Sale of Plants.—

Potato Disease in Canada.—We regret to hear that in
many places in the neighbourhood of the city the potato
blight has again appeared. We have seen evidence of it
in the vicinity of the River St. Charles, and a farmer
from there informed us to-day that he had inquired of
several farmers from Jacques Cartier and Valcartier, who
strte that the blight has also there appeared.—Quebec
Mercury.
Live Fences for Enclosures.—lt is no easy matter,

though very desirable, to be able to enclose land quickly
and effectually. Some persons for this purpose use single
stems, 4 or 5 feet high, placed crosswise, inclining from

right to left and from left to right alternately ; the plan is
however not a good one as the plants grow irregularly,
and the branches sometimes die and leave spaces very
difficult to fill up : in order that this plan may succeed,
the shoots should be interlaced as the plantation proceeds.
Another plan is to make a double hedge ; this, however, is
objectionable. It often happens that the two lines of
plants, though very close, will not grow the one amongst
the other, but leave a space between them which destroys
the solidity of the whole. Besides, no air circulating in
this hollow, the young branches die and leave a sort of
passage between the two hedges. To avoid these incon-
veniences I have adopted the following plan, and with great
success. A trench a yard wide, and little more than half
a yard deep, is dug round the place to be enclosed. The
earth removed by digging to the depth of one spade is put
on the right bank, together with the turf from the surface
previously placed there ; the earth removed after this is
thrown on the other bank : into the bottom of this trench
is then thrown all the earth thrown up by the first, and
some of that thrown up by the second digging, and the
level of the plantation is obtained by means of the turf be-
fore mentioned. In the middle of this trench a cord is then
stretched and kept in its place by stakes driven into the
ground every ten yards. The planting is then begun.
The plants about three years old, and not quite feet
high, are placed on the turf which is introduced among the
roots. The latter are then covered with earth, on the top
of which is lightly placed some well-worked dung, and the
whole is then filled in with the earth remaining on the
left bank. The plantation is in the course of the first
year dug as much as necessary, and in the autumn rather
deeply, not however so as to disturb the layer of dung
already spoken of. The second year the same operations
are performed, and the plants may be pruned. In the
third year, and not before, the plants are cut down to the
height of 3 feet. In the fourth year the hedge is formed,
and may be pruned first in June and again in September.
By this time the hedge will be a much better protection
than those planted in the common way are at the end of
eight or ten years. It must not be supposed that the
above method of procedure is costly. My hedge kept in
good order costs no more than an ordinary one badly
kept up. The earth being well arranged works easily ;
and the pruning being performed twice a year, takes very
little time, as there is no hard wood to, cut.—Revue Hor-
ticole.
