Time For Transplanting Trees,

There is still much difference of opinion as
regards the best time of the year for trans
planting. In ATTITUDES as far north as
Maine, most trees should be removed in the
spring, on account Of the severe winters, but
in the latitude of New York, VIC think the
fall the best season, for the following reasons,
which have been summed up by noted po-
mologist - lst The time is longer than in
the spring. I'd. The ground is in better con-
dtion. 3D.. The trees are then in the most
dormant state. 4th. The roots, whom cut,
heal better, and are prepared to send out
fresh ones even before the frost is out of the
ground. 9th. The winter and spring rains
settle the earth around the roots 9th. The
trees arc we'll established before warm wealth
or ovcrtakes them. Though successful trans
planting depends much upon the time, the
manner in which it is done of equal impor-
lance. Trees which are removed in hasty,
careless manner can not be expected to thrive
Our plan is to wait in the fall till all of the
leaves have been removed by frost, then going
to the nursery, to SELECT the most thrifty-look-
ing trees, not less than one or much over two
inches in diameter iHssr the ground. Nargcr
trees arc diff shout injury
and their growth isSl1ore retarded than that
Of smaller trees.) We then dig carefully
about them, severing as few as possible of the
larger roots and OF tho fine rootlets which alb.
sorb large amount of nutricious NATTER
In order that they may not be injured by ex-
posture to the air, the trees are then removed
as soon as possible 10 the holes which have
enprcparcd for them, at thcsamo time allow
ing as much earth as will, to cling to the roots.
In digging the holes, We make them large
enough to admit the trees readily. The sur.
face-earth, or sod, is then placed at the bot
tom Tor good foundation. We then set the
trees, with the large roots to the windward,
having the trunks also inclined little in that
direction, Chip-dirt is good to fill up with.
Evergreens should be transpanted generally
before the tenth of this month, and peach
trees in the spring. Never allow any kinds
of grass Or weed to grow about the young
tress, but if the ground must be used, sow it
with buckwheat, or plant it in corn or pota,

Llebig's Rule for Insuring the Fertility of
any Soil.

There exists receipt for insuring the
fertility of our fields and The permanence Of
their crops, and which, if properly and con-
sistently applied, will prove more remunera-
tive than all the expedients that have ever
before been resolted to by agriculturists. It
consists in the following rule
Every farmer who takes sack of corn or
a hundred weight Of rape, turnips, potatoes,
&c, to the town, ought, like the Chinese
coolic, to carry back with him from the town
an equal Tor, if possible, larger,) quantity
of the mineral constituents of the produce
sold, and restore them to the field from which
they have been taken. He should not des-
pise the peel of a straw, but always bear in
mind that peel may be wanted to form one
OF his potatoes that straw to form one of
his ears of corn. The cost of carrying these
matters to the field is triding, and the it,
vestment is sale as savings bank, and
highly productive withal. The fertile area
of his fields will, in the course of ten wears,
be as it were doubled. He will produce
more corn, more flesh, and more cheese,
without having, on that account, to bestow
greater labor and time upon the cultivation
Of his land he will be less anxious about
his fields, and need no longer keep his mind
constantly on the stretch for some new, un-
known, and imaginary expedient to preserve
their fertility in some other way.
All the proprietors of the soil in every
great country, (adds Licbig,) ought to form q
society for the establishment Of reservoirs,
where the excrcta Of men and animals might
be collected, and converted into portable
form. Bones, SCOT ashes, leachcd and IN
leached, the blood Of animals, and oflal and
refuse of all kinds, ought to be collected to.
gethcr in these establishments, and prepared
for transport by the socictys own officials
10 render the execution of plan Of this
kind possible, government and the police .au.
thorites should take measures TO insure the
proper construction Of latrines and sewers in
towns, to guard against the waste Of night
soil, &C. This must, Of course, be a preim-I
mary arrangement ; but when once made, al
annual subscription Of half-a-f form from every
farmer in the land will suffice to call Into OK
istence establishments of this kind in everg

