Newly Set Trees.

Fruit trees which were set out las,
autumn, have the advantage over spring.
SCI trees, OF a well-settled soil about the
roots, fitting them for an early start. But
they have the disadvantage Of a hard ernst
from several months settling. This diai-
Guilty can be obviaied easily by breaking
the crust and loosenng the top soil with
spade or pronged hoe. The neglect of this
loosenng is one reason tor the common
opinion that spring transplanting is best
Another difficulty with fall-set trees,
when The roots have been cut short in re-
moval, and large top allowed to remain.

them; the roots dry. and the trees often
perish. The remedy i, Ia ram in fine earth

earth. and stake the tree.
third difficulty with both autumn and
spring-set trees. is that they have some
times become partially wilied. and need
moisture applied 10 the stems TO recover
their plump condition. Encase them loose
ly and lightly in straw or coarse moss, and
apply water daily. In the course OF a
week or two they will gradually imbibe
the moisture and assume new yigor. This
treatment Is especially useful TO Young
pear trees, which sometimes remain dor
mant for several weeks after other trees
watering the roots before the leaves ex-
pand does more harm than good, and
sometimes watersoaks and rots them
The question is otten asked us. How late
IN the spring can fruit trees be safely set
out: Answer-if they have been dug
of a building, or otherwis prevented from
starting. they may be planted even as late
As June. Or, if delayed in trans portaiion
and the ouds are partly expanded, and the
roots are kept constantly moist until set

As general rule. however it is safest to
do the work in good season.

more water. If granted that a hen will

equivalent of two bushels of corn. which

enough TO place the eXcrement-the result
of the digestion of these two bushels-as
equivalent TO fifteen pounds Of guano. As
the manure from one hundred fowls during

guano. taking the above supposition a. at
least safe. aud as 800 pounds is ordinarily

sure, and cannot be sure, indeed, that we could
even secure order, for of all possible results
of Intervention, we should hold this one to be
the most probable,-that every other party
being either defeated, or discredited by foreign
alliance, or p~&ralysed by want of physical
strength, Spain would fall back upon the com
mon enemy of all, the Commune, towards
which her over-developed localism, as we saw
at Carthagena, always gives her an inclination.
The result is too uncertain, the feeling of the
people too doubtful, the moral principle at
stake too obscure, to Justify q line of action
which did not succeed in 1888, which is not de-
manded by any imperative circumstances, aud
which would furnish a fatal precedent to any
Power who desired to crush an Instruction
like that of Hungary, or a struggle like that
OF Oavour for the freedom of Italy, or an inter-
nal conflict of opinion like that which produced
the Sonderbund War. 1t is not because inter-
vention is wrong, or because England has
nothing to do with the Continent, or because it
Is our business to get rich, but because the re-
suit of Interference is not clear, that Great
Britain is better out Of Spain.
Ut course, if all that is asked Of this country
is a recognition of the existing Government,
there is no objection to be made, and very
little to be said of any kind. Nobody knows
clearly why we do not recognise the Republic,
or whatever it is, in Madrid. Serrano may
have no legal authority, but NAPOLEON, when
Lord Palmerston recognised him, had no legal
authority either, and the acquiescence of a
people in any Government has, in all ages and
countries, been taken to be the political equiv
alent Of consent.

TROUBLES IN
Correspondence to the -Timeg.l

Throughout East Suffolk the farmers will for
the most part begin harvest this week. The
crops on the heavy lands are very good, and
the old saying is, that Englishmen are fed
from the heavy lands. On the whole, the
wheat yield in the Eastern Counties promises
to be above the average, but g%riev0us com
plants are made by O~ccupiers of light land.
The crops on such land will be below the
average, and on hot, gravelly subsoils they are
very poor indeed. In some places late frO8ts
have led to blight. Rain would have saved
the corn three weeks ago, but continued dry
weather has prevented it from coming into ear
properly. The barley in some cases is dried
up by the combined influence Of wind and sun,
and the hot dry winds were more injurious to
the corn on light soils than even the sun. It
often happens, [ believe, that on light land,
farms which are the best cultivated and the
most highly MANFRED suffer most from drought.
The farmers say that in a dry season the more
some lands are MANFRED the more they burn.
"Suoh facts as these" a farmer remarked,
care quite overlooked by Mr.. Arch when he
talks to the toWnspeople about half cultivated
land. He says he has been a farm labourer, but
from his speeches [ should have thought he
had been a tailor, so profound seems bis igno-
rance upon agricultural matters. In a light
land district like ours, the armer's life is one
continual struggle against difficulties and dis
appointments. None but men of capital can
stand against the vicissitudes Of light land and
stock farming. But Bradford, Leeds, and
Manchester know nothing Of these chances and
losses, AMI therefore Mr.. Arch's nonsense goes
down" | have talked with many light-land
farmers, and the story of their losses and cross
es this season would fill many columns of your
paper. Their corn, as you have heard, is thin
and poor. Their root crops are a failure
through prolonged drought. They have no
feed for their sheep and stock, and have to sell
it off at such prices as it will fetch. Lambs
are now selling at 25s,, which last year were
worth ass. and scores upon scores of lambs
which have got to be weakly through want of
keep, but might easily be made strong and
fat by hand feeding, have been hawked by
lrovers through the streets of the market owns,
and sold singly or otherwise as ''pets" or for
slaughter, at prices ranging from IS. Cd. up
wards. l doubt whether the butchers prices
reflect this deprecated value of lamb and NUT
ton. But the stock farmers in the Eastern
Counties have full reason to know how prices
have fallen, and their yearly balance sheets, if
they keep any, will tell a tale of losses on crops
and stock varying according to their acreage,
though | think from t42 to 63 an acre would
be a low average on many such farms.

THE PRESIDENTS VIEW On THE VARIOUS
QUESTIONS or PUBLIC IMPoRYAKcE-
suG0EsTIoHs ASD REcoAEEEDATIoNs.
We give q fair summary of the sail
ent points Of the Presidents message.
There are very few persons who care to
read through document covering seven
or eight printed columns-probably not
one iu twenty of those who read news
papers; still everybody wants some idea
of the state of affairs as presented ia the
message, and we therefore present the
pith of the document.
BUINEss PRO6TaATION.
The message opens with a reference
to the business prostratios, which few
people need to be .old, exists through
out the country. During this prostra-
ton, two essential elements Of pros
perity have been most sbundant-labor
and capital. Both have been largely
unemployed. Where security has been
undoubted, capital has been attainable
at very moderate rates. Where labor
has been wanted it hiss been found in
abundance At cheap rates compared
With what the necssssries and eomforts
of life could be purchased with the
wages demanded. Two great elements
OF prosperity, therefore, have not bean
denied US. A third might be added.
Our coil aud climate are unequallsd,
within the limits OF any contiguous ter
ritory under one nationality, for variety
OF products to feed aud clotbe a people.
