/ARM, TARDEA &
PLANTING TREES.
The genial season hat come —the season of
bursting buds, emerald grasses and singing
birds. It is the season, also, of unusual ac
tivity and labor on the farm, in the garden
and the nursery. There is no lack of employ
ment for those who "earn their bread by the
sweat of the brow." We have ploughing,
sowing, manuring, planting and pruning to
attend to; also ths transplanting of fruit and
ornamental trees. The burner or gardoer
who overlooks this latter duty, neglects one
of the most important duties of his profession.
I'he diversity of soil and climate in this coun
try, gives us remarkable facilities for the cul
tivation offrnit. and no man who owns a farm,
garden, or even a house-lot, should omit set
ting out fruit trees. They cost but little, re
quire small attention, yet return ns delicious
and health-giving food, and add considerably
to ths value and attractiveness of our homes.
Many persons, intelligent ones, too, live
on farms or country-seats all their lives, but
never set out a tree. They neglect this duty
to talise they think "it takes too long for
sn-es to grow and bear fruit." Prodigious
fkilosophers! Suppose those who "came
before us"—our ancestors—entertained the
same selfish notions ; where would be the
luxuriant fruit that now tickles oar palate '/
Where ? Not certainly in the blooming or
chards, nor in every village or city market.
Instead of the abundance of apples, peaches
ami pears : the profusion of plums, cherries
a ltd other delecacies in the way of small
fruits, we should "go hungry" for those lux
uries ; and tbe noble orchards which beau
tit > our farms and diversify the landscape
-vuuld became curiosities, and the little gar
den of the poor man would be a comparative
desert, a wild, a solitude to himself and fain
tly. This error, mistake, or stupidity in not
planting trees because they are slow in com
ing to maturity, or frail-bearing, is not valid!
it is the excuse of the idle man. the apology
of the sluggard, and the subterfuge, evasion
and shift of those who live upon the labor of
others.
We cannot jump from diaper to broadcloth:
we camsot make prize beef out of juvenile
calves ; we cannot slide from depravity to
righteousness, nor can we raise or propagate
tree fruits in a day or a year. But, by prop
er planting, skillful culture on favorable soils,
we can obtain fruit in a comparatively brief
time. If we do not live to enjoy the returns
of our labor, somebody else will—perhaps
your children or your grand children, or may
be a foot-sore and travel-weary beggar may
rest beneath the broad, bending branches of
your orchard : he may satisfy tht gnawing*
of hunger on your fruit, and thank tbe Great
Father of aIL that you planted, watered,
pruned and protected the trees that continu
ed to bloom, blossom and bear good fruit
while the grass and the daisy nod over yottr
mouldering ashes.
The profits of orchard or tree culture, are
increasing every year. With good manage
ment the fruits of tbe orchard will often bring
more tnan ihe productions of the field. Few
orchards, if on good soil and properly cared
for. will fail to net one hundred dollars per
acre —often twice or thrice that amount. The
demand for fine fruit it increasing annually,
and there is no danger of over stocking the
market. But if there was little marketable
value in orchard fruit, it should be cultivated
for its health giving properties—for yourself,
your family and your friends. Go on the
principle of increasing domestic comfort: or
perpetuating good health ; of adding some
thing to the pleasure and happiness of those
who are dependent upon you. Generosity to
posterity, to those who may toil on the same
farm, who may sow tbe same fields, who may
gather the harvests after you are gone, and
who are at last laid beside you under the
same identical soil you have all cultivated,
should not be forgotten. We all belong to
one great family or brotherhood, of whom
God is the Great Father.
Spring is a favorable time to transplant
fruit trees in the New England and Middle
States. In the South, below thirty six de
grees, the Autumn is probably the best peri-
od to set out fruit trees. Not so in the North;
now is the best time, in our opinion. In se
lecting trees, avoid purchasing from nurser
ies of very rich land, for there the young
trees hare been advanced too rapidly. They
have been pushed ahead "for a market are
perhaps healthy, but are tender and sappy,
and will not thrive afterwards on ordinary
soils. Again, look for vigorous trees, with
good roots, strong and fibrous ; with the wood
well hardened, and the bark smooth, clean
and healthy-looking. In selecting ground for
fruit trees, choose a gcod, dry soil; if the
land is naturally wet, underdrain it, or if it is
thin and shallow, sub-soil it. Of situations,
parties mnatjudge for themselves. Low land
is subject to frosts ; as a general advice, put
your trees on middling high 'and, though not
at the extreme summit. If adjacent to a
pond or large river, all the better. All bod
ies of water mitigate the severity of Winter,
and cool the extreme heat of Summer. In
regard to scientific transplanting, and the af
ter culture, they require more space than we
can spare. Veteran tree planters require no
advice, and amateurs should consult book au
thority. Remember, however to PLANT TREES
THIS SPRING.— Farm and Fireside.
GRAIN STATISTICS. —It may be interesting
for those who believe that agriculture cannot
be as favorably prosecuted in the Eoat as it is
in the V'est. to know that while the yield of
wheat in Massachusetts average* fifteen bush
els per acre, that of Ohio and lowa is but
eight : that while corn averages twenty-cine
bushels in Massachusetts, it only amounts to
twenty-eight in lowa and thirty-five in Ohio ;
that oats averages twenty-three bushels in the
former State to twenty-five and twenty-seven
in the two latter ; that rye averages eleven
bushels in Massachusetts, ten in Ohio and
thirteen in lowa ; and that in potatoes, Mas
sachusetts produces ninety bushels to sixty
eight and sixty-seven in her rivals.
TAMING BEES.— The whole art of "taming
bees" is embodied in the following
Ist. A honev bee filled with "liquid sweets,'
will not sting of its own accord,
2d. Bees, when frightened, will generally
fill themselves with honey, and ifgiven liquid
sweets, will invaii&bly accept them.
Bees may be frightened thus :
Ist- By blowing upon them the smoke of
spunk, tobacco or cotton rags.
2d. By confining them to the hive, and rap
ping the sides of it lightly with a small stick.
At first, the bees will try to get ont, but find
ing that impossible, they will then rush to
their stores and fill themselves with hopey.—

