Planting Trees.

As the proper season Is now APP
preaching for transplanting trees,
few hints to new planters will
not be out ofplace.
l. Have your ground III good
heat, and that it contains a suf
ticient quantity of the matter neces'
sary to the growth of such trees as
YOU are about to plant. Apples
require lime, pears phosphate OF
lime, or bone dust. Good wheat
land is well adapted to the growth
of apples, and poor soil should
never be laid out for an orchard.
II. Let the land be high; low
land is liable to spring frosts, and
the fruit blossoms are often blight
ed by them. High situations are
also more easily drained, which is
absolutely essential to the well-be-
ing of the trees.
III. Plough the ground deer
before planting. A Slight scarify
ing of the soil will do no good
Dig the holes for the tees deep
if the ground is nos naturally loose
Fill up with the surface soil around
the roots, placing each rootlet il
the most natural position. Do not
use any barnyard manure.
". In selecting trees, choose
such varieties as are of well-knowr
excellence, and that are adapted
to your locality. Young, healthy
plants are better than large ones
and bear removal much better
A large tree costs more in the
nursery, but the small one, with
like care, in few years, often out
grown it.
V. The shorter time your plants
are out of the ground, the more
likely they will be to live. If the
rootlets are not allowed to get dry,
the tree will be almost sure to
grow; but if these get dried up,
the chance ofsuccess Is less. Some
trees will not bear exposure of
their roots for any great length of
time, and live.-Ohio Farmer.

To CLEAN SILK.-Grate raw po-
tatoes to a fine pulp in water, and
pass the liquid matter though a
coarse sieve in another vessel of
water; let the mixture stand un-
disturbed till the fine white parti-
cles of the potato are precitated;
then pour the mucillaginous liquor
from the fecula, and preserve it
fer use. The article to be cleaned
should be spread upon a linen
cloth upon a table, and washed
with asponge dipped in the potato
liquor, until the dirt is perfectly
separated, then rinsed in clear wa
ter several times. Two middle
sized potatoes viii be sufficient for
one pint of water.
Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1859-03-24

SHOE Your LADDERs.-Every
ladder, large or small, should have
iron points at the bottom end, to
enter Tie ground, and prevent ac-
'cidents. To make such an iron
takes almost any. old piece of iron
about a foot in length, and have
one end drawn to apeint, and three
orfour holes punched In, and screw
it firmly to the under side of one
of the ladder sides, letting the
sharp point extend about three
inches beyond the end of the wood.
Such fixture will cost about two
dimes, and will hold the foot of a
ladder, when getting it up will pre-.
vent its slipping, even on the ice,
keeping one from falling, and save
ones bones from being broken,
and the long catalogue of ills which
follow it.

DELICIOUS Dressing FOR RoAsI
FowLs.-Spread pieces of stale
but tender wheaton bread liberal
with butter, and season rather
highly with salt and pepper, work
ing them into the butter a little,
then dip the bread in wine, and
use it In as large pieces as is con.
venient to stuff the bird. The
delicious flavor which the wine
gives is very penetrating, and
gives to the fowl a rich, gamey
character, which is very pleasant
We recommend this dressing, and
testify to our personal high APP
probation Of this delicacy.-Er

BLACK REvIvER FOR FADED
MOURNING Dresses, BLACK COATS

ounces of Aleppogalls, in powder

of gum arabic; then add one ounce

- We cheerfnlln give place to the

Er We cheerfully give place to the
communication Of Mr.. Hastings this
week. for we discover in it that he
- acknowledges the corn,"--some of it
and purposes doing better the coming
year. Good. That point gained, all
temperate men win be satisfied. We
have never doubted that Mr.. Hastings
intended to do his best to secure men of
temperance principles as agents. We
blame him not for making bad appoint
ments. for a commissioner is liable TO be
imposed upon; we only censure him for
keeping the Keeling pests after informa-
lion has been given him by temperance
men. In our opinion, a commissioner
should use his own power, be autocrat,
ard not wait for " legitimate information"
for that course would toll the death knell
of the temperance movement. He must
take the bull by the horns" Fear Is
the great fault of temperance men; hence
they will allow the burning pit" to belch
forth its liquid fire and distilled damna-
lion" to the utter ruin of all they hold
most dear, without uttering more than a
tremuIous whisper against it. Whispers
will never suffice in a cause Of such mag
nitude. We must roar-uOt gently as
sucking dove" but with Stentoriau
lungs breathe out our hatred OF it. We
can readily see why the people OF the
infected district have "sutf-red such &
state Of things" to exist, and one reason
/ is that those who bolstered up their agen
were his ardent friends. They had 8
" fellow feeling" for him, and somebody
has said that /" a fellow feeling makes u
wondrous kind"
In conclusion we will say, if we woulc
save the rising generation, our sons anl
1 daughters, those upon whom are soon Il
/ derolve the cares of the state, we mus
throw around them the broad shield o
morality, virtue, and temperance; but
cannot be done unless temperance mel
will rally around the commissioner, com
to the support of the law and stop ;h
sale Of liquor as a beverage. On hi
point we think the remarks of Mr. Has
! tinq5 are worthy the attention of all.
