passing near my horse; he appeared to be sick ;
l turned and went to him, and sure enough he
was sick; his throat was swollen to a terrible
degree solthat he could hardly raise or lower his
head more than an inch or two Something
must be done, for could not part with him any

CUTTING 1MBER..-If oak, hickory, or chest
nut be felled in August, in the second running
of the sap. and barked, quite large tree will
season perfectly, and even the twigs will remain
sound for years; whereas that cut in winter, and
remaining until the next Fall, las thick as your
wrist will be completely sap-rotteH, and will be
almost unfit for any purpose. The body of the
oak split into rails will not last more than ten or
twelve years. Chestnut will last longer, but no
comparison to that cut in August. Hickory cut
in August is not subject to be worm eaten, and
lasts long time for fencing. When began
farming in 1902, it was the practice to cut tim
Der for post fencing in the winter. White oak
posts and black oak rails, cut at that time, would
not last more than ten or twelve years.
1903, began cutting fence timber in August.
Many Of the oak rails cut that year yet sound,
as we'll as most of the chestnut. If the bark is
not taken off this month, it will of itself peel of
the I'd or I'd year, and leave the tree perfectly
sound. The tops Of the tree are also more valu.
able for fuel, than when cut in winter or spring.

TRANSMITTING TREES IN THE NIGHT.-A
correspondent of the Working Farmer says that
he transplanted ten cherry trees while in bios.
som, commencing about o'clock in the after
noon, and transplanting one each hour until one
in the morning. The trees transplanted during
the day shed their blossoms, and produced little
or no fruit, while those planted during the
night maintained their condition fully. He did
the same with ten dwarf pear trees after the
fruit was one-third grown Those transplanted
during the day shed their fruit. Those trans.
planted at night rpened theirs.
