When is the best time to transplant young trees
from the woods? / want TO some young
hickories and walnuts; also, some oaks Can you
offer any suggestions about moving, pruning, Sc?
j. Reed, Southern Ohio
Ans The best time is just as the leaves
change color In the fall. Select small trees not
over eight or ten feet in height, lift them with
as much root as can be secured, and after re-
planting, saw the tree OFF close to the surface
of the ground. Managed in this way, failure is
reduced to a minimum, and the plants will
sooner establish themselves and make better
trees than if left with the stems entire. In the
case of trees which can easily be moved this
method is not so necessary or Important as with
the kinds mentioned.
have five-acre field near my house that
would like TO fence III with an Usage orange hedge
but am told that the roots of this plant run long
distance, and they would therefore injure the land.
What is the experience of Others in this respect:-
Il. X. r., Col, Mo.
Aas. The frequent trimmings which is re-
quired to keep good shaped, seryiceable hedge,
prevents the roots from extending to any great
distance; there is no trouble in growing crops
as close to the hedge as necessary or practicable.
VIII you be kind enough to name six or eight
good peaches that are not subject to leaf blister,
and oblige-Constant Reader, Reading, Pa.
Aas. We are unable to make a list of this
kind. All peaches, so far as we have observed
during the past forty years, are equally liable
to this disease when the atmospheric condi-
tions exist which causes it. These conditions
are sudden changes from heat TO cold at a time
when the leaves are just appearing in spring.
Oftentimes some viii escape because of their
earliness or lateness; but while late pushing
varieties may not be attacked this year, when
earlier kinds are badly blistered, it may hap
pen that next year the reverse will occur, and
the later varieties suffer severely while the
earlier kinds suffer less, although not quite
exempt. The disease is not constitutional.
Protection viii prevent it. We have seen one
side of tree which was protected entirely
escape, while the unprotected portion was badly
blistered. We have lately noticed the advice,
apparently given in all seriousness, that trees
with blistered leaves should be burned to pre-
vent the infection from spreading. This is
sheer folly, and could only proceed from those
who have not studied or acquainted themselves
with the origin Of the affection.

selves in the hands of our schoolmates. The
boy who declined to join us in the enterprise
had induced half a dozen others to help him
play joke on US. They were concealed near
the stump when we reached it, and by lying
close to the ground had been able to see our
preparations through our outlines against the
sky. Of course when we began to dig we were
too intent on work to notice that they re-
moved the pckaxe and meal-sack and as we
had expected supernatural noises we were
easily deceived. They placed the moose around
US unperceived, and it was arranged that the
first word uttered by either of US was to be the
signal to haul away" And they did haul
away with vengeance.

what Does Senator Beck Say to This :

