Planting Trees in the Fall.

We find that transplanting fruit trees
in the fall is preferred by many, SO far as
it relates to apples and cherries For
pears and small fruits, spring is better
Our own experience would make the local
ity, rather than the season, the guide in
making the selection. In uplands, or
other lands of a naturally dry, silicious
nature, we should choose autumn but if
moist, heavy, or argillaceous soils, spring
is undoubtedly the best, without reference
to the variety of the fruit. And we
should adopt this course, whether in re-
gard to shade or fruit trees-always ex-
cepting the evergreens, which we do not
think do nearly so well in fall as in
spring.
The best time to transplant in the fall
is as soon as the trees are done growing,
which can be determined by the change
Of the leaf. By this early operation the
roots have time to seize upon the soil be-
fore winter sets in, and the tree is thus
ready for an earl y start in the spring, and
is also better prepared to stand the severi-
ties of winter. Large trees, especially,
should be transplanted very early, or not
until the ground is frozen hard.

Orchards,

If the pruning was not done in the au-
tumn, the earlier it is done in the month
Of March next the better it will be, as tie
sap will soon become active. Cut out all
dead limbs and water shoots. Cut down
to the sound wood make the wood as
smooth as possible to prevent the reten-
ton Of water, and cover the surface of the
cut with a mixture of equal parts of rosin,
tar and beeswax melted together over a
slow fire.
The body Of each tree and the larger
limbs should be scraped thoroughly, and
over the cleansed surface should be applied
the following mixture, stirred well togeth-
er: l gallon Of soft soap, Id. Of flour
OF sulphur, and quart of salt.
If the soil is at all Representatives,,
lime it we'll, and then top. dress it with a
compost formed of four parts of woods
mould, two parts ashes, two paris stable
manure, two bushels of bone dust; mix
and spread at The rate of 10 two-horse
cart loads to the acre; plough the whole
in lightly, just sufficient indeed to cover ;
avoid the trees with the plough, but break
up around them with the mattock.

Agritnltntal,
Selecting Seed Wheat.

We have before alluded to the expert
ments of Mr.. Hallett, of Brighton, in
England, in the selection of his wheat for
seed, and the results which have attended
it. It is an interesting and important
matter with the farmer, and one which we
desire to press upon the attention of our
readers. Mr.. Hallett commenced his ex-
periments in September, 1859. He then
planted one grain of wheat, and year by
year selected most carefully the produce
of the finest heads as seeds for the next
years crop, and, improving every success
sive harvest, he has at length more than
doubled the size of the original heads
The weight of the product has greatly in
creased, and he is able to reap much ear
lier than formerly. These are most I'M
portant considerations.
1t will be remembered that at the meet
ing of the Board of Agriculture, last
winter, Mr.. Haines, of Aroostook, stated
that he one year separated his seed wheat,
SO as to have the largest, heaviest kernels
only to SOW. In this way he obtained one
peck from bushel. A bushel and a
halt of the selected wheat was sown side
by side in another field, with wheat I'M
cleansed, and the former was four times
aas good as the latter, and the yield cor
respondingly heavier. The fields upon
which it was sown were very uniform in
character throughout, and CHS difference
could be distinguished as far as the field
could be viewed, so as to see the grain.
The benefit of careful selection of seed
through number of years, become SO ev-
ident, that we think farmers can profit
from the experiments which have thus
far been made in this direction; and there
is this advantage to it, that the plan is
open to each farmer alike, and with but a
small expense attending the operation
To raise pure crops of every variety Of
seed, is matter Of the greatest import
and we wonder it has so long been neg
ected.-FMn,er and Gardener..

To PREVENT GOLDs IN CHILDREN
The best preventive of colds in child
rem is to dress them warm and give them
exercise daily in the open air, and wash
them thoroughly every day in in cold wa
ter, if they are strong enough to bear it
if not, add a little warm water, and rub
the skin dry. This keeps the pores open.
If they do take cold, give them warm
bath as soon as possible; If that is not
convenient, battle the feet and hands, and
wash the body all over with warm water,
and then give cup Of warm tea and COW
er the patient in bed. Avoid exposure
