THE FRUiT ORCHARD AND NURSERY. There Is not reader of this journal that is not interested in good fruit. And eve " one that can. should raise ii; for in- dependent of the pleasure Il affords, ripe fruit will be found matter of economy. Apples, Pears, Peaches, Plums, and Grapes, should now be planted. There IS no little skill required in planting tree. IL Is not reasonable to suppose, that tree can be taken up with all It's fbrous roots entire but it should be taken up with so much care, that as few rooIs are broken as possible. Wherever there is broken root, the wound should be cut clean, and the top should be cut back to correspond with the loss of roots. The tree should be planted no deeper in the earth than il originally stood, and should be planted firmly at once. It is well to select a cloudy day for tree planting, but rather than miss, plant in the sunshine.
 Apple and pear trees that produce in- ferior fruit. may now be grafted in their limbs, with choicer varieties. Select limbs not.more than twice as large as the graft, and graft within three inches of the trunk, or of the main limbs. Manure old trees with muck and ashes, or muck or lime; take out the old dead and diseased wood, scrape the bark where it IS rough or diseased, and rub the trunk with strong soap suds.
 Look after the peach worm in the root the tree will not perfect good fruit with those blood-suckers girdllng the root.

IDrocRAsY OF THE Hoe.-The editor of the Yazoo, Mississippi, Democrat, be- ing very much annoyed by some Osawat- iomie porisers that invaded his truck patch, and played the devil with the good looks of his garden. sat himself down in phi losophical mood to study the idocrasy of his tormentors. Here IS the result of his reflections:
 The common hog Porous Quadrapeda is, in some respects wonderful animal, and in every respect con. founded rascal (We don't think this opinion has ever been advanced before, and therefore claim itas originally He is wonderful in nrespect to his muzzle--vulgarly called snout- which comprises most of his stock in trade. It is undoubtedly a marvellous piece of mechanism, and as one evincing design, Is hardly surpassed by the human hand.
 His rascallty is palpable in his acts. and he seems entirely incapable of culti- vating an honest motive. Moreover, he Is the contrarest animal that ever breath ed, notwithstanding this quality has been claimed for one with longer ears. Turn him into cornfeld to fa.len and he'll break out. Try to stop him ou. of a corn field, and he'll break in, in spite of the devil. He always goes contrary 10 your wishes. If you wanted to keep him in your yard, you couldn't; if you wanted him to stay out, he wouldn't to save your life. Whenever he sets his mind on an object, nothing can turn him from i.. He'll work for days together at paIing, and notwithstanding you may dog him, brickbat him, and the like, he returns to his work with renewed energy. Perhaps, when you are not expecting Il. the frs. thing you know he's inside. Sometimes through 1t, and sometimes under t. One way or another, however, if he take no. ton, he's bound to go, and yon might just as we'll let him in. The only way 10 gel rid of him under such circumstances, E either to kill him or shut him up inside n the latter case he'll soon break oet.

ADANGERoUs PREAcHER.-Dr. Cross, in a letter to the Richmond Advocate daguerreotypes Southern preacher, in part, thus :
 He encompasses himself with rain- bows and meteor, and earthquakes, and cataracts, and hurricanes, and waterspouts and showers of gems and torrents of fire and boundless conhagrations, and mar shalIed philosophies, and trooping sera- phim, and the slupendous wheels of Provi dence, and the silver chiming of the spheres. and the wetering chaos of de- molished worlds"

I WISH I WAS AN EDITOR.

l wish was an editor really do indeed; It seems to Tns the editors Cat everything they need, They get the biggest and the best or everything that grows, And get in free to circusses And other kind of shows. And whea mammoth cheese is cut, They always get slice, For saying Mrs. Smith knows how To make it very nice. The largest pumpkin, longest beet, And other garden stuff, Is blown into the sanctum by An editorial puff. The biggest bug will speak to them No matter how they dress A shabby coat is nothing-if You own printing press. At Ladies' Fairs they're almost hugged By pretty girls, you know, That they may crack up everything The ladies have to show. And thus they get blowout free At every party feed- The reason is--because they write, And other people read.

paorser1sa Youxc APPLE TREEs ppoa RAsBrrs.-MF. Lewis Howell, ol St Charles county. Mo, an intelligent farmer. gives us the following remedy for protecting young apple trees from rabbits He says: "rake lime and fresh COW manure, in about equal quantities, and mix them with water, so as 10 form mixture little thicker than the thickesi paint, and wash the young trees with the mixture in November lItlle higher than the rabbits can reach. Should there be much rain in the early part of the winter, repeat the wash in January or February and it will prove a preventive. have small nursery and use no other protection for my nursery trees, or the young trees in my orchard, and they receive no injury from rabbits. L. H."
 This is one of the best remedies that we have seen suggested. We have no doubt of it's efficacy. And while other remedies may be equally efectual, yet they require an equal or greater outlay oi time. with no return for the labor, except saving the trees from injury by the rabbits. With the protection suggested by Mir. Howell, however, 1t Is very different. We have no doubt that any one would be we'll paid for making the application re- commended, by the beneftihe trees would derive from the manure applied to them. Lime and cow manure applied to the body of the young trees, and this appllca- ton washed down among the roots must be highly beneficial. We hope that next fall every one having young trees will try the application recommended.-[ Valley Farmer.

Twenty thousand dollars as good as stolen from the

thousand to support the Pennsylvania Argus Forty
one thousand dollars of the peoples money appro-
