To Prepare Trees for Planting.

With sharp knife cut off sloping
from the under side, any bruised or
broken roots, then reduce the tops to
correspond with the loss of roots, cut
ting off the surplus branches, and
reducing those forming the head to
three or four buds On each Of last
years shoots. This Will cause more
healthy and vigorous shoot the first
season-its omission is a common
cause of the failure or sickly growth
of newly planted trees.
In setting, let one person hold the
tree in It's position, while another fills
in the mellow earth, pressing it care
fully among the roots with the hand,
leaving no cavities underneath-and
when the roots are all covered, pres
sing the whole down firmly with the
foot.
Avoid deep planting-when all is
flashed, the tree should be not over
two inches deeper than when ill the
nursery.
Grapevines should be cut back to
two or three eyes, and only one Of
these should be permitted to grow the
first year.
Blackberries and raspberries should
be cut back to within one foot of the
gorund.
Gooseberries and currants should
be cut back to one or two eyes of last
seasons growth.
Trees planted in the Fall should
have earth hilled up around the stem,
six inches or moe in hight, to hold
them firmly in position during win
ter, and protect the roots somewhat
from frost and excess of wet. This
/ is also a protection against injury by
mice. In spring the earth should be
| leveled, and few inches of coarse ma
nure or litter spread on the surface
over the roots for the space of four OF
FIVE feet in diameter; this will keeI
the surface moist, prevent baking
and check the growth Of weeds.
IF planting is done rather late in
spring, and IN dry weather, it is well
to give water freely after setting the
trees and covering the roots with earth
! letting it settle before finishing up
then if the surface is mulched as re.
commended, no farther watering is
necessary.
No grass or grain crops should be
grown among fruit trees, at least un-
til they have arrived at bearing size
even then it is bad economy.

THE CURRENCY 1HrLAT1ox.

The continuance Of the war, however.
and the increased disbursements made
necessary by the augmented forces now
in the field, demand your best reflection
as to the best mode OF providing the
necessary revenue without injury to busi-
ness, and with the least possible burdens
upon labor. The suspension of specie
payment By the banks, soon after the
commencement Of your last session, made
large issues of United States note una
voidable. In no other way could the
payment of the troops and other lust de-
mands be so economically or as well pro-
vided for. The judicious legislation Of
Congress securing the recelvability Of
these notes for loans and internal duties
and making them legal tender for 9th.

rency. and has satisfied, partially at least
and for the time, the long felt want Of Z

Herding Cattle.
Erfract from a PriUate Letter.

EGtrGct from a PTGUdEe Letter
Within a few years system o.
cattle-grOwing has been practiced il
this country Ill.) which changes the
characteristics of prairie farming
The vacant lands are now so general.
" enclosed that the pasture Grange
has become too narrow for the stock
of the farmer, and this has led tht
owners Of large herds to establish
''ranchos" or herding stations, on tht
borders of Inlet and Winnebago mar.
shes, to which are gathered in the
spring most Of the beef and young
cattle of this section for pasturagt
during the grazing season. In OctO
Der they are returned to their owners
who pay about one dollar per head
for sailing and attendance, thus get
ting summers growth at but slight
expense compared with home feed
ing, the animals thriving equally well
The farmers following this system
are generally such as own from one
hundred to one hundred and sixty
acres of land, about one half being
kept under cultivation, in corn, wheat.
timothy, and the lesser crops.
We cannot give better idea Of
this system than by some account Of
the farm and management of Ira By
ron, Esq. He has 240 acres Of land
nearly one third of which is in with
timothy, which he cuts as early as
it is fit for seed, carefully saving the
straw, as well as that of his larger
crops of wheat and oats in stacks for
winter forage. His cornfeld also
furnishes large amount Of fodder.
He buys of his neighbors as he can,
their one, two and three year olds,
as before stated. In October, when
the prairie grass is all dead, his til
notify is excellent pasture, and here
his stock is kept until snow comes,
when they range the cornfelds or feed
at the straw stacks as they choose
At the proper age, Mr.. Brewer fat
tens his cattle for the Chicago mar
ket, feeding them literally with corn
in the ear. About sixty hogs follow
the cattle to use up all the shelleC
corn and that which is voided whole
1t is found that hogs do better when
fed in this way than if fed corn in the
fattening more readily and eco,
nomieally.
This system has its advantages ii
allowing the profitable home conSumI
ton of all the fodder as well as the
coarse grains of the farm in ena-
bling the farmer to keep all the stock
the farm will winter at but slight ex-
pense per head; and in the large a
mount of manure thus furnished fol
keeping the soil in highly productive
state. The expense of marketing the
product is far less than in the form Of
grain, and the prices are generally as
remunerative.