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
since the virtuous bulldogs of the Treasury
are so terribly exercised over the enormous
expenditures Of the Pension Office how would
it do TO have some inquiry made into the
equities of the bonded debt payments And,
as it was and is well-kEown fact thai enor-
NOUS sums Of money were paid upon fTaudg-
lent contracts during che war; how would it do
10 have a full and complete list OF all the con-
tracts made during the war printed and posted
IL every neighbOrheOd In the United States. to
the end that such Of them as might be found to
have been fraudulent shall be declared void,
and a quantity Of bonds representing the
wrongful amount paid by the Government
cancelled. Also, how would it do to have an
inquiry made into the histories of the horses
aud mules bought aud used by the Govern
Ilent with view TO the cancellation of a guam
tity of bonds equal to the value of such horses
and mules as died or were disabled in the
service. Surely there IS no person living who
would have the Government pay for the use OF
mule which afterwards died or became dis
abled, and yet refuse to pay the contract pries
for its dead and disabled men. IF economy is
the motive and reputation to be the means,
IN the name of justice begin with the debt in
Cured for the services OF the mules, and if that
will not reach far enough. then begin to repu-
diate the paltry price fer human blood and h1-
man disability
Now, to come down to fine point, we all
know who these regulators of the pension
debt are. They are the identical men who
hated the soldier when he wore the blue. If
the pension debt is repudiated. the soldiers viii
have themselves TO blame. As q body of voters
they Outnumber any other class they are as
strong as they were In 1866, for their sons ara
now going to the polls in increasing crowds,
and this increase viii outnumber the losses by
deaths for several years to come. The new
crop viii be particularly strong in the presi-
Dental race OF lSSS, a5 which election tens OF
thousands of soldiers sons viii give their first
presidential votes. As q matter of fact, they
can to-day, and they can &c any election IN tha
next ten years, choose a majority OF the Con-
gress and control a majority of the State elee-
ti0ns.
And should it be contended that the exigen-
eies of the war justified the incuTring of the
enormous debt, and that the Government had
to have mules regardless Of cost or fraud, / VIII
say the costly mules would have been of but
little use had it not been for the greater exi-
gency for men. 1t was men the Governments
wanted-able-bodied men, such as were able
to support their families at home by manual
labor, by swinging the ak, by following the
plow. Thirteen dollars month did not pay
such men. But the agreement to pension them,
or their families, in case of disaster brought tha
transaction within the bounds of reason Tha
person who begrudges the pension, while en-
joying the benefits of the war, Is q mere brutes
and beastIy brute at that

THE MOUNTAIN ELEVATOR.

1t is, perhaps, not the most symmetrical and
picturesque sight in the world to see o long
limbed, long bodied man, weighing one hum
dred and seventy-five pounds. seated on little
mountain burro, weighing one hundred and
eleven pounds. The only equalizing force in
the case is that the burro makes up in fiber
what the man possesses in bulk. Still, the fact
remains that the man is the weightier body of
the two, and by good rights the man should be
carrying the burro instead of the burro carry
ing the man. Just where the strength of this
little taper-nosed, almond-eyed, calm, eontem-
plative animal really rests is question for the
scientists to consider. Samsons strength was
in his hair, since there is no historic reason fer
the common belief that in stature he exceeded
the men of his times. The strength of the
burro we should place in his hide since no
amount of whipping and cudgeling makes any
impression thereon, except TO strip his TANKS
entirely of hair. Nor is the sight of the barred
fianks encouraging, since it but reveals the
leathery texture beneath and confirms the con-
viction that here is o Jumbo" in miniature.
The burro is the ascetic of the animal kingdom;
he lives upon nothing, and in his own self
abasement is the secret of his usefulness.
If it is a strange sight to see burro colt car
rying a full-grown man, whose legs, as they
dangle in the stirrups, almost touch the ground,
what must it be to see the same champion light
weight carrying from three to five hundred
pounds or precious metal IfOIl GnS SOpnSr nOleS
in the mountains. The burro, to seek new
parallel, is the John Chinaman of the animal
world, and both have played very important
part in the development of the great West.
Without the Chinaman the Pacific Railroad
never would have been built; without the
burro the precious metals never would have
found market. The burro has been named
the great mountain elevator. He is more than
this; he is railroad builder, .prospeetor, miner,
the great inter-oceanic transport. Laden with
camp outfit or a surveyors traps, he climbs
serenely to heights where man grows dizzy
and seeks in vain to find footing. Some
times he makes misstep and goes down him
self, rolling and humping like a loosened rock.
But it is only to pick himself up again and
with a sonorous blast of triumph that tears
through the gulches like the hoarse shrek of
steam barge he shakes himself out, ready for
another climb. You cannot break his bones !;
he has no bones to break. His entire frame
work is of the best Bessemer steel, warranted
to bend but never to break.
As to subsistence, the buyro out -Chineses tho

WHEAT AS 4 GREEN MANURE.

