Transplanting Eyergreens.

There has always been much said as
to the proper time for transplanting ev-
Hrgreen trees. The first tree we ever
planted on our own account of the ever
green family was n cedartree. We
wanted about dozen with which to
make hedge, and were told to select
the month of August, as that was the
year to remove them with certainty. We
did so, and were three years before we
could get enough to grow. 1t is trIe
good-sized trees were selected, but they
were not two hours out of the ground
before they were in again, and during
even that short period the roots were
protected against the sun.
We never tried August again; and
subsequently in planting the Hemlock
and Norway spruces, the double white
spruce, the common mountain spruce,
the white pine, the Excelsior pine, the
Criptomeria, the Austrian and Scotch
pines. the Irish juniper, the Irish yew,
the American, Chinese and Siberian
arbor vitas, we do not at this time re-
member that even one was lost by the
transplantation. We set from the mid
die of March to the end of May, and on
one occasion the Norway spruce was
planted when it had shot fully two
inches.
August and the autumn months may
be very good transplanting times for
some people. We merely mention our
own experience, which may or may not
be considered satisfactory; but August
and the autumn can not be better than
the spring when, if properly attended
to, all the trees grow.-GermantoWn

Care Of Horses Legs and Feet.

1t is a well-known fact that horses
will work and remain sound for many
years with legs apparently much out of
order. Enlargements take place from
blows, where the parts become lined
with thick coat of lymph; and some
timeS1the body of the bone itself is
found thickened from q deposition of
bony lamina over the original bone.
When all this has been in progress, we
question the propriety of any active
measures, unless, as is generally the
case, a feeling of soreness is exhibited
after work by a shifting or favoring of
the limb in the stall, or by -" feeling
manner of going on first being taken
out of the Stable. When the legs are
really callous little impression can be
made upon them, unless by active
measures; but rest and proper attention
are the best preservatives of these most
essential members of the horse frame,
with the friendly auxiliaries of hot
water. flannel bandage5 and freedom in
a box-stall after severe work, and good
shooting at all times. Provided no in
ternal disease attacks the feet, they will
not only be as sound and healthy, but
in better form from having been prop
erly shod than if they had not been shod
at all. Some hoofs, however, having a
greater disposition to secrete horn
than others. and thus called strong feet.

weeks without being subjected to the

the shoes properly replaced. Neither
should stopping with damp tow be
omitted; as moisture, not aoet. is bene-
fetal 70 the health of the foot. DO
what we may, however, horses that are
for work on hard roads, or to
=" 60 the pace" will always be more or
less subject to diseased feet, quite I'M
with shooting. The action of
the hinder legs of horses, reminds us of
one useful hint to those who have to
use their horses on long journeys. If
we follow a well-formed horse, with the
free use of his limbs. on a road upon
which his footsteps are imprinted, we
shall find the hinder foot oversteps the
fore foot in the walk, but falls behind it
in the slow trot. Exclusive of relief to

it is safer to vary the pace from walk |
TO slow trot on a journey, as causing
less fatigue to the hook joint, by which |
curbs and spavins are freqently thrown
out. Add to this, The slow trot is the |
safest pace a horse goes, because his |
step is shortest. Prairie Farmer.

False Economy.

There is a vast amount of false
economy in business, and it has found
its way to the homes of many of our
farmers. True economy, not parsi-
mony, is the basis of success, and this
is as true in the farmers occupation as
in any other. The farmer who objects
to giving his son a liberal education on
the ground that he is going to be
:" nothing but farmer,' is putting
into practice a most unwise and inju-
dicious principle of economy. Such an
one will not buy books, or take papers,
which rightly perused, would give him
great assistance in his work, simply
because he thinks he 'scannot afford
them"
His poor farming tools are '.good
enough for him. though on every
hand he witnesses the rapidity and
thoroughness of the work done by i'm
proved machinery in the hands of truly
economical farmers-economical be-
cause they choose methods by which
they can do their work most quickly
and, at the same time, most efficiently.
The economic" farmer wishes to
make money, SO he sells off entire
those crops which, returned in part to
his soil in the shape of manure, would
make his land much more productive.
forgetting that the soil needs Il certain
amount of food in order to produce.
He disposes of his best calves and cots.
because ''being nicer they will bring
better price, and he retains the poor
offcasts for breeders sure step
toward ignominous failure in stock
keeping. The time is come when our
best farmers are cutting loose from
these misleading principles, and are
taking broader views of things, and
when this false economy should be
superseded by the true, -Rural .NeW

