Is it Best to Plant Fruit Trees in tlie ;
Fa'l or Spring?
TTc have receired quite a number of rc j
plies to the above question, a few extracts j
from which wiil be interresting :
" Taking all things into consideration," |
says E. I'. Barnes, of Pharsalia, X., V., " I
think fall planting the Lest. The planter
then has more timo to prepare his land, and
get it in good condition for setting the trees.
Fall planting, too gives the soil a chance to
settle nrouud the roots, sc that the trees are
at home and ready for growing, ns soon cs j
tha warm weather comes, in the spring "
A well known writer of .Massachusetts takes;
a different view of the matter. He prefers 1
spring planting :
" After severing the trees in nr.'nrrn from j
the vital heat of the ccrth, they nre exposed j
to the severity of winter before having time j
to recover it again by summer growth. To 1
an extent, the sap circulates in trees in the j
winter ; and it has been shown that the tern
perature of their central wood never runs so 1
high or so low ns the surrounding air, but j
keeps nearly within the range of 40 and GO de
grees Fall. Ilei.ce trees, when planted in
the fall, In latitude 42 and north of i', are more
likely to bo winter than when planted
in the spring as they nre deprived cf the warmth
of their mother earth. Asa general rule, t lie
spring is undoubtedly tho safest time to
pisnt a!! trees ; though some fruit trees
will lira in latitude 42 when set in tho
fall,as every one well knows Apple trees are of
this class. But those trees whose wood is
fpungy and formed rapidly, grow late, or have
been much forced,arc unsafe planted in the au
tumn, as the violence of transportation sud
denly cuts them off( as before hinted) from
warmth, particularly necessary for their pre
servation. Shearing a lamb in December
would not be so impolitic. Peach and apri
cot trees very rarely live when set in on
tumn ; cherry trees may possibly, and some ;
times pear trees do tolerably well, lint since !
I hare lost several valuable ones of the latter, j
when thus planted, from one place to anoth
er in my garden, I dare not venture only on
the poorest ; and then am careful to get up
as much soil with the roots as possible. Set .
in tlie spring, I have never lost u tree of any |
kind, except eight plum trees, bought at aue- j
tion, whoso death I do not regret."
F. 11. 11. also prefers spring planting. He'
ears : "In taking up a tree, the roots are
more or less mutilated, and the tree enfeebled;
and when set out in tho fa!!, less able to with
stand the rigors of winter,more liable to heave
out with the frost, and to be blown down
by tho wind. It is sometimes said, by full
setting, the trees becomes more firm and the
earth settled about the roots, and consequent
ly will start earlier in the spring. But the
same end may be obtained by early spring
planting, before the heavy rain, or by water
ing at tlie time of planting."
W. Alxander of Michigan, prefers to plant
in the fall, especially when the trees have to
be obtained from a distant nursery.
C. G. Brown, of Wisconsin, also advocates
fall planting. Sometimes trees planted in
the fail are injured by the " Lardrr freezing
of the ground where it has been disturbed ;
but this difficulty may bo easily remedied bv
covering tho roots with a greater depth cf
earth than it is intended shall remain upon
them."— Gti.escc Farmer.
On Roaring Calves.
F. Maynard, of .Ml'erson Co., X*. Y.,
writes My manner of rearing calves is this :
Take them from tlie cow as soon as the milk
Is good, and learn them to drink on new milk.
I would not offer then their first mess in less
than twelve or eighteen hours alter being taken
from the cow. Sty remove them the middle
of the afternoon, and offer the messes the
next morning. Buck them iuto a coiner to
prevent their wheeling about, get astride the
neck, and with a boy to hold tue u'.sii, put the
left band on the top of the head, and with a
finger in his mouth, put his nose gently into
the milk, and if he has sense enough to be
worth raising, he will 'eat when he is hungry.'
When lie surks the fc-mr readily, draw it
gently frcrn his mouth, and leave it resting
against his nose. In this way he will soon
Team to drink without anything in his mouth.
"I give him new milk a week or two, then
add a little warmed skimmed milk, adding
more and by degrees, until he will drink ait
•kirnmcd milk. At the season when milk
sours, I add a little sour, and repeat the pro
cess until lie will take all sour. I think thick
miik preferable to any other skimmed milk
for a calf.
" I do not say you can raise as good a calf
on skimmed as on new milk, but I do say to
raise one on new miik as good as I can on
skimed will cost five times as much. Ouo er
ror that many persons fall into in feeding
skimmed milk i-, they feed to much while the
calf is young. Two or three quarts twice a
day is quite plenty for several weeks ; increase
the quanity us lie gets older Two gallons at
a mess when lie is three months old will do
him no harm, and if he gets it three times a
day at four months, all the better.
" Many psrsons wean their calves by mid
summer ; I would feed them as long as the
cows gave milk. Good calves and good pigs
seldom grow well together. I never knew
s man to get a premium ou both at the same
fair.
" Calves should be kept warm and dry the
first j winter, and fed on good hay. wit! a little
bran or shorts, ami dealt with gently."
A gentleman in this state, who has had
considerable experience in rearing calves, re
marks :
" There are two verv good w ays of raising
calves, besides letting them run with the cow,
which is seldom done by calf-raisers. One
way is to let the calf run with the cow until
three or four days old, then put it in a yard,
and feed it new milk fir three or four weeks,
when it may ba fed on part skimmed mi k for
a few days, when it may be fed entirely on
hkimaied milk, with the addition of a little
meal or wheat shorts After two or three
weeks, the calves should be turned into a pas
ture by themselves, where they can get plenty
cf grass and clear water, but they should
be fed with miik until three months old, when
the milk may bo left off, and only a little meal
or shorts given ; but they should reeeive some
other feed besides grass all along through
the fall and winter, wheu they will coma out
as spry as deer, and their hair smooth und
glassy and free troin lice or disease.
" The other way is. to put the calf to skim
med milk after the first week, and continue
feeding the same until three months old, let
ting 'ne if have what jrasg it will eat."

Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
A COMPOUND REMEDY, designed to be the most ef- j
XX fectuat Alltiu Itc th.it can be made, it is a i on- 1
ci titrated extract of Para Sar.-aparilln. *o combined with
otiier snbt-tiioces of Mill greater alterative power as to ]
afford an effective antidote lor the diseases Sarsaparilla is j
reputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is;
ivuutid by those who suffer from Strumous compUiuu. j
and that one which will accompli-li their cure must proie i
ot immense service to thtHHarge ela.s ot our afflicted tc! !
low-citizens. How completely thiscompouud will do it ,
has been proven by expciiment on many of the worst j
cases to be found ol the following complaints :

AND KBITTM K BISKA*FX, ULt'KKH. I'lMI I.KH. BLOTCHFS, j
TUMORS. SALT RHFUM. SCALD Hkad, SYPHILIS ANI' Sv- ■

lIAI.OIA OK Tic I) it i.oi iici x. DKBIKITV, DVSPEPSIA AND :
ISOIOE-TION. KKVSIPEI.AS, Rose OK St. ANTHONY'S FIKK,
and indeed the w hole class oi complaints arisiug from
IMPCKITY OF TUK BLOOD. i
This compound wiil lie found a great promoter of
health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul hu
mors wnieh tester in the blood at that season ot the year.
By the timely expulsion ol them many rankling disoi- j
dcrs ure nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, I y tlie aid I
ol this rem- (ly. spare themselves front the endurance ot | ;
eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system >
will strive to rid itself of corruptions, it not assisted to j
do this through the natural i liaunels of the tody i>y an ;
alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood j
whenever you tind its impurities bursting through the |
skin in pimples,eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when you j
find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it j
whenever it is foul, and your leelings will tell you when.
Kvcn where no particular disorder is felt people enjoy ;
better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. .
Keep the Mood healthy, nml all is well; but with this I'
pabulum of life disordered, there can lie no lasting health. ;
Sootier or later something must go wri up, and the glCa j
machinery of life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has. and deserves much, the reputation of j
accomplishing these ends. Jtul the world has been cgre- !
gionsly deceived by preparations of it, partly liecause j
the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed for i
: it. but more because many preparations, pretending to j
I he concentrated extracts of it. contain hut little of the
j virtue of Sarsaparilla. or anything else,
j During late years the public have iieen misled by large ;
! bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Saraa- ]
1 parilla lor one dollar. Most of these have been frauds :
| upon the si. k. for they not i nly contain little, if any .
| Sarsaparilla, but ofti n tin curative properties whatever.
! Ilenee, hitter and painful disappointment has followed!
j the use ol the various extracts of .Sarsaparilla which i
: Hood the market, until the name itself is justly <ir
j spiseil, and has become ayuonyinous with imposition and 1
: cheat. Still we call this compound Ssr-aparilla. and in |
, tend to supply such a remedy as shall re-rue the name!
from the load of obloquy whidh rests upon it. And we
think we have ground ior believing it lias virtues which j
are irresistible by the ordinary rim of the ili-e.ises it is j
intended to cure. In order to serine their complete i
| eradication Irom the system, the remedy should 1 e judl- |
I ciotisly taken according to direct! inn on the bottle.
