that there are six persons who pay over 5000

Be not in haste to plough or spade youl
garden. Generally there is not any thing
gained by casting seed into the ground, till
the earth is warm. Planting should al
ways take place as soon after the earth is
moved or turned by ploughing or spading,
as possible; because the movement occa-
sions fermentation, which is iudispensa-
BILE to the vegetation of seeds. Never move
the ground till it falls light, and crumblcs
easily OIL being turned. Be cautions, too,
how you SOW or plant seeds soon after a
rain, whilst the ground is wet and clammy.
The earth then is pressed like mortar about
the seed which confines it from the air and,
as it becomes hard, makes it difficult for the
infant plan: to penetrate it.

BY letters received in this city from Fort

and that in consequence of the similarity OF

which was cut under permits, and it was the

the boom till the arrival of the Land Agent
