Fall Planted Trees and Vines.

Excessive wet is one of the very great
evils to which the roots of newly planted
trees are liable, the heavy rains of fall so
completely saturating the earth around
them that they are in danger of rotiing
during winter. There is most danger, of
course. where the laud is fat, and has
compact subsoil. The most certain rene
dy is to drain as thoroughly as possible,
and where not convenient at this time deep
and wide burrows should be made so as to
allow the surface water to escape.
Loosening of the roofs, by winds aud
freezing, is another danger to which fall
planted trees are especially liable on clay
lands, and in wet seasons. This danger is
avoided by draining and proper care in
planting. After the trees are set aud the
earth pressed firmly on to the roots, lit
tie higher than the natural surface, a
mound of additional earth should be piled
around the stem, eight to twelve inches or
more in height, according to the height
and size Of the tree, so as to prevent its be-
ing disturbed by the winds or heaved out
by freezing This mound of earth will also
prevent the girdling of the trees by mice.
Large trees should be supported by stakes,
if exposed to high winds.
Mulching of newly planted trees, by
placing a quantity of rotted manure or
chip earth around them in the fall, is high
ly beneficial, especially for dwarf trees,
and where the mound of earth is not re-
quired to hold them in position. This
mulching protects the roots, in measure,
from frosts and enriches the ground
Where this is not done in the fall, it should
invariably be done in the spring as pre-
ventive of injury by drouth, as well as to
enrich the soil, and keep it mellow. Dwarf
pear trees need this annual mulching with
straw to keep them in thrifty condition
and enable them to mature good crops Of
fruit.
Grape vines and raspberry bushes are
liable to be injured by the water wher
transplanted in the fall hence, they should
be protected by bending the stems down t.
the surface of the ground, and covering
with earth. Straw or litter is not as good

Rolld away:
Happy day!

How to seal the bitter
From lies woes;

Makes the desert garden

When my weakness leaneth

To abide
At His side.
O, leave 1t all with Jesus,

How to Produce Good Mixers.

1t is certainly to be regretted that more
care is not taken TO improve the milking
qualities of our stock. Extra mixer
should be kept TO breed from; their milk
not taken SO long or in such quantities
that they abort their calves, neither should
their progeny be killed at such an early
age that it is thrown on the dung hill, in
order that all the milk of the dam may 90
to the market or the cheese factory. 1t is
quite as necessary to raise the calves of
good mixers in order to have another
race Of good mixers as it is TO raise the
colts of fine trotters in order to have fast
horses. Extra dairy stock would bring
fancy prices IN the market if their milking
qualities could be vouched for.

all the potato bugs in his garden had dis

RAILROADS.

We were pleased to note that the letter of
our correspondent ar. r." was laid before
the people of Baltimore county last week
through the columns of Tile Union, which
shows that the interest of our neighbors in the
Maryland Central Railroad is still maintain
ed. AS germane to the subject and demon.
strating the advantages of railroad to the
local interests of the country through which
it is built, we give our readers the following
article, from the Gazette of late date, in re-
gard to similar enterprise in another section
of tile State: - ai
The speedy opening of the Western Mary
land Railroad to Mechanicsburg promises
to give new development to most i'm
portant region of our State, and to demon
strate the fact that local road, run for
local taffic, through fertile portion of
Maryland, carries with it the germs of its
own prosperity. Wherever there is sta
ton along the road, there are marks of
thrift and enterprise, and, without being
sanguine, it is easy to predict for this new
route an amount of traffic, after the first of
January, which will do much towards put
ting its credit on footing which its earn
ings will show is deserved. Already the
travel on the road is tenfold what was an
ticipated by many. Men who came to
Baltimore once in five years alone, now
come several times year, with their fam
lilies, and much produce that was wagoned
over common roads is now delivered at
the different railroad depots. At Mechan-
icstown, point will be struck where there
is large country population and much
thriving business. This will add greatly
to the life of the road, and bring to it
trade and travel from the counties to the
city, benefting them and aiding us. 1t is
indeed very evident that at no distant day
the Western Maryland will be regarded as
the pioneer localroad of the western portion
of the State, and that its success will SO
establish the necessity for other roads of
like description, that the Maryland Gen.
trail and the roads through the southern
counties will at once find means, from pri-

Thus physical culture is not neglected
The drill promotes health and generates
strength, and instead of the sickly, pale
students common to most schools, we have
healthy, robust set of young men. We
seldom need medical service, unless it is
for some victim of base ball. The effect
ofdrill is not only the promotion ofhealth !;
that dicipline they receive 70 sters regular
habits, and has strong tendency to make
them prompt and orderly students. The
effect produced here by the connection of
military exercises with the regular exer-
cises of the school; fully convinces me of
the expediency of uniting the two in all
educational establishments. AS an ev-
idence of the standing of the students as
soldiers, l forward this paragraph, taken

to you and to the readers of your excellent
paper, forward this. Your paper is reg
ularly received here, with the other coun-
ty papers of the State, and it is always
given hearty welcome by the students of
the M. A. G., and especially by the Har-
ford boys, We sometimes see letters from
the College in the columns of county news
papers, and I think that our College is
deserving of notice by Hartford periodi-
cal, as she has, by the presence of ten schol-
ars, evinced considerable interest in our in
stitution. We, as true Marylanders, ought
to be proud of the M. A. c. We ought
now to rejoice that we have first class
school in the confines of our own little
State, wherein our young men can receive
a thorough collegiate education, without
being sent, as formerly, out of the State.
The College is conducted by an efficient
faculty, who are worthily discharging the
duties devolving upon them. We are
happy to state that we have in our present
President, Rev. Samuel REGISTER, d. D.,
all the qualities requisite to make him
proper director of the College affairs
His experience and abilities, together
with his knowledge of the boyish charac-
tor, peculiarly fit him for the office. AS
scholar, gentleman and Christian, it
affords me the greatest satisfaction to bear
my testimony to his worth. He is a gen
tleman of bland and amiable manners, and
thus as well qualified by his address, as
by his knowledge, to be an able Instructor
Of youth. His mode of government stimu-
lates the ambition of students, and obtains
their friendship and respect.

partments in most exemplary manner ::

The Maryland Central Railroad.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 22d, 1870.


MEssRs. EDITORS What has become of
the Maryland Central Railroad enterprise
We Baltimoreans have heard nothing of it
for months past. We hope that it has not
died out For awhile we really thought
that the road would be built without de-
lay. DR.. T. e. Bond and others of your
county expressed the opinion last summer,
before many of our citizens, that the road
then stood better chance of being con-
structed than it ever did before.
The great commercial interests of this
city and Baltimore and Hartford counties
in large degree are really suffering for
the want of this railroad. Our capitalists
generally seem satisfied of this fact, and,
if an effort is made to obtain funds, with
out doubt a large amount of money can be
raised in this city. Heretofore the gentle
men having the matter in charge, appar-
emily have been in want of proper energy.
We hope that the enterprise will be push
ed forward Immediately. Baltimore stands
prepared to help in earnest.
