the proper spirit Of institutions. Upon the Kansas
element the Governor says Although il was freely
asserted and widely believed that the question Of
Freedom or Slavery in Kansas would hinge
upon tie re.ut Of the election, and although,
lad it terminated in diferert manner
the probability Of her admission into the
Union az a Free State would have been materially
strengthened yet recent developments give strong
bopes that the present chief executive Off of that
Territory, in contradstnction to his predecessor, will
admir- lister the laws fairly and imparally will protect
actual settlers in their Just rights, and will resist the
intrusion Of Ion residents for Illegal purposes Such

ExPEpIENTs FOR INDUCING FRUTTFULNEss IN
TKEEs.-In consequence of the soil being too
deep, or too rich, or the roots penetrating
into the subsoil, or by some other means,
causing over luxuriance from superabun-
dance Of sap, trees become barren. Some
times the cutting off the roots of trees has
been the means of causing them to blossom.
Removing the decayed, cracked bark from
old trees, is said to have good effect. Inc
same end has been obtained by removing
narrow annuIar portion of the bark, wnich
is termed ringing; in spring. this process is
said both to improve the quality ana pre-
cocity of the fruit Ringing, when the bios
SONS are fully expanded, produces similar
Eject bv interrupting the descent of the sap.
Stripping off pieces of the bark from the
stem and branches, checks lu2uriance IN
near trees. Renewal of the soil TO the roots
has often been resorted to with success /;
where the soil is too rich, poorer kind may
be substituted, and where too poor, richer.
Bending down the branches has also had the
desired effect, and has been accounted for by
its retaTding the flow of the sap.
A good and judicious soil, on firm, dry
bottom, which will prevent the roots from
penetrating too deep into the subsoh, with
plenty Of light and air, and proper pruning,
is the only permanent and general mode OF
inducing fruitfalRess Stunted tire always
produce worthless fruit, and should there
fore be guarded against as much as possible.
