Treatment Of Trees.

In passing along our street, we no,
tice the different treatment bestowed
on trees. Some are left altogether
unprotected, so that the first NANCY
COW that comes a~long--and our city
is running full of such--will rub
against them, and bend them over, or
at least loosen them at the roofs
About the trunk, rank grass and weeds
are growing, afording hot beds for
bugs. worms, and all manner of noy-
ious insects. These we call vagrant,
neglected, begging trees, and their
chances are about as good as those Of
vagrant children. We would almost
venture the assertion, that the child
c and trees Of those persons are
treated alike, and will come to about
the same end.
There is another class Of trees be-
longing to, and representing a differ
ent class ~ofpeople. The trees arc well
protected against vagrant COWS, and
the horses of thoughtless people
The grass and weeds are carefully re.
moved from the trunk, thus keeping
off all grubs that har5or in old turfs.
But there Is one objection to this scoop.
ing out the earth from the trunk. 1t
is done to catch the water, and it does
this, but it turns the water from the
ends of the roots, where it is needed,
to the trunk, where it is not needed.
The mouths Of the tree are in the lit
tie threadlike roots, and not in the
trunk. Put your food and drink where
the mouth %is--you might as we'll feed
a nan through his heels, as feed tree
through the trunk.
The best way to treat trees is, if
they stand exposed on the street, 70
guard them well with enclosures
which will keep off horses and COWS,
and which will not chafe the bark du-
ring windy weather then thoy should
be carefully mulched, as follows I'm
this season Of the year, loosen the
earth around each tree several feet,
rake out all the grass and weeds, to
prevent turf forming; p%ulyerizo the
soil thoroughly to receive and retain
the moisture; crown it gently towards
the trunk, leaving q small trench
around the circumference. This will
tend to carry the moisture and nour-
ishmcnt towards the rootIots. Then
ii your trees stand in tho yard, or
you can plant these bare circu-
lar spots of ground with any kind of
slow ANIMALS, such as candy tufts, flu
mitories, portulaccas, sweet alyssa,
pansies, trailing verbonas, &c. Thus
you will enlarge your flower space,
and the constant cultivation of these
flowers will keep the ground about
yonr trees beautiful, and in the best
growing order. When the season ad-
vances, you can mulch with grass OF
leaves, and in this way you will have
thrifty trees.-OAjo Eaymor.

When the flower expands fully, we
are not to expect rain for several

MEASURING HAY.-The editor OF
the New Jersey Farmer gives his
rule, based on a large experience, for
measuring hay. lie formerly weigh.
ed his hay but repeated trials taught
him that it was unnecessary. Take a
NOW which has lain through the win
ter, and ascertain It's amount in cubic
feet, multiplying its width by its
depth, and that product by its length
and divide by 700, and the q%uotient
gives the number oftons. The upper
third takes 500 feet to the ton; the
lower 600 feet, making the mean 700
feet. II the NOW is only five or six
feet deep, however, it takes an aver
age Of 800 feet to the ton.
