The citizens of Ashland, In this State, are resorting to the time honor ed custom of planting "Memorial Trees" in order to eel their Public Sqiiare'and Court House grounds im proved this spring. Suppose our citi zens adopt this plan of fitting up the School Souse Block. It is now all TiVelyTehced In, and only heeds a little labor to put it in such shape, tluit n fow veara would show one of the most beautiful spots to be found anywhere. let us ali turn out some Saturday, when the school children will gladly be on hand, and assist, and thus be made feel that the work is fhcirsr become interested in the pro tection and cultivation of the trees and shrubs. Let a tree or shrub be Jpuf o"utas a ""memorial," for each scholar now enrolled on the books of the school, and we will warrant the 'roost .of them will be taken care of.

"VVilUtho friends at Peru take the sameffcteps in regard to the Normal School ?- What do you say Prof. Mc-!ke!'ZIE? '.Planting and Cultivating of Nursery ami Orchard Trees. D. E. PCK, of Marengo, 111., writes us in regard to planting apple grafts ' and cultivating them, as follows : "Root Grafts should be kept packed In earth or old sawdust until set in nursery rows. Take a box six inches deep.'place it on the end, leaning a lit tleib'ack ; fill it with sawdust or earth two or three inches deep ; lay in a layer of grafts two or three deep, keep ing the ends of the scions out; put on more sawdust, working well among the grafts ; put on more grafts, pro ceeding as before, until you get one variety packed ; lay on apiece of lath or:thinjboard, reachingacross thebox, withthe name of the variety written on it; proceed with another variety as with "the first; after all have been packed, set in the cellar or some other cool.place. Great care is necessary in handling grafts, to prevent discon nectingUhe scion from the root. The material usedm packing should be moist but not wet. The grafts should be planted on newish, dry land, with good strength of soil. "The best method of planting, is with a dibble. One may be easily made by taking a stick of seasoned timber one foot long, and one and a half inches in diameter bringing it to a point from about four inches of the top, making a head on the top to pre vent hurting the hand. "Plow the ground deep make the rows straight with a line,rremoving 'thclumps and smoothing the surface under the line ; run the hoe the length of the line, pressing to the earth so as to leave a mark; remove the line, put some grafts in a pan, first dipping tliem In Avalur. Jf any sprouts are on the roots, they should be removed. Drop on your knees, setting the pan of grafts on the opposite side of the row.' Make a hole with the dibble, taking a graft by the end of the scion at the same time with the other hand ; as you pull out tne aiDDle insert the graft, holding it so that the top bud will bo just above the surface of the ground ; place the point of the dibble on the ground about three inches to the right of the graft with the top leaned a little out; force it down till the point reaches near the foot of the graft, then press theearth firm against the root, holding the dibble perpen dicular.with the graft; fill up so that thejdirt will be level in the row ; cul tivate well, and keep free from weeds until the last of July. "The trees may be transplanted to the orchard at once, two or three years old. The pruning should be done in June forming low or high tops as desired. They may be planted either in the spring or fall, but great care should be taken not to expose the roots to sun or frosts. They should beplant edrabout one inch deeper than they stood1 in the nursery rows, with the roots and fibers spread out as they naturally grew. Mulch the tree the first season after setting, keeping the ground well cultivated. Plant with some crop like corn, potatoes or beans, until the trees come well into bearing. The orchard inay then be seeded to clover a-part of the time, keeping the trees Svell mulched with the clover. "It is a good plan to wash the trunks and limbs of the trees with a very strong solution of soap and water, to which add a little salt and sulphur. It should bodoneiuJune, and maybe put on with an old brush or broom. It will destroy bark lice and prevent borers from working in the trees. Keep the tops of your trees well shaped doing the pruning In June." ture reculate the animal kingdom, as -well as the material world. "We must obey the laws of health as the means to secure the ends of great physical power. The wantof health or condi tion of the mare, may degenerate the get of a good stallion. "When the dam has dropped a good colt from one sire, and fails in the second issue from