! In the political world. there is very
large and ugly stump, placed directly in
the middle of the high road, over which
our great legislative wagon has to pass
What is worse, too, some of our Southern
fellow citizens helped the North to place
the stump exactly in its present position, or
rather to dig away the earth which had pre-
viously hidden it. These very same poll
ticisns now insist in driving dire city over
the stump, because it is in the middle of the
road, it being one of their undoubted rights
to use that portion of the highway. Little
care they whether the wagon is broken or
not in the passage-they insist on their
rights at all hazards. Would it not be prop
er for them to reflect upon the agency they
had in giving the stump its present position,
before they put in practice their threats TO
break the wagon upon it, merely because
those who helped them put it there. fancy
ing it great Improvement TO the highway,
will not assist in its removal?
There is one thing very certain, the peo-
pie who own the vehicles that travel over
this road, will take very good care that their
rash drivers in future, s.furnish their otCn

Iportunity for the grass to grow, the theory
now obtaining is to plough once and deep,
the after work being perfofne BY the har-
row and wheel cultivator.s The sdvanta-
ges arising from this mode Of culture are
as follows: The sod once inverted remains
below the surface, sfording in its decompo-
sition food for the young plants; il also sf-
fords an opportunity for the superintendent
water TO pass of, thereby removing the liza
bility Of the ground to bresk or heavs.-
On land comparatively free from stuups
and stones, as all old cleared land should
be, consider this a.decided Improvement
on the old plan. Another important con-
sideration is, the ground once ploughed d, the
labor is in great measure accomplished.
By the use of the harrow and cultivator oc-
casionslly, the ground will become pnfver-
lied; so when the time of seeding dfrives,
the ground is already prepared for the re-
ception Of the seed. If any doubt Sbe SUI

THINNING FRUIT.-Those cultivators who
have not had much experience in raising
fruit, neglect to thin il; consequently their
fruit is inferior, both in size and quality,
and the quantity no larger. Owing 70 Its
inferiority, it sells at a much less price.than
it would under judicious management
One peach-grower informed us that ne
had taken off two-thirds of his peaches,
and as they increased in size, and appeared
too thick on the trees, he ssid that he was
sorry that he had not taken off tns half OF
the other third. One man complained to
his neighbor. that certain variety OF the
peach, which his friend had advised him to
cultivate. was a poor bearer. "Stop your
complaint" was the reply, ''until you sell
your fruit" He raised on one tree three
dozen of peaches, sold them at two dollars
per dozen, and was satisfied.
In many casesit is necessary to thin fruit,
reducing it sometimes to one half the spe-
cimens, abd sometimes still greater reduc-
ton is necessary. Besides the injury to
the fruit from too large crop, the tree is
also injured by exhaustion, which will stint
its growth, render it unhealthy, and cause
light crops in future, particularly in the next
season.
Experience in this business is necessary,
for but very few persons can be taught by
precepts the great Importance of thinning
fruit; so they will go on allowing too much
to remain on the trees. till they gradually
learn, from practice, the good effects OF
thinning.-.Nsy England Farmer.
