were plotted against the city by the
prisoners, abetted by residents of the
copperhoad persuasion. One was a
concerted attack on the military, the
seizure of their arms, and a general
cleaning out of the city by fire and
sword. 1t was frustrated by one of
the rebels who "peached." Attempts

A HOG will thrive according to the food

to the quality of food. Thus corn is bet

new corn. Beechnuts will make soft,

Patrons OF Husbandry.

THIS Order was organized by number
OF distinguished Agriculturists, of various
States of the Union, at Washington, in
December, 1861 and since then has met
with most encouraging success, giving as
most useful and powerful organizations in
the United States. It's grand object is not
only general improvement in husbandry,
but to increase the general happiness,
wealth and prosperity of the country. 1t
is founded upon the axiOms that the pro-
ducts of the soil comprise the basis of all
wealth; that individual happiness depends
upon general prosperity, and that the
wealth of country depends upon the
general intelligence and mental culture of
the producing classes The st. Paul Pio-
neer says; 1--WE understand that as soon

What Age to Plant Fruit Trees.

L AN fast coming over to the opinion
aud practice of such men rs 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 sooner 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 for trees for
"mmcdtate Jruting,;" but | consider it Il
costly, unsatisfactory practice. Nearly
every tree of that age loses by necessity a
large portion of its roots by transplanting
from the nursery to its future bed /; and in
order to maintain healthy, progressive
growth, the top must be shortened in, in
same proportion, sometimes quite severe
ly; and by the time this is completed, the
tree Is really little or no better than one a
year or two younger. 1t happens, how
ever, in the majority of cases. that the
trees are neither well planted nor well
pruned and the first years growth after
planting in its new home is weak, sickly,
stunted, with the least possible prospect
of fruit
To remedy all this, say choose young
trees, not over one or 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 less than
one-half; the trees lose few or no roots ;
they are more easily set out, saving labor
and expensive preparation of the ground,
and then they commence continuous
growth, which experiences few or none Of
the drawbacks incident 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
from his investment but he 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 trces-apples,
pears plumbs peaches, apricots, etc. In
no case would l recommend trees over
two years of observation-disclosures.

How to Keep Pastures in Good COndi'
ton.

IT is with pasture as with a man, the
income must be greater than the expenses,
or it grows poor. Crops are the expenses.
1t is quite possible to make the surface Of
any soil unproductive and improbable, by
carrying off more than is put on. Pas
turing with cows that are yarded at night
does this. Sheep or beeves that remain
upon the land, on the contrary, return
more than an equivalent in manure, and
keep the land improving. Where plaster
meets want of the soil it may be kept
improving by sowing broadcast bushel
and half to the acre every spring, and
feeding off the grass. Many farms in the
grazing districts in the interior are kept
up mainly by plaster and feeding Some
OF them will carry a bullock to the acre.
Other lands need lime, and the lime brings
in clover, and this plant by the large
drafts it makes upon the subsOil and
the atmosphere always improves the
pasture In other districts ashes are
accessible at reasonable rates, and they
are always reliable tOp-dressing The
effects are visible on some soils in increased
crops of grass, for twenty years. Cheap

cost, and leave = profit. SO will home

lures need nothing better than creek-mud,
and the weeds thrown upon the shore.
Too often these are allowed to rot on the
sand for want of labor to gather them.
Irrigation is available in other cases, and
where the waters of a brook can be turned
over a pasture nothing more will be need
ed to keep it in good condition Chang
ing soils oftcntimes has wonderful influ-
encc. Sometimes on the same field OF
twenty acres there will be sandy or gravel
ly knobs nearly bare of vegetation and
hard clay or muck in swales. A tOp-dress
ing of the sand would pay on the swales
and nothing could be better for the knobs
than the muck or clay Our old pastures
to be kept profitable must have something
done for them. 1t will not pay to devote
