• Setting out Trees.
A correspondent of the Portland
'Press says on this subject: The
trees for aetting should not be more
than two years from the grafting
and three or four from seed. The
advantages of using these small
trees are several. It is less work
to set therm They can be removed
from the nursery without injury to
roots if done with care. Their
growth will be but little retardeclby
transplanting. Very few will con-
sequently be lost After trans-
planting, the trees should be mulch-
ed with hay, straw, breaks, leaves,
muck or sonaething of the kind.
To promote the growth of the tree;
the ground should be cultivated and
manurecl yearly until the trees
commence bearing. Then it may
be laid down to grass and sheep
pastured there. The mulching of
the trees should be continued from
the time of planting as long as the
trees continue to produce fruit. The
mulching should extend as far as
the limbs of the tree extend. Ashes
are one of the very best fertilizers
for trees, and should be freely used.'
da, Fortune from. the Cranberry.
A few years ago, a successful
merchant of Chicago, Mr. Sackett, -
well known .for enterprise,_ generos-
ity awl also a speculative. tern of
mind, was induced by two friends
of his to try, an investment with
them in the purchase of Western
lands, with a view to prospective
increase in price. Each was to
furnish an equal share toward the
enterprise. More as an accOrnocla-
tion to them than regard for the
profit, he consented, and furnishing
his part, they went west to make
the purchase, while he remained at
his businesS in Chicago. Now,
these enterprising friends of his
found that they could buy up a
large tract of land near Berlin,
Wis., very low, by including in it a
portion of worthless swamp. They
closed the trade, and in making the
division among themselyes, they
took each a third of the fine land,
and Ieft the mud and water for Mr.
Sackett, who had, never seen the
land, and accepted the clivisien on
faith in his friends, And fer sorne
time he continued to pay the taxes,
until he failed in business ; and
thinking to realize on the sale of it,
he went west for that purpose, when
to hia dismay he found that, far
from being able to sell it he 'ld

left him the worthless, he Wandered
over the swamp he almost disdained
to call hie own, and splashed through
its mud and water in desperate hope-
lessness. Poverty and want stared
hira in the face, when lo I something
else stared him in the face too. He
found something on his land ! What
was it? ,It was not California gold,
nor South Africa diamonds; neither
was it oil, iron, or coal. It Was
wild granberries. Presto, change
Now mark the result. That land
is worth ,$800 per acre, and he
is worth half a million dollars.
He was a shrewd man with an
eye to business, and he sa w at
once a fortune in these cranber-
ries, and went to work to riteilize it
by cultivation and systematic labor,
and he has a regularly trained bri-
gadeof children and hands to pick
and prepare the cranberries for mar-
ket, for which he realizes as high as
$24 per barrel; while the men who -
intended to play a joke on him now
mourn over their own unvaluable
land, and sigh for the fortune their
joking lost them.----Arew York Inde-

Sound Sense about Boys.
Brink up a boy on a farm until
he is one and twenty, giving him
suitable education and -privileges,
and nine times out of ten he will
like _the business through life. At
times he may desire to leave when
he see i other boys riding on an ex-
press wagon, or standing in a grocery
waiting upon customers ; but when
he comes out of hieguardianship he
will have the habit of nature's no-
blest employment so- fixed that he
will not desire to get off on a tangent
of rash speculation, but will look
out a discreet helpmate and settle.
Then he will use his -capital—
whether-of dollars given by a well-
to-do father, or of a good moral
character, that he can use instead of
dollars—to purchase a farm, go to
work to make _himself comfortable,
raise up a family, pay for his farm,
and with the help of his wife will
rise in the world above his boyhood
• companions who Ile& from the

and to society in a whirpool of ex-
citement among the thousand and

Stock Sales in England.
DUNMORE PARK SALE OF SHORT-
HORNS.
In the Irish, .Farmers' Gazette of
of the 146 ult., we find the report
of the sale of the chief part of the
Earl of Dunmore's herd of Short-
horns. Fifty-four animals in all—
bulls, cows and heifers --were sold,
realizing an average price of more
than one thousand dollars per head,
being the highest average on record.
Among the list of rurchasers we do
not recognize the names of any
Americans, although it is not im-
probable that Mr. Cochrane and
others may have had authorized
agents there to pick up some of the
beauties of this celebrated herd.
SHEEP SALES AND LETTINGS.
Anton& the sheep sales and let-
tings of the season in England, we
particularly notice that of Mr. Rig -
don's Southdo erns, at Hove. The
prices made Were unusually high,
100 ewes having been sold for £520,
and 16 rams bringing £344—an
average for. the 'latter of over £21
100s., say $.107: 50 each. Ten mins
were also let, realizing £310 in the
aggregate—the highest price made
90 guineas! Mr. Kirkham, Bisco-
thorpe, also sold Lincolnshires as
follows :-68 shearlinm rams aver-
aging over .£27 each ; 52 rams of
other: ages were offered, and the
average per head on the whole 120
was £25 1 is., a vety high figure for
so large a number.

In May, 1871,1 caused the business at 80 Menem -
Lane, New -York, for the sale of Holloway's Pills
and Ointment, which 'were up to that time pre-
pared by Willitun. Brown, now deceased, to be
closed. I regret to say that I have reason to
know that the management of the late business
had for some years, in many 'ways been most cor-
rupt, and it may be that the Pille and Ointment
were not prepared with' the care I have (dews de-
sired. Those who do not wish to be deceived by
baying spurious medicines, which are now likely to
emanate from the States or elsewhere, to possess
themselves of the genuine Holloway's Pills and
Ointment, manufactured by tate in London, Eng-
land, will do well to see that each pot and box
bears the British Government stamp, on which is
engraved the words, " Helloway's Pills -and Ointe-
mont, and that the address on the label is 583,
Oxford -street, London, -where only they are manu-
factured, and in no other part of the world. The -
retail prices are on the labels in British currency,
-and not in dollars and cents. No representative
of mine will over travel through any pert of the
British Provinces or the United States either tee
sell or to take orders for my Pills and States,
and as I have reason. to believe that attempts will
probably be made to deceive the public in -th18 way
by persons caning upon medicine vendors, falsely
repreuenting thet they are acting for me and. With
my knowledge and consent, I deem it advisalde to

ceptions. I most earnestly entreat all those who

in my name, he be pleased to send nut all the par-
tioulars he can collect respecting the same, that Is

Should any person bone reason to 'believe that he-

a letter to the address at foot (which he can do at
a cost olf six cents in postage), one of the books of'

ise to examine it mamma a reply, stating whether
