The Planting OF Trees.

At this season of the year, whether on
the farm or in the garden, there is some
chance that trees will have to be planted;
and it may serve a useful purpose if we
put together few lines, giving what is
regarded by practical men as the most
modern view of the best way of going
about the task so as TO insure the best
success.
OF course, when trouble comes from
transplaDted trees, il begins with the
roots. No matter how carefully a tree
may be dug, some of the roots will get in
jured and if to this is added loss to roots
by drying, the tree has nothing to depend
on. 1t is not, therefore, enough TO have a
tree carefully dug, but the greatest care
should be used TO have the roots kept
damp after they are dug. When these
conditions are cared for trees may be
sent thousand miles, and be just as
good, though a couple of weeks out of the
ground, as if fresh taken up. AS soon as
they are dug, when sending these long
distances they must be put into wet moss
or shavings-anything that will keep
moist, and yet not rot and make heat; in
this way are boxed trees kept fresh.
These trees often have much better
chance than trees which are obtained
near home-,s A man goes to the nursery
with his own team, because in this way
he saves the cost of packing boxes and
railroad charges, and the trees are dug
and plHeed on the wagon, with the roots
drying in the wind for perhaps half a
day before they get planted; and of course
the smallest roots get so much injured
that the tree has difficulty in growing in
consequence. When they are packed in
boxes the plants are taken at once from
the boxes to the ground, and this is why
they generally live so well.
But with the greatest care there will be
some injury to the roots, and the only way
to make up for this is by pruning the tops
to correspond. 1t is good rule always
10 cut away some of the branches when a
tree is transplanted, no matter how good
the roots appear to be. For though the
tree may have its roots apparently in good
condition, and the tree grow tolerably
well, 1t will grow much better if the
branches are cut back as they should be
In the editorial correspondence of the
Weekly Press last year we noted the fact
that at Pueblo, in Colorado, there had been
set out ten thousand trees along the new
roads laid out about that town. The
country is so dry that in many cases moth
ing can be raised without irrigation; and
yet hardly one in hundred of these trees
had failed to grow. The secret was the
severe pruning which they all received
Every side branch had been cut away
and the whole plantation of street trees
miles in length, looked like huge set
ting of bean poles. So we noticed II
many places in the West. About Indian
apOlis large quantities of the sugar berry
are set out for shade trees. These are gen

Rhubarb.

Rhubarb is among the earliest green
things, and, though no one classes IL
among the choicest of horticultural gifts
in the abstract, yet on account of its early
growth it will always be esteemed. Its
earliness being one of its valuable points,
a place should be selected for it where it
will get all the advantages IF early spring
suns. Some people help it by putting
barrels over the roots. This keeps out
the cold; and as the rhubarb is stimulated
to grow by very little heat the natural
warmth Of the ground brings it up if the
frost be kept out. Then the barrels help
to blanch it little, and it is not quite so
sour as when left to grow naturally in its
own way. Rhubarb is poor stuff when
stringy, and it is the aim of good grow
ers to have it as pulpy as possible. There
fore the soil is to be made very rich in
deed-as good as manure can make it.
When grown in this way even the outside
is tender, and it may be cut up for use
without even peeling, as is so often done.
Some varieties are, however, more tender
han others. There are four popular
kinds which when well grown are all of
about equal value. These are the Vic
tOria, Linn@us, Magnum Bonum and
Prince Albert. The Linneus is the
UeSJ huOWu, uOL DeCduSe IL is any UellcT
than others named, but simply because
some men who happened to have large
stock of it some years ago hit on the brill
liant idea of pushing it off as the wine
plant and thus demand was especially
created for this one, thereby cutting out
by this brilliant trick of the trade other
men who had large stocks of the other
varieties. Only the Linneus was thus
made the true Simon pure. Rhubarb is
very rapidly increased by cutting an old
"crown" to pieces. If these are split
downward on line with the growth OF
the root, every piece of the root will
grow, though it be split into score Of
pieces; but piece of root will not grow
unless there is portion of the "crown u
with it. The crown is the upper portion,
or leaf bud, just under ground. If very
large stocks be desired, the plants should
not be set too close. A root to every four
square feet is enough-that is to say, the
plants should grow two feet from one an.
other every way. AS the rhubarb is 8
gross feeder, if they will be put closer
than this they will be likely to starve one
another. -GerndntODn Telegraph.

for that is also shortened; and they also
do generally very well.
This pruning attended to there Is still
the regular planting work to be looked
after. The holes need not be large, just
as wide as the roots will do, nor need the
holes be very deep. Many trees are ru-
ined by deep planting. II may be that
some trees are lost by being set too shall
low; but this does not happen to one in a
thousand. A tree ought not to be set any
deeper than 1t will hold itself up well
when planted; and in some cases 1t Is
better to stake than to plant deep, If a
tree will not hold itself up well without

ing well packed about the roots in the OPP
Grafton. In general the earth is filled in and
trod here and there ;but this is not enough.
One should have a rammer, and as fast as
few shovelfuls of earth are placed in
over the roots 1t should be rammed
firmly about them. One need not fear
bruising the roots. They do not get
bruised when the earth is all around them I;
besides, though few are bruised by the
the tight ramming, they do not suffer half
as much as from having the soil loose
about them.
These hints are given as the result of
many years of successful tree planting,
and we are we'll assured that, If attended
to, there will very rarely be any COM

The eulogies upon Charles Sumner de-

we can Judge of them from the telegraphic

that of Mr.. Lamar, of Mississippi, not
merely for its intrinsic eloquence, but for
the antecedents of the speaker and his
State. Who would have believed, fifteen
years ago, that the State of Jefferson
Davis, Barksdale and Quitman you'd be
represented by Republicans in both SEN
ate and House, with but one exception (;
that her Senator elect would be colored
man; aud that the only Democrat in her

great anti-slavery orator. 1t would per.

for unity of feeling and heart in the North
and South, or to recall the fact that four
teen years ago he and politicians like
him were doing everything that they
could to destroy the Union which he now
extols, and to "fire the Southern heart'
against the North. Let us, therefore, ex.
press our rejoicing that defeat has had so
emollient an effect upon this former fire.

the situation. If the whole South should
sincerely and cordially adopt the spirit of

the magnanimity of the Government, and
of the people of the North to forget and

door and said: "If there is anybody in

New Houses.

THE coincidence of mans moving
into a new house and dying soon after
has frequently been subject of remark,
and there is an avoidable cause.-the house
moved into before the walls and plaster
and the wood are sufficiently dried
Sometimes the cause of death is the
poisonous character of the water con-
veyed through new lead pipes. No water
for drinking or cooking purposes should
be used in building supplied with new
lead pipes, in whole or in part, for at
least one month after the water has been
used daily; this gives time for protect
ing coating to form on the inner surface
of the pipes, when their chemical change
| from contact with water generally ceases.
But the damp materials of the house
have the most decided effect, especially
on persons over fifty years old or of frail
constitutions; whereas if the person were
in the full vigor of life and health not
even an inconvenience would be expert
enced.
In building new house, or on going
to live in another locality where the water
supply is not far from the house, it should
be ascertained with the utmost certainty
that the spring or well is higher than the
privies or barn-yards. Insidious and fatal
forms of decline and typhoid very often
result from persons drinking water which
is drained from the localities named.
The safest plan, and the only safe plan
for furnishing dwellings with the most
healthful and unobjectiOnable water, is to
have a water:tight cistern, and let the
water from the roof of the house or barn
or other outhouses, be conveyed into il
through box of sand several yards long
this box to rest on board or cemented
bottom and sides, so that no outside water
could get into it.-HdWs Journal %
