will be exceptions, and only such, 10 this, among
the peach stones, but none or next to none, with
either Of the other named fruits. The vital
powers of peach seed are not destroyed in
many years being dried, and If the stones are
broken, the dried ones may be grown, but with
out this care not one in hundred will germi-
nate.
Alier standing the first season in the seed beds,
all these fruits should be removed 10 a nursery
row, setting them therein about one foot or if.

The peaches will be ready for the bud the first
senson, and the second.
Some prefer grating all these fruits, with the
exception Of the peach, but budding is so much
easier, and quite as sure that il will probably
be adhered to instead both by nurseFymen and
those who cultivate for themselves; though the
former, as asaving Of time, will practice all the
usual modes Of the ProPagalion.-Prairie Far.

Prepare Implements.

Before Spring work commences, farmers
should have all their implements in readiness,
whether they purchase or make them. Wheels,
cars, ploUghs, burrows, drags, rollers, and yar-
Gus other Implements and machines should all
be 10 good order in due time, that there nay be
no delay in the busy season for want Of these
useful things.
A farmer who has timber, and is ingenious,
or eau get a ueighb1r who is skilled in the use
Of tools TO assist him, can often construct coarse
rude implements cheaper than he can buy them.
But small tools. and all machines and imple-
ments that require nice work, may be purchased
at much cheaper rate than the farmer can
make them.
It will cost farmer three times az much 10
Construct plough in the old.fashioned mode oi
employing the carpenter and blacksmith, as II
will to buy ploughs Of the best construction
And the improved ploughs now sold at the agri'
cultural stores require so much less draughI
than the old, rude implements, that they are
cheaper at the usual prices, than the homemade
ploughs are at nothing. These remarks are
unnecessary, at the present day, in most parts
Of the country.
Some tous have been so much improved
that they bid defiance to all competition, excep'
ting that which has been the result Of long ex'
perience, great ingenuity, and expensive i'm
plemenls and machinery in their construction
and il is far better for The farmer TO buy suct
superior tools al a moderate price, Than to use
heavy, bunging implements, if he could hsy'
them Us present.
Let farmer procurs his implements as h
may, he should now commence his preparations
il he is not already about it; for Spring, will
It's long busy train Of operations, will soon b

den change from the rigid cold Of winter, TO III
genial warmth Of Spring, old Time shall gam a
advantage, aud find US unprepared. A goo
preparation for Spring and Summer work, b
having all implements prepared and Of the bel
construction, is great deal towards The accom-
plishmenI Of the labor.

Cottage Fencing,

MKssRs. EDITORs: ln your paper Of the 18th
inst, notice an article on CoIIage Fencing, a
subject we'll worthy the attention Of all who oc-
cupy these delightful residences, and one which
is fully entitled TO newspaper commentaries
Taste should be always combined with utility
around the farmers residence, as we'll as in 9th.
er places; and in this matter Of fencing, we,
even in the present day Of Improvement, often
witness miserable defects, which throw other
things, which, under other circumstances, would
be elegant in their kind entirely into the back
ground, and show a strange commingling Of
beauty on the one hand, and, gross deiormiIy on
the other. Thus, large house, located near
the wayside, with clumsy fence. and one end
Of hog trough reaching through to separate il
from the public road, exhibits at once a mistaken
view OF every thing beautiful and interesting.
Things were sadly out of joint in the projectors
mind. The one idea seems TO have been en-
bodied in the 'great house," and the fences and
all the fixtures are forgotten in il.
Another defect around farmers residences
may be seen where small houses or cottage;
are erected near the waysde, by surrounding
them with fences altogher TOO heavy in proper
ton to the size-of the buildings, and their prox
unity TO the wayside. What miserable con
trast to neat. snug dwelling, of cne or one and
a half story in height, does five or six fee
fence, with large posts and heavy boards, or I
may be rails, present. Proportion is an impor
tanI consideration in all matters around dwell
lngs, and to give beauty, it should be carefully
J studied.
The utility Of wire fences is yet to be tested
: They may answer good purpose, or they may
like too many Of the new things Of The age
prove m entire failure. For ourselves, we con
slider them fully worthy Of trial. If they will
answer nearly as we'll as some writers suppose,
their introduction will be grand achievement,
not only in The economy, but in The beauty ol
the Iarm. So tasteful. yet so light, who will moi
admire theml--Especialy around cottages,
what beautiful appearance they must exhibit!
Just The thing 10 make every other thing show
off to advantage and at the same time present
sufficient security TO all within, from all that S
without.
correspondent of the January number Of
Aliens Agricullurist, makes the estimated cost
of plain wire fence 22 cents per rod. He re.
lers to No. | | wire as u suitable size, which, in
our opinion, is too small. Ii lurger and o
course heavier wire is used, The expense will bt
increased. But allowing TO cost fifty, seventy
five, or even one hundred cents rod, how much
cheaper il will be, than great portion Of the
fences now to be found around cottages which
are decenly enclosed. How much more beau
tilu it must be, from its very simplicity, WI
cave it for euch reader 10 decide.
Yours, truly, WILLIAM BACON.

in consequence OF contemplating a change in
their business, propose opening the whole OF
their extensive warehouse, (ncluding all their
wholesale rooms,) for retailing and will continue
open till The first OF February, commencing on
New Years day l{49. Our wholesale stock COM

sortments OF Fancy and Staple Dry Goods ever
exhibited in the western country, will 5e Offered
at lower prices than ever before known. Every
article howe choice and desirable, will be ac-
cordingly reduced. Upwards of fifty thousand
dollars of our stock has been recently purchased,
the greater portion OF which are foreign goods re!
ceved at New York by late European arrivals,
which from the lateness of the season as we'll as
the known pressure in the money market, were
sold at immense sacrifices at public sales, at rate
varying from twenty five to fifty per cent less
than sin liar goods bought at the frs. of the sea-
son. We are therefore confident that our prices
for the time above mentioned will be found to be
even 10 wer than any Eastern wholesale rates.
| We snxiou>Iy invite all persons TO visit our es-
Enlistment, whether they purchase or not and
test the truth OF the above assuring them that
they will incur no obligation thereby, but confer
L favor on the proprietors Our assortment OF
Silks Shawls and fine dress goods will amply re-
pay one for visit added to which, an unusually
great display of Domestic Goods will, we hope,

which the pulp will be carried off, and the seeds