the same sire, it .results from want of condit.on of the parents. The same causes, all other things being equal, would produce similar efiects. Some stallions have become noted for beget- timr irood colts out of all kinds of mares. The reason is obvious they have the capacity to stamp their own excellence upon their colt;?, irrespec tive of the dam. Andre-W Jackson, Vermont, Black Hawk, aiid Hamhle tonian are remarkable examples in the trotting family. Many mares have proved to possess this family gift, and become renowned for superi or colts from indifferent sires. They have inherited the exact reach, the quick circular motion that rapidly annihilates space have had the capaci ty to transmit to their oiisprnig with out the aid of the sire. Madam Tem ple, the Howard mare, the dam of Black Bashaw, are illustrious exam ples of great trottingaction lying dor mant in the members of n family, like old wine grows better with age, and finally rushing out like an elec tric Hash, to startle their friends and astonish the world. The brood mare requires, in addition to great nervous energy from good breeding, a roomy form firm legs, a sound constitution and good temper. The qualities that are hereditary ought to be good through a lonir lino of ancestors. Mares fail from weak loins or defec tive quarters, or soft, spongy legs. This kind canrfot be safely trusted to breed, unless their family should be remarkably good where they may chance to fail. Some stallions have produced good brood mares, but have failed to sire anything that approach ed a first class race horse. There are several examples of horses that have gained their distinction from the fe male line. The cause that- produces this effect results from the fact that these good female sires have the facul ty to beget roomy mares, with broad loins and wide hips the very form to give room for the colt to expand and develope in the germ. Such a dam, coupled with a good horse, would, in the-nextgeneration, produce winners. The health of the dam in the stud is of the utmost importance. Ailments may be hereditary, and descend to the progeny. It is too much to run the risk of breeding from unsound parents. Ordinary labor will not produce dis ease. There must be a predisposition in the mare, inherited from the breed to train oft" or become amiss, if she fails under the ordinary circumstan ces. Bony enlargements such as curbs, spavins and ringbones,are hereditary defects that destroy the value of all breeds. No man in his senses can ap prove of transmitting these destruct ive blemishes from parent toproveny. Broken wind and roaring are vital de fects not settled by the physilogist to be among hereditary diseases, but the chances are that some predisposing cause exists in the breed. Roaring is said to be more likely to inherit from the dam than the sire. The grounds are taken on the influence of the mare upon the vital organs of the colt. The reasoning is not conclusive. The absence of any defect in the wind of both parents would tend to eradicate it irom me Dreea. une legs nave so often failed that the cause must be entailed. The soft, spongy bone, or muscle, or little, insignificent leg, has causedthe break-down of almost ev ery horse that has been trained off tne course. It has become a proverb that one good body will wear out two sets of legs. The weak-limbed, soft footed wretches that would not stand their work, have been put to breeding and inflicted upon the country a set of cripples, after their own kind. The temper of a mare for breeding is of the utmost consequence. It is mv. iimiojijicui nuituaiii: uuuuiuuieb to the colt. No vicious maro should be suffered to become the mother of a vicious family. Neither should a mare be consigned tothestud thathasprov ed too irritable to train, unless she was an exception of the well-known good temper of the family. The vicious-tempered nag will never make a successful racer, or pleasant roadster. .Liiey win eunerreiuseto respond to the call, or prove a rusher under excite ment, and beat themselves and break their backers. The faith in private trials when notexcited will entail great expense in training, only to disappoint their friends and backers, when col lared by resolute, good-tempered hor ses. The pleasant tempered horse never imutes misiaKcs on tne road or race course. The will to do is accom panied by the sagacity to perform well. They will prove a safe companion and faithful servant. Sjririt of Times. Managemcnt.of Marcs in Foal. Mares in foal will do better in every respect if they" can be used in any gentle way to do light' work plowing when the draft is not heavy, harrow ing, &c, or in any way "where the pace Is not more than