A New MANURE. Robert Bryson, ESQ. of
Cumberland county, about eight miles from Har.
risburg, has been experimenting for the last ten
years, to make exhausted tan bark available and
valuable as manure. Besides his magnificent
farm, ne likewise carries on the tanning business.
Finally, after great deal of expense and MANY
failures, he has succeeded in discovering meth.
cd OF producing from the tan an efficient azure.
This is his plan: He has his tan wheeled out
on to level piece Of ground, and leveled off,
two or three feet thick. Over this he spreads
layer of two or three inches of lime, and over
that again strata of tan-then layer OF lime,
and so on. He lets the bed so prepared remain
Tor two years; at the end OF that time he finGs
himself in possession OF bed OF manure the eff
fects OF which upon the land can hardly be snr-
passed, for the richness Of its product, and the
durable fertility which itimparts.
We shall endeavor TO obtain from Mr.. Bryson
more particular account OF his method.

length been made. Like all other great discoy.
eres it is simple and easily applied. and at the

Take small mouth fulls. Cut bread, sauce,
pudding, everything you eat, into small parcels,

haste is entirely precluded. Try it and you will
be astonished at the simplicity and potency of it's

Insurance Decision. A decision OF some i'm
portance in reference to assurances has been
made by the Supreme Court, In Boston. A
house was insured and burnt down. Instead OF
paying the amount insured $4,000 dolars,) the
Company chose to put up another just like it,,
which they did for $l450. Before the policy
run out, the new building was burnt, and the
owner brought an action to recover the balance
OF the $4,000. The Court held that in land risks,
where the sum insured is not limited in the poll
cies, the insurers liable for any number of
losses the premises may sustain; and when the
sum is limited, they are liable to the amount
specified, without regard to the number OF times
the buildings may have been burnt In the
present case, therefore, the company was liable
for the balance OF $4,000, that is to say, $3.50.

TRANsPLANTING EvERGREENs. 1t seems
not to be very material whether evergreen tree
are transpanted in April, May, or June. They
may be made 10 live in either OF these months
when they are properly taken up and set; and
as it is all important to take up a sod with the
tree it may be well 10 transplant this kind ear
ly in the season before ploughing commences.
1t is not necessary to take up long root with
FIR, hemlock, or a pine; but it is absolutely
necessary to take up sod with the roots; and
sods will adhere to them better at this season of
the year than when the earth is more dry
There is not much risk in taking frs from good
nurseries, for the multitude OF hbrous roots that
are found in every direction hold enough earth
to insure thor growth. But pines or frs taken
from forests have but very few roots, and they
need more care.
The bark that covers the roots Of pines and 9th.
er evergreens is very thin and tender, and when
the trees are pulled up and set, as we set apple
trees, the bark comes off, and not one tree in If
ty survives. Long roos are not needed, and the
trees may be taken up by cutting around at a
distance OF twelve inches from the trunk when
that's not more than FIVE feet in height
These trees and clumps of earth may be set
when the earth is wet, for there is not the same
need OF spreading out the roots and keeping
them separate as there is when trees are taken
up without earth. Yet it is important in all ca.
ses to keep the earth loose, and light, and free
from weeds around them.
