Soc Grass Seed LiberGuy The Flrmrr's CALI
met says One OF The greatest rrfnrs IN farming
is that of sowing seeds too thin. One seed pro
duces but one stalk, and though when the leavcs
are expanded the ground may appear well cover
eh, yet when it is mowl or pasurGd, the roots
will show themselves too remote from each other

Fruit Trees.-There has, been for some years
past an increasing attention to The propagation of
frau trees AM the attention which some OF our
farmers pay to grating shows that good fruit is
an object Of some Importance. But it is 10 be
regretted, that the labor expended in planting
and grating lrnt trees IS often lost 10y letting the
grass grow too near the roots.
No ynuug tree vii grow well when a sward is
formed aruuud it, Yet in travelling our country
in every direction we see this error. The earth
should be turned over in lhe spring, and the latter
part of summer, at two pr three icrt from the
young trees and then all the weeds and grass
that spring up will rot, and become excellent
manure for til m. by such culture trees will
grow rapidiy--bIt without it, ,brir progress will
b. extremely sow,and lhey often die without com.
ing to maturity.

Plpalins Beans.-'rhe editor of the Eastern

prettlest, most economical, an | convenient mode
OF planting lle-hol is to fix the pole in the

side the other circle The beans, when trimmed
upon the pole viii project each other against
drought aud aud bear more ahnn.lnn,ly, and
for mIch longer p3rinl, tiian when planted in
the old way; having Two or three or half dozen
irregular stalks in hill.

thing else that will keep in place. let it remain
several months Ill. the earth becomes fall IT small
roofs; then cut cut off the limb Just below the
parcel of earth, and set it in the ground The
small roots soon become large ones, aud The limb
speedily forms productive tree. II earth can he
