RAISE YoUR OwN Trees. - Farmers and
frui:-growers often complain that the trees
they buy lack sufficient root, having been
mangled and cut off in digging, and say II
they could only 20 to the nursery them
selves and oversee the digging OF the trees.
they could have much better success Now
this can be easily obviated by purchasing
from one to two thousand apple gratis. and
setting them out in the spring six inches
apart in the rows, and rows four feet
apart and when three years old they can
be carefully dug, and set out immedl-
ately after digging. Or one or two year
old trees can be purchased, and set one foot
apart in the row, and rows four feet apart,
and allowed to stand one or two years, and
then transpanted into the orchard. Many
farmers sons would find it pleasant,
money making business to purchase few
thousand gratis at from only six to seven
dollars per thousand, and set them a. above
described, and in three years time at least
two-thirds of them would become good.
saleable trees at from fifteen to twenty
dollars per thousand An advantage that
farmer would have who wished to get out
an orchard of from two 10 three hundred
first class trees is that he would have his
choice from double that number, If one
thousand gratis were set.-FrH Rcc6rdcr.

MIDpLEBuRY CoLLEGE.-rhe students in
our college have not forgotten their roguish
boy tricks, as the following recent affair
goes to show \ short time since, the JAM
tor of the college was aroused from his
slumbers one night and suspected that mat
tiers around the college were at rather loose
ends lie proceeded at once to make ex-
ploration OF the grounds, when he heard in
the distance from different points, the toot-
ing of horns, and soon all was silent. Moth
ing was discovered. and the janitor return
ed to his house. Soon again however, noises
were heard that convinced him that
rogues were at work. lie accordingly began
anew his tour of exploration, and found,
sure enough, that one of the recitation
rooms in the chapel building, had piled up
in it over two cords Of wood. 900 fee of
boards and some lengths of picket fence.
He summoned aid and cleared the room and
had it ready for morning recitation, which
the young men for good reason wished to
avoid The thought occurs to my mind that
some hard work was accomplished In
carving up stairs the wood, lumber
and fence, and the boys must have been
vexed when they saw all their labors
brought to naught. One thing is certain
that the the fellows had some good whole
some exercise if nothing more. and that
is certainly gain to them, and if it was
fun to them. it was most certainly harm
less in its character. - Middiebury Cor.
