Prospectus of the wyandot Pioneer.

IN view of the rapidly improving condition OF
the county of Wyandot and town of Upper
Sandusky, and for ether reasons not neces-
sary TO be mentioned. have purchased 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 It's continuance. The liberality of the peo-
pie will, therefore determine the success and pub
lication Of the paper, and it will be expected
that each man Interested iF 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 a 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 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 4 good
" portion of the Pioneer will be devoted to his
interests. A gentleman of ability, has kindly
consented to aid nae 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 a good living
support.

THE PIONEER.
AGRICULTURAL.
nes1rncfion of Bushes.


In many places there are grounds which
cannot be well plowed, that afford tolera-
BILE paslurage, if not teo much occupied
bv bushes. The shrubs which are inclin-
ed to grow in these situations, are alders,
bricrs of several kinds, whortleberry, &c.
Where these are permitted TO grow, they
prevent the growth of grass to great ex-
tent, and make that which docs grow, sour
and worthless.
The mode usually adopted for killing
bushes, in such circumstances, is to NOV
them. The efficiency of this has been
found to depend much on the time of the
year in which the work is done. Cutting
in winter seems to have little effect tow
ards destroying them; they start with the
return of spring, and grow rapidly. The
effect is nearly the same if they are cut
while the foliage is developing. All trees
and shrubs make their annual growth in
few weeks from the time of putting out
leaves. During the remainder of the
season, the wood hardens, and the buds
of the next seasons foliage are set. The
juncture when the leaves have attained
their full size, and the growth of the sea-
son is checked, is sometimes called s'turn
of the sap" The vitality of many plants
is greatly impaired if they are cut off at
this time. But with another species cut
ting at another period-the last of Au-
gusts more fatal.
The black alder usually grow in moist,
rich ground, such as is very natural to
grass. From their rapidity of growth
they soon occupy the ground to the exclu-
sion of other vegetation and appropriate
ing the best soil to their use, they occa-
sion much loss. Attempts are often
made to eradicate them, which do not
succeed, and this produces discourage
ment, which induces the farmer to allow
them to grow unmolested. The resul S
Of trials at cutting alders at various sea-
sons of the year, have proved that the
above mentioned is preferable. We might
cite much evidence in support of this;
but, perhaps, what we have already said
may induce some to undertake the work
In killing briers and small bushes, 5ruis-
ing sometimes answers better than cut
ting. A tool called 'sbush whacker"
has been used for this purpose.
Briers and whortleberry bushes may be
kept down by sheep, after having been
closely cut with scythe. It's necessary,
however. to stock heavily in order to
compel the sheep to eat the bushes as
soon as they start If the bushes are
closely kept down for year or two, the
grass will spread and form so close a
sward, on good land, that the bushes will
have little chance to grow. 1t is impor-
tant that when the work is begun it should
be followed up. Once moving may be
partly effectual, but if the sprouts are
not cut at the proper time the next sea-
son, the labor is in a great degree lost

Rnekwheat to Kin ouack Grass.

A correspondent of the More's Rural
New Yorker has the following in relation
to quack grass:
Ihaye read with considerable attention,
your correspondents articles on the sub
ject of exterminating quack. and think
they are very good; but think that we
have way here in old Herkimer, that is
better than understanding, or summer fal-
lowing. Underdrainirg of itself, will not
kill the quack; but summer following
will, if it is well attended to. The way
we take to exterminate it, is simply to
"choke it out" by sowing grain that
has rapid growth, and which covers the
ground SO completely as to give the quack
no chance for breathing" This grain is
Buckwheat.
The mode Of procedure is, TO plow the
ground in the fall, and again in the spring;
then harrow the ground two or three
times, at intervals of two weeks, or often
er if the quack grows very fast; be sure
to keep the quack down, SO that the blades
get no more than three or four inches
long.) Sow between the twelfth of June
aud the first of July. Use half bushel
of seed more per acre than is usually
sown. If the ground is not strong en-
ough to bring heavy growth Of straw,
use manure freely, as the object is to
promote heavy growth of straw, that
will efectually smother any plant that is
under it,
The advantage this method has over
that of summer following is, that sum-
mer following only kills what quack is
brought on top of the ground by the plow
and harrow: the rest is left free to sprout
and grow again, and as long as it has a
chance to sprout, it will retain life. Buck
wheat kills it by stopping its lungs (leaves)
and the next year, the ground when turn
ed over will have the appearance Of a
half-decayed stack, thereby giving
it an excellent coat of manure.

Planting Small Potatoes.

We have given no little attention to this
subject for many years, and have settled
the matter conclusively in our own minds,
that it does not pay to plant small seed
For fifteen years we planted the same
nameless variety, on the same soil, and at
the end of that time, found no deteriora-
ton in the quality or yield, but rather an
improvement. We have invariably thrown
out from our seed all potatoes less in size
than hens egg, and also rejected those
overgrown, pithy, or irregular shaped.
In some favorable seasons, and on par
ticnlar soils, those purchasing and plant
ing the small potatoes which we have re-
jected, have raised crops equal to or more
prolific than our own; but one year with
another, we have averaged thirty to fifty
per cent. better crops Of good potatoes,
than our amall potato ncighbors.
What we have found true in regard to
potatoes, we have also, by long practice,
proved true in regard to other kinds of
seed. Our plumpest and earliest grains
have always been reserved for propaga-
ton, and our neighbors can testify that
our practice has been attended with good

es lengthy article on the above subject

Of grain was so nearly exhausted; and
one great source of supply--Russia--is

should farmers hurry their next harvest
stock to market? Prices must inevitably
be good, if they will only be reasonable
and cautious; there can be no just cause
of alarm. Let every farmer take time,
Let the am be to keep up fair, steady,

dipping feather in the spirit and passing

worm causing the complaint is sometimes

and secondly, with young birds, dropping
