JtgricuUlttal. About Evergreens. Almost anj'thiiig greeu iscbarmiug in winter. This is especially true of evergreen trees. After the severe hosts of autumn have done their lk of dismantling the forests and • hanging all nature from i} 9 velvety i reen to a dusky brown, and winter in all its rigor is upon us ; then it is mat the evergreens appear most con spicuous,standing forth in their beau ty and glory. In travelling about the country and noticing the naked appearance of many dwellings, sur rounded by scarcely a tree or a shrub of any kind to relieve their loneli ness, we are led to wonder how the occupants can endure such a state of things, when a few trees of different kinds would, especially if evergreens, add so much to the cheerfulness of the place, by affording a delightful shade in summer, and robbing the winter months of much of their dreari ness This deficiency of trees and shrub bery around our farm houses may be j the result of a lack of taste in some instances, and in others, the want of experience in handling the evergreen. Some people have the idea that the 1 spruce of all kinds are very difficult to transplant, so as to make them live. This is not the case if the ope uition of transplanting is performed at the right time. If the trees have been well treated in the nursery,they may be transplanted at the same time as deciduous trees ; but the safest and best time to transplant ever greeus is late in the spring, when the sap is in circulation, and the tree has started to grow. If done well at this time there can scarcely be a failure. It is, however, more difficult to re move spruce from forests, for the rea son that not having been previously transplanted, they consequently have comparatively few fibrous roots, and when taken from a thicket and set in | open ground, they are more liable to j dry up and die before new roots can be formed to supply to moisture lost by every evaporation. Still, this lia bility should not deter any one from planting a few evergreens around his dwelling,even if he finds it necessary j 10 go to the fo rests to procure them, i Notwithstanding the country is great ly deficient in the matter of tree planting,yet there is a growing inter est in it, and there are many situa tions that have been literally changed to a paradise by a liberal use of trees ' and shrubbery. There is a great variety of the class of trees called evergreens that are undoubtedly worthy of note, but we will mention only a few well-known and hardy sorts that will succeed well everywhere, grow rapidly, and make beautiful trees, viz., Norway spruce, Scotch piDe, hemlock, white cedar, balsam fir, and white pine. The six varieties form a bulk of all the ever greens planted in this country. Some •if these are not only beautiful when grown singly, or forming groups, but are also beautiful as well as useful in forming hedges, screens and wind breakers. For such purposes the .<unlock, aibor vitm and Norway spruce are the best. Hedges made of evergreens are not uecesoarily expen sive. Plants from two to three feet in height can be purchased from 6ix to ten dollars a hundred and perhaps for less in larger quantities ; and if set at a distance of two or three feet apart in the row, will in a few years I rm a compact hedge that will he found useful as well as ornamental. —II.Tm Walling ford (Conn.) Circular. Selecting Seed Cora. l'lie Country Gentleman Las Lad several communications in reply to an inquiry " wLetLer tLe end grains "U an ear of corn sLould be planted •>r rejected ? " One correspondent writes : In 1858 an experiment was institu ted and carried through on the farm connected with the Reform School in Westborough, Mass., in order to as certain the facts in the case. An acre of land was planted with corn, in al ternate rows, with seed taken from the butts, middle and tips of the ears. I'he sound corn, soft corn and stover of each were weighed, and in the report is a table of figures, showing the yield ol each kind of seeds. But a* they would occupy too much space in this, I omit them, and simply give the results, as reported by Mr. Flint, Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture. He says : On comparing the crops grown on ties field, and estimating the sound • i n and the stover at seven dollars the ton, it will be found that the val ue of the crops produced by the rows planted with seed taken from the butts, was $l2 53. The value of the produce of the rows seeded from the tips of the ears was $l2 36—(pretty near a drawn game !) The butts produced the most, the tips the next,and the middle the least money value ; while the tips produced the most, the butts the next, and the middle the least sound corn ; and middles produced the most, the butts the next, and the tips the least soft corn. It is difficult to determine by this experiment from what part of the ear the seed should be taken. Proba bly a mixture of the whole ear, being most natural, would be the best." Another writes : "A gentleman prepared his seed by shelling,as iisual,some days previous to planting, by putting the grains from each end of the ear by them selves, and those from the centre of the ear, which he had always looked upon as only the right ones to plant, separately. By some mishap, the man l how convenient to have some one to lay blunders to,) at planting got hold of the wrong parcel,and planted only the poor seeds—the mistake not being discovered until too late to remedy. The result was looked for with some anxiety,the man supposing he would harvest only an inferior crop at the best, but was agreeably disappointed :n having a good aver age crop,both in quantity and quality. After some observation and experi ence,! have arrived at the conclusion ( though T am aware it is not exactly orthodox.) that the lenylh of the seed ear makes but little difference, this being determined almost wholly by the strength of the soil. 1 would as -oon plant from an ear eight as twelve inches in length, ll the seeds were equally bright and sound."
