D1REcTIoNs FOR TRANsPLANTING AND Gull
r1yAr1NG FRUIT TREEs.-Previous to purchas-
ing your trees, see that you have suitable
quantity of compost or manure to answer your
purpose. Then commence operations by Dig
cling at the distances fixed upon, holes four feet
in diameter and two feet deep; carefully reno
wing all the subsoil, and supplying its place by
a mixture of manure or compost, and good nch
SOIL until it is filled sufficiently to raise the col
lar of the tree three inches above the level OF
the surrounding surface, which amount it will
afterwards settle, and then the roots are in their
natural position. Next take your tree and with
a very sharp knife, trim off and pare smoothly
every mangled root then spread the roots out
and fill up very carefully with soil, jaring the
tree two or three times with the hand by strik-
ing, but avoid pulling up and down and tramp
ing the soil about the roots. To protect them
then from the summer drouth, cover the ground
for two feet around them with coarse litter to
the depth of six inches, secured by two or three
rocks or sticks of wood; your tree will require
no further attention the first summer except an
occasional bucket of water or soap suds.
The yearly afterculture, if you wish your trees
perfect in growth and fruit, will consist in fork
ing over the ground regularly not forgetting an
annual supply of manure and mulching.
Mr.. O'Brien, if you consider the above sub
ject adapted to your paper, will hereafter furn-
ish you with an article on promoting the early
productiveness of fruit trees. HORTUS.

CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF GYPSUM AND ITS Eff
FEcrs AS APPLIED to AGRICULTURE.-Gypsum
or Plaster of Paris is found in three geographi-
cal positions in the crust of the earth; among
the transition rocks; in the red mari formation;
and above the chalk in the tertiary beds. Pure
Gypsum consists of lime, 80; sulpburic acid,
Al, and water, 81 per cent. 1t is soluble when
reduced to an impalpable powder; in 400 times
Its weight of water.
There are two theories in regard to the ac-
ton of gypsum on the soil and vegetation; the
first advocated by Prof Davy is, that it enters
into solution or is dissolved by the rain water,
and in this state is absorbed by the roots of rap
id growing leguminous plants. Gypsum acts
in the same general way, as the phosphate and
carbonate of lime, salts which are made apt to
enter the tissues of plants by the carbonic acid
which is found in all the water that falls from
the clouds and that moistens the soil, and which
has the property of dissolving small quantities
of them But while the strength of these solu-
tons, weak at all times is liable through atmos-
pherical vicisitudes to vary,when the mere traces
of saline matter which at best they offer at any
time are inadequate tomeet the demands ofacrop
disposed TO grow rapidly and luxuriantly,
such as clover peas, and other legumes,
the solution of sulphate of lime, of the same
strength at all times and under all circumstan-
ces, is ready to supply the plants with the min
eral substance they require, however rapid and
vigorous their growth. b.
