Buyfng Fruit Trees.

The following appears in my last.
''SOme claim that it (the loss in the
enterprise Of fruit grOwing), is in part
on account Of no pains being taken IN
taking up and tr0nsplQnti1q fruit tree
stock by the purchaser. But few OF
the many who transplant fruit trees
at present, superintend taking them
up. Fruit trees are sold mostly by
dealers or agents, who canvass the
country, taking orders for fruit tree
stock, to be delivered at a designated
place at a certain time. If the canvas
ser is fruit tree dealer, he buys his
trees of nurserymen, and superintends
the packing, shipping, and delivering
Of the same, and, sometimes, taking
them up. Ifthe canvasser isan agent,
he is employed by a fruit tree dealer
or a nurseyman, who sends him out to
sell his stock. The only difference
between a fruit tree dealer and his
agents, and a nurseryman's agent is,
the former sell what the dealer can
buy, the latter sells his employers
stock. And of either or both, who or
ders their stock? Or in other words,
who sets the most fruit tree stock? is
il those who understand fruit tree
growing, and know what they want?
Not at all. tits the farmer, mechanic,
tradesman, lawyer or doctor; men Of
all kinds Of business and professions
who have land, or a plot for a house
and garden, which they call their own.
That these men all understand their
regular profession or business, one
would be foolish to question. But do
they all understand fruit growing? Do
they understand the nature of fruit
trees and their requirements under
certain conditions They certainly do
not.
Suppose a case: An contemporaries
a man in a certain section to sell fruit
trees. The man thinks that he knows
what he wants. He has seen " such
and such" thing doing well in the
neighbOrhOod perhaps he has some
trees Of his own in a sheltered or fa-
vored place, andwantsm more like them
or it may be he has procured a list
from some one in whose knowledge Of
fruit growing he has confidence, which
confidence may be based more on such
individuals good talking qualities,
than anything else, and he orders from
it. One half Of the list may be Of local
varieties, or local names. The agent
will do the best he can, but when he
comes to pack the order, many or most
are not tx ODE had, and to help him out,
he has to avail himself of the privil-
eye given him by a little paragraph
contained in most agents orders, "if
the varieties ordered cannot be had,
others equally desirable may be substi-
tuted." Now, who is to be the judges?
The nurseryman, Of course. And
what varieties are equally desirable?
Why, the varieties he has most of.
They are even more desirable. For
why should he have put out and had
SO many more of them if not more de-
sirable? But even with all these
chances against him, the purchaser
often stands much chance of being
benefited by the change.

Grafting ADDIe Trees,

Having had more than fifty years
experience in grating, and having
read all that has come to hand on this
subject, 1 give the following as practi-
cal directions:
CuttinG SciOns.-FOr late grating
they should be cut early. In 1868, i
cut scions in the month of November.
Some of these were set in June follow
ing, and all lived. When caterpillars
are scarce, scions do best set in April,
but when these pests are thick, las in
1859, late graftings may be protected
from their fatal depredatiOns by pla-
cling the lower bud One-fOurth of an
inch below the top of the cleft, and
covering the bud entirely with wax.
The wax does not hinder the starting
of the bud, and when sciOns are thus
set, during the latter part of May, the
swarms disappear before the buds APP
pear. i have often known them to
kill the upper bud or leaf while the
lower one was shielded. And, besides,
when scions are set in this way, they
are less liable to be broken by wind or
by the weight of birds thatmay alight
upon them.
Splitting the StOcks.-A thin knife is
preferable to a thick one, as the stock
is generally cross-grained or twisting.
A thin knife driven down about one
inch, cuts a smooth place for the scion.
Ny knife is made from a piece of a
wOOd-saw plate, set in the back of a
ioiners fine saw, near the centre, and
ground to an edge.-CorT. NeW En-
OLqnd Farmer.
Nebraska advertiser., 1868-08-20

From an article in the Ohio Farmer
we copy the following: q Farmers in
this country are slow to work into the
habit Of raising roots for stock, and
the neglect is doubtless attributable to
the lack of barn cellars, or convenient
room for storing vegetables during
winters h~inderanee easily overcome.
Nearly all who fed roots give testi.
mOny In their favor, believing that
they are more profitable, especially
for mich COWS, than grain. Beets
and carrots are generally considered
the best, yet tUrnips hold a prominent
place, and if the first have been ne
elected this season, there is now time
for attending to the latter. In some
Of the old countries the turnip r is
considered one Of the most valuable
raised, for it is priced not only as feed
for stock, but as a fertilizer and a pu-
ritter Of the soil; and why can it not
be made use Of here for the same Dur
pOse?n

ROCKS abOut grape vines,

The american JOUwT10G of HOrticI1-
tatre thinks hocks are an advantage to
grape vines. Itsays: 1.-THE whole Sc
cret of the thing is, the rocks absorb
the heat Of the sun by day, and give
it off at night; keeping the roots OF
the vine warm, and the temperature
about it more fully equalized. The
same principle is observed in cities,
where grape vines are trained in front
of brick walls, which absorb the heat
by day, and reflect it when needed by
the vine. We propose to test more
fully the value of such treatment for
the vine by placing stones about the
roots Of several bearing vines, in diff
ferent parts of the VINEYARD where
they failed last year to ripen a single
grape"

