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 cher
ries. For pears and small fruits
spring is better. Our own experience
would make the locality, rather than
the season, the guide in making the
selection. In the uplands or other
lands of a naturally dry, silicious ma
ture, we should choose autumn but
in moist, heavy or argillaceous soils,
spring is undoubtedly the best, with
out reference to the variety of the
fruit. And we should adopt this
course whether in regard to shade or
fruit trees--always excepting the
evergreens, which we do not thiI.k do
nearly so wellin fall as spring. 2 Y
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 before winter sets
in and the tree is thus ready for an
early start in the spring, and also bet
ter prepared to stand the seventies
of winter. Large treess, especially,
should be transplanted very early,
or not until the ground is frozen
hard.

Salt and Cold Water for Swine.

We do not know the source OF the fol-
lowing remarks upon the subject which
heads this piece, but we regard the infor-
nation il contains as valuable, both as it
regards the administering of salt to fat,
tening swine, and the providing oe pure
water for them, moi merely in hot weather,
but at all seasons. ......ss.i ..
1t is not common practice, we think,
to give salt to swine occasionally, while
every farmer would consider 1t prime
duty to offer it to his neat stock, horses
and sheep, as often as once week. To
be sure the swine get little compared
with the amount given to other animals.
In proportion to their weight, why do
they not need as much salt as The other
stock or the farm ? We find an article
going the rounds Of the papers upon the
use Of salt for faHening swins. The wri,
ter states that he "selected two pairs Of
barrow hogs weighing 200 each. One
pair received, with their daily allowance
of food, two ounces of salt tho other,
similarly fed, none. In the course of a
week it was easily seen that the salted
pair had much stronger appetite than
the others, and after a fortnight it was
increased to two ounces apiece. After
four months the weight of tho salted
hogs was 356 pounds, while that of the
unsalted, five weeks later, reached only
800 pounds The experiment was re-
peated with almost precisely the same re.
suits" .,,- f"..,.sl
IF such should prove to be the general
result, most farmers have not gained al
the good advantages they might have
done from the food fed ont. From tho
example cited there is no indication that
the salt excited morbid appetite, and
produced unnatural flesh and fat. OF
course a sound judgment must be exer
cised in the use of salt, as we'll as of grain
or any other food. Another neglect of
swine-aud sometimes it must be cruel
onc--is that of not giving them p1,n.
it'll supply of cold water Why 1t is
supposed that the hog should not need
water as well as the COW and sheep, is
moro than We can tell. They do require
it. When water is not given them, al,
though fed with swill, they will drink
heartily Of the water collected in the
yard or barn-cellar after visiting their
trough several times, and finding it empty
and dry. Nothing is more grateful to
them in hot day than a bucket of cold
water, drank from clean, sweet trough.
We trust that farmers will give attention
to the matter, aU ascertain for themselves
whether our suggestions are valuable or
not. '.

PonoLoaicAL DlscovERy.-The science Of
fruit culture Inns taken rapid strides during
the past few yonrs, particularly in this country;
but nowhere, perhaps, is 1t followed 80 nssid-
uously and enthusiastically as in Holland, and
the lower provinces of tho Rhineland.
Tho latest, and certainly the most curious,
discovery in this line has recently been made
by Flemish gardener of Ghent,. who, nfter
long and persistent experiment, has actually
if we may believe tho authority of Galignani--
succeeded In giving to any kind Of fruit the
ilayor he pleases while it is still on the tree.
Let us tako an apple for instance; he pricks II
rather deeply in four or five places with large
needle, md then let's II dip for while In o
bowl containing liquid possessing The favor
he wishes to communicate. After few sec
onds this liquid will have penetrated tho pulps;
and this operation being repeated two or three
times, at intervals of eight or ten days, tho
apple Is left TO ripen on the treo, and will sub
sequenily BIO found to have acquired the taate

Another proof Of the lattcr's weakness is shown

shnl Of Peru; md well known for half century,
was steadily gaining strength, and had he not
been removed by death, lie would probably
have involved the whole country in turmoil and
bloodshed. Ever restless md uneasy, the Pc.
