Were we about to plant an orchard of choice fruit the ages of the trees purchased by us would be : Apples two years, pears two years, peach es one year, cherries one to two years, plums two years. All from the graft or bud. Rather than have trees older than two years, we would prefer them one year, and for the following reasons : I Such small plants are easily taken up with nearly nil their small fibrous roots. They have no large woody roots that are sure to be cut through iu the act of digging, and from the ends of which no small rootlets will genor nlly spring, unavoidably leaving a large amount of dead root wood, which is a positive injury. 11. Small trees receive loss check in being transplanted, nnd in three or lour years equal, if not exceed in size, older ones. They also bear iu about the same period wh'le they are almost always far more thrifty. 111. Trees that have been transplanted when small, are not so liable to disease. When a large tree is transplanted, the growth for that season is always very small, and the bark presents a dry, unhealthy appearance. The tree is liable to become bark-bound, especially with cherries, and the hard pruning necessary leaves a great amount of dead matter in the tree, that may be concealed by new layers of wood, but still remains dead matter. If we could plant seeds of the trees we de sired, in the places where wc wanted them to , forman orchard, such trees would be more i healthy, and much longer-lived, than trans planted trees can be ; but this is a condition of things not easily attained. We should, there fore, adopt the nearest approach to it, and set out young, thrifty plants, with all their fibrous roots nutrimcd, that will adapt them selves to the conditions in which they are placed, aud that will, in course of time, form a valuable orchard. Could we take np large trees with all their roots, and a bali of earth with each tree, than such trees would not meet with a check, and aguin of time would be the result ; but this is seldom the case, aud the better course is to plant out small specimens. These ruh s apply also to oruameutal trees and shrubs. We have a good example of this before us. About twelve years ago, a large evergreen was transplanted by a friend of ours into his garden. It was about twelve feet high, aud great care was takeu of it. At the same time we set out a small one, about eigh teen inches in height. Now, what do you think i 3 the difference betweeu the two trees at the present time ? The large tree lias grown about four feet. The small one is twenty feet high. The large oue has become the small, the small the large. But this iu an extreme case, andtlie like docs not always occur. Still, it is a good illustration of the imprudeuce J of selecting large trees. — Ohio Farmer, April 3. - TRAINING!!KIFFK.RS AND UNRULY COWS. —In : ninety-nine cases out of one hundred, cows are : wild and ungentle from defective breaking at first. The usual method of cornering by the ' fence, or liold.ng by the horns, is just calculo \ ted to produce such cows—cows which must 1m; followed to the fence, find them where you may, or be held or tied, before they will stand for miiking. Higher views of the intellect of cattle should prevail. The secret of training heifers to be gentle, lies in educating them aright—in ap peals to their intelligence—in giving them habits of gentleness and confidence in man while young. Heifers can be learned to stand still through the process of milking very easily if fed from the hand, and petted and tamed before the hour of service arrives. But if this has been neglected, and the animal, full of spirt, fear and strength, was given over to break for milking, we should advise as fol lows ; Let the animal be turned into a yard some twenty or thirty feet across—a strongly fenced yard, from which she will not attempt to es cape, remember—and then proceed to tame her—gently and patiently tame her, by feeding from the hand, by rubbing, coaxing and pat ting her as carefully as a huntsman would a " blooded pup" We should never coax a heifer to stand to be milked by giving her a pail of slop or other brine, but seek to teach her the habit of standing wherever we come up to her, and there submitting to the milking process. To this end we should avoid corner ing her, or any appearance of it, but continue by gentle words and acts, to subdue her fear fulness—to show her our power over her—and to fix the habit of obedience. Iu this way the wildest heifer can be tanred in a few days. If quite unmanageable at first, she should be kept in the yard spoken of until she manifests more pleasure than fear at your approach. To bring about this, allow her to tat aud drink only from your hands, visit her often, and each time with some palatable morsel, all of which would aid in cementing the confidence and friendship which should subsist betweeu the cow aud her milker. For ohl cows which have had bad habits, the yard ftlluded to is valuable, and every dairyman will do well to provide one, opening troui his barn-yard or other milking place.— We Ixdieve that the "most tormenting old vixen that ever kicked and run" cau be broken of their tricks in such a yard, by patient per severance—at least we have never failed in several trials of our skill. If they continue to kick, put a chain around the body just back of the fore legs ; if this does no good, looseu it so as to twist in a lever, and give it turns en ough to teach theui tliey innst submit. Let this mode of training heifers aud unruly cows be tried with the same patience a boy manifests in training his ffly-cent cur and we believe all who do so will be able to report decided success.—[ Country Gentleman. WHITEWASH THAT WILL NOT Run OFF. —Mix np half a pailful of liine nnd water rcadv to put on the wall ; then take one gill of flour aud mix it with the water ; then pour on it boiling water sufficient to thicken ; pour it while hot into whitewash ; stir it nil Well to gether, and it is ready for use. A farmer should Dover depend upon his neigh bor for what he eun by eare and good man agement produce ou his own farm ; should never beg fruit while he can plant trees, or borrow tools wheu he cau make or buy. tlw4.t*ty u the beat polio.
