When DsulticaUlis are growing too close
together, the sun and air cannot penetrate
their foliage, and hence the wood does not
rlpen well. 1t is a good plan, therefore, to
plant them at least three feet apart each
way, il they are 10 be transpianied 10 the
fall, and if to remain ne, uanent. four feet
one way and six the other. / attribute
mnch Of the loss by winter killing to this
close planting, and believe that The grower
will realize more by giving them the dis
lance above stated, than he will by putting
double the number Of trees upon the ground:
because although he will have but half the
number Of trees, they will be worth more
than double those planted closely, in con-
sequence of their larger size and more ma
tnre wood. At three feet apart each way
an acre Of ground contains 1900 trees at
eighteen inches one way and three feet the
other, $500; and at one foot apart in the
row and the rows three feet apart, l4,7OO:
allowing the ground to be square, as there
will be one row Of trees more than there
are rows Of square yards, in consequence
ofthe rows on each side occupying the out
side of a square. For example, two rows
of trees three feet apart each way, may be
put upon piece ofgreund three feet wide.
Lime your Orchards.-The effect Of
lime on orchards and ON grounds in which
fruit trees arc planted, is said to be very
beneficial; it improves their health and
promotes their growth, and is said to i'm
prove the quality Of the fruit. The food
or pasture of the orchard is increased in
quantity, and improved IN quality by the
application, and is doubtless an important
agent in destroying the grubs and worms
which are so destructive to fruit trees by
the wounds which they inflict, as we'll ON
the tender absorbent fibres of the roots, as
ON the branches and trunk.
The good effect of lime on apple and
peach trees, are perceptible in short
time, and it is believed eqnal benefit will
be derived from its application by an other
kinds of fruit trees. 6i

A NEW GRETEA GREEN.-The Buffalo Commercial
Advertiser says Buffalo is becoming tho Gretna
Green Of the Canadas. Scarcely a day passes but
that some Canadian lad takes his fair Dulcinea, and
trips it over the border to consumma.e in our city the
rites that make them twain one flesh. This arises,
we presume not from the fact that runaway matches
become necessary to avoid parental injustice or inter-
ference, but to escape heavy tariff upon matrimo-
