These are showy plants with curious but 
pleasing flowers with acorn-like centers and 
drooping petals. They are about eighteen 
PEI 
,si a 
forests and shade trees. 
I have always believed that trees were, and 
were meant to be, prominent features on the 
face of Nature, Their exquisite beauty, grace 
and symmetry, their wonderful organism, their 
large beneficence, stamp their value, and Com¬ 
mend them to otir profound and grateful regards. 
A sensitive or sensible nature sickens at the deso¬ 
lation wrought in our forests, without reason and 
without excuse, during the last fifty years. This 
vandalism becomes not a blunder , but a crime, 
when we think of the poor who shiver over costly 
embers, in desolate and dilapidated habitations, 
for the want of the fuel and timber which ought 
to have beeu economized as a sacred trust, hut 
which we made it our chief business to destroy. 
A narrow strip of native forest bordered with 
evergreens, besides paying its way by the growth 
of timber, would in all exposed localities greatly 
benefit animals and growing crops. There is 
reason to believe that a country one-fourth forest, 
properly disposed, will in the end produce more 
than the entire surface cleared of trees. The 
most essential point in the management of for¬ 
ests is to keep out cattle, and especially sheep, 
till a thick undergrowth is secured, high enough 
to escape injury; thin with a bush 6ythe to the 
number that can muke a healthy growth—after 
this cattle may he admitted. In about twenty- 
five years cut it off clean fur wood, and let it 
grow up again, but do not cut it all at the same 
time. 
Shade Trees. —Let the door-yards, pastures 
and roads he supplied with them—mostly of the 
varieties native to the soil. Let them be pro¬ 
tected. Let every Christian man consider it his 
duty to go half a mile rather than hitch his horse 
to a shade tree, unless it is a very large one. 
Unchristian men perhaps deserve to be sent 6till 
further. 
What I particularly wish to say is, that shade 
trees require pruning or shaping during tho fall 
or winter at the different stages of their growth 
—or, what is still better, pinch back in spring 
or summer the shoots that are making »u over¬ 
growth, and remove those that aro out of place. 
Scarce any one pretends to do this. If a shade 
tree is symmetrical it is in spite of cattle, and 
men and the winds let loose upon it, and with¬ 
out any help from skillful hands. A rampant 
shoot projects unduly, taking the sap, and dwarf¬ 
ing others that ought to be encouraged. The 
wind sways the top to one sideby the removal 
of branches the equilibrium might be restored. 
In general the branches should he encouraged 
to come out low, but a vigorous growing tree, 
capable of sustaining a large top, should occa¬ 
sionally present a long, branchless trunk;—in 
this way magn\llcence is attained. Where there 
arc two Or more leading shoots, the tree becomes 
crotched, which frequently impairs its beauty, 
and endangers its existence by splitting. By a 
timely removal this may be prevented, and one 
continuous stem or trunk secured with branches 
all in due proportion. Of course some variety 
in forms Is desirable, but the top should be bal¬ 
anced , and if the branches are long and drooping, 
they contrast admirably with tho rugged oak, 
the precise hickory, and tbe decorous maple. 
Do not forget that the growth of shade trees 
may be helped by mulching and jndicious culti¬ 
vation. Care for them, for the best specimens 
are above all price.— h. t. b. 
SETTING OUT MAPLE ORCHARDS. 
It may seem strange that any one, at this late 
day, should advise the sottiug out of maple 
orchards with a view of making sugar from 
them. So people argued thirty or forty years 
ago about setting out fruit orchards—they should 
never live to eat the fruit thereof. But many 
have lived to enjoy the fruits of their labors, and 
more attention is now given to setting out forest 
trees than ever before. In like manner a maple 
orchard may be obtained in from fifteen to twenty 
years from tbe time of setting, which will pro¬ 
duce sngar enough for any family, and at the 
same time he an ornament which would he 
worth a thousand dollars to any homestead. 
Now is the proper time to set out such an 
orchard; or, what would be better, to prepare 
the trees and ground for setting another year. 
Go to the forest and select trees, if possible of a 
second growth, and which have stood out of the 
shade of the forest. Cut off nearly the entire 
top at a distance of about ten feet, and with an 
old ax cut a circle around the roots, of at least 
eighteen inches from the trunk of the tree. Let 
them staud in this condition one year, and innu¬ 
merable fibers will be found to have started from 
the roots, and many sprouts from the trunk. 
Two years at least will thus he gained in the 
growth of the trees. With ground properly 
prepared, and careful attention to their future 
growth, you will soon have a grove of which 
you will be proud, and for which tnturo genera¬ 
tions will rise up and bless you. Care should 
be taken not to set the trees more than two or 
three inches deeper than they grew in their 
natural state. J. S, Tibbets. 
Rochester. April, 1867. 
CRANBERRY CULTURE. 
