European troops.
Men above 30 and 80 years old were
the hardest soldiers in the army. Per
haps this was the reason why the Eurape.
ans were more healthy than the Native
Americans they were more advanced in
life.
The troops from Maryand, Virginia, and
N. Carolina, sickened for the want Of salt
provisions. Their spirits were only to be
restored to them by means of salt bacon
| once saw a private in Virginia regi |
ment throw away his ration Of choice
fresh beef, and give seven shilings and |
SIX pence specie for pound of salt meat |
Most of suflsriugs and mortality in our
hospitals were occasioned not so much by |
actual want or scarcity of anything, as by |
the ignorance, negligence, etc, in provid.
ing necessarles for them. After the pur
veying and directing apartments were Sc.
peraled agreeable to the advice Of DR..
Monroe in the year 1878, very few of the
American army died in our hospitals.

GES'L TAYLoR.--A correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Inquirer says;
"On the 26lh ult, a friend Of mine vi.
sited Gen TayIor's tent at Point Isabel
He was introduced to a very plain, shabb-
4 y dressed old gentleman, of rather small
stature, near sixty years Of age, and who
looked by his hardy appearance as if he
had been camping out all his life. This
was the commander Of the army of occu.
patton. He has been 3S years in the SER
vice. One of his officers remarked that
old rs he is, he bears the fatigues and pri-
vations of the campaign better than any
man under him" He was polite, dignif.
ed, and in excellent spirits. His tent was
no larger or better than those Of the other
officers, and his table was his camp chest,
in which he carries his cooking utensils,
&C.. His plates were Tin pans, and his
cups (no sauccrS of course) his pannkins.
A small supply of brown sugar was kept
in tin canister, and not a piece OF crock
cry was to be seen. A party of six were
thus entertained in homeIy style, aud all
seemed 20 enjoy it abundantly."
WAR WITH THE CHERoKEEs.-We learn
from General Morse, of Natchitoches, that
an express had arrived at San Augustine,
and Sabine town, with orders from the To-
cal authorities Of Texas, to raise force to
repel an incursion of the Cherokees upon
the frontiers of Texas; and that compa.
les were being raised for that purpose, as
well as under the requisilon Of General
Taylor.
Serious opprehensions were entertained
that Mexican emissaries had been among
them, and that the whole tribe were in arms
against the United States.
Some years since the Cherokecs purcha.
sed land in Texas, for which they paid
$4,000 TO the agent Of N. York compa.
ny, and the authorities of Texas refused to
let them take possession Of it. Since that
period they have always been in a hostile
attitude; and the presumption was, they
would take advantage of the first opporlu-
nifty that presented 10 aveng9 their suppos.
ed wrongs. Bowles, chief of the nation
together with some others, were killed in
an ARRAY growing out of the Same cause;
aud Maj. Kaufman, now a member Of Con.
gress from Texas was wounded in the
same battle. ~. o. JeG
