MOVING AND RESErTING FRUIT
TREES.

MOVING AND RESETTING FRUIT
TREES.
We noticed on the morning of the
9Th of March several wagon loads of
pear, apple and peach trees going from
nurseries somewhere with their roots
quite naked and drying IN March
wind and little sunshine, with young
green leaves on some to -evaporate still
more of the vital sap. This looks like
careless handling if the trees have to
transported any distance. 1t is highly
probable that one might easily find the
cotton aphis ON the roots of every APP
pie and pear tree in this lot, as they
had the appearance of this affection or
disease as seen at a distance. If the
roots of these trees were dipped in
solution of caustic lime or wood
ashes for q short time it would
make soap of the hides and flesh
of these insect pests which destroy our
apple and pear trees by thousands in
the South. The cabbage and carrot
plant lice are perhaps best known of
this numerous family of insects, which
are best assailed by soap suds, diluted
chamber I've, or something like I've
obtained from a decoction Of fresh
COW droppings. According to
Bonnet's observations the fifth genera
ton of our cotton or woody aphis"
viii produce six billions of individuals,
from one parent. The fruit-grower
and gardener can hardly know too much
as to the best ways and means of des-
troying insects. In that branch of use
full knowledge most of us are mere
school-children, with our lessons still to
learn.
In setting out fruit trees be careful to
dig the holes wide enough, and not to
set the tree too deep in the ground; but !
fill up all over the roots and beyond |
with rich surface soil or woods mold, !
which is generally better. One can
afford to make the soil Just right for
an apple, pear, peach or plum tree, or
grape vine. Apple and pear trees
planted by the writer over fifty years
ago are still bearing good fruit. Leaf |
mold and some soil hauled in an OK
cart from the woods did the needful to
every tree which was set on the surface
of the ground, with rock and hard-pan
below. Some orchards on clay land
suffer from the want of undertaking.
We see orchards badly managed and
worse neglected, which makes horti-
culture all the better for those who are
careful to learn what to do, and do it.

BRITISH WHEAT PRODUCTION.

The Mark Lane Express, in a notice
of the English crops, remarks:
GAS regards the chief crop we can
only repeat that which we said at this
time last year, viz: whether from the
experience of some seasons past a fresh
average should not be struck for the
growth of wheat in this country.
Taking years like 1869 with 295 returns
under, 1871 with 32S under, 1872 with
354 under, and 1873 with 344 under, it
certainly looks as if we were unable to
maintain our previous standard of pro-
duction. Moreover, we fot only grow
less wheat, but In the graphic descrip-
ton of one correspondent, have COM
mOnl y very plain crops; and bad yield
and a bad quality have of late often
gone together. As MIR. Mechi tells us
in the Tiptree balances, the hail
storms and bad weather of 1872, and
the blight of 1873, affected iniu-
riously the main crop Of the farm
while much of the ingathering in 1871
was so bad IN condition as to be for
time unsaleable. However, after so
good a seed time there may be a turn
in the tide, as there is every promise at
present; although it Will take time to
forget a run of Indifferent seasons. and
Great Britain may have still to look
more or less anxiously to her neigh
bors, her friends in America OF her rel
atives in Australia"
We see no reason why wheat culture
may not become large and prosperous
industry in Tennessee, Our informa-
zion from all parts of the State is IA
vorable for the growing crop at this
time. 1t is probably not so sure a crop
as corn; still it has important advan-
tages which we shall endeavor to make
plain in another article.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS FOR
MARCH,

