Planting fruit Trees.
From the New England Farmer.
Right planting is the foundation and cor
ner stone of all successful horticulture* it is
one of the fundamental principles that pro
duce vigorous trees uud abundance of»fruit.
More than one-half of all the fruit‘trees
planted in this country die, or fail to vield
Iriiit, for the simple reason that they are not
properly cared for. Fruit culture means
more than leaving a tree to take care of it-
self. It demands care, watchfulness, pa
tience, hard work, strong effort, and above
all, intelligence and forethought.
Plant young trees, both in your orchards
ami gardens. They cost less in actual price,
in freight and in planting, than older trees.
They are surer to grow*, have more and bet
ter librons roots, and will adapt themselves
quicker to the soil and location. With equal
watching and care they will grow so vigor
ously as to excel older trees, in abundance
of fruit, size anil health. Never choose
standard apples, plums or cherries, more
than two years old, and dwarf trees one year
old.
lie careful in your choice of soils. A sandv
soil is leachy, contains no moisture, and is
liable to drought. Avery heavy, clayey soil
is directly the opposite, being too wet, tough
and adhesive. Few or no fruit trees do well
in either. A gravelly soil is hardly more de
sirable. A deep loomy or alluvial soil may
always form a good choice.
\\ lieu you are ready to plant, plow with
a subsoil plow - as deep as possible a strip
six feet or more wide; then dig holes a foot
or eighteen inches deep, and about three
feet in diameter. Place tlie tree the same
depth it formerly stood; then replace the
earth, taking care not to bend or break the
rootlets of the tree, and always allow abund
ance of room for the growth of the roots.
Many inexperienced persons lose their
trees from too deep setting. No tree should
he set lower in the earth than its original
position. Where the ground lias not been
plowed and subsoiled, the planter must
invariably dig his holes two feet deep and
four or more wide.
Mix with the earth, before it is returned
to the hole and is placed around the roots
of the tree, a good compost of ashes, chip
manure, leaf mould, mack and lime. Let
a large portion of the compost be placed be
neath, hut not in contact with the root of
the tree, and the remainder on the surface
of the ground to act as a mulch. Thequan
tity will vary from a half bushel upwards,
according to the size of the tree. The effect
will be most marked, and the growth aston
ishing.
If any of the roots are mutilated or bruis
ed, pare them off with a sharp knife to pre
vent decay, cutting buck on the under side
until you reach sound wood.
Nearly all trees that come from the nurse
ries have lost some of their roots; conse
quently their branches should be shortened
in the same proportion. At. the time of
planting, prune all branches back to three
or lour buds from the base of each branch.
All large trees will require stakes; young
trees firmly set, will not. Mulching is al
most indispensable. The eartli should rise
like a small mound toward the trunk of the
tree, and over this should be a mulch two
inches deep of hay, half decomposed manure,
saw dust or tail bark. It not only saves the
labor of cultivation, but prevents the mois
ture of the soil from evaporating, renders
the temperature more uniform and prevents
injurious effects from frost. Tlie mulch
should extend beyond the tips of the roots.
Cultivate the ground carefully. Never al
low grain crops, nor root crops of an injuri
ous nature, to grow in the
allow grass nor weeds. The
manuring necessary for growing sofliHand
of judicious crop between the rows, as pota
toes, lieets, or turnips, will always prove a
benefit. If no crop is grown, go through
frequently with the cultivator or horse hoe
and stir the soil two or three inches deep.
A thorough stirring of the soil is nearly as
good as a coat of manure.
If trees are dried by too long carriage, they
may bo restored by immersion for a day or
two in water or thick mud. Use no 'water
in planting. It tends to bake and harden
the surface of the earth, and generally proves
injurious. Middling will supply all the mois
ture necessary.
Careful pruning is essential. ]ly careful
pruning is not meant cutting off large,
healthy, vigorous branches; hut it Joes
mean the cutting out of ail diseased branch
es or dead wood, and such smaller shoots
and branches as appear to prevent the free
access of sun and air to all parts of the head
of the tree.
If farmers would only cultivate their trees
as well as their corn, they would have little
occasion to utter complaints against poor
orchards or poor fruit.
Rots in Horses.
