When fall planting of fruit trees is in {contemplation, it is wise to remember the oft-repeated suggestion that the small j .trees are to be preferred to the larger ones: The popular desire, however, is fnr Ko 1 n* ? ' 111 me imgcr lives (aim an vines, pi ints land roots may be equally referreil to in this regard), Init practice lias proved 1 ?cyond question that such trees are neither ( economical nor desirable in any other way. A year or two-year-old fruit tree is lighter and more easily packed and the freight charges are smaller, so is the , cost of the trees at the nursery. The roots are smaller, and the check and j damage to the trees by the forcible transplanting and the greater loss of roots of the older trees are avoided. One-year- ' old trees maybe purchased at $r? per 1(10, and the cost of the 100 would be no ( more than that of ton older trees, while j the lesser freight charges would be in , proportion. The 100 trees, if plauted as carefully as the larger trees should be j and in the manner so often described in | these columns, would all grow and none ( l?e lost, and the profitable bearing would , be in advance even of that of older trees. y ?jVew York Times. ^ 1 KAI.I, PLOWING. ? f ' Except the lightest sandy soils, all I level land will be benefitted by fall j I plowing. Whc.i plowed, and to a I t proper depth, the plowed land will not j v wash even by the heavy Southern winter j y rains That the land will leach and lose 1 a its fertility is a mistake. Nothing will ' a be lost in any case except the nitrogen, a which exists in the form of nitric acid or i <? 1 IP the most, soluble nitric suits, and, as a rule, there is no danger of ibis because of , is the almost, entire absence of this form of j vi nitrogen in the land. On the contrary, ' tl it is for the purpose of developing this I b scarce plant-food in the soil that fall > n plowing is desirable. The turning over ' p of the soil aids in the change of the abundant inert nitrogen, which is mostly combined with the carbonaceous organic matter in the soil, into soluble nitrates, and this process goes 011 slowly during ,s the fall and early spring, and where the 'l ground is not frozen ,cven \lnrin^ jhip winter. Consequently the lantf in brought j'"' rinto a more fertile condition by the full j plowing, and besides this gain, there ** I another of much more importance, viz.: j the spring work is forwarded so much-, 1 * and the crops may nw. put in so inuclv " earlier.?American Agriculturist. o AI.sikk ANb tj A few years ago, when tba?olover worm took to eating the ^-^'if'j n plant, farmers in.many p!at<? u^id'Al-.-. ? sike clover a good sobstituto?

The decaying roots of Alsike ' f feed the grass, and as Alsike is cut early 1 ( there is always a strong aftermath, some- j . times large enough to mow, later in the! i season.

Another objection we have to the use of unfermented manure is, that it stimulates, and as a consequence of this over supply or forcing a sort of plethora or O' tenderness in the tree is induced from a ^ rapid or forced growth. We prefer to see a moderate and regular growth in trees.

