SETTING TREEs.-In some very warm
and dry situations, it will now do 10 trans.
plant trees, but generally, it will not an
swer for some days yet TO come. The best
rule we can recommend, in relation 10 time.
is, that it should moi be done ill the ground.
where they are 10 be set, is in a good con.
dltlon for planting corn. II set earlier, the
earth settles in too compactly about the
roots, and they do not do SO well. If the
getting of fruit soon is an object, select
good sized, vigorous, healthy Trees, even
though the cost may be more. The fruit
from such trees will more than pay the diff.
ference in cost, before The small or inferior
trees will bear. The roots should be care
fully examined, and where cut off by the
spade in taking up, or otherwise marred.
they should be cut off clean and smooth
with sharp knife. This gives them a
chance 10 heal over readily, when, If il is
not done, they may remain in diseased
state Tor long time, to the great injury Of
The tree. Trees do best that have been
transplanted in the nursery. They gener-
ally form considerable mass of fbrous
roots near the body, which assists their
growth greatly when removed. Such will
frequently grow nearly as well after removal
as if suffered to remain where they were.
II is very essential to success IN trans
planting. that too much top should moi be
left on the tree. The root is necessarily
reduced considerably, and the top should
be reduced rather more in proportion than
the root. This is generally best done, not
by cutting out the limbs, but by taking off
from the ends Of the branches all but two
or three buds Of the last years growth. If
there arellimbs which need removing, it may
oe done, but it is best not to cut them very
close, so that after the tree gets we'll a
growing it may be cut again, and then it
will heal over better.-N. II. Farmer.

Preparing Seed Corn.

The following information we republish
from the Waterman for October, 1876. A
subscriber of ours followed the prescription,
and got $50 bushels Of corn more for il. ac-
cording TO his own estimate, from field oil
20 acres. Waterman Of the Valley.
Mr. Loring Wetmore, an experienced
Pennsylvania farmer, states that he has had
his corn crop increased about SO per cent.
by a simple preparation Of the seed, as fol.
lows:
AT noon of the day before planting, 18th
of May, (says Mr.. W. | put my seed corn
to soak in strong decoction Of copperas
waier-say two pounds Of copperas TO warm
soft water, sufficient to cover a bushel OF
corn. The next morning took out peck,
added a pint or more Of soft soap, stirred il
thoroughly, then put on plaster enough to
make it convenient TO drop for planting,
say one quart. The whole field was plant
ed with seeds thus prepared, except four
rows which were planted with seed without
any preparation. The after culture of the
whole was alike-passng through each way
with the culliyator and hoeing twice. The
four rows last mentioned we're cut up, har-
vested, and the corn weighed and measure
ed by itself; also four rows next adjoining,
the seed oil which had been prepared as
above.
The produce OF the four rows Of unpre-
pared seed was eleven bushels and half
the produce Of the four rows from the pre-.
pared seed was seventeen bushels--a differ
ence of FIVE and half bushels Of ears in |
one hundred and twenty hills. The yield
of the remainder Of the field averaged fully
equal 10 the four best rows measured.
The difference in the growth and appear
ance Of the corn Of prepared and unprepar-
ed seed was striking from the time Of its
appearance above ground until it tasseled-
the former looking green and vigorous, the
latter puny aud yellow. 1t was all cut
down by the frost when about three inches
high, but came on finely after the first of
June. There was scarcely soft ear in
the whole field, excepting on the four rows
of unprepared seed. These were about
week later in ripening than that from the
prepared seed. The soil is a sandy loan.
The whole expense Of preparing the bushtl
and three pecks Of seed did not exceed 90
cents The increased produce Of the field,
by preparing the seed, was over 200 BUSH
els Of ears.

Jayne's Expectorant.

This medicine has already proved itself to be
all that it has been recommended, by those who
have given ita fir test in this country, and the
demand for it increases daily. We have just
heard Of an important cure Of Asthma, which has
been effected by the use Of it, in neighboring
town--the case was that of female who had for
Il long time been under the care of II physician but
had received no relief, and her case was consd-
cred hopeless. As a last resort she purchased n
bottle of DR.. Jayne's Expectorant, which caused
her to expectoraie freely, gradually ceased her
cough, aud is rapidly restoring her to health. We
have no hesitation in saying that this preparation
Of DIR. Jayne for cure ofcoughs, colds, influenza
asthma, consumptions, SC. is the most valuable
medicine ever offered TO the Americas public
I here Is no quackery about it--Dr Jayne is one
Of the most sSifal practising physicians in Penn
sylyania; and wherever his various preparations
have been thoroughly tested, he is looked upon as
great public benelactor.-Somerset (Me.) Jour