Use OF THE BAROMETER By FARMERS
There is no doubt that farm rs would find
great advantage in consulting the barometer
when harvesting their crops. Several in
stances gifts usefulness have been made known
10 us. A gentleman who had fixed day for
commencing haying found that his barometer
on that morning indicated rain, and he post.
poned his haying 1t rained during the day
and for two succeeding days, but he saved
his hay, while his noighbors who had no
means of foretelliug the weather cut their
grass and lost by the operation. A farmer
at Chatham, N. Y, had large quantity of
hay and grain cut one day, and on going to
dinner noticed that the barometer indicated
rain. His men went Immediately to work
and saved most of the hay and grain, while
his neighbors who were not forcwarrcd in
time, experienced a loss A physician at
Reading had fixed day for his haying the
morning was fine, but the barometer said
rain, and he deferred moving and advised
his ncighbors to do the same. But they
laughed at him, and went to work, and the
rain GENE at noon. Many such facts might
be given to show the value of the barometer
to farmer. 1t will soon be considered as
indispensable in farmers household as a
clock or a wifo.-SprjWaeld Republican,

mercury went down to ten degrees below zero
the hogs only GeN their oUn.
The inference from these trials is, that, III
general, it is not profitable to feed corn to
hogs after the middle of November. The
difference in gain is certainly surprising, and
whether caused altogether by the difference in
temperature or not, no person of observation
can doubt that hogs gain much more in pro-
portion to the food consumed, in mild than il
cold weather. 1t seems that the hogs gained
much less by helping themselves to corn ir
the field than when the corn was ground anc
cooked and fed to the animals in pens, under
equal advantage of weather.

The Best Mode Of Drying Pumpkins.

We love pumpkin pies, even when there is
an abundance Of tree fruits. We have tried
all modes OF drying, but no plan is We think
equal to the one we recommended year ago
and which We have recently tried on a larger
scale than hitherto. 1t is this: Take the
ripe pumpkins, pare, cut into small pieces,
stew soft, mash and strain through cullen
der, as if for making pies. Spread this pulp
on plates in layers, not quite half an inch
thick dry it down in the stove oven, kept as
low temperature as not to scorch it. In
about day. it will become dry and crisp
The sheets thus made can be slowed away in
a dry place, and they are always ready for
use for pies or sauce. Soak the pieces over
night in a little milk, and they will return to
nice pulp, az delicious as the fresh pumpkin
we think much more so. The quick drying
after cooking prevents any portion from slight
ly Souring, as is always the case when the
uncooked pieces are dried; the favor is much
better preserved, and the allcr.cooking is
saved This plan is quite as little trouble as
tho old mode, to say nothing o. the superior
ity in the quality of material obtained. Try
it, and you will not return to the old method
we are sure, and you will also become great
lover Of pumpkin pie " the year round" and
tGelloss the loss of the fruit rop.

The Old Grist Mill.

The grist mill stands beside the stream,
With bending roof and leaning wall,
So old that when the winds are wild
The miller trembles lest it should fall;
But moss and ivy never sere,
Bedeck ii DER from year to year.
The dam is steep, and welded green;
The gates arc raised, the waters pour,
And tread the old wheels slippery steps,
The lowest round foreyermore
Methnks they have a sound of ire.
Because they cannot climb it higher,
From morn till night, in autumn time,
When heavy harvest load the plains,
Up drives the farmer to the mill,
And back anon with loaded wains;
They bring heap of golden grain,
And take it home in meal again.
The mill inside Is dim and dark,
But peeping in the open door,
You see the miller fitting round,
And dusty bags along the floor;
And by the shaft and down the spout,
The yellow meal comes pouring out
And all day long the winnowed chah,
Floats round it on the sultry breeze,
And shineth like a sctteling swarm
OF golden-winged and geltCd bees
Or sparks around a blacksmilh's door,
When bellows blow and FORCES roar.

But mine all dark and bare appear.

acres of corn, between the 10th Of September
and the ODD of October BY the hogs being

four cents per h., and corn at forty bushels
per acre.

hogs, averaging 200 lbs. each, which were

equal to a bushel Of cora, AMI the pork as be-
fore, the hogs paid 50 cents bushcI for tie

The same experiment was tried again the
first week in November, when the corn brought
81 cents, the weather being colder. The
third week in November the corn brought on
ly 40 cents, and the fourth week the corn
brought but 26 cents, the weather continuing
to grow colder. Another lot Of hogs was fed
