PLANTING TREES.

As the proper season is now approaching
for transplantng trees, few hints to new
planters will not be out Of place.
l. Have your ground in good heart ant
see that it contains sufficient quantity o
the matter necessary TO the growth OF sucf
trees as you are about to plant. Apples re-
quirc lime, pears phosphate of lime, or bone
dust Good wheat land is well adapted t'
the growth of apples, and poor soil SHOULD
never be laid out for an orchard
.. Let the land be high lowlands are liza
bic to spring ffosts, and the fruit blossoms
arc often blighted by them. High situations
are also more easily drained. which is abso
utoly essential to the well-being Of the trees
g. Pillow the land deep before planting. A
slight scarilying Of the soil will do no good
Dig the holes for the trees deep, if the grounc
is not naturally loose. Fill up, with the
surface soil around the roots, placing each
rootlot in the most natural position DO moi
use any barnyard manure.
4. In selecting trees. choose such varieties
as are Of well-known excellence, and that arc
adapted to your peculiar locality. Young
heating plants are better than large ones, and
bear removal much better. A large tree costs
more in the nursery, but the small one, Will
like care, will in few years often outgrow it
). The shorter time your plants are out o.
the ground the more likely they viii be tC
live. If the rootlots are not allowed to gel
dry. the tree will be almost sure to grow
but if these get dried up, the chance O
success is less Some trees will not bear ex.
posture Of their roots for any great length o.
time, and i've ,Slecfcd.

PRACTICAL HINTS TO AMATEURS

Don't let insects of various kinds overrun
your orchard or garden, and then lazlly fold
your arms and say "lts no use, this trying
to raise things, now that SO many vermin are
about" Spend three days indnstriously, in
the early stage of the matter, in putting down
the rascas, and then look around you and see
if little industry is not better than grum-
bling.
If you have tree that grows "apace" but
won't bear, dig trench around it, and cut
off a third of the roots This will check its
growth and set it about making fruit buds.
Do not grudge the cost and labor necessary
to plant few of the best shade trees round
your house; and if you have any doubts a
bout what to plant. stick in an elm. There
are few trees in the world finer than fine
weeping elm and two or three of them will
give even a common looking dwelling look
of dignity Ii you plant fruit trees for shade,
they are likely to be broken to pieces for the
fruit, and they grow unsightly by the time
that forest trees grow spreading and umbra-
geous There are very few men whose friends
build so fair a monument of their memory, as
they can raise with their own'hands, by plant
ing an elm or a maple where it can grow for
Il century, to be an ornament to the country.
Don't be afraid to clip hedges, or cut back
young trees, when you are planting them
You gain more growth than you lose, though
you may not be able to comprehend it till you
have seen it with your own eyes.
Never work your ground in wet weather if
you can avoid it, as it makes it clod-like and
compact by forcing the air out. And ridge
up your kitchen garden ground before winter,
so as to expose as much surface as possible to
the action of the frost.
Never lose the opportunity of getting sods
from the corners of old pastures, or the break
ing up of commons or meadows, where they
can be spared. Placed in heaps and rotted
they make excellent mould for tender plant,
or trees.
Never buy fruit trees in the "market pla
ces' of unknown vendors who have no char
acter to lose, You cannot tell by ''examnin.
the article whether they cheat you or not
and you get your trees at half price, only t.
wish, when they come to bear, that you hat
gone to an honest dealer and paid ten time
as much for something worth planting
Collect from about your neighborhood al
the bones that are thrown away as useless b
persons ignorant of their value

THE BORER.

person residing in North Carolina gives
the following mode of destroying the borer.
which he has found safe and certain remedy,
if rightly applied -
Take the pickle in which meat has been
salted, or dissolve as much salt as will dis
solve in water. Make a small cavity in the
earth at the root of the tree-one that holds
quart for small tree-pour the pickle on
the tree about six inches above the ground.
so that it may run down all round the tree.
and stand little, so as to soak the bark Of
the tree aud kill the worms Urine answers
the same purpose we'll This should be done
in the spring as soon as the frost is out of the
ground and again in July"
Mr.. n. A. Bacon of New Haven, in the
Hartford Homestead, gives his experience with
the borer as iollows--
my practice has been to lay bare the trunk
of the tree some three OF four inches below
the surface of the ground, then remove with
knife any grubs, white with brown head.
there may be in the tree--then take strir

three inches above and the same distance be
low the surface Of the ground, and tie il t,
its place with wooden yarn, or other elastic
string. The eggs which produce the worn
are deposited by the parent at the surface o
the earth near the tree, and, as the worn
when hatched, is unable to penetrate tn,

tenance, il perishes--as suppose-at an,
rate none Of my peach trees, protected as a
boye stated, have been injured by the borer

The above applies to peaches, but may b
equally good for other fruit trees.

For the Waterman.
800 90 GRAPE PREMIUM.

SlOU w GhAIE 0Ns
Mr. Charles H. Dana of West Lebanon,
New Hampshire, places at the disposal Of the
New Hampshire State Agricultural Society
one hundred dollars; to be awarded to the
person who will present the best kind of
Grape for garden or vineyard culture, in this
climate.
That the Committee may be able to judge
correctly Of the merits of each kind present
ed-they should be planted in the same local
ity and receive tho same cultivation
Mr.. Dana proposes to conduct such an cX-
pertinent himself by planting and cultyating
all the kinds offered for this premium.
New or rare kinds of Grapes, sent to Mr..
Dana free of expense to him, will be entered
in competition for the premium.
Roots are preferred but cuttings will am
swer Cuttings of two inches in length
may be sent by mail; the ends should be
sealed and the cuttings wrapped in damp pa
per.
The list will be open for competitors dur
ing the months of April and May, 1859.
In the autumn of the second year after
planting the premium will be awarded.
In case the same kinds of Grape should be
offered by different competitors, OF in case
different kinds should prove of equal excel
lence, the Committee will be at liberty to di
vide the premium, or otherwise award it at
their discretion
Mr.. Dana having communicated to me his
intention to make the foregoing offer of a
premium ! am happy to recommend his lauda-
bic attempt to extend and improve the culture
of the Grape to all the lovers Of this deli
cous fruit.
The failure of the peach and the plum and
the great uncertainty of the pear, and recently
of the finer kinds of the apple, also, in the
valley of the Connecticut, and the fact that
our soil seems natural to the Grape and has
proved capable OF producing it in abundance,
and Of great excellence. shows Mr. Dana's
offer Of premium to be very judicious and
timely. while his personal character is a suili-
Client guaranty that the experiment will be
conducted with fidelity and honor.

CULTIVATION or POTATOES.


Mr.. EprroE last spring tried an OK
pertinent in raising potatoes. ! had piece
Of ground that was very poor and sandy
On one half Of the piece ! applied manure,
ON the other half straw. When | came TO
dig the potatoes from the patch to which
straw had been applied, found scarcely a
potatoc that was rotten, while on the other
piece which had been MANFRED, great many
OF the potatoes were affected
] am convinced that straw plowcd in carly
in the spring win produce more potatoes, and
larger, than the same land would produce if
covered with fine rotten manure.
Potatoes should be planted as early as pos
shlo, as they will not rot SO bad as they
would if planted later. do not plant small
potatoes as ! think it makes the crop smaller,
neither do put as many eyes in hill as
a great many do. Too many "eyes" make

off, and leave the bark Of the tree clean and

similar way, save that a wooden cloth should
be substituted for the brush, in applying the
suds, and rubbing the brush.