March is a very busy month with the
energetic farmer, and he should be
careful to avoid mistakes in his calcu-
latiOns and general plan of cropping
1t often happens that more profit can
be realized from a field of oats, well put
in, if made into hay, than if grown as
grain. For hay, the seed should be
sown about twice as thick as when
grain is the main object of the cultiva-
tor. Oats cut when the seed is in bios
som, as timothy, herds grass, and oat-
grass are cut, or ought to be, to yield
the best hay, makes foragefor all stock
equal to any perennial meadow grass.
If you wait for the nutriment in the
leaves of corn to organize ripe seeds on
the ears of the plant before you pull
fodder, it is nearly worthless. No
farmer can have hoe-cake both in straw
and IN grain at the same time.
Southern farmers run too much to
grass seed, oat, corn, barley and mil
let seed, and too little to frst-class
hay and pastures. One may easily
raise from threeto five thousand pounds
Of oat hay cut in bloom-not in the
milk, nor IN the dough state-with less
injury to the land than results from
the full maturity Of a much smaller
crop of the same plant. The expe-
rience Of ages has proved this in
structive fact. The ripening Of seeds
Of all kinds, which is natures great
vital Office to extend life with food to
nourish it, from one generation to an
other, draws most exhaustingly on the
natural resources of the soil Hence
wise husbandmen, who study to hus-
band the earth's fertility, instead of
wasting it, permit as few seeds to
ripen on their plantations as possible.
When an annual plant goes to seed it
soon dies, and is like a farmer whose
work is done, and body laid in the
grave. 1t is obvious that neither dead
agricultural plants, nor dead persons
grow and increasein number and value.
The shortness Of life in the crops that
1--we but one season, like corn, cotton,
and tobacco, and demand at the same
time much tillage, is n serious defect.
This defect can be remedied in many
ways. We viii name one. A planter
of Fairfield county, S. c., bought thir-
ty-eight sheep in January, 1866, which
he turned into a poor pasture. Soon
after he bought a Blackwell ram; and
still later a merino, and then a South
Down ram. These were his entire pur-
chases. Now he has three hundred and
fifty sheep which will sell for a thous-
and dollars. He has sold 500 worth of
wool, and mutton sheep to the amount
of 1915, and used mutton as
the principal meat for his family.
A thirty acre field so poor as to pro-
duce only 200 pounds of seed cotton to
the acre before the sheep went upon it
doubtless partly for grazing, and partly
as an enclosure at night, after walking
and feeding elsewhere during the day,

TRIALS OF POTATOES

1 see that there is some inquiry
what kind of potatoes toplant, etc. 4
neighbor of mine planted four kinds,
one row each, the same way-the Early
Rose, the Nonsuch, and Brownell's
Beauty-all of which did well, and
ripened early, also the Peachblow,
which gave a small yield. 1 planted
the Nonesuch from the Rose ball, and
the Multiplier from the ball of the
Excelsior-sixty rods on green sward,
manure turned under, sandy loan, and
dug 100 bushels-good potato dealers
say better than the Peachblow to cat

but little doing. The banks loan to their

Gold is very dull, opening in New York
to-day at 112 and closing at 1115. Here as

not pay over 1109, while they hold at II2.
Silver is taken at 103 for halves and
quarters.

taste, enables us to see the manner of man

he writes to his son, ''the truth and beauty

tice of saying your own private prayers
night and morning. have never aban-
dOned it myself, and know the comfort of
it" He disliked display, monuments and
funeral ceremonies, and would not
speak over Leigh Hunts grave for
that reason. His political opinions were
hay, and we lind no definite expression
OF them except in one place, where
he laments "a nOa-wOrking aristOcracy and
4 silent parliament" and breads the ''enOr-
nous black cloud Of poverty in every turn,
which Is spreading and deepening every
hour He declined many temptations to
enterthe House Of Commons, saving no con-
side-atiOn would induce him to become a
member Of "that extraordinary assembly,"

honor being offered to him. lie was fond
of children aud dogs and birds, and loved

ing especially "a surprising fondness for
wandering about poor neighborhoOds on
Christmas day." His two especial heroes
were Sir John Franklin and CARLYLE. He
was fond of acting and storytelling, especi-
ally ghost stories. We infer from what
Mr.. Forster says that he was inclined to be
supers,itioUs, or rather to impressions of
the supernatural, for he spoke of an ever
recurring dream Ofthe woman he had loved
and who died-'the recollection of her is
an essential part of my being, and is as in
separable from my existence as the beating
of my heart"

ADDITIONAL MARKETS.
COTTON,


The market this morning opened with
better feeling and a good demand.
New York was quiet, with buyers and
sellers apart and prices tending down
ward and futures steady. Liverpool was
frmer but quotations remain unchanged,
with sales of $4,000 bales. New Orleans
was active and frmer, with middlings at
l43c. The market here at noon, under
the influence of the Liverpool advices,
presented a good feeling, with fair de-
mand for bright cottons. Offerings were
fair. One or two small lists of ordinary
changed hands on spinners' account at
ll@l2c, low middling at l4s@l44c and
middling at l5c.
