POPPING THE QrEsTIoN.

Jcdediah Hodge was dead in love
with the beauteous Sally Hammond,
but owing TO an unconquerable feeling
Of tliflidence, he had never been able 10
screw up his courage to the sticking
point, absolutely requisite to enable
him to inform her Of his predilection.
Three several times he had dressed up
10 his "Sunday-go- o-to.meeting- -iixins,"
and made his way TO her fathers house,
determined this time to do or die. But,
unluckily, his courage oozcd away, and
became small by degrees aud 6eauti-
fully less" as the politicians say, till,
when he was fairly in her presence, lie
was barely able to remark that il was a
warm evening. Sally got tired at length
Of this oft reiterated observation, aud
resolved I, help him out Of his predica-
ment, for, like a true woman, she had
not failed 10 perceive what Jedediah
was trying TO come at, but couldn't.
For the fourth time Jedcdiah came. but
did not succeed any better. sally
commenced her attack BY informing
him that Mary Samers, an intimate
friend, was going TO be married.
You don't say" said Jedediah, that
being the only idea that occurred 70
him, except one, aud thathe didn't dare
give utterance to.
Yes" said Sally, "she's going 10
be married next week. Il seems ratl
or queer that she should be married be
fore me, considering she's year yUun

Jedetlial's heart leaped up in BIZ
throat, but he didn't venture TO say any
/. thing.

All writers, in describing the proper

Iplains, and precipitous nountain.sides
are often seen surprisingly fertile
Let the farm-pen, then, be placed on
ground which slopes gently--very gem
tly--to the South, and the cattle will
be more comfortable, the straw and
stalks will be decomposed sooner, and
the manure be sooner ready for hauling
out on the land.
While ON the subject Of manures,
who can pass over the great fertilizer
Of the Paci6c-guano? The only doubt
which any one can entertain about il
is, whether it is worth fifteen pounds
twelve shillings, Virginia currency, per
short ton. Here is thing which a
poor man can afford to buy, and a rich
man cannot afford. This is seeming
paradox and a real truth. tits on hem
nest grass land marvellous fertilizer
--on richer lands questionable bene-
factor. Ifany man doubts this, let him
take the cars any bright morning in the
coming April, and step off at the Bos-
ton depot, and if | do not prove it to
his satisfaction, will give him up as
hopelessly dull, or incurably obstinate.
This is the kind Of land, "short grass"
on which Mr.. Turnbul made his ex-
periments. BY the way, if | were a
king, or any other fountain of honor, /
would give to him medal and a pen
sion for his essay on the restoration of
poor land, recently published in the
Southern Farmer. But he must excuse
me for doubling whether he is right in
commencing his system with corn
crop, instead Of one Of wheat or oats.
| also doubt whether his system, even
when thus amended, admirable as it is
for light, sandy soils, would be equally
efficacious for heavier lands--to say
nothing Of stiff clays. So anxious is
"a Doubter" to know the reason why
guano acts better on poor than on rich
land, that lie authorizes the editors of
the Southern Farmer to offer silver
cup, of the value of twelve dollars, for
the best reason, chemical or mechani-
cal, for the phenomenon. The truth
of it is not to be questioned, but taken
for granted. The reasons to be pub
lished in the Farmer, and its editors
to be the judges, with the privilege Of
calling in the chairman Of the Execu-
tive Committee as umpire in case of
disagreement. lie is not yet done with
his doubts, who calls himself
A D0UBTER.

Hedge-The Usage Orange.

We extract the following from the
Progressive Farmer, for the informa-
ton Of such Of our readers as may feel
an interest in the subject Of live fences:
We all know that it is very heavy
tax on the produce Of our farms to keep
them enclosed, yet no one, unless he
actually goes to work and makes true
calculation of the yearly outlay of
"time and money" has conception Of
the large amount actually expended
in the necessary work of keeping up
decent set of fences on his farm.
AT rough guess, | should suppose
at least ten per cent. Of his annual
income is expended ON the item of
fences alone, or, we might say, farm
that will produce to the value Of one
thousand dollars year, will cost sl00
to keep up the fences. Now could the
farmers, generally, see their interest
in the planting Of iiue fences OF hedges,
| am convinced, that our unsightly and
dead fences would soon be removed
from the premises of all Progressive
Farmers, and their places occupied by
permanent and ornamental living hedg-
es. What "bother" it would be to
our "Sportsmen," or, more properly,
!" loalers,' in trespassing over our fields
to start Rabbit, or a Partridge, and
find one. of these "ticklish" barriers
obstructing their further progress !
Wouldn't they stand aud hold forth
against modern progress!
In some Of the Western States, where
thousands Of miles are already growing
Of the Usage Orange as hedges, the de-
lnand is far ahead Of the supply. There
are regular companies organized and
engaged in raising, planting, and trim.
ming, at 50 much per rod. In Circu-
lar now before me, they offer to "plant,
cultivate, trim aud mature a complete
! fence, at IRON 70 cents TO 81 per rod,
one third to be paid when planted, and
the balance when completed ledg.
es completely grown at 81 to Sizes per
rod, to.be paid when thorough fence
is matured.' Truly do these gentle
men say. "this being the fact. who
would not prefer it to Il dead, dull
wooden fence, costing no more to CON
struct, aud lasting but eight, twelve oI
fifteen years at most. when the same
expensive operation must be repeated