The following observations by Nathan 
Bbigqs, in the Barnstable (Mass.) Patriot, will 
be found to answer most of the inquiries which 
have recently been made of us in regard to the 
cultivation of this fruit: 
77te location. —First, cranberries will grow on 
high, moist laud, and sometimes produce well, 
but their proper place is low aud springy, or 
wet land. The best place, however, is a peat¬ 
bog and swamp muck. 
Preparation of the Ground. — First, make the 
surface of your ground as even as possible, and 
nearly level, with a slight inclination 
towards a draiD, if you have one, in 
order that it may be easily flowed, 
and no pond3 remain after drawing 
off tbe water. This may be done with 
any material. There should then he 
put on this level surface about four 
inches in thickness of swamp muck 
or peat, which should be again cov¬ 
ered with about three inches in depth fS^t? 
of locme sand, free tVom grass or its 
fibers, and also from clay or stones. 
It is not important what the color or 
quality of the sand, if it be not ad- 
hesive, and is free from roots and 
grass. Clay is not good. 
Time of Planting, —From the first 
of April to the middle of June—on 
wet ground, continuing through the 
summer to plant, if convenient, and — 
as it is wished. In dry land those 
planted in summer sometimes fail on 
account of drouth and heat. Those 
set late lose a year’s growth, arid 
may as well be set in spring, if the —‘ - 
land be not too wet. 
Manner of Planting. — Tbe form of 
planting which has resulted in the 
most rapid advancement of growth 
and production, is to scatter whole vines upon 
a mud or peat surface; then press them into 
the mud with your foot, and scatter over them 
light Band, about one inch in depth. Patches 
planted in this manner seem to be a year ahead 
of those planted in the ordinary way. The 
general plan, however, is to set them in hills 
about eighteen inches apart. Take a pointed 
stick, say four inches in thickness, through 
which at right inches from the point insert a 
gauge rod eighteen inches long, which serves to 
govern the distance from one hill to another. 
With this pointed stick puncture the ground in 
uniform rows. Insert into these holes a small 
handful of vines, and press the anid around and 
among them, spreading them ubout as much as 
need he. 
Quality of Fi'/u*. — Vines should be procured 
from meadows which have borne well, and of 
good fruit, as tho best way of knowing good 
bearers. There are several species, such os egg- 
shaped, hell-shaped, and cherry-shaped. The 
former are most approved, and are 6aid to be 
four or five weeks earlier. 
Cultivation .—The crauberry needs little culti¬ 
vation. Having your land properly prepared as 
before stated, and properly ditebed, and clear of 
roots and grass, it may require the first year a 
little hoeing among the vincB. After the first 
year, it would be likely to do as much injury as 
benefit, by disturbing tbe young fibers, which 
are now thickly set. It is better after this, to 
pluck the weeds by hand, put them in a basket 
and carry them off. After the second year, let 
them alone. The third year yo'a will get a fair 
erop, the fourth will probably be the best. It is 
not yet ascertained how many years they may do 
well. Fair bearing is considered one bushel to 
a rod; there have been Instances of one barrel to 
the rod. Rushes, and bunches of weeds and 
grass may at any time be cut out. 
Flowing .—Flowing is not absolutely necessary. 
More than half the meadows which I saw were 
not fiowable. If llowable, the water may remain 
on all winter, and let off In March. It should be 
let on about the 20th to 25lh of May, and again 
the 1st of June, for not exceeding thirty-Bix 
hours; after this it is not needful. Blossoms 
are injured by the water remaining on too long, 
the object of which is to destroy the insects. 
After the second flowing there is little to fear 
from them. Tho grade of the land and the 
ditching should be so arranged as to easily flood 
or clear the surface, and the sides of your drains 
should slope to an angle of forty-five degrees or 
more, in order to tlioir permanence and utility; 
the number, arrangement and size being directed 
by good judgment. 
DESIRABLE FLOWERS. 
CANNA. 
inches in height, and should he treated as half- 
hardy auuuals. 
“ Cannas are stately plants,” says Vick, in his 
Catalogue, “and highly ornamental; will flower 
the first season if plants are raised early in a hot¬ 
bed, so that they are strong at the time of setting 
out in the garden. The foliage is very beautiful; 
[lowers mostly scarlet. The next autumn the 
roots may be taken up and kept in the cellar, In 
sand, to be planted out tho following spring. 
They should be planted iu beds or groups, and 
nothing makes a richer bed or lawn. Unless the 
plants are Btrong when set out, they will not 
produce much effect the first year. Soak the 
seed well in hot water before planting. They 
mako flue decorations for houses, halls and the 
like, when grown in pots.

patentee, Mr. J. B. Rn'«J.q of Orleans Co., which Is 
designed for use aruoq small orchard or nursery

of a wheel to the end olthe whiffletreo next the row 
of trees. The rim or this wheel is banded with 
rubber, and when It cjnes in contact with a tree 
the whiflletree Is earriec by it without any injury to
