A lot of rubbish from unused or
spoiled fruit and vegetables will accum-
ulate in farm cellars during the winter
season. This should be cleaned out
and the walls of the cellar whitened

making of first class butter. Besides,

There are always a few worthless
sheep in almost every flock, animals
that do not pay and cannot be made

off such sheep. if they cannot be gotten
rid of in any other way, than to keep
them longer at dead loss.

uoVe1Dt. MS SOmo very SeuelUAo OUbe1"
vations to oAef in an article in
Harper's for March on tho subject Of
tree-plauting. He says: As rule, l
have not much sympathy with the
effort to set out large trees in the hope
of obtaining shade more quickly. The
trees have to be trimmed up and cut
back so greatly that their symmetry is
often destroyed. They are also apt to
be checked in their growth 80 seriously
by such removal that slender sapling
planted at the same time, overtakes
and passes them. prefer young
tree, straightforward, healthy, and
typical of its species or variety. 1t
should ever be remembered that
prompt rapid growth of the trans
planted tree depends on two things
plenty of small tibrous roots, and
fertile soil to receive them.
In every rural neighborhood there are
smart men; smart Is the proper
adjective, for they are neither saga
cious nor trustworthy, and there is
ever dismal hiatus between their
promises and performance. Such men
lie in wait for newcomers. to take
advantage of their inexperience and
and necessary absence. They will
assure their confiding employers that
they are beyond learning anything new
in the planting of trees-which is true.
in sinister sense. They will leave roots
exposed to sun and wind; in brief,
pay no more attention to them than a
baby farmer would bestow on an in
fant's appetite, and then when con-
venient, thrust them into a hole
scarcely large enough for post.
The hole destined to receive a shade
or fruit tree should be at least three feet
in diameter and two feet deep. 1t then
should be partially filled with good sur
face soil, upon which the tree should
stand, so that its roots could extend
naturally according to their original
growth. Good fine loan should be
sifted through and over them; and they
should not be permitted to come in con-
tact with decayiug matter or coarse,
unfermented manure. The tree should
be set as deeply in the soil as it stood
| when first taken up. AS the earth is
thrown gently through and over the
roots it should be packed lightly
against them with the foot, and water,
should the season be dry and warm,
poured in from time to time to settle
the tine soil about them. The surface
should be leveled at last with slight
dip toward the tree, 50 that spring
and summer rains may be retained di
rectly about the roots. Then a mulch
of coarse manurei is helpful, for it keeps
the surface moist and its richness will
reach the roots gradually in a diluted
form. A mulch of straw, leaves or
coarse hay is better than none at all
After being planted, three stout stakes
should be inserted firmly in the earth
at the three points of triangle, the
the tree being its centre. Then by {
rope of straw or some soft material thu
tree should be braced firmly between
the protecting stakes, and thus it i!
kept from being whipped around by
the wind. Should periods of drought
ensue during the growing season, il
would be we'll to rake the mulch on,
side, and saturate the ground arount
the young tree with an abundance o
water, and the mulch afterward spread
as before. Such watering is often es-
sential, as it should be thorough.
