Causes cf ilic Failnrc of , Young Orcliarda. : In traveling aboat the country, one can hardly fail of teing struck with the pau city "of ycung- orchards' in a. flouriihinjr condition. ' The traveler sees, now and then a small unclosure set out to apple tree's, which in a great majority of cases exhibit anything but a healthy .appear ance. Those that , are' already dead maintain but a feeUe existence ; but of ten the trees are either... dry sticks," With a lot of ; little sprouts growing up' from their roots, or miserable sickly looking things with now and then a tuft of leaves on their limbs. To what shall we attrib ute the cause of this state of things? Why is it that there are so few thrifty young orchards ? Iu reply to these ques tions we answer : 1. The failure is more frequently from having the work improperly dene. Of ten from the ground cot being properly prepared, or being cf an improper char acter. It is useless to attempt to grow fruit trees in grass land without any sort of cultivation, as many men do, not even mulching or hoeing around the trunks. That trees fail to flourish when thus used is not to be wondered at. Others select ground in which the wa ter line is very near the surface, and take no measures to remove the water from the over-charged soil that renders it cold and sour, and thus having no dep'h of root, the leaves turn yellow, they lin ger awhile then die fairly drowned 'cut. Others adopt the other extreme and p!;mt on a dry gravelly . knoll where the soil has nCAer been stirred more than three crfcur inches deep, without any kind of mulch, and if a dry season ensues, their trees dry up and perith ; er if the two or three first seasons prove favorable, and their . trees live, they make but slow growth, are ax long while coming into bearing, and never produced much. Others fail from improper setting. Ei'her from not understanding their work or-fer want of time and a "make-do-sys-rem" of driving things, they dig a little hole in the unprepared soil grass ground perhaps thrust in the tree with its roots twisted or doubled up, throw cn the clods, stamp down the earth upon the roots, and bid it live ond flourish. Men who treat their own trees in this way, cught not to expect their trees to lir. To merely maintain existence is all lhat the most vigorous' tree could do um'er such treat ment, and1 if it dots this, it does well, without ever producing an apple. ' 2. Another cause of failure is the con dition of the trees when taken from the nursery. .The soil is exclusively, rich, with forcing manures, in order to grow straight "smooth trees; and in order to hurry them into market. What is the result ? The impetus given to the scion, after being engrafted forces it to the height of four or five feet the first year. The over-grown scion has a large pith and in the end becomes a rotten-hearted, diseased tree. None of the difficulties are ever encountered in 'growing seed ling trees, that attach to nursery-grafted trees. It is7 seldom that a seedling tree left to itself fails cf maturing. No mat ter how bad the usage it may receive it will still persist in living, if in no other way, in a mat of dwarfed and thorny shrubs. Why this dmerence ? It is be cause the seedling grows more slowly, consequently is more hardy, healthy, en suring and sound. Hence this fact af fords a suggestion that maybe turned to Cood practical account, which is grow seedling trees, and leave the grafting for an after; consideration. Tl is seems to us to be the safest way. JNew Vorly Rural American. Textile Plants. In the days of Christ very little cotton was grown, and Flax and Wool made up the sum total of human clothing. At this time cotton fabrics are far more exten sively used than linen. Whether the for mer is of more real value is very doubt ful. If there was as much money inves ted in the growing of flax , in the United States, as there is in the culture of cot ton, it would doubtless modify very much the apparent value of the two textiles. But thero is another item of import ance to the Great West, which we shall do well to consider. The cultivation of substitute for cotton, 1 in the wheat and corn growing States of the North will tend to increase the price of the cereals, by reducing the tmount produced.' Cot ton wool is stronger than lint, but the lat ter is the stronger of the two. Cotton mixes more easily with wool, but if lint may be cut and carded, so as to mix as well, t would, most likely, produce a more desirable cloth, affording to fine wools a stronger body. In Russia, it is said, they have lately brought forward a new lint producing veg etable, called the silk plant. It is said to be very soft, and quite strong. This should be introduced immediately into tne Corn' crrowing States, and thoroughly tried and our Agricultural Societies should en deavor to direct public attention to the im portance of producing more of those ma terials which we import, as the best means by which to obtain remunerative prices for the aggregate of farm products. If the Mississippi Valley grew it own ttooI and 'linen, as it does . its own cotton ond susnr, the empire of weal th would be rap idly transferred to ths west. The Iran vho wmrs pegged loot? Las rslritvs "n.tt.