in heavy bearing trees, ike the Ducness
of Oldenburgh, there is danger OF sec
ton splitting away when loaded with
fruit, to the great damage of the tree.
The branches at four feet or higher. have
more horizontal growth or right angle
joiuture instead of acute angle, and are
much stronger, and give q longer.lived
tree. In this case it is better that the
branches be several inches apart, rather
than in nearly a circle around one spot in
the tree. If the first branch is on the
south side, let the next be on the north
side, six inches higher, the next east or
west, ten inches higher, so that the base
of the branches may never crowd each
other. The injury of crowding branches
is perhaps greatest in the transplanted
naples. It is the custom to trim them
high and then cut off the top. This
causes a collection of branches to grow
near the top. While the tree is small
it thrives very well, but when that
age comes to the tree that gives it
value, these branches of four, six
or eight inches in diameter are crowded
closely around rotten center--rot-
ten, because the top end of the tree
(several inohes) died at the transplanting,
and can often be seen for ten or fifteen years
sticking out dry and dead. When heavy
winds come, these principal branches are
broken out at their base and some die by
being crowded out, and when the tree, by
its age and diameter, should be glorious
old maple, and source of profit in sugar
making, as we'll as a pleasure for its
shade, it is then becoming an unsightly
old wreck. AS an example of such trees,
look at those in front of the dwellings in
Irasburgh village. Although they are
from foot to foot and half in diane.
ter, they are breaking down, and any one
can see that it is this clustering of branches
that is mischievous. If these branches
that come out around the top of the trans
planted tree had been mostly cut away,
and only one or two allowed to grow, then
nature would have put branch here and
there along the main trunk and symet.
rical, long-lived tree would have been the
result. With the maple it will be best to
take small tree for transplanting and
leave the top untouched. Do not cut il
off. Naples never get too high, as fruit
trees sometimes do. The elm is very
hardy tree, but cutting the top makes an
excess of branches, and soon one or two
get the lead and are 80 much larger and
stronger that they become the trunk
around which proper branches grow, as il
develops into goodly tree. 1t is the
appearance of transplanted trees, thirty OIL
forty years old, that show the most plainly
the errors in branching. u. E. JAMESON

Compost for Corn.

Mr.. Editor IL am much interested in
your articles on Fertilizers" AS l be-
long to the class of small farmers, and as
you seem willing to impart information,
take the liberty to write you. Last
spring drew to my privy vault half
dozen loads of loan, which have received
the slops from the house during the sum-
mer and winter. 1 propose to mix
with these, in the spring, the excrements
of about twenty-five hens. Will you
please inform me what to add to the COM
post to make good fertilizer for corn,
also to color it 80 that it can be readily
distinguished from the soil when dropping
the seed. The land is hardwood rocky
land. Any information you are pleased
to give will be gratefully received.

A popularity Of hoods Sarsaparllla, which
is obvious to all, is one hundred doses one
dollar, - an unanswerable argument as TO
strength and economy. If you are sick, try
this excellent medicine; it has given health
and happiness to many, and you may reason
ably expect it will to you. The cures effected
by Hoods Sarsaparilla speak volumes in its
praise, and are constantly adding to its in
huence. No better evidence of its worth is
needed, than its enormous sale. An article
without merit cannot attain the popular de-
mand of this medicine.

THE RECORD OF THE FAIRs.-The SUI
periority of Wells, Richardson & Co.'s
Improved Butter Color over all others
made, is again demonstrated by its record
at the autumnal fairs. The test of prac-
teal use is what tells the story, and the
great value of the premiums given by the
agricultural fairs, lies in the fact that the
judges in these cases are regular farmers,
who know what their needs are and what
will supply them. Wells, Richardson &

AT recent meeting of the Board of
Agriculture Mr.. Goodwin is reported to
have said that shutter should not be
worked Immediately after sailing, because
the sharp crystals of salt cut the gran

Goodwin ascertained this, or did he only
"guess so" In these days of exact in
vestigation, it is not enough for our teach
ers to tell us thing is so. They are also
required to tell us how they found it out.

REPLY BY AGRICULTURAL EDIToR.-
This is q good compost for corn. 1t can
be colored by mixing one or two bags of
plaster with it, so that it can be seen on
the soil, and the plaster would add to its
value. Make the hen manure as fine as
possible, and mix very thoroughly before
using.

Still More About Fertilizers.

Mr.. Editor -" have just read your
article in THE VERMONT WATCHMAN of
January 80, entitled 'Other Ways to
Make It. You say that fertilizers made
upon the above formula will be found as
effective in every respect, used cost for
cost, on all farm crops, as good stable ma
nure, and quite as lasting According to
your formula, by using ten bushels of
ashes the other ingredients would make
the cost some thirty-three dollars. Now
what wish to ask is, How many cords of
good stable manure is the above amount
equal to? There is much difference in
the cost of manure in different places,
where it can be bought at all. In some
places it is bought for three dollars cord,
and then we should have some eleven
cords and in other places we should have
to pay six dollars, which would give us
but one-half that amount. So you will see
what 1 want to know is, whether 1 had
better buy manure at three dollars per
cord or ashes etc., as you direct. And
further, is there any difference in the soil
on which you would use the manure,
whether it is heavy grass soil or light
sandy2 BY answering the above queries,
you will much oblige an old subscriber,
II. G. ELLIS, Roxbury, Vt.
REPLY BY AGRICULTURAL EDIToR.-
We perhaps should have said that our
calculations in the article referred to, and
in others on the same subject, were
based upon the cost of stable manure to
us, which is usually about $1.5O per two
horse load, delivered, or say $3.50 per
cord, though sometimes it costs us less,
and sometimes more. We think there is
no doubt that even when manure can be
got on to the ground at $1.00 load, the
composts referred to can be relied upon to
give the effect of an equal value of ma
nure. Nevertheless, if we could get good
manure, all we wanted, at $500 per cord
we should not buy great deal of bone
dust, or even ashes. But to get enough
stable manure by purchase is clearly out
of the question for the majority of farm.
ers. We must have some substitute, and
the main question is, what is the cheapest
outside supply of plant food ? This is
the question we have been trying to solve
for ourself and for others. AS regards
soils, both the mechanical and chemical
effects of unrotted stable manure are sc
beneficial to heavy soils that we should
use it there in preference to any chemical
fertilizer, if we could obtain enough, and
certainly we should use all we could get

How Much to An Acre2

AN. A. c." Waitsfeld, VT, says: 81
would like to inquire % how much ma
nure is profitable to put on an acre for
hoed crops. Would eighty one-horse loads
be too much ? (2) Does manure lose
much by spreading on run-out meadow
in the spring and not blowing until the
next year ?"
REPLIES BY AGRICULTURAL EDIToR.-
% Eighty one-horse loads of good ma
nure to the acre is good dressing for
potatoes or corn. Forty loads and two
barrels of good phosphate in the hill, or
narrowed in broadcast, would produce
equally good results the first year.
Half as much is considered sufficient by
the majority of farmers. As to the profit,
that would depend somewhat upon what
crop was grown in the succeeding years.
If corn is planted the first year, succeeded
the next by potatoes without any more
fertilizer or manure, except say ten
bushels of ashes, the potatoes got off early
and the land seeded down with timothy
and winter rye, folio wed by clover-seed in
the spring, good profit ought to be made.
To the second question we answer, No.
