Pln.tinq.-The ground should be
properly prepared for trees, so that they
may be Immediately set out as soon as
they arrive from the nursery. Trees order
ed last fall, and which were properly heeled
in at the time, can be set out until quite
late, as such trees do not commence their
growth so carly as those recently taken
from nursery rows. Directions have been
given in previous numbers as to the treat
ment Of trees which arrive with the bark
.shriycled. In planting, be sure and ore.
pare a good-sized hole for the roots, as one
OF, the most fruitful sources of loss Of trees
in young orchards is due to their roots
being crowded into a small hole. In
selecting trees for an orchard, do not take
those which have long naked trunks,
but prefer those with low and well-shaped
heads.
Grafting.-Graft cherry and plum stocks
before the buds have started. Other trees
may be left until the buds have swelled,
provided the scions were cut before the sap
had started.
Root Crafts may be set out in light,
mellow soil as soon as the weather will
permit.
Old Pastures are improved by good
narrowing in the spring. Let the harrow
teeth be sharp. Put on three or four
horses, and weight the harrows. There is
no danger of pulling up too much of the
sod. Sow on little fresh grass seed and
three or four pounds white clover per acre.
Potatoes. a rule, it is better to plant
potatoes as early as the ground can be got
IN good condition.. For an early crop, Of
course we must plant early. For winter
use, the late varieties, such as Peachblow,
should be planted early. Cover them three
or four inches deep, and harrow the land
as soon as any weeds appear, or before,
with Thomas harrow. 1t will not pull
up any of the potatoes. and will break the
crust, stimulate the growth Of the potatoes,
and kill thousands of weeds. For late
planting, the early varieties are best.
Lice-Stock.-In the hurry Of spring
work, do not neglect the animals. See
Hints for last month.
Horses that have been at rest during the
winter should be worked only moderately
at first. See that the collars fit, and that
the parts that come in contact with the
shoulders are clean and soft. Wash the
shoulders with salt and water. If the
skin becomes infiamed or sore, battle it with
petroleum mot kerosene), or wash with
warm water and carbolic soap. Keep the
feet and legs clean. Wash them if neces-
sary, and rub them dry. At noon remove
the harness and clean the horses. Feed
cut hay moistened with water and sprin-
Killed. over with meal or bran. This can be
eaten quicker than long hay, and the horses
have more time to digest it before going
back to work. AT night always clean the
horses thoroughly and make them COM
Portable. This is more important than
cleaning in the morning. Let them have
all the salt they will eat.

Early Marriage.

There are hundreds of young men that
should be married who are not married To
marry early is discreet and wise. And when
men and women are of a marrageable age
| think il to be, in general, true, that it is
wholesome for them to be married. 1t is
net necessary that they should remain sin
gle because they stand in poverty; for two
can live cheaper than one, if they live with
discretion, if they live as they ought to live.
If the young man is willing to seem poor
when he is poor; ifthe young woman, being
poor. il willing to live poorly; if they are
willing to plant their lives together like two
seeds, and wait for their growth, and look
for their abundance by and by, when they
have fairly earned it, then it is good thing
for them to come early into this partner
ship. For characters adapt themselves to
each other in the carly periods of lite far
more easily than they do afterward, They
who marry early are like vines growing to-
pether, and twinmg round and round each
other: whereas. multitudes of those who
marry late in life stand side by side like
two iron columns, which, being separated
at the beginning, never come any nearer
to eoch other. There is no school which
God ever opened, or permitted to be opened,
which young people can so i'll afford to
avoid as the school of care and response
bilty and labor in the household; and IA
Young man and young women marrying. no
matter from what source they come togeth-
