Transplanting Trees.

It will soon be spring again. and our ton to their orchards. The first re- quisite to good orchard is proper location, with the land we'll prepared. It should be cultivated and manured. and be in such condition as to bear, say fifty bushels of corn to the acre. The trees should be young and thrifty II the trees come from the nurseries in good condition they should be set at once, or kept from the sun in cool, moist place until set
 Let the holes be dug of sufficient size to extend the roots out full length. Set the trees as deep as they were in the nursery. and no deeper. Put a few inches of rich top soil or turf. the latter Is better, in the bottom of the hole. Have tub of water handy. Take the tree in one hand with the top down, and sharp knife in the other, aud cut off all the broken roots with n slapting cut. From the smooth ~Nh c'sc iittiO iOObitbS VIII StdTl NGTN soon, and the tree will make good growth the first year.
 Next turn the tree top up, and with slarting cut take off at least one- half the length of all the limbs and top. Do not be afraid to use the knife freely. 1 seldom leave more than three buds on a limb. Some object to this practice, but experience and ob- servation have convinced me that this is correct
 The roots of most trees extend much farther than their branches, and when taken from the nursery the larger phrt of the roots are left in the ground, and hence there is but little left to sustain the tree. Even if the tree lives with the whole top left on, then the ends of the limbs will be likely to die. At all events, such tree will be stunted and ruined. The tree thus prepared. trimmed as above, should have it's roots dipped into the tub of water. By so doing the dirt will cling to the roots, and enable them to start more readily.
 The above directions will apply to nearly all fruit trees The pear or quince should be set so as to cover the connection thrae or four inches below the surfnce. hy so doing quince roots will be placed out of the way of the borers. for these pests seem to be more fond of the quince than of the pear

Value of Sklm-Milk.

During the period when butter and other dairy products have been un. naturally cheap. only those farmers have made money from cows whe know how to get the greatest value from skim-mill Its value as food is not made most of by feeding it ex- clusively tv any animal. Good as h is, it Is made still better by adding little oil meal or haxseed. This re- stores the fat which has been taken ofi equal for fattening to new milk. When thus mixed it goes further if given in connection with other food.

When a young pig gets to humping we do not expect to meet with success in doctoriug, be- rapse the trouble is caused by too much milk, and before we can reach It through the d-m it succumbs. But with pigs after weaning and larger animals that suffer from thumps We hays met with good success in giving medicine, finding spirits Of turpentine the best remedy.
