The Season for Transplanting Tree* la
Various Sections of the Coontry?Directions
for Moving Large Trees Without
Checking Their Growth.
The time of year for transplanting tree*
varies in different sections ana unaer uufering
circumstances. The season for doing
this work Is less Important than doing
it in the best manner, and if much
earth goes with the roots, any time when
the trees are dormant or not In a state of
rapid growth, will answer, providing, of
course, the soil is in condition and circumstances
generally are favorable. The most I
trees are probably transplanted in the
spring, though there are numerous advocates
for fall planting. I
FIG. 1?MOVING TREES.
Trees two or three Inches in diameter '
may be moved with comparative ease and (
little degree of loss, but when these have
gained a diameter of half a foot or more
the labor and difficulty are greatly increased.
,
Countrv Gentleman, in reply to a recent
query, "How to move swamp maples of
considerable size to a lawn, without
checking the growth," etc., replies by
giving the following illustrated directions:
There are two modes of moving large
trees. Fit. 1 shows the way in which it
ia done, by lifting the tree from the
? ? J -? ?? ??? Snn Jmw ? ?!?m iAn
ground ui mi tjrtut puoinvu, luonui^ ??# vu
wheels to its place of destination, and
dropping into the bole previously made
for it.
The tree is first loosened by digging,
then lifted with the lever, the tnlnk
being wound with carpet or sacking or
with straw, to prevent bruising by the
chain which raises it to the hinder wheels
of a common farm wagon, run up to the 1
tree from behind. Chains attached to the i
axle then enable the horse (or horses)
hitched to the whiffletree to draw it.
This mode applies well to the removal of
evergreens as well as to deciduous trees, .
the branches of which need not be disturbed
on account of the erect position. .
In either case, the tops should, however, 1
be made lighter by cutting in the branches '
so as to present an even, natural top.
FIG. 2?MOVING LARGE TREES.
. The other mode la represented by Fig.
2, and applies mainly to decidnons trees.
The tree is first entirely loosened by digging,
and the two wheels (with the
tongue) are run np against It. The top is
tied into a compact shape, and the tongue
of the cart paced erect against it, and
both tied securely. They are then brought
down horizontally, thus lifting the tree
Suite out of the ground, and it is then
rawn to its desired place and lowered in
the same way that it was lifted.
The transplanting of large trees is not
generally advised, for however careful
and well conducted the removal is effected,
there will be a great check given. Trees
six inches in diameter' ana twenty feet
high have thrown out their roots at least
twenty feet in every direction, thus occupying
a circle forty feet in diameter. A
very small part of this broad circle of
roots can oe secured. ine tops 01 uie =
trees must be lightened by pruning, retaining
a symmetrical form, to correspond
in part with the necessary mutilation of
the roots. Trees of the size mentioned
Ahonld have a removed circle of roots *
eight or nine feet in diameter, and the
sou above the roots may all.be taken off
down to the mass of the fibers to lessen
the load.
The Bis Apple Crop. '
Favorable reports come from most of
the leading states concerning the apple 1
crop, which has matured in fine condition
in nearly all sections of the country
where apples are grown in commercial i
quantities. 1
The Canada crop is reported as large,
although some sections have suffered from
drought. The apple crop in England and
Scotland is light this year, and the fruit
is of poor quality. On this continent only
half of an average crop is reported, ana
this is largely made up of early apples.
The crop of greenings, it is reported, is
not as larfi^e as last year. The crop of
Baldwins, however, is enormous. These
I are the best apples for general purposes
and for exporting. They are always in
demand Other varieties of red apples
are also plentiful, and as red apples bring
the best prices in England, a great many
of them are exported. Owing to the
later ripening, onlv about half the usual
quantity of fruit is now being shipped to'
England. The shipments usually commence
in the early part of August and
continue until April. The largest quantities
are sent over in midwinter, when
the shipments run from 40,000 to 70,000
barrels a week. The quantity exported
last year was 608,421 barrels, and the preceding
year it was 807,924 barrels. In
1881 there wafl an enormous crop in this
country, and a correspondingly small one
in Europe, and the exports were 1,828,806
barrels.
Mowing Strawberry Beds.
The practice of mowing down strawberry
patches is recommended by Ameri- '
can Cultivator only in cases where tho

