TRANSATLANTIC EvERaREENs.-The
best season for transplanting is June OF
July. The Hon. Samuel Walker, once
President of the Massachusetts, Horticul
tural Society, who owned then extensive
nurseries, in Roxbury, transplanted 100
arbor vitae trees for the writer on the LIST
day Of August, waranting every one to
live, and only one or two died. They
should be watered at the time and mulched
but not watered again unless very dry
weather and then not oftener than once a
week, as they do not require as much wa
ter as deciduous trees and may be killed by
too much. The late N. p. Willis thanked
the writer for the above information and
said he had tried the experiment at Idle
wild, on the Hudson, with perfect success
many years ago.-Dorchester Heights.

Sowing Grass Alone.

A writer in the Rural Neic Yorker
says Now, do not believe in any of
the old-time nonsense of sowing grass seed
or clover with oats, rye or wheat, Just be-
cause somebody said it was the best way.
If man wants field seeded with timo-
thy, SOW that and nothing else; and the
same way with any other kind Of grass, or
even clover, for any Of them viii grow far
better alone than when crowded, shaded,
or the soil about the roots robbed Of its
moisture by some coarse, rank growing
grain. OF course on rich, moist soils, a
man may seed down with grain and there
by save one season but it is poor policy
to follow this system on old, nearly worn
out soils, even if our fathers and grand
fathers always did 50. Then again it is
folly to mix clover and timothy together
in the same field, for they are never both
in the proper condition for cutting at the
same time, and little musty, oyer-ripe
clover mixed in with the hay, adds moth
ing to its value. By keeping both sepa-
rate each can be cut when in the best
condition for hay; and this rule will hold
good with all kinds Of forage plants.

The Philadelphia Press is in favor Of
making practical use Of the new line Of
ocean steamships established there, so as
to obtain labor for the counties adjoining
Philadelphia, which require help on the
farm, in the dairy and harvest. A large
portion Of the arabic land Of Delaware and
Chester counties, for example, is said to
be practically waste, and Of that under
culture very small proportion is given to
products that the industrial interests in
Philadelphia require. The Press peril
nently remarks that the best importation
America can make is Of men, not of the
products Of mems labor in other countries.
It is as true Of large portions Of Maryland
as Of the localities referred to by the Press,
that good deal is not well cultivated and
a good deal not cultivated at ALL We
have ocean steamship facilities for obtain
ing immigration, and they bring large
numbers Of Immigrants, only, however, to
tantalize us by most of them passing
through our borders to the far West, leav-
ing but an inconsiderable number to cast
their fortunes among us. Even of these,
such as have been obtained for farm labor,
have in some localities, especially the Eas-
tern Shore and other corn growing sec.
lions, become dissatisfied and left. We
can only attribute this 10 the fact, that nc
proper preparation was made to meet their
peculiar needs and modes Of life. The
bacon and corn bread so acceptable to the
class Of agricultural laborers on whom we
so long depended do not suit Europeans
who are used to more Of vegetable diet
and wheat or rye for bread. 1t would
seem the dictate Of common sense to sell
bacon, which is costly, and buy for the
newcomers what they want, and at the
same time give larger attention to growing
root crops, as potatoes, turnips, beets, &c
While our own rural districts are suffering
for want Of labor, it is stated that a good
farm labo.er in Gloucestershire and other
parts Of England works for twelve dollars
a month UNITED States currency and
finds himself, and in many cases gives in
addition, without pay, the help Of his boy
Of twelve or fourteen years Of age. II
would seem that properly organized sys-
tenn Of procuring emigrants, and proper
methods of treating them after they have
been secured, might enable us to obtain
plenty Of workers. Inthe meantime these
workers desire the opportunity to acquire
lands Of their own in small tracts, and
where the sensible disposition prevails to
encourage and aid them in this, they are
most likely to remain, attracting others,
from time to time. who win hire, and
whose children win grow up in the neigh
borhood, to the advantage Of all, by in
crease of population, Improvement and
division of the lands, and the general en-
HANGED accumulation Of wealth and the
means Of education. Baltimore Sun.

THE NEW RING FRAUDS.

forth newly discovered frauds in the erection of

THE LIBERAL CLUB.
A Paper by Professor Elsbergh ON "The
Subdivisions of Science.o

A Paper by Professor Elsbergh ON "The
Subdivisions of Science.,
The hall of the Liberal Club was crowded last
night, on the occasion OF the reading of paper by
DR.. Louis Elsbergh on the subject of ''The Sub
divisions of Science and their Consultations. ~
This is the seventh lecture on the classified.
ton Of science within year. "The distinguish
ing characteristics Of man," he said, ''were GEN.
tired in his ability to know and ito do,
knowledge known and systematized becomes sci
ence, as IN similar manner action has given rise
to art. Each subdivision Of science in which SUI
ficient amount OF exact knowledge has been &C
cumuated to have been generalized and systema-
tized Is entitled to the distinction OF an indepen-
dent science. But we should lose sight OF the
fact that all these are really parts Of whoe-viz,
human knowledge. The lecturer quoted from Her.
bert Spencer mo succession IN which the sci.
ences can be placed represents either their logical
dependence or their historical dependence and he
quoted from Auguste Conte "There can be no
hierarchy OF SCIENCE" He then produced q chart,
with tables by which he illustrated his subject, and
won high encomiums from those present.
The other speakers were Professor Van Den
Weyd and Drs. Weatherbee, Lambert Atkinson and
Wakeman.
