FARMAND HOUSEHOLD.
TranspIantIng Large Trees.

As general rule, we never advise the
purchase or transplanting Of very old
trees still, If the requisite care Is given,
they may often be used quite advantage
ously-particularly II not transported any
considerable distance. We have trans.
plated apple, pear, and cherry trees that
were ten to fifteen years old, and their
growth was bat slightly checked by the
removal. In regard TO the proper method
Of performing this operation, there are
almost as many different opinions as there
are men who undertake II, and each and
every one of them believe that their par
ticular way is the best. This diversity of
opinion among gardeners only proves
that trees hold ON TO life very tenaciously,
and will Withstand considerable i'll treat
ment.
One of the most laborious and expen-
sive methods is that of transplanting in
winter, with q ball of frozen earth sur
rounding the roots; but we do not believe
that this expensive mode is ever really
necessary, or of sufficient importance 10
pay for the extra expense incurred.
Neither do we attach any considerable
importance TO ball of earth about the
roots at any other time; although with
small cvergreens, It may be we'll to leave
all the soil that will adhere. We prefer
to remove sll large deciduous trees soon
after the leaves have fallen off in the au-
tumn, or very early In the spring.
The most important point to be OBJ
served is the preservation of roots the
more, the better, although it is seldom
that all can be retained. First, remove
the soil from above the roots with spade
or shovel, then with spading fork work
| ii from among them, being careful not TO
| bruise or break, but carefully follow each
and every one to their extreme ends.
When all the roots have been separated
| from the soil, lift the tree, and shorten the
branches severely. At least one.half
the entire length of all large branches
should be cut away, and quite often two
thirds would not be too much.
We consider severe pruning TO be ofthe
| utmost importance to all transplanted
trees, and with large ones it should never
| be omitted. If the trees are to be carried
| to any considerable distance, or remain
| out of the soil even for few hours, the
| roots must be protected and not allowed
to get dry.
In replanting, cover the roots only as
| deep as they were originally, and spread
out each and every one in a natural DO.
sition, then tread the soil firmly upon
them, being careful to fill up the spaces
between the large as well as small ones
If rain should not come within few days
after planting, few pals of water may
aid in settling the soil about the roots
but we have never found it necessary to
water a tree that was properly planted
either in spring or fall. A careful pres
ervation of roots, severe pruning of the
branches, and then planting with care
will generally save almost any tree, how
ever large Hearth and Home.

Mrs. Grants Express Package.

package, the value of which was entered
at $4,000, and which package was adj.

letter was summoned at once, and yester-
day testified to these alleged facts. This
morning the books of the express com.
pany were brought up, and the aforesaid
entry was duly examined for verification,
IL was found that instead of a $4,000
money package, which would have been
exactly one years salary of her excellent
husband, Il was only a package of the
value Of $3.50, containing lady's gold
watch, purchased of and shipped by
Messrs. Ball, Black 4 Co, of New York

PRUNING CURRANTs.-It is not advisa-
BILE to subject all varieties of currants to
the same system of pruning. The COM
lion red and white currants produce their
fruit mainly on small spurs, growing on
wood two or more years old, while on the
black currants (Ribes nigrd) the fruit is
borne mainly on the wood of the preced-
ing year. In the first-named varieties,
shortening the young wood, If very long,
aids in the production of fruit.spurs, while
in the latter 1t would lessen the number
of fruit, although 1t might increase the
size. The black currants require but little
pruning, except in the way Of thinning
out superfuous branches, and the occa-
sional shortening of very luxuriant shoots.
The other sorts should not only be prun-
ed for the purpose of keeping up supply
of young, healthy shoots of two and three
years old, but careful thinning out of
old and decayed stems. After a branch
has borne two or three crops, it should be
removed, and younger one allowed to
take its place.-Hedrh and Home.

Crashing Of Teeth.

