Projecting the Peach.

The following communications, which
appeared in late number of the New
England Farmer, confirm the opinion
which we have repeatedly expressed, that
in nearly every county in the Northern
States, crops of peaches may be success
fully raised, by selecting a proper site,
and giving proper treatment. Shorten
ing-in the trees, SO as to keep the heads in
small, compcat, but not crowded head,
would greatly facilitate winter protection,
besides improving the crop. We have
already mentioned the advantages of ever
green boughs, and these would doubtless
prove very efficient, and would be easily
applied in such districts as are. largely
supplied with pine, hemlock, or cedar for
est trees.
Mr.. EDIToR:-In the Farmer of last
week you make few remarks on peach
blossoms; you ask if any person ever at
tempted to protest brances of the peach
tree by bringing them together in the au-
tumn, and covering them with mating or
protecting them in any way other than by
snow. In order to protect peach trees in
this manner it is necessary to keep the
trees dwarfed by pruning, which may be
easily done by beginning while the trees
are small, as it is not the cold, but the
sudden changes of the weather that we
wish to protect the treefrom. The cover
ing need not be heavy;I have covere
peach trees in the following manner; take
four long spruce poles and set them around
the tree with the tops inclined to the top
of the tree; tie the poles together at the
top, then take some old mats and roll
around the tree and make fastto the poles.
l do not think it is necessary to cover the
trees clear down to the ground, but only
as far down as the branches. The result
of this covering was good crop of fruit,
whilst the rest of the trees in the orchard
were barren and fruitless. I think it is
better to leave them open little at both
top and lotion, to admit air in warm
weather; the peach being fruit that is
very uncertain in this part of the country
it is important to try some way to have a
few good peaches, for good fruit brings
a good price at all times Country GEN.

Ventilating Haystacks.

The Rural Newly Yorker gives the fol.
lowing as common mode of effecting the
ventilation of haystacks in England and
to prevent their heating by fermentation
A large sized English grain sack, such as
will hold some 5 bushels of grain, being
2 feet in diameter and A long, is filled
with chaff or cut straw, and placed up
right in the center of the stack, which is
built round it. AS the stack rises, the
sack is drawn upwards, thus leaving a
hole or chimney in the middle, for the
passage of the heated air. An empty
salt-barrel, which an iron rod across the
top for handle, would be likely TO suit 9
Yankee better, and would draw upwards
easily if the hay was not built much
above the middle or swollen part. This
would doubtless be ofgood contrivance fol
corn-fodder stacks, which so often suffer
Tor want of ventilation Country Gen

Curing Glover Hay.

The New England Farmer gives the
following brief and simple directions, on
the management of clover hay, which ac-
cord with what has been occasionally be-
fore published on the subject A little
experience may be necessary in conduct
ing this management in the best manner !;
hence if not fully successful at the first
trial. this mode should not be hastily Civ
en- up.
In curing clover hay, the principal val
ue of which consists in the heads and foli-
age, we have observed, that when cut
early and cured in ''grass cock" as it is
called, the hay possessed much more
brilliant and beautiful appearance than the
same quality of grass, cut to the same
time, and cured in the open air, or under
a free exposure often for protracted Pc
riod to the sun. By cutting this grass
wen the crop is in full blossom, allowing
it to remain in the swath the first day af-
ter moving, till nearly night, and then
turning it carefully with fork so as to
expose fresh and unwilted surface to
the night dews, and cooking it in the after
noon of the second day, in small compact
cocks, of about eighty pounds unmade
hay, to the cock, it will make evenly and
thoroughly, and may be pitched and even
trodden down in NOW without being de-
priyed of its heads or finer leaves. The
The color will be most beautiful green,
and tn e flowers will be almost as fresh in
color as when cut. After cooking, let the
weather be fair or foul. no opening or turn
ing, (unless in case of prohacted storm
of the "grass cocks" should be allowed
1t is unnecessary, as the hay will "cure''
completely through, and the outside,
when saturated with water, will soon dry
/ off, and effect no harm whatever to the
hay. You will never see mouldy hay, il
this method is adopted, in making or
curing it. In forming grass cocks, the
fork is preferable to the rake, which is OF
service only in gathe.iny up the scatter
ings, and regulating the size and shape Of
the cocks Country Gentleman.

