good story is told Of justice in Eric county
~ Y. Two men had a suit before him, when
the plaintH whom we shall call Brown, aitemp-
ted to state his case. Tie man of authority cut
short the opening plea by saying: "DoD't you say
nothing. Brown and as for you Jones (,he defcn-
dant,l knoios you, aud III enter Judgement ogin
YOU quicker nor lightning"
Plant IrseS--1he man who plants n tree. aud
takes measures 10 make it flourish, mny Justly be
considered public benefactor--and we wish thui
some regulation would be made in every country
village which would cause the forest trees in New
England, the elm the oak the ush, the maple or
the buitonwood, TO he planted in continuous rows,
ny The SHE OF every highway; whrli would thus
increase our resources for tueI, lhut are rap
idly inling-and b. u the traveller
=, " From storms shelter and from heat u shade."
How many cords of wood might thus lie produ-
ced IN thirty or forty years? Let the curious in
statistical resources, calculate the length of the
roads, the number of trees, and the quantity of
wood, Any computation would result in proving
the wisdom oil such regulation aud pusieriiy
would rejoice at the legacy, and praise Tho wisdom
aud 'llsDerestedness OF their ancestors.
We trust that in every village, public spirited
men, women, or children, will plant, or cause to
lie planted some forest trees in front oithe dwell
ing, or by the road side. II all would assist in
this generous work the solid advantages would
be greai--and The beauty Of orr country towns
would he greatly increased -.B9Sion journal.
Root Pruning. 49, 1t is II common thing for trees

lutte or no ruit. This may he reniedieh 10y dig
gng about them, and pruning the roots ns well as
the branches Plants that have no more roots
than barely sufficient TO sustain their vigorous
growth, always yield more flowers aud frui', than
those whose roots ave allowed tn spread greatly
Hence the Chinese often cultivate fruit trees in
large pots. They are thus said to make peach

CrdnberrieS.--Cutvnjed Crnuberries were tx
hil'ned by ). Bates OF Dillingham;, Noriulk
~, Massachusetts, whlrb were grown on ms own
land. he stntes that low land is the hest for them,
prepared in the sanIe manner for grain, the wild
crnnoerres being manipulated into 1t il rows 70
inches apart At first they require slight hue
ing; afterwards they spread aud cover the ground,
producing crops annually thereafter, without iur-
ther culture; and in this condition, they are innre
productive, the fruit being larger and finer, tnI
III their wild state, thh yield beng from 200 10 300
bushels per acre, and worth on average, in The
Boston market, one dollar busheL A dauIp soil
ar where wet pre- Dominates, has generally been
considered essential bui Mr.. Is. thinks this is not
necessary TO their successful cultivation earl
spring is the best time for trans planting.
When these are cultivated in gardens, or fields
of firm land, use for manure the muck mud
from the boys where they grow spontaneously :by
these means fIl crops ut this most valuable fruit
may be secured with the greatest certainty, aud al
little cost or trouble, and OF superior flavor.
