Protecting Trees.

We frequently hear greatcomplaints among
purchasers of fruit and ornamental trees that
they do not revive in the spring. or, that be-
ing exposed to the intense cold, destroys the
vitality of the tree or plant. The reason is
very PLAZA, they have no protection. The
tree after being removed from the nursery. is
in many cases Improperly packed for trans
portatioa. and an immense number Of small
fbres attached to the roots become wilted and
fall off. These fbres act as small veins, car
rying nourishment to the larger roots, and
thus contributing nouriskment and growth
to the whole tree. In setting out trees care
must be taken that the soil be finely pulveri-
zed and closely packed around the roots, in
order that the fbres may absorb proper a.
mount of moisture for their nourishment. If
possible do not enclose your trees with tig ht-
fitting boxes for protecting them against the
attacks of animals, but keep them open to the
air, and light, both of which are indespensi-
bic to the health of the tree or plant. On
the approach of winter, obtain a sufficient
quantity Of rye straw to properly envelope the
body OF the tree, and secure 1t by bands of
the same material. A few shovels full of
ashes or tan-bark, applied at the roots, will
be good protection, and shoEid oe emozed
in the spring. After pursuing the above
method for number of years L am convinc-
ed of its usefulness, and have seldom seen a
more simple or easier way OF managing trees.
Two days thus employed in the proper til

and much useful labor. Dollar Netcspa-

Stock Pays all the Time.

The heading of this article says the "Yall-
ey Farmer" was the remark of an old farmer
the other day, while deploring the failure of
his wheat crop. One year the wheat fails,
another year the oats fail, in other years the
corn; but. said he
Stock pays all the time"
He moreover, remarked that the farmers
who early gave their attention to stock-rais-
ing had gone right along without drawbacks,
and had out stripped the grain growers.
There is no doubt. much truth in the Old
mans remarks Stock is the surest and most
remunerative. But in the thickly settled re-
gious i. is safer and better 70 divide the int
crest between the two.
The two assist each other and improve the
far0. Waste straw, and offal of the grain
crops, viii go far to improve the farm. The
strength of the soil is a great dcsideratGm
with farmers The soil is his mine of wealth
his treasury-his bank of deposit. He
must keep it in good order, or his paper is
protested; his reputation as farmer is dis
honored.
1t is we'll to keep variety of stock, as well
as to raise variety of grain crops The gen
eral profits of each year are thus kept nearly
equal.
Farming may be done closer, less wasted
and more made.
