SrrRRISe Soil AROUND TREEs.-Opening or
tightening the soil around the roots of trees,
either in the Spring or Fall. for the purpose of
letting in warmth. and affording aeer medi-
um for the expansion and development of the
roots. is Of graf value in promoting the health
and vigor Of the tree. All trees. whether fruit
or ornamental. young or old, indigenous or cx-
otto. are Vastly benefited BY this process. In
old orchards, the soil abou: the truaks Of trees,
and to q considerable distance from them. in
every direction, should be carefully broken.
and the upper surface, TO the depth of three or
four inches, removed in the Spring, every four
or Ave year.. The eggs of the curcu'io and
other insects are deposited in this stratum. and
if not removed or destroyed, will produce in
sects. the ravages of which the succeeding year
viii be productive Of far greater loss than the
expense Of removing the soil, and replacing it
with compost or loan. 1t is an utterly hope
less undertaking to attempt the cultivation of
good fruit, when no measures are resorted to
to obviate the fatal ravages of this detts,able
and insidious foe, and the remedy now sugges-
ted is By no means expensive, five take into
consideration the advantages otherwise result
ing to the trees from its application.
Any good soil, taken fiom the open fields or
cultivated lands, may be used as substitute
for compost, and a very small, quantity will
suffice. Even if no fresh matter is applied,
would recc mmend the removal of the surface
soil, ard would replace it when convenient.
Chip manure, or old dung covered with straw,
answers well for that purpose Germa ntorn

Framing Apple Trees.

n-runiDS ARRtc
Various opinions have been entertained as
to she time and extent of the operation.
Ssme good caltivators almost entirely omit
pruning--others simply from neglect-Ahile
many farmers prune too severely, using an AZ
or saw on large limbs.
These extremes should be avoided, and
moderate, judicious pruning every year viii be
useful in giving the tree the right form. and
giving the fruit the benefit Of the sun and ar
and removing limbs which cross each other or
will soon do 90.
As TO the season, We al Ike to use the pru
ming knife in the spring. say in March, April
or May. This we may do on small limbs-we
mean very small ones. But If we prune at
that time the larger limbs, We shall find an
oozing of sap, black stem and decaying stump,
but If the pruning is done during the latter part
Of February or the month of March, or IN July
or August, no such bad result will follow.
The writer wou'd avoid midxinter, although
be once pruned thoroughly bearing trees du-
rlng January without any apparent bad results.
Very large limbs should not be removed. as
such wounds are long time in healing; but il
done, the cut surface should be covered with
paint.
I: is well in pruning 10 leave sufficient shade
to the body on the south side Of the tree to
protect it from the sun. With this object in
view, !; has been fashionable to form the head:
of spp'e trees very low, quite too low for con
venisnce in cultivation. We have some trees
forming, the head f-em one to two feet from
the ground, which We find ;nconvenient to
cultivate.
It is inconvenient to cultivate or gather fruit
from such trees. The eads of trees should
be just high enough to admit a team to pas:
under them; when they bear. the limbs vii
bend to the ground, some of them.
In cutting OF limbs, it is a matter of som,
importance that the stumps should be right
not too long, as the new growth would no
cover it. Nor should it be cut too close Il
leave too large wound. A small stiff buck
sa~ works we'll in pruning, and all surfaces
more than, say three fourths Of an inch in di
smcter, should be painted, and then no smooth
iDs of the surface is necessary.
While am writing, will mention tina
some 25 years ago discovered, by experiment
ing. that a decoction or infusion of quassi
was sure to destroy the apLis or leaf louise, bu
had no effect on the bark louise. It does no
irjure the foliage in the least. This was m
own discovery, and published in early number
Of the Prairie Farmer. This is cheaper an

WASH THE TREEs.-It is good time to
scrape and wash the trees-wcshing alone will
do if scraping was done last autumn, as it
should have been. There is nothing like
whale-oii soap and water for this purpose, in
the proportion of a pound of soap to a bucket
of water, say four gallons. This. well-applied
with stiff broom or brush, will dislodge al
the vermin concealed in the bark, crevices. &C.,
but it will have no effect upon the curculio,
however strong it may be. We have found it
to be death to every other insect, and has an
inrigorating effect upon the tree itself.

In the character of Mr.. McCulloch on which,
per Sc, l was disposed to rely. He had Scotch
blood in his veins and had been in politics
a Wing.
This may be proper occasion to say that,
during my whole political life, in all similar
conversations in reference to important poll
tical interests, l never asked or intimated a
desire to receive, directly or indirectly any
thing in the shape of pledge or promise;
nor have l ever, in reference to such things,
regarded man from whom such pledges
or promises, were required or who was
capable of giving them, worthy of confidence
or respect After Mr.. Lncoln's first election
as President, he invited me to Springfield,
where 1 passed two days with him in free
consultation about the great questions upon
which he would be called to act. Mr.. Lin
coin was frank and unrestrained, evidently
inviting corresponding frankness and freedom
on my part. His Cabinet, his inaugural, his
policy, ETC. etc., were fully discussed; and
when l was about to take my leave, Mr..
Lincoln inquired playfully if had not forgot
ten something, adding, after a moments s
pause, "You have not asked for any offices.

l should probably, like hosts of other friends,

interviews with that gentleman, if pro-
tracted, were made SO by his intelligent,
right and straightforward expression
of views and opinions. If, in going to Mr..
McCulloch, 1 had something of the feeling
of ''Toots" in calling on "Captain Cuttle'
for the ''favor of his friendship, left him
with a strong feeling of regard and conf.

myself, who was frequently compelled tc
occupy his time and attention, he was uni