-ie in Lis solo." From the Prairie Farmer. Pall Planting of Fruit Trees. We propose to bring forward some cf the opinions which have been given in favor of and against Fall Planting, by some of the best orchardists and horti culturists in the West. At the annual meeting of the Wiscon sin Fruit Growers, held at Whitewater last winter, Mr. Conger said he could see no reason why they should not plant in the Fall ia Wisconsin as well as in Ill inois and New York. "True, trees in the nursery do not always ripen their wood eariy enough to admit of it; and this is the reason so many of our impor ted trees from the East, fail; but this ob jection may be overcome. A. G. Hanford says, roots will heal and forrrrwithout leaves, even if simply heeled in has seen it repeatedly know an instance in which fifty trees were fro zen up solid in the earth the day after planting all lived and flourished except one or two. Fall planting, however, he thought, should be early, and care should be taken to bring earth in contact with the roots etc., as in Spring. . Just before winter sets in, would raise a mound of fifteen inches about the stem, and mulch the roots with coarse manure or litter; J. C. Plumb would plant in September or early iu October, and have no trouble ; must give the roots a chance to heal. Mulching is impoitant as a preventive of evaporation of vital sap, by dry freezing winter weather. If we plant in Spring, trees should be taken up before the sap starts and may then be planted at leisure. The 'nvell-doing" 33 more important than size or age. wnai we want is tne roots would. cut back some in - all Cases,' is usu aLv t !.;? -3 f.-urths cf the t;r..' Alr. .Conger .Tefcrr.l-aH the" roots, we tould.. ihen lcaveoll the tops, hence he preferred young trees, and is conse quently a sensible man. We would not pay as much for a tree, four or or five years old, .were we going to plant it in the fail or nny other time, as for only two years old. Our western planters twill learn to distinguish in this vay some day. D. F. Kinney, of Rock Island says "I have had good success in planing late in November, and the best in December. Dr. J. Kennicott, regards October the safest Autumn month for transplanting all hardy trees except stone fruits and evergreens, neither of which, he says, should be planted in Autuan, unless with an unbroken ball attached to their roots. With that you may transplant what you will and when you will with most gratify ing success. But the Doctor does not recommet.d planting deciduous trees in the Autumn with the leaves on, nor be fore the wood had matured or been checked in growth by frosts. The Die ter urges that in early autumn planting, water should be given to the roots, if the soil be dry, the same as you would in April or May, because vitality and es pecialiy transpiration is still slightly ac tive in October. Ladles Carrying the Crops The following originated, it is said with the Terre Haute Express. It is ap plied to ladies of the editor's locality, but its homely -figures have point and ap plication in every neighborhood. Here is lady No. 1, with ten acres of wheat gracefully thrown around her per son twelve bushels to the acre. Ten times twelve are one hundred and twen ty, at SO cents a bushel; 120.S0 Lady No 2. lightly trips along under four tons of hay, worth seven dollars per ton 28. She stands erect, as stiffly as Norwegian women every day with a loard of kindling wood on their heads. Lady No. 3, sweeps the path and cir cumjacent dog-fennel with a train which exhibits two yoke of steers at S35 $70. Lady No 4, is enrolled in twenty acres of corn, forty bushels to the acre, worth thirty cents per bushel ; S2-10. Lady No. 5 has a mule colt suspended from each tar, at $15 $30. Drinking Impure Water. y a a a bet a pitcher or iced water in a room, inhabited, and in a few hours it will have absorbed from the room nearly all the respired and perspired rjasses cf the room, the air of which will have become purer, but the water utterly filthy. Thi depends on the fact that water has the faculty of condensing and thereby ab solving nearly all the gases, which it does without increasing its own bulk. The colder the water is, the arreater is its capacity to contain these gases. At ordi nary temperatures a pin.t of water will contain a pint of carbonic acid gas, and several pints of ammonia. This capaci ty is nearly doubled by reducing the temperature to that of ice. Hence wa ter kept in the room for awhile, is always unfit for use, and should be often renew ed whether it has become warm or not And tor the same reason the water in a pump stalk should be all pumped out in the morning before any is used. That which has stood in the pitcher over night is not fit for coffee water in the morning. Impure water is more injurious to health than impure air, and every persan should provide the means of obtaining fresh pure air, and every