a strong similarity to the one now in ope-
rationunder the revised statutes Of the state
OF New York, and is probably chiefly CO.
pied from the laws Of that state. Our on
y regret is, that the new system If adopt
ed, cannot go into effect until one year from
the first Of April next; so that the people
must submit another year to the rule Of
aristocracy before they car ae etnancipa-
ted
Much credit is due the representatives
from this county, both ia the Council and
the House, for their unremitted exertions
in carrying out the wishes Of their consti-
tuents, especial with respectto the change
in our county system. Many Of the wes-
tern members were strenuous and unyieid-
ing in their opposition 10 The measure; ma
ny endorsements were thrown in the way
Of the bill, and much discretion and per-
severance were required on The part of its
friends to ensure its passage. The bill was
ably and successfully sustained by our re-
personalities, and We doubt not their seryi-
ccs in accomplishing this important mea-
sure will be daily appreciated by both poll
teal parties in this county. If we do not
publish this law entire, we shall give some
Of its leading features in our next.
While on this subject it may be proper
to say, that our representatives from this
county, have acquitted themselves honora
bly, in the business Of egislation, and have
sought the best good Of their constituents,
irrespective OF local or party considers-
lions.

16ieE and County GorcrnmenL-It was
stated in our last paper, that the bill pro-
yIding for new organization Of town and
county government, had become law and
would @ into effect, in such counties as
".rc disposed to vote TO accept it. This
decidedly tho most important act which
AS passed the legislature the past session
And VIII essentially change the structure
@. the iu;esna. regulation Of those counties
which adopt it, Three thousand copies Of
t,e law, which, by the by, is unusually
long, are ordered to be printed in pamph-
lie, form, and distributed among the several
couni,~, in 'hc territory, in proportion to
their population, as early as the first Of
April next; every elector viii therefore
have an opportunity to examine its proyi-
SONS and Judge Of its merits. =.
From a cursory examination which we
have given the law, we feel confident it
will meet the appreciation Of nine tenths Of
the legal voters OF Racine county. We
venture this opinion with the more freedom
from the fact that The people in the sevc-
raj towns in this county. have expressed
themselves by petition and otherwise in ia
Fo' OF change, and of the adoption of II
system similar TO the one now offered for

Orchards. AS the season CT the year is
approaching, suitable to the planting Of
fruit and ornamental trees, we would sug-
gest to farmers the propriety Of making a
good beginning the present spring. Every
farmer who has dwelling that will sub
serve his present purpose and convenience,
had better defer the building Of Il better for
another year, rather than neglect the plant
ing Of an orchard Of fruit trees. The loss
OF one year in the growth of an orchard,
is no small matter to IA farmer, especially
IN country so new as this Not only is
it a years loss Of one the domestic COM
forts of life, but it is an actual loss in the
future value of every MAS farm, who neg
ects this important appendage. During
the next ten years the value Of every farm
in this territory, which has on it a thriving
orchard, will be enhanced from % to 50
per cent from that consideration alone. II
not only bespeaks a mans love Of the
comforts and blessings Of life, but it in
dicates regard to economy, to give his
carly attention to ornamenting and impro-
wing his farm with fruit trees.
Many farmers enormously seem to sup
pose that the planting Of fruit trees is a
matter Of secondary Importance, and is on
Iy deserving of attention, after all other
things, such as the building Of houses.
barns, and other Improvements, have been
effected. Such persons are apt 10 forcgo
many Of the blessings and enioyments OF
domestic life; being blinded by the desire
Of gain, or tho love Of vulgar qualification
Nature is rich ana bountilul 10 all her yota-
ries. but the man who pursues his own
narrow track and makes no effort to obtain
her bountics, will be denied the happiness
she bestows upon those who direct their in
dustry Alright. A little we'll directed effort
by every man who is in possession of a
farm, would in few years render this
country all that is desirable, SO far as the
different varieties Of fruit adapted to this
climate are an object The climate and
soil Of Wisconsin, offer every facility TO
the production Of every species OF fruit
which is capable of being grown in any
other portion Of the United States OF the
same latitude.
We therefore hope farmers in Wiscon-
sin, will not defer until another year, the
commencement Of an orchard Of fruit trees
for in after years they will never regret
the expenditure incurred. The small out
lay of capital required to plant an orchard
tho present season, will he regarded with
far more satisfaction in future years than
almost any other investment which can be
made OF an equal amount.
