TO PREPARE TREES FOR PLAN
TING.

! With a sharp knife cut of, sloping from the
| under side. any bruised or broken roots then
reduce the tops to correspond with the loss Of
roots, cutting off surplus branches, and redu-
cling those forming the head to three or four
buds on each of last years shoots. This will
cause more healthy and vigorous growth the
first scason-its omission is common cause
of the failure or sckly growth of newly plan
ted trees.
In setting, let one person hold the tree in its
pressing it firmly among the roots with the
hand taking care to leave no cavities UNDER
neath-and when the roots are all covered,
pressing the whole down firmly with the
foot
1ooa deep pldnting-whcn all is finished the
tree should be no deeper than when in the
nursery.
Grapevincs should be cut back to two or
three eyes, and only one of these be permitted
to grow the first year.
Raspbcrrics and blackberries should be cut
back to within one foot of the ground.
Goosbcrries and currants should be cut back
TO one or two eyes oflast seasons growth!
The time for planting, in the autumn, is af-
ter the first hard frost until the ground is
closed from the goth of October to the last of
November, i'll Ohio, or any time in the spring
before the opening of the buds. Trees pro-
cured in the spring by burying them half their
length in mellow earth, lin slipping position)
where no water is liable to stand; a slight cov-
efing of brush or forest leaves over the tops
will be of service in case the winter should
prove severe. Small bushes, like raspbcrries
grapes, &C., may be buried entirely in earth
Trees planted an the taH should have earth
hillcd up around the stems six inches or more
in height, TO hold them firmly in position du-
from frost and excess of wet. This is also
protection against injury by mice. In spring
the earth should be lcvelcd, and two or three
inches ofcoarse manure or little spread on the
surface over the roots for aspacc of four or five
feet in diameter: this will keep the surface
moist, prevent baking, and check the growth
of weeds.
Ifplanting 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 finish
ing up; then if the surface is mulchcd as rec
ommcnded, no further watering is necessary.

among fruit trees at least until they have ar
rived at bearing size. Ncgiectmg this pFecau-
tion is the most common cause Of the failure
of young orchards. No farmer expects hill
of corn TO flourish among grass or other crops.
and without cultivation; it is just as unreason-
able to expect young fruit trees to grow well
in such circumstances; yet how seldom do we
see anything like common sense exhibited in
this thingt

common wash-bowl or tin washpan, fill it

the wall of the room or cellar infested by the

MACHINE POETRY.

The poetical machine having been adjusted, our
devil took hold of the handle and began to turn,
when it kind spun out as follows:
A maiden at ten ia a sweet little coot,
So simple, unaffected, and free,
Short dresses display n neat ancle and foot,
With garter tied under the knee.
Asplurlp as apartridge her little form swings,
Her modest face healthy snd flush
While clear childish voice unaffectcdly rings,
And her dimpled checks naturally blush.
Another six years and this bud is flower,
And sought by the chvalrous men,
How strongly now felt is the magical power,
OF the once little maiden often.
Long dresses apheroidal the pavemcnts now sweep,
And cotton and c1rselets display,
While ever anon her little feet peep,
As she raises the fancy crotedet.
A brave ''dandglion' beside her now walks,
Who common folks savagcly scorns,
He fairly leans back as he dignificd talks,
While his moustachc curls up like pair ofram's
horns
Another decade and a widow you meet,
Nomodest little maiden of ten,
But one who delights to bob round on the street,
Attracting the notice of men.
Devil, please hold up there, give us another
kcy.)
How dear to my heart the scenes of the alley
As fondrccollcction presents them to view,
Where often we fought IN big drunken rally,
Mid showers of brick bats and bottles that few.
All! well remember the encounter so close,
When drunken Tom Tinker cut into my chin
But was rcvcngcd, for bit off his nose,
Tho he pinchcd out my eye, while stove his
ribs in.
CA little more change, if you please, Mr.. Devil,
slittlc higher key.)
All well I remember the coral-stcepcdlite
OF one above all whom my fancy would view,
Whose kisses like nectar that jupiter sips,
Distilled in sweet drcamand their soft honey
dew.
All YES she's before me the maiden pleasing
Lord what a divinity of colors now play,
How many mn hour Ispcnt with her squeezing,
Till found that the cotton began to give way.
Hold up Mr.. Devil, for Heaven sake, the Smut
Machine is decidedly out of ordcr.)

A HAPPY WOMAN.

What spectacle more pleasing
does the world afford than happy
woman contented in her sphere,
ready at all times to benefit her lit
tie world by her exertions, and
Transforming the briars and thorns
of life into roses of Paradise by the
magic Of her touch There are
those who are thus happy because
they cannot help it-no misfortunes
dampen their sweet smiles, and
they diffuse cheerful glow around
them as they pursue the even tenor
of their way. They have the Sc
cret of contentment, whose value
is above the philosophers stone;
for without seeking the baser ex-
change of gold, which may buy
some sort of pleasure, they convert
every thing they touch into Joy.
What their condition is makes no
difference. They may be rich or
poor, high or low, admired or for
saken by the tickle world; but the
sparkling fountain of happiness
bubbles up in their hearts and
makes them radiantly beautiful
Though they live in log cabin,