OUR amiable Democratic brethren do
not take kindly to the adoption of the
Fifteenth Amendment. Now that the re-
quisite number of States has been Sc
cured they raise their voices in anguish
and positively refuse to be comforted.
The Rochester Union proposes mot to
consider it binding on any State that has
rejected it." Some of the Democratic pa
pers of Ohio declare that it must not be
submitted to, while the leading Demo.
cratic paper of Alabama calls upon Gov
ernor Hoffman, of New York, to take the
field and summon New Jersey, Kentucky,
and rebeldom generally, to seize upon the
Capital and call a convention to frame a
new Constitution, or, at least, prune of
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
mentsl
The leading organ of sham Democracy
in Ohio-the Cincinnati Epquirer-says
that the mere adoption of the Fifteenth
Amendment will not end the discussion
it will then only be begun. Very well.
If this be the programme of sham De-
mocracy, the Republicans will make no
objection. If we are to have an eternal
niger on an eternal woodpile in our poll
tics, just for Republicans to civilize and
elevate, and sham Democracy to wallop,
we shall accept the situation with cheer
fulness, and march on to the tune of eter-
nal Republican Victories and sham Demo
cratic funerals Toledo Blade.

Apiary for March.

Bees Ont doors Raise the hives and
clean the stands. Brush dead bees from
among the combs and cut out mouldy
pieces. Look to the strength of your
stocks, unite weak swarms and feed light
ones The best way to feed now is to
open the holes in the top, put thereon
honey sealed in the comb, and cover with
a close fitting box. Scatter unbolted rye
flour in large shallow boxes near the
hives before the bees get taste of pollen
from the flowers. Look out for loss of
queens-about one in fifty is the average
Immature bees and eggs on the bottom
board are the indications of her presence
With movable combs she may be readily
found. No matter how strong now, a
queenless stock would probably run down
by swarming time. If such hive should
be neglected and chance to be diseased, it
would undoubtedly be robbed and the
fearful pestilence spread broadcast In
uniting swarms, hives partly or entirely
filled with combs are left. If these are
clean and in good condition, save them
with care. From ten to fifteen pounds of
honey are required for the secretion of
one OF wax, hence, neper melt up good
toorker como. Such, thoroughly frozen in
the winter and kept protected from the
moth, will keep indefinitely, but if the
bees are taken out too late TO freeze it,
tumigate with sulphur occasionally. Put
swarms into such hives, taking special
care not to break the combs when new
and heavy with honey.
Bees In'd0ors.-Set out on the first warm
day-a few at first, as far apart as posi-
Dle, more in two or three hours, and so on.
Place them as nearly as possible on stands
occupied by same hives last year. Bees
will probably mix some with utmost care;
examine in a day or two, and equaliIe by
causing strong and weak to interchange
stands. If cold weather supervenes, the
weak ones should be set back till it passes

A Torpid System.

Sometimes, without any sssignable cause, the
physical strength and animal spirits give way, and
strange torpor falls alike the body and intellect.
There is little pain perhaps, but the natural
vgor and elasticity Of the nervous and muscular
system seem to have departed, and an indiffer-

responsibilities takes the place of that earnest in.
terest in both which characterizes every we'll
balanced mind when in healthy condition.
This state of partial collapse is often the pre-
monitory symptoms Of some serious malady. 1t
indicates unmstakably that the vital powers are
languishing and need a stimulant. In such cases
the effect of a few doses OF Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is wonderfully beneficial The great tonic
wakes up the system frOm its browse. The secre-
tions and the circulation receive new empetus.
The relaxed nerves recover their elasticity under
the operations OF the specific, like the slackened
strength of musical instrument in the process OF
tuning. Lethargy and debility are replaced by
energy and vgor, the spirits rise. and life that al
most seemed burden while the season OF depres-
sion lasted becomes once more enjoya BILE, That
such radical change should be prod uced by a
remedy entirely devoid of the powerful alkalods
and minerals so extensively used In modern prac-
tice may seem incredible to those who pin their
faith on the medicinal efficacy of active poisons,
but II these skeptics win take the trouble to en-
quire of those who have tested the corrective and
Alternative virtues of the Bitters under the circum-
stances described, they will find the statement to
he true.

HENS, this season of the year, are very
liable to devour their eggs, unless supplied
with 'ariety of nourishing food at regular
hours, several times every day.
THE Stock Journal advises big horse
for regular farm work, and one that does
not, without great pushing, trot more than
six miles an hour with light buggy.
A WESTERN writer says if as much at.
tention was paid to improving corn as Is
given to grapes, hundred million bushels
might be added TO the annual crop.
SWEET APPLES are said to be excellent
for milch cows, when fed in connection
with cut feed, or hay. Four quarts fed
twice daily after other feed will be more
satisfactory than eight quarts fed at one
time.