I cannot refrain from writing a few words
about hots, since reading what was published
in the Farmer of the 17th of July. I believe
hots can be removed from horses without
harming them in the least. First, give the
horse two quarts of now milk, sweetened
with one quart of molasses; second, fifteen
minutes alter, give the horse two quarts of
strong sage tea; third, twenty minutes after
giving the sage tea, give the horse three
pintslof currier’s oil. The hots fill themselves
with the milk and molasses aud become lazy,
the strong sage tea shrivels them up, and
the earner's oil, noting as a cathartic, carries
them from the stomach, when they pass
away from the horse. In giving the medi
cine put an open bridle on the horse, take
him inta the bam door, step upon a girt or
scaffold, draw the horse’s head gently over
the beam, holding up on the bridle, when
his lower j aw will drop; then iusert the neck
of a bottle, and pour the contents gently
down the horse. Do not gag,the horse or
pour the medicine into his nose. This is a
simple remedy, easily applied, and I hope
our Qaiduiek friend will try it and report
the results iu the Farmer. I have seen it
tested, and am convinced of its ellieaev.

that Cuba must eventually pass from Span

Attorney General Hoar’s opinion received this
morning by General Canby:
Attorney General’s Office, |
August 38, 1869. )
ro the Honorable John .1. Rawlins Secretary ot
IVitr —Si it : I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of July 37tli, 1869, in which
you request my opinion upon so much of the ques
tions submitted in the letter of the Commanding
General of the First Military District, dated the
10th inst, and accompanying paper.-, (copies of
which are inclosed), as refers to the legal qualifi
cations of officers to tie elected under the proposed
Constitution of th* State of Virginia, and especial
ly upon tiie quest «>n whether persons elected to
office in such State under said Constitution are re
quired by the Supplemental Reconstruction Act of
July 19;h, 1.867, to take uud subscribe to the oath
prescribed or referred to in section nine, of said
act before entering upon the duties oftheir respec
tive offices.
the latter question is the only one indicated
with such distinctiveness as to enable me to be
fully Satisfied that its purport is apprehended, and
1 therefore coniine my answer to that.
By the statute of April 10th, 1869, the registered
Hotel's of Virginia were authorized to vote on the
question of the adoption of a Constitution for the
State, and at the same time to elect officers under
it, subject to the approval of Congress. The vote
lia- been taken in pursuance of the provisions of
the act and the election held, and some parts of
tlir. Constitution submitted liave been adopted by
the people and others rejected. The parts of the
proposed Constitution thus adopted, if they shult
be approved by Congress, will be the Constitution
of \ irgiuia, under which all its officers will be re
quired to act. and the qualifications as well as the
duties oT these officers wdl be determined by it
when Virginia is restored to its proper relations to
tlie country as a Statu of the Union. Its officers
and Legislature will be such as the Constitution
of I lie State provides, deriving their powers from
that instrument, and it will clearly not be in the
power of Congress to impose any requirement of
additional qualifications upon them different from
those which, under the Constitution of tlie United
States, may be required in all the States.
If, therefore, any tests were to he imposed upon
memtters of the Legislature not provided by the
Constitution of Virginia, or any restriction im
posed upon tlie people of the State in their choice
of officers not recognized by it, and not made up
plii able under the legitimate powers of Congress
to all the States, the Legislature and officers would
not, in my opinion, be the Legislature and offi
cers of the State of Virginia under its Con
stitution. 1 do not see that Congress can
undertake to furnish the State with a suitable
Legislature to start with, or to exercise any con
trol over its composition which could not be exer
cised over subsequent Legislatures I am, there
fore, of opinion that the oath prescribed’ by the
statute of 1863, and by the statute of July 19th,
1867, chapter lid, section 9, required to be taken by
all persons elected or appointed to office in the
said military districts, under any so-called State or
municipal authority, is not to be required of the
new Constitution.
It does not seem to me that the provisions of
this 9;li section, which are applicable to the gov
ernment of tlie State under military authority,
w.-re intended to apply to the Legislature and tlie
officers under whom the State is to he restored to
its proper relations to the Union, and by whom the
government of tlie State is to be administered
after its restoration. This opinion is strongly con
firmed by a reference to the second section of the
same act. which authorizes the commander of any
district named in the act to suspend or remove
from office or from the performance of official
power, any officer or person holding or exercising,
or professing to hold or exercise any civil or miii
tarv office or duty in sai 1 district, under any pow
er. election, appointment or authority derived or
granted by or ciaitncd under any so-called Siate or
the government thereof, and to detail a competent
officer or soldier of the army to perform such
duties.
It would he impossible to suppose th it Congress
could intend that a Legislature, under the Consti
tution of a Slate, could hive its members appointed
by a de'ail from souliers of the army. Tuc only
reasonable ooncl isi n seem- to be that it was not
intended that any such Legistit.ire should be al
lowed to exist and act until reconstruction was
completed, except for the limited ami qualified
purposes requisite to reconstruction; but, on the
other hand, 1 fully concur with the view of the
General commanding in Virginia, that under the.
