CONDITION OF THE South -wEsT-The en-
tire territory west of the Mississippi will very
soon be brought under complete subjection.
Gen. Davidson is moving down through the
center of Arkansas, having frequent skir-
lnishes with the rebels and whipping them in
every instance. Beside this, there is another
and very important expedition about starting
which is expected to finish the rebellion
throughout the Southwest.


Throughout Arkansas and Louisiana the
slaves are being run off to Texas, until very
few are left. Some of them escape and fly to
the river, while many others are shot, burned,
whipped, or tied and carried off. Rule or
destroy is the motto of shareholders every
where.

Such, Soldiers of the Republic, is the love

their bidding like slaves. .-.A


Every so-called Democratic paper in Iowa
has denounced the soldiers voting law un-

annulit. They yet profess to be your friends,
and in vindication of that friendship select a
tried soldier for Governor, hoping there by to

against you. ~

rights, the Union party of Iowa gave you, al

disturbed by the highest tribunal of the State.
In October next you will have an opportunity
to express your choice without restraint, and
it only remains for you to say whether the
Democratic party, as at present organized, is
honest in its profession of friendship for you
and whether, with the obstacles they have
thrown in the way of a vigorous prosecution

In travelling along the highways in the
country, we find the habit Of filling up
the sides of the road with all kinds Of
rubbish is still practiced by many of our
farmers. When an orchard is trimmed,
the brush are all thrown over the fence in
the public highway, to annoy travellers,
especially those who walk. How often
we find irregular small stone heaps, and
loose stones scattered here and there, to
remind the passers.by that this article,
too, has been added to the brush and old
stumps to keep company, that they may
not be lonesome. And to complete the
scene, we find sundry old wagons, plows,
wood, and an indefinite number Of old
things scattered in -promiscuous confu-
sion in the highway, to impede the trav-
eler, and convince the most incredulous
that neatness has not become o habit
among many Of our rural friends.


Kind reader, l do not mention these
things to find fault, but gently remind
those who have INDUCED in this habit,
that the road never was intended for such
things, but for the benefit Of the travel.

To PREPARE TREES FOR PLANTING.-
With sharp knife cut off, Sloping from
the under side, any bruised or broken
with the loss of roots, cutting off surplus
branches and reducing those forming the
head to three or four buds on each Of last
years shoots. This will cause . more
healthy and vigorous growth Of newly
planted trees.


In setting, let one person hold the tree
in its position, while another fills 10 the
mellow earth, pressing it firmly among
the roots with the hand, taking care to
leave no cavities underneath, and when
the roots are all covered, pressing the
whole down firmly with the foot
Avoid deep planting. When all is fin-
ished the trees should be no deeper than
when in the nursery. =
Grapevines should be cut back to two
or three eyes, and only one Of these be
permitted to grow the first year.


Raspberries and black should be
cut back within one foot Of the ground


Gooseberries and currants should be
cut back to one or two eyes of last sea
sons growth.


The time for planting, in the autumn,
is after the first hard frost and the ground
is closed, or any other time in the spring
before the opening of the buds Trees
procured in the fall may be safely kept
for -pfahJfng in spring BY ourying them
half their length in mellow earth (n a
sloPng pOsition) where no water is liable
to stand; a slight covering of brush or
forest-leaves over the top will be of ser
vice in case the winter should prove sc.
we're. Small bushes, like raspberries,
grapes, &C., may be buried entirely in
the earth.


Trees planted in the fall should have
earth hilled up around the stems, six
inches or more in height, to hold them
firmly in position during the winter, and
protect the roots somewhat from frost and
excessive wet This is also q protection
against injury BY mice. In spring the
earth should be leveled, and two or three
inches Of coarse manure or litter spread
on the surface over the roots for a space
of four or five feet in diameter; this will
keep the surface moist, prevent baking.
and check the growth of weeds.


If planting is done rather late in the
spring, and in dry weather, it is well to
give water freely, after setting the trees
and covering the roots with earth. letting
it settle before finishing up; then if the
surface is mulched, as recommended, no
further water is necessary.
