Planting Trees in the Fall. —The
question as to whether the spring or
fall is the better season for planting has
been much discussed, and the conclu
sion reached has generally been that
in Western New York, and similar
climates, one is about as good as the
other. A correspondent of the Ameri
can Rural Home writes:
“My experience with hardy fruit and
deciduious ornamental trees is in favor
of fall. It is true that we have an oc
casional severe winter when fall planted
trees suffer, but these are of rare occur
rence. Last fall, quite late after the
season was all over, I planted several
bundled dwarf pear trees. After plant
ing, the earth was drawn up around the
base, say six or more inches above the
level of the ground, to give protection
to the roots and stiffen the tree against
the force of the wind. May 22, I had
the earth around the trees removed
to the ground level, and find vigorous
new roots, three to/ive inches in length,
spreading in all directions from the
quince stock. The tops are also push
ing rajiidly, and in the whole planting of
300 trees there is not a failure.
“It is easy to see what an advantage
these trees have under those planned this
spring, even over the most favorable
circumstances for the latter. In
spring planting it often happens that a
long period of cold weather and drying
winds follow the planting, and the trees
get seriously dried before the grow
ing season opens, or a dry and warm
period comes before the roots have ac
quired vigor enough to sustain the trees
under such adverse influence they either
die or linger along feebly all summer
We must take some risk in planting at
any season, but, on the whole, I think
the chances are in favor of the fall for
hardy deciduous trees.”
Let Each Farmer Grow His Own Bread.
—Wheat is the great universal food of
mankind. There are many sections
where it is grown at a great profit.
Wheat and corn sustain the same rela
tion to Western crops that cotton does
to those of the South. Yet every one
can find time to prepare a few acres
and sow in wheat, and every Southern
farmer, especially, ought to seek to
grow wheat for his own bread. Then
whether the grain be high or low, or
scarce or abundant, he will be inde
pendent of circumstances on the bread
qestion. Now is the time to prepare
wheat land. The soil ought to be
well and deeply plowed, and thorough
ly pulverized, and the seed wffll se
lected, fully ripened and carefully
cleaned. Then put the seed in strong
brine so that the smut balls and imper
fect grains may be skimmed off. Let
the grain then be dusted with plaster:
or powdered bluestone, or also a solu
tion made of one pound of bluestone
to a gallon of water, may be made into
which two bushels of seed may be
stirred—this quantity being sufficient
for an acre sown broadcast. Wheat
demands a liberal supply of nitrogen ;
if that is not already in the land it
must be supplied. This will be furn
ished by an application of 100 lbs
Peruvian guano, 2001bs. bone dust
and a bushel each of plaster and salt.
Seed thus sown will seldom fail to re
ward the labors of the husbandman.
Corn Smut Poisonous.- In cornfields this
year there appears to be an unusual
prevalence of dark or blue-back spougy
fnngus known as “corn smut.” It is
known among scientists as “ustilago
maydis.” In one volume of appletion’s
International Scientific series the gen
eral characteristics and mode of reproduc
tiou of this, as well as other Fungi, are
fully and elaborately treated. All
verterinarians contend that “corn smut’
is poisonous when eaten by stock in any
considerable quantity, and the experi
ence of many farmers, who have al
lowed their stock to eat it, proves their
opinion to be founded in fact. Hence
great care should be exercised when
gathering corn, to put out of the
way or utterly destroy the corn on
which this poisonous fungus has grown.
In this way the life of many valuable
animals may be saved. Gather the
“corn-smut” and either burn or bury it
out of sight, where it will decay. Per
haps burying is the best.
Is the Corn-Moth a Southerner.—
The corn-moth, a distinctive little worm
has been found in the Government case
at the Centennial, wherein over a hund
red different sorts of corn, grown in the
Unitea are on exhibition. The
tease is represented 2 s quite full of them
-and their work is said to be wonderfully
•.destructive. The .same insect had previ
•ously been found in the Brazilian ex
hibit. For some undefined reason cer
tain papers have assumed that the
corn moth is the product of the South
ern States. If so, says the Southern
Farmer, we have yet to be informed
of the fact. We hope the entomolo
gists will soon tell us all about the corn
moth. and if our readers are acquainted
with the insect, we should r be pleased
to bear from them on the subject. If
it be true that the corn moth is a South
erner, we cannot learn too soon the way
in which he operates, and the best means
of arresting bis progress.
Here are five short rules that if well
worked up will make farming one of the
most attractive pursuits that was ever
known:
1. Do not over crop yourself; or in
other words, do not undertake more
than you can accomplish with ease.
2. Have a regular system in all you
do, and do everything with a clear un
derstanding as to the result and effect.
3. Keep your land well up to a good
standard by properly fertilizing and a
judicious rotation of proper crops.
4. Keep none but good stock, and see
to it that said stock is kept in good con
dition.
5. Take good papers, together with
new standard farm books written by
practical men who deal only in facts.
