1t has been source OF regret and vex-
alton to agriculturalists, that their fruit
trees, especially The apple and the peach,
after bearing plentilulIy one season,
generally produce but little fruit the
next two or three succeeding years.
Conyersing few days ago with re-
spectacle and Intelligent farmer of New
Jersey, he remarked that it had been his
practice for many years to pluck, before
they had attained to a considerable size,
at least one half of his young peaches /;
"by which MEANS" says he, sc ] have
every season, fine though not abundant
produce" He also remarked, that he
had bestowed particular attention on ibis
subject, and that ii was his firm opinion,
corroborated by an experience of II
years, that the cause of tree not pro-
dncing much fruit alter an abundant
season, is simply this: the quantity OF
fruit which tree bears in plentiful
year, must necessarily exhaust the nour.
ishing substance of that tree which il al
forwards requires one, two, and orien
three years to recruit, before it can again
bear to any considerable amount.
The same gentlemen further obsery-
ed, that young apple tree should on
no account, be suffered TO bear largely {;
that if half the fruit is destroyed in its
green state. the FIRST three Or four years,
The tree will not only be harder but will
in afler-;ilne produce every year. A" By
suffering" says he, g and even forcing,
as many do, a young tree to bear large
ly, it inevitably follows that its constl,u-
lion will be weakened, and the tree will
be short lived but, by a contrary prac-
tice, It's consultation will be strengthened,
and the tree may bid fair 10 lyeto good

CORN,

SiR-Much has been said in your va
liable paper about the cutting of corn in
the fall. | have, for fifteen. years past,
cut mine eff, and shall continue 10 do SO.
When your corn viii bear the pulling of
iades and taking the tops, you may then
cut and put il on its huts, and as much
together as viii let il stand firmly in
cocks, keeping the lower part little
open to admit air. My system is to
lave no more cutters than have hands
10 follow and cock, as fast as it is cut
down. If your corn is late, and you fear
1t will be injured by frost, by placing it
in cocks il is secured against it. There
is less danger in Corn Storytelling,
managed in this way, than by pulling
your blades and taking the tops in the
usual mode. My.cogn is huskcd in the
field and the cocks doubled, and SO they
stand until fed away during the winter
and spiing-the quantity of feed for your
stock is more than doubled, and tue ma
rnre more than trebled-the whole is
carried out in April and May on my TO-
bacco lands, ard ploughed in and the
crop much improved by ii. My mode
Of feeding is to draw in as much into the
horse yard as will last the horses for the
night--in the morning the cattle so in
and are feeding through The day, much
the stalk is eaten--this is con,in,led as
long as the fodder lasts, and then we
feed our hay on the top. Straw ought
not TO be given to your stock in the same

My corn loft is fourteen fcci il WIDTH

On The Cukture Of Potatoes, and tie in

wooDvILLE, MAY l, 1872


Dear !Sir-Fiye or SIX years ago, l
made an experiment insraising the Irish
Potatoe, which each time succeeded SO
much better than my neighbors, that !
was induced in 1919, to reserve square
in my garden, OF So feet, TO ascertain the
quantity it made; (although an untavor-
able season for that crop) having planted
more than wanted for early use.
The potatoes were cut with as few
eyes as possible to each piece, and plant
ed in Novem6er from 4 to s inches apart
in nine. drills. The ground was ma
nured with three small tumbrii loads Of
smanure,s in the broad cast, previous to
spading. The drills were then opened
from 8 TO 10 inches deep, rather wider
than the spade, and half filled with stable
manure, after which the potatoes were
planted on this, and an additional quanti-
" ofthe same manure put on them until
The top Of the drills were made even
withthe surface of the square, pulling
the earth over so as TO elevate them q or
Is inches above the former surface. The
whole was then covered ] o or II inches
deep with wheat straw. No further cut
tivation is requisite, but should astew
large weeds find their way through the
straw, it would be advisable to draw them
out. The produce of the square was
slo bushels Of the finest potatoes, rsd--
