TransplantInr Trees.


Major Frees, of the Germantown Tele
graph is always giving practical agriericul
tural advice. He now reminds his friends
not to overlook the present opportunity Of
transplanting trees, which can continue to be
done until the frost renders it impractible.
He says it should be remembered, how
ever, that the best time in autumn, to trans
plant fruit and ornamental trees Except ev-
ergreens1 Is as soon as the tree is done grow
ing, which is known BY the decay of leaves.
By putting out thus carly the small roots will
have time to grow and take hold of the earth
before cold weather sets in. Trees for trans
planting should be taken up with plenty of
root and with as little bruising rs possible.
The small roots should be especially unin-
jured, as they pernrm very important func-
tions. In planting dig the hole large and
deep; crumble the earth at the bottom
spread out the roots carefully mix well with
rich soil good proportion of compost or
manure yard serapings; make fine and fill
in with care; press down we'll; apply about
bucket Of water as the filling-in goes on,
unless after rain or the soil should be nat
urally moist --
Plant no tree deeper than it stood in the
nursery. After plautinglet the tree be firm
ly bound with leather or cloth of some kind
to prevent rubbing and barking A forkfull
on two f stable manure well placed over
the roots viii aid very much to protect the
tree against severe frost the first winter; and
intke spri6g, say the first of May, this should
be repeated as a mulching to protect the
tree against the heat and droth. When
the soil is clayeT loam, lies low, and is
disposed to be.wetor heavy, spring planting
isto be preferred. Butwhere the soil is dry,
porous, partalling Of silicious nature, and
not subject to undue moisture, early autumn
- generally approved, especially for the
planting of large trees. Evergreensshould
never be moved in autumn. If these short
and simple practical directions are followed
iand they should Sc preserved for reference)
there will be no failure.

HINFs FoR THE SEASON.

/. There are some unsightlv spots in the
road near your house. Drain them; fl
them up with hard earth. stones or brush
You nav thus have good road in the win.
ter-otherwise you will have series of mud
holes.
II. Have you drawn good supply of ma
nurc, mixed with old lime, into your orchard,
and dug It carefully in. under your apple
trees9 If not, and there is time, do 81
now, and you will not be sorry two years to
come.
III Have you prepared a fine drv place
in your cellar, or some chamber, for your
winter fruit9 If you live in 0hio, or in tho
West, you have not probably, a great Slinplv.
You need to be careful of it. 1t will bring
agood price before spring. Usethe poorest.
worm eaten fruit now--a largo part of such
fruit may bevery good for present use. In
preparing it for use, remove all the decaved
portions and he sure to kill the worms. IF
not, they will creep into some retreat, live
through the winter, and come nextspring in
the shape Of miIlerS, to lay eggs in the Young
apple, and be the parents of multitudes of
apple worms announcer year,
". See that your cel'ar-drain is in good
condition If not, YOU may find, when the
rain comes, that it is cloggcd. You may
then have the annoying alternative of open
ing drain in wet, freezing weather, or
having a.cellar with water in it all winter,
and the certainty of damaged cellar walls
besides
V. If the dry weather continues while
longer, you may continue fall plowing. if
you have any more to do. Very probably
you have, for we never knew farmer who
was entirely ready for winter, when winter
came. Be as ready for it as you can.
VI Have you any stacks, or ricks Of hay,
that you design to summer over, or even
till springl If so, We think it will pay to
put thach-cap on themg Find-some man
who understands this work, if you cannot do
it well Yourself and put hoods on them all;
you will have more hay, and better hay in
the stack as the result. ~---
VII. You are going to kill your cattle and
hogs for your supply Of beef and pork, in
the next month or two. Sec, then, that
your heefa pork tubs are well hooped
and what is quito as important, well scald-
ed, and made perfectly sweet. 1t is humb-
ling, as well as annoying, to lose tub of
meat from little carelessness in this way.
VIII. Possibly you have some work to
do yet in transplanting trees. While the
weather remains dry, it may be better done
than in the spring. Apple trees, and shade
trees Of all kinds, except evcrgreens, may be
dealt with successfully now. We have spok-
en- of this before; we do so again, because
It may be Of use to some one to hear it once
more.-Okio Farmer.

TrnnspIanIinG.

The best time to transplant fruit trees is
in autumn and spring. In autumn, when
the growth has entirely ceased, and the
leaves begin to drop, until the ground freez,
es up, and in tho spring as soon as the
ground is open until the buds begin to ex-
pand into leaves. Unless with tender trees,
which should be set in spring; it is unim-
portant whetherit be done in autumn or
spring, the great requisite for success being
good cultivation afterwards. -Transplanted
stocks or trees should grow one summer
first and recover something of their vigor be-
fore grating. The common blue plum is a
good stock for the fine grated sorts.

AN AFFECTING INcrDENT.-The Zion

affecting incident which occurred at the con-
cert Of the Sabbath school in North Russell

Ling. After various addresses, lady rose
and asked to speak to the children.-After
speaking Of her own early life, she describ.

school, but who were now in deep poverty
through the intemprance Of their father
The children were recognized by those who
listened to her as her own. A collection
was taken up on the spot for them. The
father once stood high as minister of the
gospel, but has fallen victim of the intoxi,
