Many think it cheaper and better to
take up large trees from the woods and
transplant them to their grounds or to
the roadside than to buy nursery trees.
As a rule. such trees die; they fail be-
cause proper precautions have not been
taken. In digging up the tree, all the
roots outside of circle a few feet in
diameter are cut of, and the tree is
reset with its full head of branches.
Whoever has seen trees in the forest
that were upturned by a tornado must
have been struck by the manner in
which the roots run very near to the
surface, and to a great distance. When
the roots of these trees are cut off at
two or three feet from the trunk, few
Or no fibrous or feeding roots are left;
and If the mass of tops is left, the
expansion of the buds in the spring
will not be responded to by a supply of
sap from the roots, and death must
follow. If such trees have the tops
completely removed, leaving only a
bare pole, they win usually grow when
transplanted. The tree is little more
than an immense cutting; but there are
roots enough left to meet the demand
of the few shoots that start from the
top, and growth above and below ground
are well balanced. We have seen
NAPLES, elms, and Eastwood trees,
fifteen feet or more high, transplanted
in this manner, without a failure. Some
trees treated in this manner were planted
in our neighborhood about ten years
ago. They have now as fine heads as
one would wish, and show no signs of
former rough treatment. Trees in
pastures, or on the edge of the woods,
are better furnished with roots. These
should be prepared for transplanting
by digging down to the roots, and cut
ting off all that extend beyond the
desired distance. This will cause the
formation of fibrous roots near the
tree. 1t will be safer to take two years
for the operation, cutting half of the
roots each year. Such trees may be
removed in safety, especially if good
share of the topis removed in trans
planting. Shrubs of various kinds re-
qllire the same treatment Many of
our native shrubs are of great beauty,
and desirable as ornaments to the
grounds. As ordinarily transplanted,
they are rarely satisfactory. If the
whole top of these shrubs, every branch,
be removed. leaving only stick with
is quite certain We have removed the
laurel (Rainia iafifolia) safely in this
manner; the shrubs show no signs of
theirrough treatment. Agri-

Mr.. Sichel, Auditor Of the New
York, Texas & Mexican Railway, while
riding out with his wife and infant,
drove into the ford of the Guadalupe,
in Texas. He got into deep water,
when the horse, phaeton and occupants
were suddenly overturned in the stream.
MIR. Sichel held on, and, the horse
struggling to land. he was saved. His
wife and child fioated down the stream,
and would have been lost but for George
Ware, a colored man, who plunged in,
first rescuing the lady and then the child.
For this heroic act he said he was
munificently rewarded with one dollar.

disease is evidently weed, and exactly

The symptoms of the mysterious disease
are continual thirst. great irritability of