A YANiK.it iawyer who was pleading tbe
cause of a little boy, took him up in his arms
and held him up to the jury, suffused in tears.
This had a great effect, until the opposite
lawyer asked the boy. "What makes you cry?"
"He's pinching me," said the boy.
MB. BKAR was at a public dinner, two gen
tlemen by the name of Bird being in the com

who was a good singer, was called on to
oblige the company with a song. He irome
diatelv rose and said: "Gentlemen, your con
duet on this occasion is so highly improper,
that 1 cannot help noticing it."
"For why?" said the gentleman.
"That vou should call on a Bear to sing,
when you hare two Birds in the company."
As eastern editor says that a man in New
York got himself ink) trouble by marrying
two wives. A western editor replies by as
suring hia cotemporary that a good many men
had done the same thing by marrying one.
A northern editor retorts that quite a num
ber of his acquaintauces found trouble enough
by barely promising to marry, without going
any further. A southern editor says that a
friend of his was bothered enough when sim
ply fonnd in company with another man's
wife.
As Clay and Benton were going home late
one night from a Presidential party at the
White Honse, Clay said to Benton, when they
came near ats eating-house, 'Let's stop in
here and see if we can't get a glass of ale and
pick up the left leg of a goose or turkey.'
'And pray, sir, what is the difference between
the right and the left leg, sir?' asked Ben
ton, in his usually pompous style. 'All the
difference in the world,' quietly replied Clay,
'if it happens to be the only leg left.'
FROM Bockwood, Illinois, we have word
that Holey B , a ready-witted Irishman,
still lives, and is able to get outside of his
regular liquids. The other day one of the
boys, thinking to have a little fun out of him,
said.
"Holey, have you heard the news ?"
"No .- what news ?"
"Why the devil's dead."
Not a word said Holey, but putting his
hand in bis pocket and pulling out a ten cent
ahinplavtar, handed it to his questioner, who
asked what it was for.
"Why," answered Kolev, "iu the outd
country, where I came from, it was the cus
tom to ffVce the chtVlrcii something vhen the
parents died.''
Whereat there was some laughter, but no
more inquiries.
WOMAN'S WILL. —Dip the great ocean dry
with artea-poon: twist your heel into the toe
of your boot; make postmasters perform their
promises and subscribers pay the printer; send
up fi.*hing hooks with balloons and fish for
stars; get astride a gossamer and chase a
comet; when the rain is coming down like the
cattaract of Niagara remember where you left
your umbrella; choke a musquito with a
brickbat: hold Gibraltar at arms' length; in

impossible, but never coax a woman to say
she will, when she has made up her miud she
won't.
"YOU'VE GOKB OVER IT." —One Sunday
morning an old gentleman was going to
cburch. He was a happy, cheerful Christian,
who had a very great respect for the Sabbath.
He was, however, somewhat singular in his
manner of giving reproof. As he was going
along, he met a man driving a heavily loaded
cart through the town.
When the old gentleman came opposite the
cart he suddenly stopped, and lifted up both
bands, ss if in alarm, he exclaimed, as he
gazed upon the cart.
'•There, there, yon are going over it; you
have gone right over it.
The driver wag frightened, and instantly
cried out "Whoa, whoa," and brought his
horse to a stand.
He then looked under the wheels expecting
to see the mangled remains of some innocent
child, or at least some poor dog or pig, that
had been crushed to death.
Bnt, after gazing about, and seeing nothing
under the wheels, he looked at the gentleman
who had so strangely arrested his attention,
and anxiously asked, "What have I gone
over, sir ?'
"Over thefourth commandment, my friend,"
was the reply ; "Remember the Sabbath day
to keep it holy."
Goon FOR FOKTTTCSES.— The Shelby (Ind.)
Courier says-
Urgans in the churches have become very
fashionable of late. In almost every church
you go into you will find one of these instru
ments. A friend of oars, who lives in a
neighboring village, related to us yesterday,
an amusing incident which occurred in their
cbnrch.
He said, to be in fashion, they must have
an organ. The congregation could not afford
to pay an organist, so they got a self acting
organ, a compact instrument well suited to
the purpose, and constructed to play forty
tunes.
The sexton had instructions how to set it
going, and how to stop it; but unfortunately
he forgot the latter part of his business; and
after singing the first four verses of a bymn
before the organ could not be stopped, and
continued playing two verses more; then just
as tbe clergyman completed the words "let
us pray," the organ again clicked and started
another tune.
The sextou and others continued their ex
ertions to find the spring, but no one could
put a stop to it; so they got four of the stout
est men in the church to shoulder the perverse
instrument, and they carried it down the aisle
of the church, playing away, into the church
yard, where it continued clicking and playing
away until the whole forty taaes were finish
•d.