person should provide the the means of obtaining fresh pure water. Farmer. Treatment for the Bite of a Dog. Dr. Stephen Ware, cf Boston, in his testimony in a recent case which grew out of injuries from the bite of a dog, furnished the following Valuable advice : In the case of the bite by a dog where the teeth of the animal penetrate into the flesh, whether the dog was known to be mad or not, he should use the same precautions, viz: He would wash the wound with warm water, extract all the virus possible, by sucking the wound with his lips, and then cauterize it deeply with the caustic most readily obtained, but should use potash if it could be pro cured at once. The time in which the effects of the bite of a rabid dog would be seen, varied from two to three days to as many years ; but if no effects were felt after two or three months, as a general thing, the patient might feel himself safe. Bites made through clothing are seldom productive of much harm, as, even when the dog is mad, the clothing absorbs the j virus, before the teeth reach the fieh. the fatal cas-33 o:curri w.iere was 'iittiii cn soma naked Concerning the possibility of a cure Tomato Chowder. Take green tomatoes, cut a small piece off the the stem end, and aho from the other side; thtnlay them in a pan. Sprinkle with salt, pour boiling water on them, and let them stand ten minutes. Chop them up fine, putting in some cab bage, horse radish, and peppers; and vinegar on, and they are ready to pack in crocks. They make an, excellent dish to serve with meat. Try it.

There are also seeds of melons, squashes, camel's food, dates, walnuts equal to the English, and probably adap ted to the Southern and Middle States. The seed of the mais tree, which is es teemed as medicinal or prophylactic, are also procured from . the inclosure of the Temple of Solomon. , Drilling Wheat An argument in favor of drilling in wheat, would seem to be out cf place, at this time, since every where we go farmers are forward to tell us, This year hasf AW satisfied me that, drilling wheat is the only sure way to ol t.iiu a good crop There seems to be nobody in doubt ypen the subject as many were before. This season has left a general impression on the minds of farmers that drilled wheat has averaged five bushels of wheat to the acre more than theundrilled through out the entire State. The result is that the demand for drills at this time is more than double that of any previous season Messrs. Lawrence Davis & Co., of Dub lin Indiana, who manufacture Moores Wheat Drills, tell us that their stock was exhausted more than a month ago, and that but for the fact that thev had several hundred machines, ready to be put to gether with great rapidity, they would have been utterly unable to supply the demand.

Talking and writing are di? gestive processes which are absolutely essential to the mental constitution cf the man who devours many books. But it is not every man that can talk. Talk-, ing implies first of all a readiness on the part cf the speaker", ana' next a'sympav thetic listener. It is therefore a diges tive process the most difficult, if it is the' most rapid Tn its operation. Writing 13 altogether a different affair a' man may take his own time to it, and not require a reader he can be his own reader. It is an easier, although formal prcces3 cf digestion than talking. It is in every body's power and everybody who reads, much makes more or less use cf it, .be cause, as Bacon says, if he does not write then he buu'ht to have extraordina- ry faculties to compensate for such neglect It is in this ?iev that we are io under stand the complaint of a well known au-" thor, that he was ignorant of a certain, subject, and the means by which he wai to dispel his ignorance namely, by writ ing on it. It is in this view that the monitorisV system of instructicn has its great raW; to the monitors it is the best , sort ct teaching. It is from the same point cf view that Sir William Hamilton used' to lament the decay of leaching as a partcf the education of students at the univer sities. In the olden time it was necessa ry to the c.k i'f a decree graduate sr.cai give evider.ee cf his ci it v as a tc; :her lies of his t'ecrree as and in the very ti- a mauistf.r nr .! i: tor, he was Ut-siiiiiea aa a u-ivr. i. . man never knows anything, Sir William Hamilton used to say, until he has taught it in some wav or other it may be oral ly, it may be by writing a book. It is a grand truth, and points a fine moral. Knowledge is knowledge, say the phi losophers; it is precious for its own sake; it is an end to itself. But nature says the opposite.

Holmes: If the reader of this paper lives an other year, his self conscience principla will have migrated from his present ten ement to another, the raw materials even of which are not yet put together. A portion of that body of which is to be, will ripen in the corn of next harvest. Another portion of his future person, he will purchase, or others will purchase for him, headed up in the form of certain tar-.. rels of potatoes nrd other root3.
