Planting Apple Trees.

Apple trees for winter fruit
should be planted Oh the lowest
land; northern exposure is best
in this climate. In ali cases the
fruit will be best in low lands
for keepers. Trees planted on
higher lands Will be less liable
to bekilled by late spring frosts.
The best soil is sandy loan,
mixed with limestone. Natu-
raj growth Of timber-chestnut
and white oak. When the soil
is fight clay, as in most Of our
soil, it should be SUBSIDIZED and
well fertiIized with vegetable
mould. Where the soil is too
wet it should be mderdrained.
If the soil is very open holes
may be dug two or three feet
deep and four wide, and filled
with rich earth. But if the
land is tight don't dig any deep
cr than your subsoil plough
goes, as thisis injurious to the
trees, Fill the holes nearly full
.of rich earth or well compost,
then place your trees in with the
roots in their natural position
and fill in with a shovel, occa-
sionally shaking the tree so that
the earth viii mix with the
roots. Keep your trees straight
and heap up the earth around,
twelve or fifteen inches to pre-
serve the roots and hold the
trees straight through winter.
This mound should be taken
down level about the first of
May.

HOW Farmers are Paid.

The Rev. Asa Harmon deliver
ed an address before the Union
County Farmers Association, at
Jonesboro, recently, and in the
course OF his remarks made use
of the following incident to show
how farmers are paid for their
labor: - 5f
ga certain farmer had labored
all the forenoon to cut a cord of
wood. In the afternoon be took
his team and hauled it three miles
to wealthy man doing business
in the city. The inquiry being
made as to the price for his wood,
the farmer replied, 'ope dollar
per cord what, said the par
chaser, zone dollar for cord of
wood. We will not be able to live
at that. l cannot give but seven
ty-fve cents SO seventy-iive cents
was taken. 1t took one halt day
to cut it, one. bali day with team,
man and wagon to haul tall
for seventy-fve cents. A few
days alter a poor farmer | mean
in purse) stepped into his (the man
to whomthe wood was solG) office,
to get little business done
When completed the question was
asked, How much am | owing
you? Two and a half dollars, was
the reply. Ii was paid and not a
word Of complaint from he farmer
was heard. This | think is a
fair illustration of what the farm.
er receives for his lator and what
he pays when labor is done for
Fhim.''
How many incidents near akin
10 this could our farmers relate.
If they would but refresh their
memories and jot down their ex-
periences? It's this exacting 50
much from the farmerfor SO little,
and giving so little for so much,
that keeps them behind all other
workers,

KEEPING GREEN CoBN.-The
following inexpensive mode of
preserving green corn for table
use after itsseason has passed is
suggested by an eXperimenter:
Dip the ears in boiling water and
letihem remain about two niu-
utes; take them out, and when
cool cut the corn from the cob and
dry it, just as you would dry
lruit, and when airy put it away
in clean paper sacks. BY this
meansoue may enjoythe luxury Of
green corn at any time"

TALES OF 4 GRANDFATHER.
From London Fun,l

Giddy girls, you may laugh at your grand
father now,
And enjoy putting pins In his chair.
Doubled up Is this figure, and furrowed this
brow;
Very scant are these teeth and this hair.
You may speak of me still in your soft pretty
way,
AS the qIlaintcst old image unhung;
But Il fond recollection survives my decay
was very goodlo0king when young.
Half u century does make n sort of kind
or difference, mark you, my dearS,
And the Driei way 10 reckon my age up, find,
Is IN tens or in dozens of years,
! must be about eighty, or SO, by the clock,
But my mind is II little unstrung,
And my. talent for counting has come to q
block
/ was brilliant at counting when young.
In the dash-along, hard-livlng Regency days
was prince OF the fashion and style,
When drove in the Park with my carriage
and bays,
Even Brummel bent low at my smile.
What was gold? a mere nothing. In plea
sure and play,
Far and wide, IL got scattered and flung;
For, though now on the parish, proudly can
say
was rolling in riches when young.
on the flirting, and frolic, and fun that we
had
was called an Adonis in curls.
