The cedar bushes to be planted on a lawn should never be taken from swampy ground, or from a place where they have been protected` from other growth,_ as the change of con- ditions will be so great that they will probably die. Before gathering the bushes, a trench should be dug of a suitable size, as~this enables one to get them transplanted more `quickly, as it is very important not to let the roots `be exposed to the iatmosphere. The bushes should be fplanted not less than eighteen inches apart. They should be carefully dug, and not pulled. A careless planter `will pull them up, but this so tears the roots that it is the cause of many dying`. I l I io+++++++++++++++++++ '4 , . `. Selected Recipes ;o+ooo++++o+++++3:] In planting the cedar, a single row of bushes is toybe preferred to "a double one, as they thrive better and grow more quickly, and soon become as thick and lusty as can be desired. In pruning the hedge, if the farmer! be equipped with a large p'air of hedge shears, that can be bought for a dollar, the work can be donel very easily, and at any time through-' out the summer. l Government would deal with the as- Premier Whitney stated that the! scssment act next session. ' ` In selecting the bushes to plant, i one should gather them of a uniform size, as this will be-a great advan- -tage in growing the . hedge. Of course, the larger the bushes the more quickly will the hedge develop. l If` there are no trees growing ina- turally around the farm buildings, no time should be lost instarting them. What can improve a place more than a ne row of maplesalong the front? w.hile a- row of evergreens on the_ _exposed -sides of a dwelling is always much appreciated.` The spruce or cedar may be planted in May or car- ly in November, as they are then well settfor the rst growth in the spring. Great care should be taken to protect the "roots from exposure to the atmosphere, as this will very quickly kill the tree. 1'vIucAh. attention and care should be taken inplanting. The roots should be carefully spread out in their natural position, and some ne rich soil should be well worked in among the -brous ones, for it is through themtthat the tree or shrub is to be fed,"and, if the planting is carelessly done`, .and an air-space left among the roots, the! tiny bres cannot nd nourishment` enough, and consequently the tree will die. 1 After the tree is planted, it should be well mulched and watered, if pos- `sible, with rain water. Each tree ;should be supported by being attach- i ed to a` stake driven into the ground, yas this holds it in its place, so that ithe winds during the `first summer s igrowth cannot blow it about. A }good_ plan it to tear some old sacks `into stripes, drive a stake on each side of the tree, and then tie". the stakes and tree together. The wide piece of material, such as the strips of sack, is preferred, because, in rub- bing the tree, it will not injure the bark_ As regards the hedge, the cedar makes a much better one than the spruce, as it is likely to ll out better! and make a more uniform growth. The hedge should be planted as ear- ly in the spring as possible, so that it may benet from the spring rains and receive all the spring growth. The hedge, like the trees, should be well watered, and, during the! rst summer, if :1 drouth occurs,i both should be frequently watered, as it will pay better to lose a little time watering them than to have them die for the need of a drink, and have all the trouble of planting for nothing. Then there are the owerbeds andl ornamental trees to be considered, which help much to beautify a lawn. Of course, if a farmer isadetermined to have his farm stock around his door, as is seen so often, there will be little use in his trying to have much shrubbery, as a cedar hedge is! a poor thing upon which to turn cattle or horses. But if he be anx-l ious to improve the surroundings of` his home, with a little exertion, he "can easily do so.--W. Op. Throop inl Farmer s Advocate. l and, even, if the pecuniary side of the question were not considered, the pleasure and satisfaction derived would be sufficient.
