The advantages of fall planting may be rammed ap as follows: L Narserraen have faller and bet' ter stocks of trees in the aatamn . when the rales begin. Tbe best arc jo'J ltd, and later orders are filled with the material which remains oa kasi SitBwtiaa it is impossible to bare an order for certain varieties filled in the spring, all of thit stock being sold. There is frequently observed s marked superiority in stock received in tbe fslL i If trees are properly pasted in the curly utann almost every one is sore to live sad thrive the next reason, white of those planted in the spring a considerable per cent, will die the first year. The explanation is that daring the warm days of am tuna jhe trwsttfiwif nfabla^si in jbo-.r sew locations. Having no leaves they do not need moisture as they do in the spring. The earth becomes compacted about the roots, which form ralfumcs over the cut and torn ends, and even begin to emit small xrotiets before the winter sets in, ao that on the earliest warm days of spring the vouag orchard is ready to start off to make a full growth.. 3. Another reason for fall planting ?that the nurserymen then have more time to dig and pack the trees, and there is less liability of errors, which are very provoking when discovered after the lapse of eight or tea years when the tree begins to fruit The planter, too, has more time to properly do the work of planting, so that all orchards planted in the autumn hare a better chance of succeeding. StrictiT first-class tress and visas should alwavs be purchased. Other qualities civ lire, bat they will generally coa* to bearing so far behind first-class stock that a ore will be lost than :s gained. To illustrate this: Some years ago the writer purchased a thousand third-ela* currant bashes. They nearly all grew, but failed to fruit the second and third years with inT degree of pro?t, so that the loss was considerable, i o with pear and apple trees of the second-class more will die and tike remainder will be longer in coming into bearing. Nurserymen often advocate the planting of very young trees. This will do if the trees are to hare garden culture, bat where trees are to be planted in an orchard and trill receive only ordinary care the larger tree, three or fonr yean old, will stand much the better chance of bring and early fruiting. Always order straight, thrifty, elesn and bealthr stock from the nursery, and insist that it be guaranteed free from all insect and fungus diseases. 4 six 'rrvs are nlaated x>all the earth np arooni each oae to rapport it against the winter i-his.

'There was bat half of the brandy left aai things sere beginning to look serious, when I tried, as a last chance, the extreme remedy of emptying the remainder of the dark onto the back of the bear and throwing a lighted match to the brandy.
