PLANTING PoMAcE.

II would be easy for most farmers 10
supply themselves abundantiy with young
trees, if they would only plant lilte
po.nace now and then. in their gardens or
pome other place, where the cattle are not
allowed 10 run and would learn, also, 10
grafi and bud, both Of which can be very
easily learned BY any one who has the or.
binary Yankee skill at whitting. The
planting may be done al this season of the
year, or the pomace may be put where it
will freeze in the winter. and be planted
10 the spring. We like best The latter
course. as il enablezus Q plow the ground
ia The spring. and thus put batter con-
dilion for The trees the 6rs, year. and by
thus proceeding we get larger growth
the first season.
Trees Of good size now command fair
prices; but so much is doing in this
branch Of business, that by The time trees
from seed now planted shall give saieable
trees, prices may come down.
Frnit has sold os well for the last few
years as it ever has. The demand has
grown with the increased supply. And
as fruit. particularly apples. is becoming
more and more a part Of the daily luxu.

lies, the demand will probably continue
good. And should the shipment Office 10
warmer countries be extended, the apple
trade will increase with it. for in these
ships frighted with ice, apples can be car
ried 10 all parts Of the globe. And should
the prices Of fruit fill, the farmers ofthis
vicinity will lose but little by growing The

II is said that bran is wholly indigesli-
bic. and therefore should never be taken
into the human stomach.
i This objection betrays so much ignor-
ance of the 6nai causes and constitutional
laws, clearly indicated by the anatomical
structure and physiological economy Of
the alimentary organs. that il scarcely de-
serves the sli9 htest notice. Hthe diges-
live organs of man, were designed to re-
ceive nothing but digesllbe and nutrient
substances. they would have been con-
slIucied and arranged very differently,
from whatIhey are.} As we have already
seen, everything which nature provides
for our suslenance, consists OF certain pro-
portions of nutritious and innutrilious mat
ter ia our food is as essential TO the health
and functional integrity Of our alfmentary
organs. as a due proportion Of nutritious
matteFsis te thesustenance OF the body.sa1
Another objection. is, that although
bran may serve. ike other mechanicabir-
rIlan,s aad exc,tanls, tor a while, to re-
lieye constipation. yet il soon wears out
the excilabllHy Ct he organs. and leaves
them more inactive than before. -. .,93 I
! Here again, a false statement is urged
by inexcusable ignorance; for it is not
true that the bran acts in the manner sup
posed in this objection nor are The effects
here asserted ever Produced by it.. 80
II is true, however, that the very perni-
-cions habits OF some people, who use The.
coarse " beaten bread ; and it is true that
others, depending wholly on the virtues
OF this bread for perIslaIllc acliun. and me-,
glecting all exercise, BY their extreme in.
erlness, and Incidence, and over eating,
bring on Sluggishness, and debility, ana
constipation OF The bowels, and perhaps
become severely am cted with piles, 10
spite Of The naluraI fitness Of the bread TO
promote regular perislaltlc action, and to
prevent all th-se results. --Hs3 .s@. I
A third objection is, that though ihe
coarse wheat,n bread nay do very well
for those whs are troubled with consiipa-
tlon,l by mechanically irritating the slom
ach. yet for that very reason II Is wholly
unfit for those who are afflicted with chron-
ic diarrERa
Here is sill another objection founded
in ignorance of the true Physiological and
pathological principles which it involves.
The truth is, that the coarse wheaton,
bread, under proper general regimen, is
as excellent and sure remedy for chronic

ment, and substituting therefor imprlsop-
nlent during life 10 the Penilentiary, un-
less the Governor shall, alter one year. is
sue a warrant, requiring the crimlna! 10

ure as the most imporlan. one. perfected
by our Legislature during its present ses
sion. 1t is a measure that receives our
hearty sppro balion. We consider il as a
virtual abolition ofcapitai Punishment, and
as such. believe The eexperimenl is well
worthy Of q fair TRIAL by the people fthis
state. We, know that many Ahtories

Use great and good results. work badly

this law fair trial, and if it turns out
that crimes increase ia our land. and that
the lives of our citizens, are less secufel

peal it; but at present, we entertain no.
fears of the result. We believe, that a law
lis useless and generally mischevonsi in
any social compact. where such law is not
appreciated and sustained by a general
public spn:ipent. The feeling had become
very general in this state. that capital pun
ishment is relic OF a barbarous age. In
deed it was difficul.io select jury who
would convict of murder, knowing HE in

present law will operate bene 6ciaily, be-

cause there will now exista much greater
