The Oaks.
BY THOMAS MEEIIAN.

have made the oak family special
study, and from the experience aud knowl-
edge thus acquired, do not hesitate to say
that the lover Of trees would have more sat-
isfaction in growing oaks than he would
with any other class Some have hesitated
to grow these trees because Of an idea that
they are difficult to transplant This is true
of tree that has never been moved. To
take an oak from the wild wood to the gar
den is surely labor thrown away. Oaks
have each large tap-root and few main
roots that run rather deep. If these are cut
off when the tree is but year or two old,
the tree makes a new set, and these latter
keep tolerably near the surface. In the
course Of a few years, however, they assume
downward tendency and ought to be again
transplanted
A good nursery oak tree should be trans
planted twice--once when one or two years
old and again when five or six. Such trees
never die when transplanted under ordinary
circumstances. have seen hundreds moved,
after sure previous treatment, that were at
least 10 feet high and to IL inches in cir
conference, with no more loss than if they
had been willows or populars and but q or 8
feet in hight. Two years ago | saw over a
thousand planted with loss of less than five
per cent. -
In transplantiug all trees little pruning
is necessary, aud to the oak especially is the
use of the pruning-knifo very grateful. But
a proper discrimination should be made al
to what you cut away. Usually people sim

them cut SO that they were but stumPs, with

For the VERMONT FARMER,
Promising Strawberries.

Wonders have been revealed in the straw
berry kingdom during the past year, that we
hardly dared hope were there, Careful
and systematic experiments have again been
rewarded, aud this year will be voted in the
annals Of lovers of this delicious fruit as be-
slowing upon them strawberries that they
may well be proud Of. An interesting fea-
ture in these new varieties is the fact, that
besides supplying us with larger berries than
have ever been grown before, they at the
same time kindly ripen at such times as to
render the strawberry season two or three
weeks longer than is usually the case.
One of tho most promising kinds is the
Duchess. Possessed of a royal name, it can
hardly help proving attractive aud favor
lite aud when to this are added its other
and more substantial merits, then even those
most Indifferent to the charms Of frat cult
ure may be inclined to count enance it and
give it their approval. Of bright and at
trOctive color, and of excellent quality-it
will quickly make many aud lasting friends,
The duchess" is thought to be the earliest
strawberry in cultivatiOn--a merit that
many will appreciate who in spring keep

Lean Fruit Trees to the Southwest.

Mr.. L. NJ. Macomber of North Ferrisburg,
an experienced fruit grower, states that
fruit trees should lean to the southwest, so
that the rays of the SUI in hot summer af-
ternoons shall strike the bark OF the trunks
obliquely. If the trees stand perpendicular,
and especially if they lean to the north, the
scaldiug heat of the sun, striking the trunk
at right angle blasts the bark on the
southwest side aud eventually kills the tree.
He said he could demonstrate the truth of
what he said, and he did SO, in the fue ap-
pie and pear orchard Of his father, Mr.
Benz. Macomber, at Grand Isle. Nearly
every tree that leaned to the north showed
dead bark or dead wood on the south or
southwest side. This is worth remem.

All on Thanksgiving day when, from East and from
West
From North and from South come the pill grlms and
guests
When the gray-hairod New Englander ronud his
board
Tho old broken links OF affection restored,
When tho care-wearied man seeks his mother onco

And tho worn mRtron smiles where tho girl smiled
before
What moistens tho lip, and what brghtons the oye'
What calls back the past like the rich pumpkin pie
oh, fruit loved of boyhood-tho old days recalling
When wood-grapes purpling, and brown nuts
wore falling.
Whom wild, ugly faces we carved in its skin,
GlariRg out through the dark with candle within!
Whom we laughed round tho heap, with hearts all
in tune,
Our chair broad pumpkin. our lantern the moon,
Telling tales of the fairy who Travelled like steam
In pumpkin she'll coach, with two rats tor her team
Then thanks for thy present-none sweotor or better
Fer smoked from an oven, or cirelod platter
Farer hands never wrought at pastry moro fine,
Brighter eyos neyor watched o'or its baking than thine
And the prayer which my mouth too full to express
Swels my heart that thy shadow may never he less
That the day Of thy lot may be heightened below,
And the fame Of thy worth like pumpkn-yine grow,
And thy life be as sweet, and its last sunset sky
Goldon.tinted and fair as thy own pumpkin pie!

Wilmington Fair.

The officers of the Wilmington agriCultu-
raj society are hardly to be congratulated in
their selection of the 26th day of Sept.
1876 for the annual fair, for more persist
ent rainy afternoon has not been had during
the fall. In the morning the prospect was
not uniavorable for fair weather; but soon
dark, watery clouds appeared in the western
sky : little patches of fog gathered upon the
side and summit of the venerable "IIaystack"

Oping the mountain aud shutting it out from

Breeding Mutton Sheep.

The National Live Stock Journal says:
Now is the time for the farmer who ex-
poets to breed lambs for the markets, or who
keeps mutton flock, to be looking about
for his breeding ram. In breeding for NUT
ton, we must have early lambs; say from
February to April. We consider lamb
dropped in March worth two dropped in
May or june for almost any purpose; aud,
for the spring-lamb market, they should be
born a month earlier.
The first question to be considered, is the
breed. 1t is doubtless true, as has been ar
gued of late, that the excellent Merino sheep
of American breed eau be-indoed, have
been, in some hocks--greatly improved in
earlier maturity point Of great impor-
tance where sheep are reared for mutton
And it is also true that thoy have been inn
proved in grazing and feeding qualities
that, in fact, the form Of the carcass, in the
best varieties of this wonderful and most an-
cient race of sheep, has been brought much
nearer the type we require for the produc-
tion of flesh, than was thought possible forty
or fifty years ago; but as growers and feed
ers, they are still far behind the best long
woos, aud in quality OF flesh, their adyo'
Gates do not claim that they approach the
excellence of the Downs.
The selection of the breeding ram, there
fore, where mutton is produced, must be
from the long wools, or the Downs. If we
make choice from the former, we must be
careful that We have an animal OF stout and
robust constitution. These sheep have been
so generally forced with artificial food, that
many of them lack the hardness required
for the farmers purposes. What we mus
have, is a straight, round barrel, on shor
legs, with short, stout neck and vigorous
masculine appearance about the head. The
body should be well covered with lonl
aud lustrous staple Of uniform quality, |
the selection be of the Southdown breed, w
should have the same general form as her,

BETTER THAN MAKING C1DER.-Nearly
every farmer in Grand Isle county used to
have a cider mill aud make his refuse apples
into cider At present they sell them at
% to 40 cents per busbel to be shipped in
bulk down the St. Lawrence River, (some of
them going as far as Quebec, where they are
sold, without regard to quaity,to the French
men at copper apiece. or course these
Cauucks will eat with great gusto and relish
apples that would make pig squeal, but
it would not be supposed that they would
pay penny each for them.

The Rural New Yorker states that the
refuse Of cheese factories when turned into
streams, poisons to a greater or less degree,
the water. In times of drouth and low wa
ter, cows may be poisoned by drinking at
such streams, resulting in dyseutery or other
diseases. One farmer lost In eight years "a
cows and 8 calves, all of dysentery from
drinking at stream containing the refuse
matter of starch factory. Impure water
poisons the milk as well as affecting the
health of the COWS.