We notice that some tobacco growers recon-
mend sowing winter wheat instead of rye, as a
crop to be plowed under in the preparation of
the tobacco land. In some cases the rye when
turned under did not help the crop, because it
was too far advanced, and the stems had be-
come hard and strong and in consequence
were slow to decay after being turned under,
while wheat remains longer in succulent state
and can be allowed to grow until comparatively
late when turned under, and it soon decays
and furnishes food for the tobacco plants.

marks as follows on some grapes which he has
huited this " r:

but was fit to eat several days before the Con-
cord was in eatable condition.
Duchess is really fine sweet grape; berry
and bunch somewhat like in shape TO those of

more evenly this year than it did last season.
The Lady is an carly sort; sweet, but some

does not grow SO vigorously as the Concord.

WHAT WILL TIE HARVEST BET

Certain enthusiastic republicans
| are figuring out a majority for their
party next year, in spite of the fact
that the drift of events at the pres
ent time is strongly in favor of the
democrats. They claim that luck
has always come to their aid when
other resources failed, and perhaps
iU has, but it is also well to reE1em-
Der that luck does not come period
ically, but now and then, usually at
the most unexpected times and IN
der very peculiar circumstances
and it is as likely to rest Oh one
banner as the other.
Among other republican papers
which are already claiming the
election, is the st. Louis Globe
Dem3cGat, a stalwart Of stalwaTts,
which makes an estimate of the
probable electoral vote, which gives
the blicans fifteen states and
pol electoral votes Gncluding Ohio,
New York and Pennsylvania), and
the democrats tWenty-three states
and 200 votes. 1t then concludes {;
This is giving the democrats all
the states the republicans do not
actually need, and mole of course
than they will carry: but transfer
New York and Ohio, or either of
them, from the republican column,
keeping in mind what bearing such
transfer will have on other states,
and it will be found impossible to
fill the gap fIom the other column
with any degree of probabability
whatever. The fight is right in the
big states. and the republicans must
be freed from all the outside en-
barrassments that little men would
crowd upon them
This extract is characteristic of
the republican party; they
keep themselves always bottom side
downward by never INDUCING in
over confidence; on the other hand,
the democrats continually and per
si5tentIy rely upon what they al
ready have to pull them through,
aud get cleft" as a consequence.
The republicans claim right along,
without stopping to take breath,
but they do not relax their efforts
by any means. and always keep the
locker well supplied with shot.
If the party which by treaty and
conquest added so much territory to
the United States does not resume
control Of the government in 1885,
it will be such a neglect of golden
opportunities by the leaders as will
be little less than criminal, Let US
hope for better things.

The Explosion at Ogden.

The following particulars Of the
powder explosion at Ogden are from
the Pilot of yesterday.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
news reached Ogden that an explosion
had occurred in the powder works,
located about three miles from this city,
in Ogden canyon. For some time no
definite information could be gained CON.
cerDing it, and, ind cd, it seem ed doubt
fIl for time i! the report was st all re-
liable. Latter however, il WAs sscer,sined
that the explosion had actus ly taken
place and much damage had bssn done.
From parties on the grounds at the tims
of the FIRE, and from hers visiting later
in the evening We gained the following
fGctss
The buildings of the powder company
are 30 arranged that Al accident ia re,
in no way Affects the others. TheTe are
eight buildings in ell. The Incorporating
building, located fsrthest mp the canyon
snd bsiag adj AGENT 10 the fume, was the
scene of the RccidenT. There was no in
timation of dsnger, and the usual secu-
rity was felt by the workmen employed
in the building. At about Sis p.m.,
and without the alightest warning, the
explosion took place, hurting one man
into eternity, injurIng another. and
throwing fragments Of stone and other
material in every direction. After the
explosion, the building was consumed by
FIRE and the victim OF the disaster was
burned in the ruins. Geo. w. Por-
ter is the name of the man killeI.
He came to the powder works shout 6f.
teen days ago and hss been employed
ever since as carpenter. Further than
this nothing is known Of hihI. j; SCENE
