Transplanting Prnlt Trees In Autnnm.
Although it is a prevailing custom with the
public to art fruit and ornamental tree in the
spring1, yet rxporienre prove that autumn is in
many cases preferable lor transplanting decidu
ous trpc. At this season the cultivator ran
more conveniently select and romnve trees to a
distance. Autumnal Irar.splAntin; ilmuid bit
performed as tmon as the frost checks the prowth
of Ihfl trees. Tim soil is then mellow end easi
ly pulverized it becomes well settled about
the root, and the trees commence erowine vith
out interruption in the sprinp, and are not so
liab' to be injured by drought. If the anil is a
heavy clay, or the subsoil such as to hold Ihe
water about the root during wint-r, then it
would be better to sot them in th Fprintr.
NV'hen it is not practicable for the froit-prower
to transplant his trees in autumn, be can pi rpsrp
the p round, select the trees, and 'lay thorn in
by the heels,' which is to dip a trench, into
which the roots are placed and covered, the
trunks inclining on anple of fifteen nr twenty
depree towards the csrtli. This nmdo may
be adopted with success upon some tender va.
rieties, ns I hey may then bo easily protected by
covrinp them with straw, or everpreen bnoplis.
I fhall now make a few remarks on the mm
nrr of settinp treet as success in rearmp de
penda more upon this than upon the time of set
linp. The preliminary arrinpement should be,
unless the soil is extremely fertile, to prcpnre
j a lot of compost, such as two parts muck and one
I part animnt manure well rotted, or some sub
1 stance containinp a larpe share of decomposed
vegetable. The holes should then be lup suf
ficiently larpe to receive the roots, end leave
a space of at least six inches beynni the extremi
ties. The compost should be thoroughly incor
porated with the soil into w hich the trees are

gave tia that he wanted nothing but opportunity to
distinguish himself in the service of his country.
If (here was one officer in the aimy for whose
noble p-illantry anil generous ardor any man
would be sa'e in pledging his life, that officer
was Gen. Worth. And nobly has he justified
this confidence, and redeemed those decl.irat inns.
Gen. Taylor, with the noble sympathy which
?o highly graces the snluier, pave Worth the
o;ipOilnnity which be burnt to enjoy. Me per
mitted him In lead the van at Monterey ; and
he has truly distinguished himself, a much by
his riisctetion as by bis chivalry.
Duo would have supposed that Gen. Worth
would have been hurried by the strong motives
which actuated him, to 'pluck dimmer at the
cannon's mouth,' and ru.lt into the host of tat
tle, without any regirJ to consequences. Hut
such was not the case. Gen. Worth reco'ect-
