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.

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."
