(arc OF Newly Planted Trees.

AtnO time i'll the life Of the tree
docs it need more are than the first
season after it is transferred to the
orchard. Removed from a sheltered
position to one too often exposed on
every side, taken from the rich soil
and hot-housc culture Of the nursery
and placed in the common soil OF the
orchard, it needs at least commoncatH
to aid it in accommodating Itself to
ih changed circumstances. Unless
this is given, some will die and others
will be injured in their vitality, nd
live along Il few years and then ule.
Much of the deformed and imp rtect
growth of black heart, and dis ased
wood, undoubtedly has its orig n in
injury acCruing from neglect o. mis-
management in their early growth ;
but tic losses and failures co ming
from these are cited as conclusive
proof that the soil or climate is not
adapted to raising fruit, or thai this
particular variety is not sufficiently
hardy, instead of being attributed to
their true cause.
Tho trees should be well mulched,
or the soil stirred frequently around
the body of the tree, and kept light
and porous throughout the season.
Mulchiug is much preferable, AS it
keeps tho soil at 4 uniform tempera-
turc md moisture. For this puipOse
old ly, coarse manure or lGaves,
with g little earth on top to keep
them from blowing away, may be
used. The hot days of July, August,
and september are usually the most
trying on young trees, al the hot dry
winds and the direct rays of the sun
are continually drawing out the mois-
turc from the bark, leaves and twigs
Of the rec &; and in times of drought,
or where the trees are unmulched and
the same agencies have exhausted the
humidity Of the soil, the tree fails to
receive sufficient moisture from the
roots to supply this draught upon it,
and also maintain Il perfect and hardy
growth; o" at leastmakcs but a feeble
growth Of mripe, tender wood.
In very dry seasons, to get sufficient
moisture, in addition to the mulch, il
may be necessary 10 water by hand,
Irthc bark has become dry and it'll
cred, some benefit will be derived
from washing, or s~prinkling the tree
each evening with water or weak
soapsudS.
Trees suffer more in this usually
dry climate from lack Of moisture
where the grounds seeded down, and
this is the reason why we recommend
cultivation of the orchard, especially
when yung. BY mulching under
the trees aud tilIing between the rows
a much more vigorous and hardy
growth will be secured, which, W.
think, will add materially to the fruit,
%fulness and longevity of our orchards

The Prize Picture.-We have Just
received o o p Of the large Steel Engraving
that Is presented TO each subscriber TO DEM.
~oREsr'S ILLUSTRATED MONTHLY, and we
must confess we were taken by surprise.
The whole engraving Is done in line and
stipple, and is a charming picture in all its
details, Independent Of Its pleasing subject
It is o work Of art, q you'd be a valuable
ornamentfor any parlor. As an illustration
Of American genius in the design and execu-
ton ofthe engraving, It is unsurpassed. Each
head is q picture in itself. The principal
feature Of the subject, however, is the serIO-
comic incident Of the breaking down of a
soup by acOrpulent individual, who had been
induced to try his skillin swinging.
There are sixteen figures under helargeout-
spreading treeand near the soup forming the
principle group, and seven Others In the Gore
ground, making twenty-seven an all. Each
face has its own humorous, or startled ak
preston, indicating the feeling that has been
awakened by the accident. The figures In
the foreground are interesting themselves IN
various ways, Fourth OF July is indicated
by the display of American flags, packs of
h~re-crackers among the debris of the dinner,
and the pistol in the hands Of q saucy urchin
who, from behind a large log, on which o
couple Of lovers are sitting while the question
Is being popped. pops his pistol. These with
other admirable details make up q picture
that has no superior forts faithful represen-
tation OF human life and character. Our
wonder is how the publishers can anord TO
furnish so costly apicture 70 each subscriber
at only $780, The Monthly alone being the
acknowledged Parlor Magazine Ofthe coun-
try. and worth all that is asked for Il, while