a walk, where there Is no backing .or stopping weight down hill, or any sharp or vi olent pulling. After foaling, I have always kept the mares on feed accord ing to the milk they had r when they had a very great flush I had them milked at first after the colt had suck ed, and let the mare live on barley or oat straw, or any dry feed, no better, for ten days; after that age I never had a colt ail in any way till it was three years old, and when they would have the strangles, but in many in stances I have known foals die sud denly, from six to ten days old when the mare has been at grass and was very full of milk. When fourteen years old, I was rolling some newly sown barley land on the Cotswold Hills ; one of the mares showed symp toms of foaling ; I hurried her out of the shafts and pulled off her harness ; I had just taken hold of the collar to pull over her head, w.hen she lay down gave one strain and there was a colt. My father came into the field and told me to leave her aloi e, and in two hours after the colt was able to walk into an adjoining field, and, as usual in such cases, nothing more was done and all went well. This is frequently the case with cart mares in the month of April in England, as farmers are anxious to finish spring grain sowing during that month, and use their mares till the last minute, and where nag mares are used at similarly slow work they always do better, and as for any nursing or giving nostrums to dams or offspring, it is never thought ot by any common-sense farmer, in instances" where high priced nags are bred, the mares are not worked, but great care Is taken that they have am ple opportunity to walkabout and ex ercise themselves, and it is particular ly seen to that the mares do not be come too fat, and that their condition is altogether, as much as possible, per fectly natural. Nags foal earlier in England than cart horses, for it is known to be very advantageous to have the young animals as strong as possible against their first winter, but in my experience it has been really extensive in breeding mares, when they have "concieved," are more cer tain to go their full time, have less accidents at the time of foaling, and are altogether subject to less ailments tnan otner stocK ; nine misfortunes out often proceed from the everlasting desire to be always doing something, when doing nothing would be so much better.

The first impression vvoald; naturally follow that of the dam, nursing the embryo from con ception, the'ofTspring "would-inherit the constitution, temper and nervous activity oftfio mother. Exnerienee hasTproved th"econ verse of 'this propo sition. The sire has the most influ ence in generation over the offspring. The superior physical power of the stallion acts upon the nervous system of the mare, and predom inates in the issue. The best bred Earent overrules this latter, and will ave the'most'lnfluence on their oro geny. vForrn or constitutional struct turecthat'has become fixed and 'hered itary must come down from an irro sistable law, as sure as water will gravitate to the ocean.

Tlie fact lias been demonstrated .in- he past two years, that good fruit 'in abundance can, and will be grown in Wisconsin, thus verifying th6 old golden rule, "Where there is a will, there is a way." The old humbug that cood fruit can be crown in a pir- less, slipshod way' has passed away and we are getting our eyes open to the fact that it is only by patient, un tiring care, that we can succeed. "When we look through, our agri cultural papers and see what an inter est and zeal in fruit growing is mani fested in all parts of the country, we are sure that there is opening for our country, a glorious future, and that we shall yet eat of the fruits of our labor under our own vine and tree.

The ground, if level, should be raised around the tree, so that in case of heavy rains, water will not settle in the hole, around the tree. The next attention the tree will require, is to see that the soil is kept packed around the tree, so as not to get loosed by the wind, and then see to it that no careless boy, or man disturbs the tree with plow or harrow. "Keep the' cround well stirrnrt around the trees and allow no weeds or grass to grow, and your trees will grow and thrive. In case of severe drouth, mulch the ground around the trees two or three inches deon with aiiy material that vill keep theground tnoistv "I have a recipe given me by an old fruit grower from uttassachusetta, which I think is good for fruit trees, of all kinds :Take equal parts of wood ashes, clay and cow manure, mix into a wash with strong soap suds: put on the trunk and limbs of the' trees, with a brush, or cloth, in Juno anu j uiy .
