Setting Out Treos. Mr. Grabs Thinks it Should Be Done in Early Fall. In the Progressive Farmer of last November I read what Prof. Maasey had to say about planting trees?that the fall of the) year is the best time. I have noticed, too, that head- J vises to plant without ttie use of j water. Mr. J. Van Lindlev. and others, advise the use of a deal of water in planting. 1 have learned by years experience that the advice of both parties is good?and that this various advice is not conflicting. The average farmer plants but few trees at a time, as should be the case, and if there is water convenient he can safely nsa it? can use much or little. I had rather use some water when planting; had rather wet the roots?if not more. However, if there is an abundance of water poured in it will do well, and will last a long time. But water is especially needed while planting in dry weather?but need do no harm if used when ground is in good order. course we ougnr uot to work the land at all when wet, but, if wet, water would then be needed to neutralize, as it seems. My original intention for thin article was to October, but it seems that trees would do well by being planted in the latter part of September. Of course this is only safe by pinching off all the leaves. By this very early planting the fall planted trees will then be ready to take an early start in the spring, and will do well even for the first summer. Now it is a fact that trees would do much better for a safe start by being planted in the fall, sooner or later?as the case may be. Many trees are lost by late ppring planting, and if the late planted trees live they can't grow very well, owing to the dry weather that we usually have during summer. Of course the late'spring planted trees usually live and do fairly we'l, by being widely planted and cultivated. Often a tree of some years is removed, and a desire to plant large trees prevails, and if we plant a large tree latw in the spring season we can only be,safe usually by cutting it back severely. It goes hard to cut a| tree back and spoil it; but tbisi severe cutting back need not be done if the tree is planted in the fall?provided it is made secure I so that it can't be shaken out of , place by the wind. Of course this suggestion to plant trees in the fall is mainlv for our latitude, or for the South* ern States. Hera in our latitude, October1, may be counted the best month j in the year to plant trees. The various farm work is so pressing in the fall season is the reason so few of us have learned J to plant our trees in the fall. In order to plant a tree well the mellow eerth must be parked' closely and solidly about the1 roots, and this rare should he; observed at all times. The best! advice from the high authorities' is to plant young trees?say, on-) ly a year old?but tins advice: need not come in the way of j planting trees several years old when it seems to be necessary to do so. If tho fresh planted trees are several years old, it is advisable to give them a little ' extra watering in dry weather during summer.?W. F. Crabs, in Southern Fruit Grower. Stokes Co., N. C.

It would bo a stupid as well as savage thing to boat a weary or starved man because ho lagged in his work. So in treating the lagging, torpid liver it is a groat mistake to lash it with strong drastic drugs.
