Tender FruitS.--In all parts of
the Northan States, whore the land
is billy, trees of tender fruits, as
peaches, ncctarines, aprioots, grapes
&C., will be found to do far better
on the bills than in the valleys, other
things being the same. Valleys are
very subject to frosts, and peaches
and other tender fruits planted in
them often have the. fruit killed,
while on hills it will nearly always
escape. Where peaches have been
destroyed one year in two in valleys,
they have borne well nine years out
of ten on hills, fifty or one hundred
feet higher -. vlaaa 3
The Mounds on the prairies are far
better foS tender fruits than the sur

agricultural,
reinforcement of Poor Lands.

One of the cheapest, and probably
most efficient methods of restoring fer.
tility to exhausted soils, is that which,
in England, is denominated Green
Dressing" This is nothing moro than
turning in a crop of buckwheat, oats,
peas, or, in short, any succuent crop
which the soil is competent TO produce,
As soon as the plants have attained
their full growth, the field is ploughed,
care being taken to cover all the plants
with an even furrow, and in this state
the field is permitted to remain until the
mass has had time fairly to decompose,
when it is again ploughed aud sowed TO
wheat. The Dutch, also, practice the
same economical system, and are said
TO produce excellent crops of wheat on
poor pine plains, which, without this
preparation, would scarcely repay the
expense of ploughing.
Millet is an excellent article for this
purpose, as its cost is comparatively
nothing, yielding a large amount of foil
age, which, from its peculiarly succulent
nature, when green, readily decomposes
when turned in. A soils of light
texture, when attempted to be improved
in this way--no matter what may be the
nature of the ameliorating crop, should
be carefully rolled as soon as ploughed.
BY sowing buck wheat early in the sea-
son, and ploughing as soon as the plants
have arrived at the period Of inhores-
ence, second crop may be had, either
Of buck wheat or peas.-.Naine Far

Preservation of Cabbages.

A correspondent in the May number
of the Cultivator, inquiries respecting
the best method of preserving cabbages
through the winter. have aplan which
ten years experience has shown to be a
very good one bnt whether it is the
best, or even a novel one, TO most of
your readers, i will not pretend to decide.
| let my cabbages stand till late in
the season, and Gf discover no symp-

signs of the appearance of winter. |

field, and with spade or hoe dig holes in
rows, say two feet apart, just large G.
nough 10 receive about two-thirds of
cabbage head. ] select one of the lar
gest and most solid heads, pull it up by
the roots, wrap it up in the large coarse
leaves, that grow to the stalk, and chuck
it into one of the holes, with the stump
inclinipg upwards, at an angle Of forty
five degrees, or even placed vertically.
Nothing now remains but TO shovel on
two or three inches of dirt, and press it
down upon the head and around the
stump, few inches of which may be
left above the ground, to mark the spot,
and serve as handle to pull the cab
bagc up by. Treated in this way, have
found them finer by far--fresher, tender
or, swceter--tban when gathered in the
fall, and have never lost a sound head.
have gone out in March, when there
was three feet of snow on the spot and
with shovel and crow-bar, have exhumed
such cabbages as would have made your
correspondents mouth water, and long
after the frost was out of the ground, |
have found them equally good. This
mode is attended with some more labor
than that Of budding them into large
holes or trenches, or hanging them up
in the cellar, but TO those who are fond
of fresh cabbage in the sprng-and
confess an especial fondness for the
same: having spent many years in the
capacity of iailor-the extra pains is

THE WOOL DEPOT.

Mr. Blanchard informs US that all the
wool placed in his establishment at
Shoreham has been disposed of except
$4,000 lbs, of extra and no. |. This
will be sent to Undertook to await
further offers. The superintendent states
the last sales as follows No, 5, at %
cts, No. 4, at 80, No. 3, at 81, No. 2,
at SO, No. |, at a.. Mr.. Blanchard we
have been credibly informed is willing
TO pay depositors so cents for Extra and
Prime no. l, if they prefer it rather than
await further sales at Undertook, where
from so to So may be expected. We
are by no means disappointed in the
happy result of this new method OF mar
keting our great staple. So far, every
depositor has been punctually paid the
avails of his wool. We have not heard
a lisp of complaint against the supern-
tendent in the transaction of this bust
ness. His fairness, prudence and skill
in making sales of the property entrus-
ted to him remains wholly unimpeached
and we trust unimpeachable. There is
every reason to believe that the highest
marketable price has been obtained, aud
far better than if sold TO agents upon an
average. In several instances very good
prices have been realized, independent
of the depot. But even those have been
materially enhanced by its establishment.
Wool agents would have sung the same
old tune of sit is naughl says The buyer
until from 80 to 81 cents would have
been the standard for wool which has
now been sold from 81 to 40.
Thus have the merits Of the Depo
system been fairly tested.
Its enemies and slanderers will now
be relieved of the necessity of clamorine
against IT, Its advantages to agricultur
alists can no longer be doubted, and We
