fue frozen ball method Of removing or
namental trees is preferred by many TO all
others for some purposes. Il is well ADAM
ted to evergreens growing wild, if they are
of much size. In order that it may be easily
and expeditiously performed, preparation
should be made in autumn or before the
ground freezes hard, by digging trench in
the shape of circle about every tree a foot
deep, or as far down as the frost penetrates;
and then filling these trenches with dead
leaves, which are always abundant at this
time of year in the borders of woods or
wherever these trees are sought. The
leaves viii prevent the trenches from
freezing in winter, and The earth within
them being frozen hard, the trees are easily
loosed and tipped over, and may then be
readily transferred to sleds and conveyed
TO their place of destination, where holes,
dug at the same time that the trenches were
mad :, and similarly filed with leaves if
convenient, or left open and frozen, may
receive them. Ii holes and balls are both
frozen hard, and are nearly equal in size,
the first thaw viii soften the ball aRd give
il a close fit. But it is rather better to keep
the hole unfrozen, so that the ball may be
snugly imbedded in the mellow earth when
placed there. For we'll rooted nursery
trees this mode is not applicable; but we
have found it well adapted to the removal
OF evergreens from the borders of woods in
winter, when the work could be more de-
liberately attended to than during the busy
period of the spring. - Country Gentleman

To the Editor of the Union and American:
1t may BE- proper TO state ia the beginning
that tire action Of 'pl2ster upon land is
vsrv obscure and yelled in the deepest
mystery, some asserting with the utmsst
decree Of confidence that it is owing entirely
to the dec0mp0sigg action of pure ammonia.
This viii become apparent to any thinking
individual to be ut erly absurd, and Gs we
have the authority of the most eminent
scientific men in cur favor, we Will not stop
to consider this theory in full. have heard
the idea advanced that the way in which it
was rendered useful was by being held ia a
state Of solution by water; now this is also
entirely uIteDabie owing to the slight
solubility of gypsum and the amount Of
water required; we might proceed thus ad
iRfnjt1GH but we haya neither the time nor
the Inflammation to &c so.
Alter much study have thought it prop
er to advance the following theory, which
seems to me TO be more in The bounds of
chemical affinity than any other which has
ever Hen under my notice. Firstly, am
monia is found most largely in the form of
the carbonate, or in other words, combined
with c1rbonic acit. Secondly, the carbon
aceOuS compounds, such as "peat, muck,
and even vegetable mold, have the power
OF absorbing and retaining ammonia with
a good degree Of tenacity." Taking these
two facts as the basis of operations, we
proceed as follows: The ammonia, or rather
| should say the carbonate of ammonia.

other, CLebig,) and the elements thus
liberated are now brought under the
influence Of different chemical afiinities,
they unite anew and the two resulting COM
pounds are the sui plate lfammonia, and the
carbonate Of fme (Liebig.) Nos fact
which although it may not be of much i'm
po1tance in Itself, yet serves to prove most
corClusively, at least TO my mind, the cor
rectness Of the foregoing theory: suppose
that it is generally known that plaster be-

once have father and son represented the
same State at one time In both Houses), of
the navy and old navy quarrels, Of gambling
in Washington, and poets vagRries. Whist,
he remarks, was favorite game with the
foreign ministers and the elder statesmen
of good many years ago. MFR.
Clay, Gen. Scott, Mr. Bodisco and
Minister FoxEoften played together, hun
bred dollars being the usual stake: Gov.
Marcy liked the game, but not the betting;
Mr.. Webster played it, but indiffere nt.y;

FARM AND GARDEN.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. EGG,

SHALL INDUSTEEES-R EGGS
Eggs are now worth thirty cents dozen
in Washington city, at wholesale, and are
likely to go higher. Farmers, their wives
and daughters, can produce this staple at 2
large profit, by reducing the business TO a
proper system. To keep eggs sound and
fresh from summer to Christmas requires
knowledge and care. Melted butter is as
good as anything to I'll the pores in egg
shells to exclude the air and prevent che
mical change in the seni-fuid meat to be
preserved for months. When egg are to be
consumed at home, It is best to pack them
in ground land plaster. For marketing,
this mineral is too heavy, and cats are bet
ter. Eggs should be kept in as cool a place
as can be found. A flock Of hens well
taken care of will lay an average Of some
40 eggs each every year. Wei! faLted
dressed poultry sells high in all large cities.
Poor, and mean stock had better not go 10
market. This remark applies to sheep, cattle
and hogs, as well IS poultry. Skillful
farmers have developed faatidious taste in
every thing. Choice fruit commands fancy
prices; and markets are not half supplied.
The same is true of butter and cheese.
Inferior articles are drug, and every ear
entail loss on the producer; shabby hogs
and cattle, and scabby sheep stand ia the
same bad :epute. Honest industry IS not
enough TO command q living profit at this
time. Professional intelligence must direct
this industry, or half the eggs and butter
obtained early in the season will be spoilt by
New Year. There is science in keeping
all perishable property, not less than art in
producing it; and there are so many who
never learn any industrial science, that those
vino do hare the world in their power.
Sound industrial education should be ex-
tended to all; and people wrong themselves,
If they fail to teach one another, after
learning all they can about their occupa-
tons.

it from the wagon or cart. AS a general
fact and practice, plaster and clover manure
land cheaper and to wider extent than
any droppi0gs of farm stock; and the ten
dency has been for forty years to rely mora

renovating crops. Two thousand pounds
of dry clover roots, stems and leaves, rot

that from the garden house. Bones broken
