Are our farmers paying enough attention to
their growing hedges! After several years OBJ
servafion of growing hedges in Kansas, we are
thoroughly convinced that no good substantial
stock can be grown from Usage orange without
care and attention.
We noticed many hedges herea5out being neg
lected in culture and training both. The hedge
law will not always last, it behOves every
farmer to remember. Hedge fences eau he sue
cessfully grown in Kansas in the course of from
three to five years. owing entirely to the train
ing and culture. Hedge rows should have as
much attention as rows of concentrated and
kept clear of weeds. Besides, to make a solid
fence, care must be taken not to allow the body
of the hedge to get away from the grnnnd. Keep
your hedges well trimmed down until they are
matnred. The closer the limbs are to the foot of
the stalk OF ground, the better hedge you will
have. After hedge has once grown tall aud
struggling, no labor will ever make it pig
tight" fence. There are hundreds of miles of
hedge now growing in this and adjoining CoGu-
ties, but we tell the owners they never will have
fences unless they care well for the hedge the
first three years. Another thing, well set and
matured Usage orange fence may be killed by
freezing, OF fire but il will stand until the roots
have sent up among the old shrubs as good a
new fence as the old one was.-UichitG Eagle.

PLANTING FRUIT TREES.


The following suggestions by Andrew D fui-
Ter, are especially valuable:
In planting trees of all kinds there are certain
rules aud conditions that should be remembered
and practiced.
1. Plant early, before the spring rains are over
and the soil settled and dry. There Is little dan
ger of doing this work too early in the spring,
provided the coil is in condition to handle read
lily.
,. In removing trees, either large or small,
more or less roots will be cut of or broken; con-
sequently, corresponding number OF the bran
ches should be Renowned or shortened Ii Is al
ways safe 10 give the roots the advantage by
reducing the branches, leaving less top than
root, especially with decidnous trees.
g. In removing trees like maple, birch, and
similar kinds, from which the sap flows freely
from the wounds made stem or branches IN
spring, always dig up and cot Loose the roots
from the soil before pruning, because TINS pre-
vents excessive bleeding, it is termed. Grape-
vines are no exception to this rule, aithonSh
many persons think it will not do to Prune them
in the spring, even if they are transPiahted at
the time.
4. In planting always pack the soil firmly
above the roots "f trees, and also carefully I'LL
mp all iuterstices between them.
S. In removing trees FINN one place to another
and during the operation of planting, Keep the
roots moist, and exclude them as much as P"ssi-
BILE from drying winds aud the direct rays of the
sun.
6. Arrange the roots in natural position. DIES
ceudipg from the stem outward, and place them
no deeper than they were originally. Of course
allowance mnst be made for the loose soil with
which they are covered To beeome compact.
z. Large trees with few brace roots require
stalking when first planted, to prevent swaying
aIsout and breaking the young rDo,lets they
push ont into the soil.

silver Manic a. . shade Free.

From its very rapid growth, and making so
uuick shade, as well as cheapness, this variety
Of maple is more extensively planted both in
town and country, than any other. 1t has also
the merit of being extremely hardy. In the
country, it is not attacked by insects, and i'll the
cities is not destroyed by them.
Its demerit, as usually managed, is that ii is
not a compact tree, being lose and open in the
head, and its long branches and soft wood are
often terribly injured and broken by storms. To
remedy both these and make of silver maple II

as compact as a Norway maple or horse chestnut

buildings. or for protection, the silver maple is
remarkably well adapted, and cannot be spared.
Were il not sn common and cheap it would be
more admired. The leaf is really very pretty,
especially the .silyery appearance on the under
side, and by thorough and repeated trimming as
proposed it will deserve to have a place among
our finer ornamental trees.
The silver maple has also another advantage
over the silver poplar, and other fast growing
trees, in that it does not throw mp suckers.

Use Of Pho.pheru. in Neuralgia.

A valuable paper has been contributed by DIR.
J. Ashburton Thompson to the Practitioner on
the of phosphorus in neuralgia, large doses
being employed by him for this purpose, and
with marke Success. He records eighteen cases,
ard arranges them in three classes-acute pri-
mary attacks, acute recurrent attacks and chronic
cases. Six cases occnr in each class. In the
first class, the ages ranged between twenty five
and forty-six; in the second, between thirty and
sixty; in the third, between twenty four and
forty, Some of the patients suffered from tri-
geminal, some FROM vico-occiptal, some from
cervico-brachial neuralgia, and one in the sec
omd class from sciatica All the cases in the first
two classes were cured; of the third class, three
cured, one of the patients having been oflic-
ted sixteen years without week freedom from
pain; two, both consumptive, were relieved; and
one accomplished case, woman aged forty,
with affection of the fifth nerve of ten months
duration, failed to be benefited, although she
was treated for fifteen days. As might be ex-
pected, the chronic took longest to cure;
but in all the cases helped, relief followed the
first few doses.

amount of frost. They are also most useful in

A striking Comparisou.

In his prayer to the Lord for immediate pxecu-
ton in the way of palsisd tengue and blasted
hands, wherein the Rev. Byron Sunderland. chap
lain to the L. S. Senate, called upon the Lord to
read certain journals, this animated bundle of
myrrh aud bottle of camphor had precedent not
generally known. II is this: During the Mex
lean war, which the Wings of that day opposed,
a Democratic divine, of the Hardsbell Baptist
persuasion, was once addressing the throne of
g-ace from a hickory shrted congregation of the
Lord in hooppole region Of Kentucky. After
going through a hearty anathema of the Wing
organization, he continued: "0h, Lord, thon
cannot believe one word uttered by these trail
tors TO their country; they liars and blasphe-
meTs, back-biters aud slanderers; and il is not
true, Oh, Lord, that we begun this war; our
enemies, the MexicaHs, begun it by crossing the
Rio Grande into our territory; all of which, Oh,
Lord, thou wilt find set forth in the late message
of our President, James X. Polk, to whom refer
thee. Amen."-WdshiRgtea Capitol.

One of the best methods of preparation of
seeds for early start is to soak them IN dilu-
ted liquid manure Hen dung is much recon-
mendeh for this purpose.-Sometimes soaked seeds
do not come forward, rot in the ground; but
frequently it is the case that the seeds are not
attended TO, but are allowed to heat, or some
times TO get dry, before they are sown. Another
point is to have, for small seeds, the soil IN
warm, friable condition; if the seeds are soaked
and the soil itself is pressed down close to the
seed, by rolling, or the hoe, when the sowing Is
done. it will make material difference IN the
time which they take to sprout; and, besides
this. the manure with which their outer coat is
saturated protects them from the attacks OF
worms and insects.-H Michigan Farmer.
