PLANTING APPLETREEs.-C. S. Murray, Foster S
Crossings late Twenty Mile Stand, Warren County,
Ohio adds the following TO directions about plant
ing appletrees which viii fer ali other tree
planting:
Instead of planting a tree in hole however
well prepared, | would stir all the ground TO the
deph the roots are expected TO run. New
ground recently cleared of forest, is best for the
growth Of frui-trees. The decaylng Of the roots
of the predecessors, gives entrance and nourlsh-
ment for the SUCCESSOR But when vandalism has
made it necessary to start trees in hardened ground
artificial means must he used to make peryious con-
dition for the new generation of roots.
"My way is, to plow and subso as deeply as con-
venent-from fifteen to eighteen inches If possible
This with the compost distributed throughout, will
make a rootbed preferable, in my estimation, 70 the
mpervous basin full Of compost II the trees do not
start so rapidly, they will probably hold out better.
"THE tribune is commercially an advocate OF
substituting horsepower for man-pOwer. My process
is in agreement with this philosophy. The planting
with Flowing and snbsoilng, requires fs less manual
labor than the partial preparation by digging holes
"When the ground is prepared with the p!ows
measure the distance for rows, and mark each way
with two-horse plow. This done, two effective men,
understanding their business, can set three to four or
five hund,sd trees in day. When the trees are set
they should stand ~ high in relation 70 the surface
if they had grown naturally. ..
az This high planting had been practiced by myself
and sons long before we heard OF Russell Comstock
Who goes about claiming two dollars FOR this and other
secrets which out in the world before they were
in his head"

SWEET PoTAToEs.-" VIII il answer TO plant sweet
cession 7"
Yes; several times seven; il you add every year
the necessary pabulum for their growth; and so will
any o,her crop. The best soil for sweet potatoes is
very sandy loan, lately cleared Of its forest growth
Now is not that a sufficient hint to you, Of what viii
be necessary for you do alter the first two or three
crops have exhausted the decayed vegetable matter
which was in the soil But more Of the same sort Of
substance upon the land, and may be plowed an in
definite number of years. II you cannot get the de-
eayed wood, you get well-prepared compost, and

MODERATION RKcoAMENDED.-A citizen and

observer OF the sayings and doings of our city
fathers at their different meetings. would respect
fully invite their attention to that excellent maxim
and Scriptural rule: Let your moderation be

serVance OF this sound and excellent maxim must
have been apparent to the readers Of your munich
pal reports for several weeks past, especially to
those reports which sketch the discussions in the
Board of Aldermen. There now appears in that
branch OF our cipal Legislature two opposite
and hercely-oPposing parties-one assuming to be
par sLcsHsnce the Mayors friends, the other avow-
ing themselves to be in decided opposition to sew
eral OF his prominent measures Now without
deciding upon the merits dement's of those Of
hcial acts which have become the subject Of recent
and heated controversy, allow me, as a citizen
well disposed not only TO the Mayor but to every
member Of the City Councils, To suggest that mod
Grafton In debate is great virtue, and that its re-
verse is productive Of bad feeling and destructive
Of that harmonious and discreet action which is
essential to wise and dgnitied legislation, which.
In short, ought to pervade and characterize every
deliberative body.
