HEDGE FENCES.

N j. COLEMAN, Eso.-You promised

that very nice and important process
of. cutting the Usage Orange Hedge
the first time after being set and grow
ing one year! AS. there has beenmuch
fatal teaching and many fatal mistakes
made in pruning and training these
hedges 1 cheerfully furnish the follow
ing item. Of instructions. of immense
importance, andof the highest authori-
ty, and 1 am glad it viii be time for
those. who win heed it to correct the
mistakes Of the present Spring.
One year from the time of setting,
cut all down even with the ground,
below the buds into the yellow root
The object of this is to destroy the
tendency to one main stock, and force
the plant to stool at the outset. If we
leave only one or two buds, we get
only as many Shoots. If We cut them
aITof, the root VIII swell and send up
"a fine and more strong, vigorous shoots,
having their focus exactly at the sur
face, or perhaps a little below. No
further trimming is required this year,
as we wish to strengthen the root, and
Q this we can only DOLBY letting it form
top the whole of the second year.
The first cutting should be done with
shedge-sheers, as with any thing else it
Will be difficult to cut close enough.
Reports of failures are discourag-
ing when the story is but half told
Ycuhave published some suchin former

ures to give you in future numbers in
which 1 shall tell the story! Long
will the cautious and the curious con-
tinue to handy the question, will hedge

A RICH SERMON.

rr".HH @
Where is the man with his harp of a
thousand strings?
The following rich extract from a
sermon will be recognized at a glance
by some of our readers here at home.
It loses much of its humor, because we
cannot put in print that sing song
style and appropriate gestures that
accompany it.
My friends, sin makes the purtiest
Young man or oomanin the world ugly
ali. And I'll tell you know-ah; as
was coming up to church to-day-ah, ]
saw some young men in the road-ah.
And thoughto one of them the purtiest
young man I ever saw in my life-ah.-
And as L drew nigh unto them | dis
covered that they were playing Nv
maryels, and they all drew nigh unto
a place they called taw-ah, and they
marveled-ah. And this purity young
man was the last to marvel-ah, and
when he marveled he jumped up and
tapped his hands like a rooster does
his wings, and says he, II wish I may
be d--di if I haint fat-ah."
And, oh my friends, then I thought
that was the Ugliest young man 1 ever
saw in my life-ah-And 1 opened my
mouth and spake unto him thus-ah, says
L young man, this is not the way to
salvation"
And says he, "Old boss, if you had
been salivated as bad as 1 have, you
wouldn't want to hear folks talk about
salvation"
And now my friends, when that al
young man said he was fat he told g
leah, for he was lean as that hungry
looking sister over thar that's always g
praying so pious while the hat is bein.
passed around-ah.
And, my friends, if that young mar
hadn't been blinded by sin, he never
could a mistuk me for an old horse-ah

The raising of grass for hay or
pasture comes in with good farming
everywhere, and is made a more i'm
portant object as. husbandry advances.
Some of our best farmers, however,
prefer to raise grain mainly, and get
along with their stock. with a very
small quota of hay. Cattle thrive well
upon cut straw mixed with meal, roots,
etc. We have kept working oxen and
COWS fat on straw and turnips. But
these are exceptions. The generality
of farmers viii raise grass for stock,
and it is, no doubt, decidedly their best
policy to do so. Grass is the natural
food of our domestic animals.
From all that we have yet been able
to learn from experiments made with
the different English grasses in this
country, none of them equal our own.

perennial rye-grass is the best English
