Setting out Trees.

This is a good month for setting
out fruit trees, and also forest trees.
We have 50 frequently designated
the kind Of fruit trees which we think
adapted to Tennessee, that it is
scarcely necessary to repeat them
here. We would say now, plant
out good trees-that is, trees raised
by q reliable nursery man, that are
not stunted by bad management, and
not too old. There is no advantage
in planting out large trees. AS a
general rule, those two years old are
the best, and sometimes those one
year old, succeed admirably, if well
attended to. Some Of our best pear
trees were set out when one year
old.

WHY Agricultural Colleges Fail.

In writing to the American FCtrm-
er l.. A. Hansen, of Mississippi, re-
marks:
The appropriations for agricultur-
al coileges all over the United States
with very few and rare exceptions,
have been misapprOpriated, and
most of them used TO bolster up
sickly Institutions of learning by
adding the agricultural department
to their Institutions, making this de.
partment entirely subordinate and
totally insufficient for the wants for
which the donation was made. This
is one Of the reasons why the agri-
cultural colleges Of the United
States, as a rule, are failures. An
other reason is, that the majority Of
those institutions do not consider
manual labor necessary aye many
think it adverse to liberty and jus
tice to compel the students to work
after they pay for their board and
tuition.
The misconstruction of liberty has
wrought many evils in our country
and here is one OF them. TO what
does all the theoretical teaching
amount. if not sustained by demon
strative practice to be acquired, if
not obtained by actually doing the
work? How is farmer to instruct
his hands and direct his work TO be
properly done if he is not able to
perform it himself and by actual
deed show them?
Mr.. Editor, let it be well and dis
tinctly understood that 20 agricnl-
tural college can be a success, as
such, without proper practical ins
struction in manual labor y
BY perseverance and industry
practice alone can succeed; theory
by itself, without practice, cannot!

From the Cumberland News.
Col. Spates Replies to Mr.. German

CUMBERLAND, Md, March S, 1878.
EDITOR Daiy NeUS:
Sir AS you published the "com-
ments" of Mr.. A. p. German upon
the memorial TO the General Assem-
bly, of Maryland from myself, dated
at Cumberland, Maryland, February
IS, 1878, please be kind enough to in
sert the following reply.
Mr.. German enters a general de-
NAL of taking any part or the use of
money to effect my defeat as the
Democratic candidate for the Senate
from Allegany county, but insists
that had he furnished money or taken
any part in opposition to my election
he would have been doing the people
of this county and State at large a
favor thereby. Did Mr.. German
hold this view of my political infiu-
ence ar d services in this county and
the State in 1873, when, in urging my
admission to the State convention as
a contesting delegate from this coun-
ty, he spoke Oh my behalf and men
toned me as Zone who had grown
gray in the service of his party and
the State 2" If he held my services
in such estimation then, what has
occurred to change his opinion? /
have held no Office since then-except
as mentioned below-and could not
possibly have done him or the State
an injury. Again, did he hold the
same view of my capacity for wrong
doing in 1875, when he placed the
patronage and control of the canal in
this county in my hands, with dis
cretionary power to appoint or re-
move upon notice to- him, and to
make such use of the power thus en-
trusted to me as my judgment die
tated? Was this his opinion of me
in 1915, when he solicited me to ac-
cept the nominal position of "ship-
ping agent" at this place, which
position, by promise and agreement
made with him. 7 did accept, and the
same still exists, the salary of whil'

p0stoffice and presents his half of the
warrant. 1t is compared with the
other half, and if it is correct the
amount is paid out to him.
This system, of which we nave
given only an outline, has been
adopted in nearly all its features by
the Governments Of Italy and Aus
tria. 1t has been introduced also in
the Dominion of Canada and in New
Zealand. In France, Germany, Bel
GUM and the Netherlands an ap-
proach to the system has been made
by the Governments authorizing the
postoffices to receive deposits for the
regular sayings banks, 50 as to give
large facilities to the people to place
their savings. 1t is more than prob
able that in aH~these countries the
British method will sooner or later
come into usein its principal features.
The projected system for this coun-
try differs widely from that of Great
Britain, mainly, however, in turn
ing all deposits into our own national
securities. 1t is equally excellent, so
far as allowing depositor to realize
upon his investment when he is away
from home and short of cash is con-
cerned. as the money orders given
out to depoSitOrs are expressly made
transferable, and accordingly may
be sold or hypOthecated by their
actual owners. If the depositor wants
to become a bondholder he can do 50
as soon as he has saved up ten dollars.
as the denominations of the $50
bonds to be issued in exchange for
postal orders run down as low as that
figure and do not ascend higher than
one hundred dollars. Or if he de
sires to become a bloated bondholder
he can keep on accumulating his
3.65s until he has 5000 worth of them
in face value and then exchange them
at par for $500 four per cent. bond,
thus gaining the increased interest.
We are inclined to think that the
idea of postal savings system will
take well with the American people.
1t is handy, convenient and safe. All
the debt created would be held at
home, and the interest paid would
circulate through domestic channels.
The people would have absolute Sc
curity, prompt payment, most con-
VCnient method of obtaining money
in an emergency or when travelling,
an inducement to thrift, a ready
means of access to Government Sc
cureties which are now often beyond
their reach, and a money interest in
the business Of the government and
sound financial legislalati0n. This
last consideration is, indeed, very
important. A popular loan in the
hands Of our own people would be
something With which demagOgues
would not presume to trifle as they
do with obligations held abroad, and
it might exercise a potent influence
with citizens in the selection Of prop.
er men to fill Congressional seats. -
