PLANT TREES !
TRANSFORMING TREES.

AN-AANaA l44A4N 4 INV iAlalsN.
LIST. In planting trees let the holes be dug
three feet wide lin ground which is mellow
by good cultiyation) and twenty inches deep
fill the hole with top soil, so that the tree
will stand little higher than II grow in the
nursery If the tree is to be planted in grass
land, the hole should be dug six feet across
and one and half OF two feet deep: the sods
should be placed at the bottom, aud then fin
up to the proper depth to sccciye the tree
with well pulyerized soil
ID. Prune off the end Of all bruised roots.
and recuse the top Of il if too large, which
operation should be governed by its relative
size to the root, and also having regard TO
symmetry of shape, when the branches arc
symmetrical, it may be sufficient to shorten
in the last years growth to two or three buds.
Sd. Place the tree in the hole extending all
the roots and fibres, and ill up with fine, pull
verified top soil, excluding all sods. LARGO
stones, or manure from coming in contact
with the roots. Take hold of the tree and
shake it gently, up and down. so as to let the
fine earth fill all vacant places between and
under the roots, fill up and pour pailful OF
water over the roots to insure every fibre he
ing in contact with moist soil, after which
level up again, leaving the ground around the
tree two inches higher than the level of the
field, to allow for settling.
4th. If the planting is done in the spring
cover the ground at least three feet from III,
tree each way, and six inches deep, will
stable litter or other good mulching, which
should not be moved till fall, when a noun,
of earth should be thrown up against the tire,
a foot high or more, which will keep the tire,
steady and the roots from injury by frost
and also be the best possible security from
any injury by mice
If the planting is done in the fall. throw
up the cone Of earth as above, and in the
spring level down and mulch in the sam,
manner as in spring planting. Trees planted
and mulched as here advised will not reouir,
watering, even in times Of severe drouth.
9Th. The ground should be cultivated viii
hoed crops for a number of years, and manur
ed annually. If the ground is wet. il shoult
be thoroughly drained. The pillow should NOT
: be allowed to touch the roots of the trees
but loosen the earth around the tree, afte,
the blowing is finished, with spade.
CAUSE oP FAILURE AND REMEDY.
II is usually the case that careful person,
lose more or less trees after lransplanting, re-
sulting from various causes, which are bur
little understood by the majority of cultva
Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1858-04-23

tors of trees and fruit propose noticing a
few Of these causes, and the best method to
avoid such losses
The principal cause Of the failure Of trans
planting fruit trees. believe to be the effect
Of severe winters on the trees that have grown
late in the autumn, and consequently the
young wood not being sufficiently ripened be
fore the setting in Of winter, the vitality of
the wood is wcakcnod--not SO much as to
check its growth materially. if allowed to re-
main undisturbcd-bu add TO the shock 1t
has thus endured, that of its removal, the
roots having TO be cut and perhaps mutilated'
it is not to be wondered at that very many
trees should fail to grow, and others but
foebly Either one Of the difficulties taken
separately, would not ordinarily cause the
loss of three trees in a hundred, but combn-
ed the losses vary, even with the best care
and management, from five to fifty per cent
From several years experience in protect
ing halfhardy trees such as the moro tender
varieties of pears and cherries, confidently
recommend the following mode of treatment
of trees to be transplanted in this climate
Make a trench about foot deep, sloped
quite fiat on one side. making an elevation for
/ the stems and branches to rest on, then lay
/ in your trees as closely as possible, the roots
in the trench and the tops resting on the
slightly elevated bank Of earth, cover the
roots a foot deep, and the stems and branches
IigLHy with light sandy soil (say two inches. )
By this means they are uniniured by the rough
winters n the trees are large, or have large
branchcd heads, cover the stems only with
GARTH and few cvorgrcous placed over the
top branches Soon after the frost is out in
the spring, take them up carefully and plant
them in the best manner, and you will not
have to complain of many LOSSES for the trccs,
protected in this manner, viii have all the
vitality that they had on finishing up their
growth the previous autumn, and IL you bought
good healthy trees, they will make strong
growth .if well muchcd and cared lor1 and
the roots will become so we'll established
that they will be likely to endure without
any considerable injury
Sclcc, a dry spot, away from fences or bull
dings that would be- likely 20 cause heavy
snow drifts, as it is better to have the ground
freeze solid around them.

This statement discloses fully the manner in which
silver has been absorbed, and accounts for its in
creased scarcity and consequent increase of price
Congress recognised this fact in depreciating the
standard of silver coinage by the act of 1853
We are advised by own correspondents from
the western States that the crop of the country
which it was estimated last fall exceeded the yield
Of any previous year is suffering from extensive
rot and the same fact, observe, is mentioned by
some of our exchanges. The backward weather of
last spring delayed planting several weeks conse
quently the crop did not ripen until the season of
frost; winter set in while the grain was IN green

during November and December, the rot has be-
gun to show itself with much violence in the cribs
