other day on two acres Of land
which no had cultivated for a few
years, and which he makes very
productive. He told us ii was so

he put in a large pillow, and turn
ed it over to the depth Of nearly
one foot, following with the sub

.D~ There is good scnce and
sound advice in the following,
from the Louisville Democrat o
yesterday:
PEACH AND PEACH TREEs.-We
cannot too strongly impress upon
our peach-growing friends in the
country, the absolute necessity of
an extensive and thorough thinn-
ing out of the fruit at this season.
The frost, which has usually per-
formed this Office at the West,
has wholly failed this spring to
affect the crop, and the conse-
quence will be, that trees left to
themselves will be destroyed by
the weight Of their fruit, long be-
fore the period Of ripening. Nor
is this the only evil-the fruit
will be smaller in size and taste
less in flavor.
The product Of a tree thinnod
down to four bushels will sell in
market for twice as much money
as ten bushels raised on the same
tree would bring. Their is but
one way to do the work, and that
is by hand. To thrash the fruit
off with clubs Injuries the trees,
destroys the best and leaves the
worse fruit, and does not produce
a regular thinning.
The number Of peaches to be
left on limb should be rcgulat-
ed by the usual size Of the fruit
when ripe, and the age and thrift
lines of the tree. Even the
smallestsized peaches shouldhave
at least four inches space for each
fruit, while tho Heath, Old Min
or Cling, and peaches Of that size
should have. from six to eight inch
SOS.
The labor required for this pur-
pose mayat lirstsightstartle some
Of our old fashioned fruit growers
but a little calculation will soon
convince them Of its profit, us well
as necessity.
The average cost Of trimming
a tree will not exceed forty cents
while the increased value Of the
fruit will be say from two to
five dollars. We will venture tho
prediction that Notwithstanding
the immense crop Of fruit now on
the trees, there will DO fewer really
fine peaches in market this sea-
son than there were in the sum-
mer Of 1858, aud that they will
consequently, command higher
prices.

Usage Orange Trees.

Mr.. II. p. Byram, the editor Of
the L0ni> riiic Journdi, writes
to that paper from Dayton, Ohio,
under date September 9th, 1855:
In the vicinity of this city i
saw some of the most perfect
speciinncs of the Usage Orange
hedge, that | ever before met
with--more perfect, indeed, than
| supposed nature could produce,
even with all the aid that mt and
industry could lend her. The
plants seem to withstand the
blighting effect of this unusually
dry season, better than any other
species ofvegetation. The leaves
still present the most rich glossy
green that characteristics this plant
in our most favorable seasons.
From u somewhat extensive
acquaintance with the character
Of the Usage Orange plant, | have
often pronounced it the hedge
plant Of America, but | had no
idea of the degree of perfection
to which | find it susceptible OF
being trained in the hedged.-
The oldest Of the hedges here now
is about four years. 1t is four
feet high, and three broad at the
base, and as dense, compact and
uniform from the ground to the
top, as if it had been moulded
by hand from some plastic mater
ial. My attendant remarked that
it was $50 close at the bottom that
a snake could not find its way
through it." There we're several
other specimans in the same vici,
nifty, from one two years old, al
presenting the same beautiful ap
pearance.
The great aud only secret il
producing this living American
prairie fence is, clean culture fol
four years, and u relentless, un
spearing shearing, from the periot
Of setting the plants to the emf
Of four years, and then to main
tain it in its proper form by semi

Planting Sweet Potatoes in Level
Ground.
Smyrna, N. Y.


Ground.
The old method Of planting
sweet potatoes in hills and ridges,
in this dry climate, and on our
hard upper country lands, is all
wrong. Potatoes must have
moisture and soft earth to do
we'll. But they lack both in the
common culture. Hills and ridg-
es are the driest forms in which
you can put the soil. Fiat cul-
ture is the only right kind for
potatoes, or any thing else in our
burning climate, and on our clay
uplands. Potatoes should be
planted as fiat, and may in that
way be planted as easily as
corn.
First, break up the land well;
then lay of rows four feet wide,
with a shovel pillow; run deep in
the same track with a rooter, and
then, you want it perfect, deep
or still in the same furrow with a
common new-ground couture,
Next, list upon both sides ofthis
in the way; that is with shovel,
ropter and cultur--onc right in
the track of the other. This
makes deep work, and the
deeper the better. 1t is soon
done. Your ground is now ready
deep, loose, and moist, and will
keep SO all summer.
Now for planting and culture,