why bees Refuse TO stay I'm the


Bee keepers often experience great
difficulty is getting a swarm of bees to
stay in a hive. Not unfrequentIy a
few hours, and sometimes even a day
or two, after a swarm has been hived,
1t suddenly swarm out, and either
60 TO the wood, or clusters again as at
hrst. Their are various reasons given
for their doing so, many of which how
ever, are not correct. 1T is said by
some that if a nail appears IN the in
side of the hive, or if the hiveis planed
on the inside, the bees will not stay in
it. Others, again, affirm that bees
viii not stay in a painted hive, because
they do not like the smell of the paint,
and many other equally absurd no
notions are entertained by some bee
keepers. Such reasons, however, are
but the Pickering rays Of superstition,
fast fading cut before our rapidly in
creasing knowledge in the science of
bee culture. The principle cause of
bees leaving a hive after having been
newly put into it is, too great heat.
When q swarm of bees are cast, they
rush from the hive under great excite
ment, causing much animal heat.
They are then, not unfrequently, put
into q hive which has been standing
exposed to the sun, and are then left
with the rays of the sun still falling
upon the hive. The consequence is
the heat becomes so great in the hive
they are compelled to leave. If the
hive is new or recently painted, the
heat viii, of course be greater. Care
should be taken to keep the hive well
shaded, and if the weather is eXces-
sively hot, il is we'll to wet the hive
with cold water two or three times a
day for two or three days. Bees will
sometimes leave from other causes,
such as being hived without a queen,
the queen being lost or killed or if
they had found a home in some hoI-
low tree before they swarmed they
prefer it to the hive, and accordingly
leave and 60 to it. Such instances,
however, z rare, and the more fire.
quent cause, as before said, is excessive
heat IN the hive.-CdnGdidn Farmer.

The trial of this machine at various County
and State Fairs, and the judgement of every
one who sees and uses il, unite in %prOnoun-
cling BrtnkerhOh'S Corn Shelter the best ever
invented. With it a mar can shell his crop
of corn at his leisure without an assistant,
and thereby save in a short time more han
than the cost Of a shelter.
This Corn Shelter has taken the first premi-
UNI for three years past at the New York
State Fair, when but partially perfected. 1t
has since been brought to degree of perfec-
ton, which makes it complete.
The following is the report of the Judges
on this machine, at the great trial of Agri-
cultural Implements held at Auburn, N. Y,
in July, 1866, under the auspices of the New
York Agricultural Society.
Anon the machines on exhibition was a
Hand Corn Shelter, Separator and Cleaner,
exhibited by j.. Brin kerhof, Auburn, N. Y.
We have carefully examined and thoroughly
tented this machine, and have no hesitation
in -prOnOuncing it the BEST CORN SHELL
LER WE ENER SAW. It readily adapts
itself to ears Ofany size orshape, shells clean,
and with great rapidity and ease, and the
same operation separates the corn from the
COB, and the chaf from the corn, and deltv-
ers the corn ready for market and it re-
quires but the labor of but one person to OPP
crate II. The whole affair is simple In con-
structiOn, and durable,

Alaudsbls ambition exists among threshers to own

are acknowledged
The great reputation achieved by this
tevorfte machine has led several interruptions manu-
facturers, and numerous agents, to attach the name
"SwEEPsTAKEs, in one way and another, to theft
machines and advertisements to mislead and deceive.
This is the essence Of meanness-down-
right piracy, and sailing under false colors. To
avoid the counterfeit, see that every machine has
the card, &C. AULTbIAN & CO., MANUFACTURERS
Canton, Ohio" in gilt letters, conspicuously on both
sides fthe Separator.
The Genuine Sweepstakes enables the
thresher to pick his customers, seldom stops for re-
pairs, lasts much longer than others, saves much
grumbiing and v%exation, does the same amount Of
work with less labor, and enables him to select the
best and most profitable jobs.
The farmers give it a preference, and
often an extra price per bushel, because it threshes
clean from the heads, separates perfectly from the
the grain, does its work with the utmost speed, safe
ty and economy, and does not keep a gang Of men
and teams ABOUT them on expense.
The elegant "Patent Pivot Side Gear''
Is to be found only on the SWEEPSTAKES.
Our "Patent Cleaning Apparatus" en-
ables the operator to control the direction Of the
blast, and position of the selves, and clean either

The word "Lady."

From the Eew York Evening Asii.l
We arg very Democratic in our ideas
of the worIS. 'lady."
We have b, ,Nard its frequent and very
common use in this country objected to
and have defenedcd il. The term shOnld
be used of all respectable women, whatever
their station in life, gho have good
manners and are refined il should be
used exactly as a counterpart OF the
word gentleman" Whether a man is
q merchant, lawyer, mechanic or laSoser
he has right to this title in America
if he is honest, neat refined in his own
feelings and considerate in his manner
of other peoples feelings. All women
can claim the corresponding title, "lady," ("
under similar conditions. In dress, only
ueatness is required, and in manner,
Q, ,ntleness and kindness. We would
iel tore the special and more formal laws
Of ,Ntiquette.
B ut while urging liberal and truly
Demt acratic use of the word "lady," let
us all protest most violently against such
an ab surd application Of the term as
we find in the following quotation from
one Of ,Nur New York dailies:
"a Eae y clerk in the employ of Wood
& Carey has stolen $4,000 worth Of
goods from them within the past two
wears. She was arrested this morning"
Such uses of the word "lsdy" are un-
Just, not oaly to those wealthy and
highly edU.cated 'ladies" who too often
claim an exclusive right to the word,
but to those genuine "ladies" in humble
life who gain their own subsistence BY
their own labor. II is unjust 10 the
other clerks of Msssrs. Wood Il Carey
to speak of female thief who happens
to be among them as a "lsdy" clerk.
Democratic principles do not require
that alady" and ''female" be synony-
nous terms.