In the title this is called "A Psalm of David;" and in II Bam. xxiit., 1, 2, he Is called the sweet psalmist of Israel, and it Is writtejt that "the Spirit of the Lord spake by him, and His word was in his tongue;" therefore we ought to come to these words Jf the Spirit through David, firmly believihg (Rom. xv., 4), and relying on the same Spirit to give us the comfort and instruction here fop us. The word "maschil," also in the title, and used here for the first time, rignifies "to act wisely," and surely De.vid icted wisely when he confessed ond.received forgiveness. 1,2. "Transgression forgiven. * *.* sin covered, * * * iniquity not imputed." Transgression signifies the going beyond bounds or doing that which we should not do; sin ik coming short of the mark, or leaving undone that which we ought to have done; iniquity signifies any tiling distorted or perverse, and Keems to refer to the natural heart, which is all wrqpg since the fall and manifests its per verseness in siu and transgression; so that here we have the whole matter of wrong and wrong doiug disposed of and forever settled in God's appointed way. See if we can understand that way. ' Tho Holy Spirit, referring to these very words tells us in Horn, iv., 5-b, that this doing uway with tin, and conseaueut imputation of righteousness, is apart from any works 011 our part, hut is entirely of grove, through the redemntiou that is in Christ Jesus, and is freely granted to every believer. The words "In whose spirit there is no guile," indicate that to enjoy these blessings there must be on our fwu t tho absence of all deceit (for that is the word) and a sincere confession of, and turning away ftom, the sin or transgression. Coming thus, with true penitence and humility, and trusting ouly in the merits and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, who was made sin for us, and who baro onr sins in His own body on the cross (II Cor. v., 21; I PeC ii., 24), we may be as sure a? we aro that God lives that He, for Christ's sake, has blotted out all that was against us, and will remember it no more (lsa. xliii., 25; Kph. iv., 83); that being justified by faitli we4iaveix>aoa with GoH through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Golden text.) J, 4. "When I Wept silence." Now, that is sometimes a good tiling to do, and David more than once practiced it wisely (P.*. xxxviii., 13; xxxix., I. 2), but when, as in this case, there was siu lobe confessed,it was no time to keep silent, and he here tells ns of his sufferings on account of his sinful silence as a warning to us. "He that covereth liis sinsshall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." f>. "I acknowledged, * * * Thou forgavest." Some one has said thai sin lyjcon leased, like a gathering wound, swells and torments, hut tne lance gives relief; sincere confession is tho liuc? which brings tho peace of forgiveness. 0. "For this shall every one that is godly pray unto Theo." Every siunor rejoicing in the forgiveness of sins is au encouragement to ot hers to come and obtain the like bless ing; every Christian who has had tho joy of salvation (which they had for a time lost by transgression) restored to him is an encouragement to other biacksliders to return. 7. "Thou art my hiding place." Notice I lie word "thou," three limes in tltis verse; it is God Himself Vho is our hiding place, 11.,..;.1 i.-j 1.?... Hiding from God, like Adam and Eve in the jnrden of Eden (Hpii. Hi.. 8, 10), but now, hi* ia a sure and safe hiding all'others ivill Inswept away (Isa., "xiviii., 17). 8. "I will instruct thee aud teach thee in the way which thou shalt gfL" Evidently the Lord is now speakiug in reply to David, for no one can instruct and teach like Him, and no one is capable hot Him. He has not promised that we shall have no trouble, that WH whall nAvar naes th?v\?icvh or ".'"tfl'' Oil the contrary l$e has told us that "In the world we shall have tribulation,''and that "all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution" (John xvi., .'iS; II Tim. iii., 12); but Ho has promised to be with us in the trouble, and thus lead us, while He preserves us from being in any way injured by it. The word hero translated "instruct"' signifies to make successful or prosperous, as in Josh, i., 7, 8; I Kings ii., 8, where it is so translated: but the more common Old Testament word for instruction signifies chastisement; it therefore lieconies us. if we sincerely desire to b? led by Hiui, to believe that fte does lead us. and in what seems ofttimes to be the most adverse circumstances, we should hear Him say: "I am the Lord thy God who teacheth thee to profit, who leadetli tliee by the way that thou Bhouldest go" (Isa. xlviii.. 17). "I will guide thee with Mino eye." Notice the marginal reading, which seems equal to saving: "1 will tell you how to go ana then watch you to see that you keep iu the right way," or as it ia plainly seated in Isa. xxx., 21: "Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying: This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right band and when yt turn to the left." With such great and precious promises how quiet we sbould be. 9. "Be ye not as the horse or as the niule." It in manifest in every-day life that the big' gest mule is not always the one In the trace?, and that a horse ofteu knows more than hi' driver. Balaam's ass saw more than it/ master, ami opened its mouth to some pur pose; but the rule prevails tlmt horses an< mules have not the wisdom of men and inusl t?e restrained and guided by bit and bridle Now, when men and women, and partieularlj Christians, need to be restrains! by the bit and bridle of circumstances, which are ftod'i providences, instead of meekly and trust ingly following their 8hepherd, It is anything but creditable to them, and does 110 honor t< that beautiful name by which they are called 10. "Many Borrows shall be to the wieked but he that trusted in the Lord, mercy shal compass him abont." Borrows touch tin righteous as well as the wicked, but the sor rows of the righteous are blessings in dis guise, for the loving himd. of the lyird is ii every oueof them, and no matter what the^ look like they are all goodness and mercy, w that the believer may truly say in all hi sorrows: "Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing.'
