lOkED WITH \ CALF-A correspondent of
q neighboring journal tells of q county clerk
in rural town who had pet calf which he
was training up in the ways of an OK. The
calf walked around very peaceably under one
end of the yoke while Mr.. Clerk held up the
other end, but in an unfortunate moment the
man conceived the idea Of putting his own
neck in the yoke, to let the calf see how it
would work with partner. This frightened
the calf and elevating his tail, he struck dead
run for the village, and Mr.. Clerk went along
with his head down and his plug hat in his
hand, straining every nerve to keep up, and
crying out at the top of his voice, Here
here! Confound it! Somebody head US off,

EFFECTS OF TAR on FRUIT TREES i wish
to state a curious effect of tar upon fruit
trees which came under my observation this
year, and hope it may prove a warning to
all your readers who may think Of painting
trees to prevent harcs or rabbits from bark.
ing them or for any other purpose. These
trees were painted from the ground upward
one or two feet; almost every tree--apple,
pear, peach, ounce and all-ceased to grow
where painted while that part of the body
above the painted portion continued to grow,
expand and thrive, as if nothing had hap
pencd-the bark, branches and leaves all
looking very thrifty. A few of the trees died
suddenly while in full leaf; the others are
now fine looking above, but the body where
the tar covered it, looks as though it had had
i Laced jacket of iron around it for one year,
and is a half inch or more less in diameter
think the whole orchard will finally die, for
some of the trees, from weakness of the stem
below and growing weight above are top
ping over. Does this not show that entire
bark of a tree as well us the leaf is an organ
nj respiration. l shall continue my obscr.
vations, and give you the result.-R. v. VII

FARM AND GARDEN.
Forest Tree Culture.

Farmers should bear in mind that the bes
Time for transpianting forest trees Is early
spring, and ii will be well to make selection
of varieties and other preparations forthwith
so rs to be in full readiness wnen the tros
leaves the ground. The American Swce
Chestnut (Castanea Amercana) we believe tc
be one of the most profitable that can be enc
sen for general purposes, as 1t IS very raplo
grower beautiful in appearance, best nut pro
duced IN America, and its timber adaptCu tc
almost any use No one of our forest trees
certainly, possesses 50 many advantages as
this and 30 one is more easily obtained
since our nurscrymen have begun to grow
them by millions As to the early maturity
nf the tree there is abundant testimony show.
ing that they become large enough to oe used
for posts, and TO produce fruit in six or eight
wears after transpantlng the sprouts. AS an
Ornamental tree for roadside planting, 1t is
FULLY equal 10 any other, not surpassed By the
Sweet or English Cherry in beauty, very
much resembling the first mentioned while
Young, both in form and foliage In early
summer the long tasse.like blossoms min.
glci with the dark green leaves, are as beau
tiful rs very many OF the flowers of the green
houses and gardens For forest culture the
chcsnul is very profitable, us it attains di-
mensions nearly equal to the oak, and fur.
IL
ing and furniture, being one of the most dur
able under exposure that our forests afford.
AS to the profits of nut growing, it may be
easily calculated: Surprising the trees stand
one rod apart each way or Whereabouts, max.
ing one hundred and sixty per acre, and sup
posing they produce on the average one peck
Of nuts each forty bushels at five dollars per
bushcl would give IL yield of two hundred
dollars per acre. This estimate may be con-
sldcred out of reason; if so, diminish it half,
or even twothirds, and there is Il rich profit
when it is considered that yearly the new for,
est is developing into a piece of healthy
woodland. One of our correspondents tells
us that he is growing a chestnut forest with
trees set five and half feet each way, nine
to the square rod, or fourteen hundred and
forty to the acre, and estimates that the trees
will make four rail cuts each at the end of
twenty years, and the tree produce ninety
bushels Of nuts per acre. If his figures will
stand the test, certainly ours at only one.
NINTH or one tree to the rod, is low esti.
mate.
OF the hickory nut another correspondent
says, somewhere about fifteen years ago he
planted one dozen hickory trees of small
size; soil hard and sandy or gravcly These
trees now produce plenufully of nuts, and
measure three feet in circumference near the
ground Chesnuts were planted at the same
time the hickory shrubs were set out and
produced nuts before the latter, and he looks
upon them as more profitable, but would ad-
wise the planting of both. We are glad that
nurserymcn are producing such endless sup
plies OF nut bearing tress for the benefit of
farmers and furnishing them at sush reason.