object is to give the ^eeds a setback,
with the hope that a little care will give
the strawberries the advantage in the
race for life. It is of doubtful utility at
best to try so harsh a remedy. We tried ,
it once, but at the same time took the <
precaution to dig up some of the best
plants and set them in a place by them- j
selves where they could be kept free (
from weeds. These were not cut back, 1
and from these we got all our berries Um J
subsequent seasou. ,

Unless a man's walk corresponds
wit.h his talk, hta influence for good is
not likely to be great.
It will not pay to feed the product*
of the farm to ungrowthy and unprofitable
stock, and it will pay much less
to purchase feed for such stock. Generally
it will be best to get rid of such
stock at the first opportunity. '

When two people have "made uprt
after a quarrel, itiis safest to "let sleeping
dogs lie," and refer no more to the rj
bone of contention. Even a good na- ?
tured recurrence to the subject contains
within it germs of recrimination. f(
A Scotch couple lived together happily tj
fo* several years, but oneevening when a
they were seated at their fireside a tj
mouse chanced to run across the floor. S]
"There's a moosie,'.' said the wife.
"It cam' frae below the bed."
"Na," said her hnsband, "it cam'
oot below the kist fchest)." M
They began to aebate tbe point, a ti
keen argument ensued, and angry w
words were unsparingly used. The
controversy | was resumed in tbe
morning and.was continued from day ai
to day, with increasing violence, until h?
the wife left the house and returned to ei
her friends. tc
The couple lived apart for 12 years, w
and then after a friendly intercession gi
become reconciled. They resumed ?
housekeeping, and during 5 years the al

their roof. At length the wife ven- cc
tured to refer to the cause of their long it
estrangement. *1
"Wasn't it very absure, dear John," IP
said she "that we should have sepa- c*
rated abo'ot a sic a trifle as a moosie
comin' frae below the bed ?" &
"I tell ye it cam' from oot below the *3
kist, woman," said the husband sharply
"It did na that. John," retorted the
wife. "I mind see'n it, as if 'twer yes- le
terday, comin' frae under the bed." sc
The quarrel had begun again, and hi
raged furiously. In a slyort time the it
couple separated, and were never re- bi
united. w

Remedy for Earache. tl
yp
"I am afraid I have greatly inter- ^
fered with my own practice," said a
celebrated aurist, "by giving the fol- e2
lowing advice to many of my friends: f8
'At the first symptoms of earache let it
the patient lie on the bed with the fc
painful ear uppermost. Fold a thick p,
towel and tuck it around the neck;
then with a teaspoon fill the ear with
warm water. Contiuue doing this for
fifteen or twenty minutes; the water a
will fill the ear orifice and flow over on fc
the towel. Afterward turn over the c(
head, let the water run out, and plug ei
the ear with warm glycerine and cot- bi
ton. This may be done every hour un- T.
til relief is obtained. It is an almost ti
invariable cure, and has saved many
cases of acute inflammation. The water
should be as warm as possible, but not
too hot.'" oi

Preserving the frog, that rerjr Importit

a recent issue of Rural New Yorker. i

But it is the smith, the hone shoer,
ho ruins the frog; that is, very many

iat the writer has driven horses, he has
ways inade it a rale to be ..present dur-.
g the shoeing* and has never permitted
ore than the slightest trimming of the

insignificant parts, already nearly de^hed.
. The smith can jmutflatQ and soously
damage the hoof by the use of the

"It has usually been held that when,'.,/-.;. j?

iat the first born of the pair will be ferle,
but that the other will not, and so