Reconstruction Acts of Cougrt ss, no ollieer or
Legislature is competent or should be permitted to
exercise any of the functions or power of his olliee
within that State, exe pt so far as those Acts them
selves provide, without taking the oath which is
referred to in the statute of 1367, above quoted.
Tbe act of April lOlh, IS'lit, requires the Legi-la
ture to meet at a time which it designates. Tuat
it is to meet implies that it is to coute together for
sotn ■ purpo-e. It Is required under the previous
law to act upon the question of adopting the fif
teenth amendment to the Constitution of the
United States before the admission of the State to
representation in Congress. lam of opinion,
therefore, that it may come together and organize
upon that amendment, but that until Cougress shall
have approved the Constitution, aud me action
under il shall have restored the State to its proper
place in the Union by recognizing its form of gov
ernment a* republican, and admitting it to repre
sentation, the Legislature is not entitled aud could
not, without violation oflaw, he allowed to trans
act any business, pass any act, or resolve, or un
dertake to assume any other function of Legisla
ture, if the test oath lias not been required of its
members, and that no officer elected under the
new Constitution can enter upon the duties of liis
office without taking the oatli while military gov
ernment continues.

F-STA REGULAR HABIT OF BODY is abso
lutely essential to physical health and clearness of
intellect. Nor is this all. Beauty of person can
not co-exist with an unnatural condition of tlie
bowels. A free passage of the refuse matter of the
system through these natural waste pipes is as
necessary to the purity of the body us the free
passage of the offal of a city through its sewers is
necessary to the health of its inhabitants.
Indigestion is tlie primary cause of most of tlie
diseases of the discharging organs, and one of its
most common results is Constipation. This com
plaint, besides being dangerous in itself, Ims many
disagreeable concomitants, such as an unpleasant
breath, a sallow skin, contaminated blood and
bile, hemorrhoids, headache, loss of memory, and
general debility.
llostetter’s Stomach Bitters remove all these
evils by removing their immediate cause in the di
gestive organs, and regulating tlie action of tlie
intestines. The combination of properties in
this celebrated preparation is one of its chief
merits. It is not merely a stimulant, or a tonic, or
ail anti-biiiou- agent, or a nervine, or a blood de
purent, or a cathartic, hut all these curative ele
ments judiciously’ blended ill one powerful restora
tive. It lends activity and vigor to the inert and
enervated stomach, relieves the alimentary canal
of its obstructions, and gives tone to the mem
brane which lines it, gently stimulates the liver,
braces the nerves, aud cheers the animal spirits.
No other remedy possesses such a variety of liy
gieuie virtues. It is to these characteristics that
it owes its prestige as a household medicine. Ex
perience lias proved that it is as harmless as it is
■efficacious, and hence it is as popular with the
w eaker sex as w ith the stronger.
llostetter’s Stomach Bitters is sold in bottles
only, and tlie trade-mark blown in the and
engraved on the label, with our steel engraved reve
nue stamp over the cork, is the test of genuineness.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
A compound remedy, designed to be tne most
effectual Alterative that can be made. It is
n concentrated extract of Para Sarsapnrilln,
so combined with other substances of still
greater alterative power as to afford an effec
tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is
reputed to cure. It is believed that such a
remedy is wanted by those who suffer from
Strumous complaints, and that one which will
accomplish their cure must prove of immense
service lo this large elass of ourafllicted fellow
citizens. llow completely this compound will
do it has been proven by experiment on many
of the worst cases to be found of the following
complaints:
ScKOIUI.A AND SCROFULOUS COMPLAINTS,
Eruptions and Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers,
Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Salt lliieum,
Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af
fections, Mercurial Disease, Dropsy, Neu
ralgia or Tic Douloureux, Debility, Dys
pepsia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Rose
or St. Anthony’s Eire, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from Impurity o*
the Blood _
This compound will be found a great pro
moter ot health, when taken in the spring, to
expel the foul humors which fester in the
blood at that season of the year. By the time
ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders
are nipped in the hud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sores, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
this through tin? natural channels of the body
by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the
blornl healthy, and all is well; hut with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can he no
lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and the gveat machinery of
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the
reputation of accomplishing these ends.' But
the world has been cgrcgiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone has not nil the virtue that is claimed
for it, hut more because many preparations,
pretending to he concentrated extracts of it,
contain hut little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During late years (he public nave been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sarsaparilla forotie dollar. Most
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any’, Sarsapa
rilla, hut often no curative properties whatev
er. Hence, hitter and painful disappointment'
has followed the use of the various extracts of
Sarsaparilla which Hood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the
name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible
by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure. In order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
lie judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle.

prefer. Or again, if they desire to do so, they can,
as hitherto, pursue a Mixed Course of study, and