Dignity OfIabor.

The position may be carped at--may
be the subject of cavil and dispute-that
the dignity of labor and of tho laborer
corresponds in q great measure to the
impulse or motive which is the moving
ing spring with US. Through party''or per-
sonal hatred of those who may have ad-
vocated this opinion, an attempt may be
made to discredit it; but every one who
will look within and take cognizance of
his own feelings in relation to those work
ing for low or cannon motive, will have
testimony sufficient, that in proportion as
the motive impulses to labor is high or
low, noble or ignoble, just in correspon-
ding proportion is the respect which is
yielded to the laborer and his labor.
The farmer who tasks himself to make
his farm not only source of comfortable
subsistence to those depending on him
but also a scene of beauty and neatness; te
crafty his own taste or sense of beauty
or still more, to crafty the taste and cary.
ing for beautiful objects in his wife 6,
daughters, IS one whom all will respect
and admire much more-whom all viii
feel to be more noble and dignifed be-
ing-than him who lazily plods along only
when driven by the spur of necessity, ant

prospectus Of the wyandot Pioneer.


IN view of the rapidly improving condition of
the county of Wyandot. and town of Upper
Sandusky, and for other reasons not neees-
sary to bementioned,I i have purchased "a new
press, type and other printing material for the
enlargement of the PIONEER. 1t is my intention
to attempt to get up as large and neat paper
as any one printed in any of the adjoining coun-
ties; and in SO doing, shall have to look to the
citizens of the county for the support necessary
for its continuance. The liberality OF the peo-
pie will, therefore determine the success and pub
LEGATION of the paper, and it will be expected
that each man interested in the future growth
and prosperity of Wyandot county will freely
lend his aid in securing subscribers
The PIONEER in politics, will be Democratic
and at the same time, claim nothing for itself
that will not be extended to others. While the
editor has his PECULIAR NOTIONS of political and
other matters, he believes that other men have
alike privileges to their opinions. Although |
may publish political paper, it must and will
be free from ALL FACTIONS, and controlled alone
by the editor. When say this, it is not my IN
tention to say that the advice of friends will not
be received, for shall, at all times be pleased to
counsel with my friends upon all matters per-
tanning to the best interests of our county and the
publication of the paper. If however, / might
differ with others in opinion, that difference can
alone be changed by full conviction of my
error.
The FARMER shall not be neglected as good
~ portion of the Pioneer will be devoted to his
interests. A gentleman of ability, has kindly
consented to aid me in this department of the
paper, and with his aid, hope to be able to rem
der the country subscribers, good service.
! The mechanic and laborer will always find
the columns of this paper open for the defence
of their rights and the advancement of their
prosperity. In fact all classes will find our pa
per ready to vlndicate every thing calculated to
promote the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der.
| With this exposition of what the Pioneer will
be, ask every gentleman, who can, to come up
and subscribe, and get as many more as he can
to do likewise. The prosperity of every town
and country depends more or less upon the pa
per of the county and that the paper may be
what it ought to be, let it have good living
support.
JOB OFF1cE-The selection of job type in the
Pioneer Office being large, job work of every de-
scription will be neatly and expeditiously execu-
ted, at low prices.
The following rules and charges will in every
particular be strictly observed, and it would
therefore be well for subscribers to observe these
rules:

Stock Barns.

