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. r V EI i EGR APHIC. \V \SIII.\UTO.\ \KIVS.

Matters of law as well of removals and ap pointments, would be referred to the proper departments for action. The Evening Express says ; It is said that General (kmby i> preparing a report to the President, piicliiug into the political, moral and social status of Virginia generally, and charging the people with hindering recon struction, and l>eing secretly hostile to the Congressional policy. -V private letter, dated Madrid, from an authoritative source, states that Sickles of fered the I'nited States as mediator betwiH'ii Spain and Cuba; the proposition being the abolition of slavery, aud the payment to Spain by the Cubans for the forts, public build ings. etc. While Spain does not refuse mediation, there are serious obstacles in the way of accommodation. The impression among many Spanish statesmen is. however, that Cuba must eventually pass from Span ish control, it is stated that Spain demands, as a preliminary, that the Cubans lay down their arms, which, it is ascertained, the Cu bans will not do, they having no guarantee of protection from the volunteer , who, it is stated, aim at absolute control of the island, and have a secret organization to that end. A special to the Times makes Grant say to tin* Senter delegation from Tennessee that he recognized Mr. Senter as a Republican and considered that the Republicans who voted for him still belong to the Republican party, and in addition to that he would not remove from office any federal official r.i the State for having thrown 'the‘weight of his position aud personal influence against Mr. Stokes.

September 4.— The following is 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.

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. iTttff'AßEi) nr Dlt. J. €. AYE It & CO. LOWELL, MASS.
