CARE OF HORSES.

Mr.. EDITOR This is subject that should
require the attention of all who have the
charge Of horses, so as to understand the
treatment which will best subscrve his ends,
namely, of having the horses to look well and
feel in goodsririts. The fall of tie year. is,
If all the seasons the hardest on the horse.
The weather is changing from hot to coll, and
the autumn winds, which are particularly
hurtfnl TO his constitution, make his coat
rough and his joints stiff, so that he no long
cr seems the horse he was in warm weather.
lie should therefore during this change be
particularly well taken care Of. by being
cleaned twi;c day, and fed regularly three
times a day and in greater quantities than
through the summer. Many do not cover
their horses when left to stand but thinking
by leaving them uncarcd for in that way,
they will harden the constitution of the ami
mails under their charge. This is entirely
mistaken notion, MS the effect is delete,ious to
the animal. They might for the same reason
expose themselves by going out insutlicicntly
clothed, or Ivy getting heated or wet, and
then stand out in the cold winds until they
are dry The horse in many respects is like
human being, and ifcxtremcs Of heat and
cold affect one, it will certainly affect the 9th.
en-. SO useful an animal should therefore be
carti!!l,' used and well provided for, and by
ludIclous care in cleaning, watering, &C..
much may be saved in the way of grain and
hay.
1t is said with much truth, that a horse
will look better on a moderate feed. if w,ll
cleaned, than on one-third more if entirely
neglected. Germantown Telegraph.

CHARCOAL FOR WHEAT.

There arc many instances on record. going
most conclusivcly to demonstrate the very
high value of charcoal as manure for wheat.
We scarcely, indeed. take up an agricultural
publication in which its efficiency, as slim
ulent is not rendered apparent by the most
convincing and undesirable facts. late
writer in the LewiSLug Chronicle, in some
remarks upon this subject, says "a few
days since, in Company with Mr.. Jacob Dorr,
Of East Buffalo, | visited spot OH the land
of my brother; John Dorr ON which the ex-
ccllcnt effects of charcoal were plainly visi-
bic. Before reaching the spot, noticed the
beautiful bright green of the wheat in the
lower part Of the field, even at this season
the dead of winter-and remarked Mr. Dorr
that that must be the spot. lie stated that
he had not visited it for a number Of years.
but was under the impression that it was
higher up the field. When we arrived at the
spot Of beautiful green wheat, we found. in
decd, that it was the locality of the charcoal.
In some places the soil was black with coal
and the wheat plants were very large and
healthy. Their appearance is very fine, and
they can be seen srom all parts of the field,
so superior are they to those surrounding
them" 1t appears from the communication,
that some fifty or sixty years ago, black
smith shop occupied this spot and near it was
coal pit. This accounts for the presence of
the coal, but not !or The continued and undi.
nIlnlShed fertility and surprising productive
NESS Of the soil enriched by it.
But 1t Is well known TO many of your read.
crs, no doubt, that charcoal is, in it's nature,
nearly indcStructibIe. 1t remains in the soil
for generations without scarcely any precep-
tblc change or alteration. anu when applied

HElDiNG-IN TRANSPLANTED
TEEES.

We are toll by our bcst vegetable physi-
olngiStS, that the top branches Of tree arc
always IN proportion to the growth or spread
ofitS rootS-that this top or head is just as
large and vigorous as the roots will allow. or
are capable ofnourishing Now, it is next
impossible to take uptre,s. particularly when
they nave attained Considerable size, without
inluring the root To n greater orlcss extent
Even the most careful d,ggcrs can scarcely
avoid doing this, much less the persons gencr-
ally employed about nurseries,. where the
operation ofdi2ginS is some ofalmost continued
haste. Such beng the case. docs it not appear
unreasonable that Il head or top, which
formerly taxed the nourishing powers of the
mol!~'t" their utmost capacity, Gun be MAIN
Famed i'll full yIgor when those roots have
lost not only many of their i'm. ,orant fbrcs,
but frequently large portions of the main roots
themselves! Tn addition to this. it requires
some time after transplanting, however well
it may fn performed for the roots to recover
their energies sufficiently to bring their func-
tons into full play. How then is the head to
be supported in the meanwhile? 1t occurs to
MS that it should be curtailcd sufficiently to
allow for the damage sustained by the root.
1t may be difficult to determine precisely
where to begin and where to leave off this top
piuning but there is far greater danger to
dread too little cutting. than too much
Damage from the first is much more frequent
than from the last.
IL it Be asked how we arc to manage with
trees which cannot be pruned without dalnag
to their symmetry, can only say that this
difficulty must be met By extra pains in taking
up. Or ifan explanation be demanded of
the reason why root pruning is SO frequently
recommended by pomologists in vigorous
trees, while above. the injurious effects of
curtailing the roots Of tree about being trans
planted, is attempted to Be shown, reply
will he found in the following extract from
Downing:
Root pruning has the effect of at once cut
ting off a considerable supply of the nourish-
mcnt formerly afforded by the roots of tree.
The roots, losing part Of their usual food. are
neither able to grow as luxurianly as before,
Eor to use all the nutritious matter already in
the branches: the branches therefore become
more stuntcd in their growth, the organizable
matter accumulatcs, and fruit buds are di-
rrtly formed. The energies of the tree are
10 longer carried off in growth, and the re-
turning sap is employed in producing fruit
buds for the next year"
In transplanting, all the powers of the roots
nc required to prevent the tree from perish
ing, or at least suffering injury from the
damage sustained in digging, therefore, the
pruning Of the head should, as far as is ascer-
tainable, be in proportion to the curtaimcnt
of the roofs.
