MtRdo Trees on 1he I'mlrles.
With nil lh natural lonuty of tho 1'rai

imwirtt n hnUrr to the lrh'Mr-r; nnl
umVr ih biirniiiff sun of July the oppo

ftiinti.
With projwr coro aim rorrtlmulil in

be has been instrumental in imparting to
his fellow neighbors. Thoro ore a variety
of fast growing shade tnvs vuitahlo to fill
tho great blank around lha many farm
houses ot Uie pinnies.
Hut all need not wait fur tlio trees to U
planted and grown in tho nnrsgrv. There
are thiiunamls of nntho trees ot lartro xio
upon tho borders of the. streams, and in
tho wood-skirts that may bo removed wiih
the most perfect snect , if dud caru is
only taken in tho oporatimi.- We have
removed trees twenty fort hih and eight
inches in diameter and hardly lust 5 per
cent of them, by tho removal. I ho pro-
nor Reason is now nnnroaiiUHir. mid wo
will rive tho noeesjary directions.
If the tree to bo removed w large, say
from four to six inohfs in dintiiitir, a
Irenrh of from eighteen im hes to two feet
should bo dug from tho body, all nroiiw
thn true, wivinff tht) earth nloi t tho routs
entire, except on the top it iiiuy bu thrown
nfl'to iho surface of the roots. Cut oil' tho
roots that como within tho trench, leaving
iho ends smooth and clear, let the tree
etnnd until the ball of earth around it has
beeamo bo firmly frozen that it may he
handled without breaking. The boles to
receivo the trees bhould also be prepared
nd the richest parts of tho earth that is
thrown out should be laid in a com put t pile
and covered with stalks or straw to pre-
rent it from being frozen when wanted to
nil in around tho tree. 1 o remove tiie
tree the tap roots must be cut, leaving the
ball of earth os larce as can conveniently
be handled, or according to tho size of the
tree. With a ropo secured nenr th top,
the tree may be pulled over upon the foro
axel and wheels of a wagon, i r a com
mon slide (sled) and hauled to tho place
whero it is to bo planted. Curo tdiotild
be taken to bind the body of the tree with
Btraw or corn stalks, where it comes in
contact with tho sled or axloof tho wagon
so as not to Iruiso tho bark.
Bcfor tho tree is set, its branches shout
be thinned and shortened, in proportion to
the loss of the roots, in tho act of removal.
Care should be taken to cut and thin out
tho branches eo ns to leave a well balanced
head, and to shorten them according to the
size of the tree, from three to five feet
from Uie stem and not according to the
absurd practice of some by ouitHig every
thing close to tho body of the tree, leaviut
it as bare as a bean-polo, without und eye
or a bud to furnish a leaf. A tree to grow
with certainty, whon removed, requires
proper number of vigorous buds, which are
as essential to its growth as a due portion
of roots.
These bints are worth remembering
and may be practised upon during the
winter months and even as late as March,
should the weather be freezing. Valley

"To Improve the Soil and Mind."
Fattening Swine.
The period when fanners pen their
swine is now at hand, and a few words
thereon will have at least the feature of
appropriateness.
I he first requirement to success in tins
department of farm economy is a good
anatomical structure on which to build the
flesh. Razor breeds shave their owners
and the community at large. Long-legged
slab-sided animals may answer for the
(Hirpose of 'mating good time' on the way
o the trough, but for lilliug pork barrels
they are totally inadequate.
If a farmer has no other cribs in which
to place his corn, two or three pigs of this
description w ill allay any anxiety on that
score. Furthermore the only ears to
which a hoii bhould run, aro ears of corn,
these appendages inav irive to the donkey
a grave look -but on a pig ! Goxxi breeders

. Having . briefly stated what we do not
want, we may as well give our beau ideal
there is a beau ideal in ihtform of a jig
-and we doubt not it would be an object
of as intense interest, when well portrayed
by the brush or the chisel, as anything in
the tucher walks of art.
First, swine should bo small boned and
compact; the back uniformly broad and
rounded along the whole body. The
touch on the back firm but springy ; legs
short; loin and breast broad ; neck short,
thick and deep ; cheeks rounded and well
filled out; face not dishing but straight;
nose fine eyes bright ; ears well set,
thin and soft to touch ; head small in pro
portion to body.
This is a description when fat and can
only be manufactured by getting the right
material to constmct it with. Get a pig
of this formation cill the breed what you
like uuJ you will have profitable porkers.
The pig is omniverous will eat any
thing and everything that is edible. Regu
larity is the prime object. Give them
their meals at stated periods not fill them
one day and starve them the next.
We have read of those who followed
the last mentioned plan, but it was for a
purpose 0 'get a streak of lean and a
streak of fat,' and one thing their hearts
desired they got the lean streak. Jud
ment ought to be used in this matter. A
hog can squeal oil an ounce of fat in a
short time.

music may iudulge ' we'll none of iu'