"A large number of people gathered
ut the Mission, San Jose, Cal, this

-"Ope quart of whisky or its eoui,

-"Ope quart of whisky or its equiva-
lent l find low average for the daily
consumption of the inebriate," writes
DIR. Lewis D, Mason, physician of the
Inebriates' Home, at Fort Hamilton, in
recent statistical report of 252 cases of
habitual drunkenness studied by him.
This is a startling example of the truth
of the old adage that the appetite
grows on what it feeds upon, and also
of an adage not SO trite, that mans
stomach, like his back, can be made to
bear almost any amount OF ill usage if
the i'll usage is only continued long
enough. Fancy normal, healthy man,
drinking a quart of whisky day! And
yet that is what DIR. Mason says is low
average of habitual drunkards-nott the
maximum, but a low average, and that
it is low is made apparent in an accom-
panying table, wherein he states that of
1873 habitual whisky drinkers only Is
contented themselves with pint q day,
while 81 needed quart, &c needed two
quarts, IL needed three quarts, and one
went to the extreme limit of consuming
four quarts or gallon a day. No man,
however, contented himself with less
than quart day, the II who were
satisfied with pint being al women.
Out of the 252 cases, it was found that
So had inebriate fathers, 6 inebriate
mothers and inebriate grandparents.
1t is also noteworthy that 55, or nearly
of the cases studied, had re-
ceived liberal education, in IA hav-
ing gore through college.

Glover and Rye for Hogs.

In my experience, says a writer, 1have
found nothing so profitable for hog pas
ture as clover and rye, and think rye
preferable and the reason they are bet
ter than timothy, blue grass and all SIM
liar grasses is, they remain more tender
for IL longer period than other grasses,
which so soon become wiry and hard,
partaking of the nature of hay, and l
have never known hogs to thrive on it,
although other stock does. To use rye
profitably for pasture fall rye should be
sown for spring pasture and spring rye
for later pasture, and by not pasturing
too long and too close there will be con-
siderable head out, which when ripe
will, with the weeds that naturally grow
among grain, make good pasture until
time to commence feeding corn at least
such is my experience. As to using any
of the grasses named for hog pasture, 1
would prefer a good weed pasture, and I
will here say that 1 am of opinion il
some of the weeds so eagerly eaten by
hogs were domesticated and properly
cultivated they would prove more salts
factory for hog pasture than anything
used of grass kind.

The Queen Of the Cattle Range.

1t is fact well known in the West
that Mrs. l.. S. Tiff, of Denver, is the
owner of the largest cattle range in the
State Of Colorado, with a herd in point
of numbers second to none. The terri
tory of this range extends from Greeley
to Julesburg, embracing belt of coun-
try about one hundred miles wide, with
a herd constantly numbering about 49,
900 head of cattle. Upon the death Of
her husband, three years ago, Mrs. Tiff
entrusted the management of her entire
cattle business exclusively to the hands
of Messrs. d. FL. and ]. w. Saunders.
Under their control the range has yield
ed within these three years nearly a
round million of dollars, a result that is
exceedingly gratifying to Mrs. Tiff, and
which she attributes to the personal
integrity of the gentlemen as well as to
their sagacious management of the bust
ness. The Messrs. Saunders have re-
Gently purchased one-han interest in
all the business and property of Mrs.
lifts herd and will continue the mani
agement of her part in the future as in
the past. The cattle on this range sus-
tanned but little loss during the winter
and are now reported in good condition.
