PRESERVING TREES WHEN TRANS
PLANTED.-Many persons leave on
the entire top of a young tree after
it has been removed from the nurse
ry, when by removal it has lost
large portion of its roots, and perhaps
by exposure to the wind and sun, the
best of those which are left are dead
and useless. Under such circum-
stances the balance between root and
branch is completely destroyed, and
if the tree lives it is almost miracu-
louS. To maintain the proper bal
ance between root and branch, shorten
at the time of planting every limb by
at least one half of a years growth,
and when the leaf is of full size, cut
out entirely such limbs as will ever In
terfere with the growth of others
thereby avoiding the necessity of re-
moving large limbs afterwards, by
which the danger Of destroying The
: tree is increased.

O A correspondent of the Prairi
I Farmer, after ten years experienc
~ with the Suffolk hogs, and trying otf
+ er kinds, is decidedly of the Opinio
| that the Suffolk will furnish the mos
pork for the least money, and wit
the least trouble of any other kind o
hogs He thinks them the most harm
less and easiest kept of any kind
to make the least offaI, and are alway
tn ready for che butcher. The Suffolk
or are certainly a very valuable breed fC
n those who keep but few hogs, raisir
et meat for family use, but those wi
ca raise large numbers for market &c
ms orally prefer other breeds.
=, HAYMAKING.-As the season #
- making hay is approaching, we pu
lish the following discreet advice
farmers, from the Ohio Farmer:
M Don't dry your hay too much
en- Hay may be dried till it is as wort
IN, less as straw. AS a good coffee max

RS but brown it :" so we say, "DOn't d
,st your hay but cure it." Our good 0
m mothers who relied upon herb tea
es. stead of "pothecary medicine" gal
Die cred their herbs when in blossom, a
as cured them in the shade. This is t
lb- philosophy of making good hay. c

IN The sugar of the plant, when it is
by bloom, is in the stalk, ready to fol
