Shade Tree Planting.
[The ifilloiving, from the American
AgrieulturiAt, eonfirms our own experi
ence in regard to shade trees. We have,
as a general thing, pursued the method
here laid down for trimming arid plant
ilig.—E litor Compiler.]
As 'soon as the frost is emit of tlic
ground, holes should be dog for the
Spring planting of trees, and as soon a.
the - gronnd becomes settled they should
be set out. The sap then is only mode
rately active. Take them up carefully,
with all the root von can get. Pare off
the wounded parts with a ..harp knife;
trim out and shorten the tops, beading
them back, that strong thrifty shoots
may pat out for Summer growth. They
make a much better and earlier top
than When left with long branches with
'a sluggish circulation which frequently
die the first, or second Summer, and
never make a satisfactory or well form
ed top. If the natural root of the tree
litir,ons, or compact in its rootlets
like the horse-chestnut, or maple, it
they be cut short, and properly pruned
of their longer leaders, it will be no
damage to their future growth if pro
perly set, and covered in at planting.
' When planted, if at all exposed to in
jury from animals, or outside influences,
they should be well guarded by stakes.
Don't select large shade trees—over
three inches at the base of the stem—
nor take thorn out of tall, close, woods.
is they be taken fronr - ricatural'forest
growth, let them be from the skirts of
the wood; or, better than cither,.from
a nurtterb, Forest trees are now much
growirfEnurseries, and they are far the
best. Elms, Horpc-chestnuts, and Ma
ples are generally the best, rsakingthe
thriftiest trees, and the finest shades,
and the effit is more imposing where
they are all used in rotation. Elms
Ulmirs Americana)—the - true white
Elm of the forest—have such diversity
of shape, that even if no others were
!atermiaed, they afford great variety.
The Horse-chestnut is compact and um
farm. in appearance ; while the different
varieties of Maple, in wood, bud, leaf,
eMor of foliage, and habit of branch,
are the most varied of all our forest
trees. Oaks, - Beeches, Hickories, and
Satwoods generally, are hard, and
prongy in root, and mostly refractory
livers and growers in transplanting—
rcaicely one in twenty succeeding, un
leeis taken from nurseries or open
---11 1 raids. We do not recommend them,
()lily as specimens, or to fill up a wide
variety: The Tulip, or White Wood
taken' from the forest, is refractory al
'4) ; and the Baii-wood, or Linden, al
tibough a fine tree, invites caterpillars,
•
I.nd other destructive insects. Throw in
an evergreen now and then, and with
your Elma, Maples, and Horse-chest
nuts, your shade trees are complete.
Bees in April
_
IT Y. Qunniv.
Daring this month and next, more
can be effected towards destroying the
moth-worm than in all the rest of the
season. All outsiders are now frozen
to death; only a few eggs and larva that
have been kept alive by the warmth of
the bees inside the hive, are left, and
these now commence operations. The
bees drag them out of the combs, and
drop them on the floor,, where they
tuay be found during the cool mornings,
apd destroyed. Search thoroughly, as
every one that escapes may generate
hundreds, or perhaps thousands, before
the end of the season .... If any stocks
are weak, it is important to ascertain
Which they are, that they may be par
ticularly guarded against robbers.' It
is much better tOgnard against the be
ginning 9 . f evil than to cure it after
wards. Close the entrance, allowing
only one bee to pass at once. Keep a
look out on every real warm day for
the robbers to commence. Do not mis
take a few fighting outside for evidence
of pillaging; it is often a good sign, and
indicates courage for defence. Visit
them after sundown on such days.—
Sometimes
the bees around a weak hive
show unusual activity at the time; those
are robbers, and if let alone, will appro-
Priite every particle of honey, while
the owners seem to look on with the
utmost indifference, and make no effort
to save 'themselves from famine. To
break ap this habit, it is hardly worth
while to resort to many of th 3 common
methods recommended, particularly the

The least trouble is, to confine
tlio bees in some way that will admit

Warm days have passed, when it may

Important Discovery.
C"` 4 UMPTION and all Diseases of the
Lungs and Throat are positively Cured
by Inhalation, which conveys the remedies
to the cavities in the lungs through the ail
passages, and coming in direct contact with
the disehre• neutralizes tho tubercular matter,
allays the cough. chows a free and easy ex- I
pectoration. heals . the lungs, purifies the
blcxxi. imparts renewed vitality to the nervous
system, giving that tone and energy so indis
pensable fur the restoration of health. To be
able to state confidently that Consumption is
curable by inhalation, is to me a eouree of
unalloyed pleasure. It is as much under the
control of medical treatment its any other for
midable disease ninety out of every hundred
cases can betured in the first stages, and fifty
per cent. in the second ; but in the thinfstage
it is impossible to save more than five per
cent for the Lungs are so cut up by the dis
ease as to bid defiance to medical skill.—
h:ven, however. in the last stages, Inhalation
sfforde extraordinary relief to the suffering
attending this fearful scourge. which hannally
destroys ninety-fire thousand persons in the
United States alone : and a correct calculation
shows that of the present population of the
earth. eighty millions are destined to fill the
Consumptive's grave. _
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has
been the great enemy of life: for it spares
neither age nor sex, but sweeps off alike ha
brave, the beautiful, the graceful and tile
gilled. By the help of that Supreme Being
from whom cnmeth every good and perfect
gilt, I am enabled to offer to the afflicted a
permanent and speedy cure in Consumption.
The first cause of tubercles is from impure
blood, and the immediate effect produced by
their deposition in the lungs is to prevent the
Lee admission of air into the air cells. which
causes a weakened vitality through the entire
system. Then surely it is more rational to ex
pect greater good from medicines entering the
cavities of the lunge than from those admin
littered through the stomach ; the patient will
always find the lungs free - and the breathing
easy, after Inhaling remedies. Thus, Inhala
tion is a local remedy, nevertheless it acts
constitutionally, and with more power and
certainty than remedies administered by the
stomach. To prove the powerful and direct
influence of -this mode of administrat'on,
chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy sensi•
bility in a few minutes. paralyzing the entire
nervous system, so that a limb may he am
putated without the slightest pain : inhaling ,
the ordinary burning gas will destroy life in a
few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when fainting or apparently dead.—
The odor of many of the medicines is percepti
ble in the skin a few minutes after being in
haled, and may be immediately detected in
the blood. A convincing proof of the consti
tutional effects of inhalation, is the fact that
sickness is always produced by breathing foul
air—is not this positive evidence that proper
resnedree, carefully prepared and judiciously
administered through the lungs should pro
duce the happiest results? During eighteen
years' practice, many thousands suffering
from diseases of the Wogs and throat, have
been under my care, and I hare effected many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers had
been pronounced in the last stages, which
fully satisfies me that consumption is no
longer a fatal disease. My treatment of con
sumption is original, and founded on long ex-1
perience and a thorough investigation. Ily ,
perfect acquaintance with the nature of tuber
cles, &.c., enables me to distinguish readily,
the various forms of disease that simulate con•
gumption, and apply the proper remedies, rare- ,
ly being mistaken even in a single ease. This
familiarity, in connection with certain patho
logical and microscopic discoveries, enables I
me to relieve the lungs from the effects of con
tracted chests, to enlarge the chest, purify the
blood, impart to it renewed vitality, giving
energy and tone to the entire system.
Medicines with full directions sent to any
part of the United States and Canadas by
patients communicating their symptoms by
letter. But the care would be more certain if
the patient should pay me a visit, which
would give me an opportunity to examine the
lungs and enable me to prescribe with much
greater certainty, and then the sure could be
effected without my seeing the patient
