What Age to Plant Fruit
Trees.

| am fast coming over to tie
opinion and practice Of such men
as Phoenix, Quinn, and other
practical horticulturists, that "the
younger our trees are at the time
of transplanting, the better their
health and growth, and the soon
er will they bear fruit"
A great many think that a
three or four year old tree will
bear sooner than one two years
younger, and the nurserymen can
testify well to the demand of trees
for immediate jfluiting;;" but l
consider it costly, unsatisfactory
practice. Nearly every tree Of
THAT age loses by necessity a large
portion Of its roots by transplant
! ing from the nursery to its future
bed; and iii order to maintain a
healthy, progressive growth, the
top must be shortened in, in the
same proportion, sometimes quite
severely; and by the time this is
completed, the tree is really little
or no better than one or two years
younger. 1t happens, however,
in the majority of cases, that the
trees are neither we'll planted nor
well pruned, and the first years
growth after planting in its new
home is weak, sickly, stUnted,
with the smallest possible prospect
Of fruit.
Tc remedy all this, l say choose
young trees, not over one OF two
years old. They are in the long
run the best investment, and prove
most remunerative. They cost
less at the nursery; the freight is
not one.half; the trees lose few
or no roots; they are more easily
set out, saving labor and expense
Of preparation of the ground,
and then they commence a con.
tinuous growth, which experiences
few or none of the drawbacks in
cident to older trees, and at last
reward the owner with luxuriant
crops Of really choice fruit.
1t may seem hard to any man
to wait five or six years before he
can get returns for his investment;
but be will find at the end of that
time that his one year old trees
are better in every respect than
his four year old fancies. This
rule can be safely applied to all
standard trees-apples, pears,
plums, peaches, apricots, etc. In
no case would | Recommend trees
over two years Of age.-HorticaI-

that is his opinion, he has a right to
hold it and to maintain it. But what

time coming us all, which we call
death, when most men are somewhat
serious, and like to get advice and COM

sensation with a tumnlt of applause
followed this sally. which, as Mr.. Hall
says, was better than a sermon, and
not likely to be forgotten.

The New State of Superior,

The movement for a new State to be
formed of parts of Michigan and Wis
eonsIn, is gaining strength rapidly in
the territory proposed to comprise the
same. The Marquette Journal says
The proposed State would extend
frem the Sault Ste. Marie on the east,
taking the whole south shore of Lake
Superior rs its northern boundary, EN-
bracing the nine counties of the Upper
Peninsula of this State and the upper
tier of counties in Wisconsin. The
area of the State would be about 35,-
600 square miles, and the population
would range from $4,000 to 100, 900.
With liberal legislation, one calcula-
ted to foster our interests, with the
raised by the taxes of our own
property to be expended among us
and the many new and varied improve
ments continually going on, the State
of Superior would readily take rank
among its sister States as one of the
brightest in the constellation and
the untold wealth of its mines, its lum-
ber, and its fisheries, would be more
thoroughly developed and brought to
he markets OF the great West.

Keen out of Debt.

Half the perplexity, annoyance
and trouble that men have in this
world is in consequence of getting
into debt. 1t seems to be natural
for some people to buy and incur
obligations without measure, so long
as they can avoid paying ready cash.
Give one OF this sort a chance to buy
ON credit, and the question of price
aud conditions OF payment are mat
ters that he cares but little about.
But what crop of trouble springs
up from the seed of debt. How
many sleepless nights result from it,
how many gray hairs its trouble
brings and how often it shortens life
sometimes leading to suicide and
murder ~ H. .C-Dytt0 ..
And yet how easy thing it is TO
keep clear OF this horrible monster.
With the exception of sickness and
the like compelling poor persons to
incur debt for their maintenance,
there is butSlittle necessity for get
ting into such trouble. Every young
man should form a fixed and unalter-
bale determination before commenc
ing his active business career, not to
incur one dollar of indebtedness un-
der any circumstances. Never bor
row. Never buy anything unless
you have the money to pay for it at
once. Pay no attention to splendid
opportunities, bargains, rare chanc-
es, and the like. Such affairs are
only traps to catch victims. IL you
see anything you would like to buy,
or if any offer is made that you
would like to accept, look first at
your money pile, and make the an
swer depend upon that Always pay
as you go. If you are short OF mon-
ey gauge your demands accordingly.
Foster habits of economy, live
within your means, buy nothing
that you cannot properly afford, and
you will go through life free from
the miseries and troubles that beset
the path of the debtor.
