Rules for Tree Planting.

Rules for Tree Planting.
The following important rules to Tree
Planters are given by John J. Thomas,
and if needed would save thousands of
trees from destruction and make many
people richer and happier:
Manure should never be placed in
contact with the roots of tree in set
ing it out, but old, finely pulverized
earthly compost answers well.
Trees should always be set about as
deep as they stood before digging up.
A small or moderate sized tree at the
time Of transp'anting will usually be a
large bearing tree, sooner than the
larger tree set out at the same time, and
which is checked necessarily in growth
by removal.
Constant clean and mellow cultivation
is absolutely necessary at sll times for
the successful growth of the peach tree
at any age, it il as necessary for a
young plum tree, but quite SO for an old
tree; it is nearly as essential for a
young apple tree, but much less SO for
an old orchard and still less SO for a
middle aged cherry tree.
Warm valleys with rich soil are
more liable to cause destruction to trees
and their crops by cold, than moderate
hills Of more exposure, and with less
fertile soil, the cold air settling at the
bottom of valleys during the sharpest
frosts, and the rich soil making the tree
grow too late in autumn without ripen-
ing and hardening the wood.
The root Of tree extends nearly as
far on each side as the height of the tree
and hence to dig it up by cutting cir
Gle with spade half foot in diameter
cuts off more than nine tenths of the
roots; and to spade little circle about
young tree not one-quarter as far as
the roots extend, and call it "cultiva-
tion," is like Falstaff s men claiming
spurs and shirt collars for a complete
suit.
Watering tree in dry weather affords
but temporary relief, and often does
more harm than good, by crusting the
surface. Keeping the surface constant
ly mellow is much more valuable and
importantly this cannot be done,
mulch well. If watering is ever done
from necessity, remove the top earth,
pour in water, and then replace the
earth-then mulch or keep the surface
very mellow.
Shrivelled trees may be made plump
before planting by covering the tops
and all with earth for several days.
Watering trees before they expand
their leaves should not be done by pour
ing water at their roots, but by keeping
the bark Of the stem and branches fire.
quently or constantly moist. Trees in
leaf and rapid growth, may be watered
at the roots if done in proper manner.
Young trees may be MANFRED to great
advantage by spreading manure over the
roots as far as they extend, or over al
circle whose radius is equal to the height
Of the tree, in autumn or winter, and
spade in this manure in spring.
Never set your trees in grass field,
or among wheat, or other sowed grain.
Clover is still worse, as the roots grow
deep and rob the tree roots. The sur
face should be clean and mellow or i'll
any crops are suffered, they should be
potatoes, carrots, turnips or other low
hoed crops.

RECRUITING N THE REuSEI,
ATATE0.

The gallant little State of Massachusetts,
again leads the van in patriotic effort
having already sacrificed all the recruits she
could raise in the loyal States, she now
stands ready to make a further and more
devoted sacrifice Of all the negroes she can
get in the rebel States. Her own roads
have been "swarming' with soldiers ever
since the Emancipation proclamation, but
unfortunately for Uncle Sans army the
''swams" have not been ''hived" yet, and
SO ore still in the ''roads." By and by.
when they get stated, the American people
will think that small earthquake has broi-
en- loose. In the meantime, while the
''swarms" are getting a good ready, and in
order that the draft may not interfere with
the "swarming' business, which is said to
be profitable, she has dispatched her agent,
Lieutenant Colonel john. A. Spooncr, ESQ.,,
Provost Marshal Of Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi, to recruit volunteers to be duly
credited to her. In pursuance Of this very
praiscworthy mission the Lieutenant Col
onel has written letter to General Shcr-
man, notifying him of the fact The Gen
erals reply is exactly to the point, and we
hope has been very carefully perused by
the said Lieutenant Colonel and Provost
Marshal, as well as by some of our blatcnt
niger worshippers at home lie suggests

"Civilian agents about an army are n,ii-
sance." In this he is guilty Of disrespect
to Spooner as well as to the State of Massa
chusetts, and his title had better be looked
INTO at once. But he continues: ss

touching this point. But worse than all.

them be dismissed at once, and let Massa-

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE IN McHENRy
CouSry-On Sunday lat a party of men
went from Woodstock, McIenry county, ia
bathe in Cry stall Lake. One Of the party, a
young man, whose name our informant
could not remember, got beyond his depth

the father Of the young man, accompanied by
nearly two hundred citizens, proceeded tc
the lake and fired cannons in expectation
of raising the body, previous search with
graphing irons having been unsuccessful
At the second discharge the gun burst into
fragments, and, strange to say, but one Of
the entire crowd was struck by the deadly
pieces. One piece struck the father of the
drowned man, mortally wounding him.
