What Age to Plant Fruit Trees.

IAN fast coming over to the opinion
aud 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 sooner will
they bear fruit"
A great many think that 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
"immcdiate .fruiting;;" but consider it a
costly, unsatisfactory practice. Nearly
every tree of that age loses by necessity
large portion of its roots by transplanting
from the nursery to its future bed; and in
order to maintain q 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 q
year or two younger. 1t happens, how
ever, in the majority of cases, that the
trees are neither we'll planted nor wen
pruned, and the first years growth after
stunted, with the least possible prospect
of fruit. i-ti
To remedy all this, say choose young

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 trees-apples
pears, plumbs, peaches, apricots, etc. In
no case would l recommend trees ovel
two years of observation-disclosures.

1t Ii true; it is certainly the diamond

So saying, he left the room, but quickly
returned, bearing in his hand net prepared
for catching butterflies. With its aid, and
that of long stick, he proceeded careful
ly to try and get the precious stone-Mon-

all his movements with the greatest ankle

success, and he cried, Here it is, MONTH

Fattening Hogs.

A HOG will thrive according to the food
you give it. 1t will make pork according
to the quality Of food Thus corn is bet
ter than other grain; old corn better than
new corn. Beechnuts will make soft,
oily pork the acorn bitter, it is said I;
and we know that it is matter of world
wide notoriety that offal spoils pork.
How is it then with the pen, rocking
constantly with odors-the hog wallowing
in its own filth?
Here is an aspect that we overlook.
There is always more or less of the excretia
of the animal taken with its food. Some
times-and this we have often seen-the
trough is watered and lined with it, the
animal urinating in the trough.
Now all this has decided effect upon
the pork, which is, from necessity, more
or less tainted by it. We are not eating
good pork. We are not keeping it well;
such pork will not keep. The difficulty is
laid to the putting down, or to some other
cause, when it is in great measure, and
sometimes wholly, owing to the manufac-
IRE; the putrescent matter is absorbed in
the Tcsding.
To Prevent all this, or at least in great
measure, 80 as to get fair, and what we
may deem good quality of pork, there
must be cleanliness. And the hog, though
a hog, has still some of the original polite
ness left which hs doubt distinguished
him ere he had takcA to the ditch. He
will select clean, dry place; and it is
this trait that must be taken advantage
of He must be permitted to have clean
place where he can be clean and dry, but
also cool, or he will wallow. A separate
apartment to sleep or rest in is the best
and the surest way. He will seldom foul
his sleeping apartment, particularly if
straw is put in and changed as often as re-
quired. This he will have as his parlor
And it is your business to see that the
other compartment is kept free from odors
and moisture; this by using absorbents.
Dried muck is a common resort. Dried
saw-dust is also good; and even ground
anything that will take up odors and mois-
ture. Use ground that isdry, or dust from
the road. Have pile ready TO use, and
keep using as occasion requires. If there
is but one compartment, treated in this
way, it can be kept odorless and dry, and
piggy will appreciate it, and aid in the