MEssRs EDIToRs.-A subscriber, in a
recent numberof our valuable paper, in-
quires for the best plan of a convenient
barn for the accommodation of stock. If
not the best, the following description ap
plies to very convenient one for the pur-
pose designated.
The aoidM on the ground should be suf-
fcient for floor, with stables on each
side, running the whole length of the barn,
and the length should be in proportion tc
the amount of stock requiring stableroom
In it,.
Above the stables, the two sides should
project from six to eight feet. The object
of the projection is to give more room
above for hay, stalks, grain, &C., and al
the same time, protect the manure thrown
out from the stables below. There should
be a cellar under the floor for storing
roots; the stable floor may be made tight,
and the urine conducted by cutters, at the
foot of the stables, into capacious cisterns
convenient for pumping into the compost
heap. Or, if not wanted for that purpose,
the liquid manure collected may be car
ried out in watter-carts and applied by ir-
cation; whatever use is made of it, it is
more convenient in cisterns than vast un-
der the stables.
The covering should be made tight for
warmth, and painted to give neatness,
beauty and durability.
Such barn will certainly accommo-
date more stock, than the same number OF
feet of inclosure in an octagonal form as
figured and recommended in late num-
Der of the "People's Journal" 1t may
be more convenient to feed stock arrang.
ed in circle, but such convenience is pur.
chased at the expense Of waste room al
the foot of the talls.-Countrg Gentle

To BoIL RIcE.-Rice is one of those
vegetables which is easily injured by poor
cooking, and may be made really unpala-
table by alittle overlooking. Rice should
be carefully looked over, and thoroughly
washed in two or three waters. The ler
mel will then have a pearly lustre. Il
should be put into boiling water in which
little salt has been thrown, and allowed
to boil fifteen to seventeen minutes. The
water should then be drained off-and
the kettle set back from the violent heat
OF the fire-when it has steamed in this
way about fifteen minutes. it will be per.
ifectly soft, of snowy whiteness, and each
kernal will retain its inyiduality, and not
lost IN one solid mass of paste. A pint oi
rice may de boiled in three quarts Of wa
ter.-Am. Agest.

Basis Of Good Farming.

Mr.. ISAAC MOORE who farms one hun
dred and Fifty acres. Of clay loan, with
limestone diffused through it and in posi-
ton land surely no better soil could be
desired than this on Clover street, Brigh-
ton, Monroe County, N. Y, writes us that
his usual averages, per acre are as follows;
Indian Corn: rs bushels; extra yields,
80, 80, to 100.
Potatoes: formerly $50 to 400 bushels;
latterly 200.
WAeat. ESQ acrss:) Is to SO and 40
bushels, rarely so.
Oats: little snow once 486 bushels
from five acres seed 20 bushels.
Hoy: to 8 tuns; once Al tuns.
These are large crops; and we are now
surprised to learn that Mr.. MOORE has
built thet'Clover st. Seminary" and en-
dowed a Professorship out of the profits
of such farming. But how he does it is
the important point. The natural rich
ness of his soil is undoubted; but major
ity of farmers on just such soil do not OBJ
tain half SO large crops. Here is his ex-
PLANTATION:
Inever sell straw: this goes back in
some shape to the land. Ny barn-yard
yields me many hundreds Of wagon loads
of manure; what l fail to get on to my
lands in the spring of the year keep as
bank deposit till autumn.
sBut clover and paster are the great
fertilizers of the soil of Western New
York. When / sow Wheat, Oats or Bar
ley, sow ten to twelve pounds of Clover
to the acre. Any farmer who will follow
this process for fertilizing need never &c
to Peru to obtain Guano. His farm will
never run down. Ihave cultivated Roots
but little. While / have done, I have
found profitable. Many neighboring farm
ers cultivate largely of Carrots. Beets and
Turnips for stock and teams
We copy the above from the New York
Tribune. We have known Mr. Moore
and his farm, for twenty years. He be-
longs to a large class of farmers in west
ern New York, who early brought to
their aid all the information they could
procure as to the true principles of farm
ing, who read reflected, and adopted such
courses of tillage, manuring and cropping.
as were best adapted to their lands. The
result has been, the while they have
groom rich from the products of the soil,
they have in no wise impoverished it; on
the contrary their farms are now more
productive than when first brought under
the plow in all their origional richness.
