RESERVOIR HILL.--.No village in our
County is blessed with more intelligent
and industrious young men than Reser-
voir Hill. They are oil miners, and spend
the day in honest labor. which has gene
rally been rcmuncrative. The evenings,
they spend in social intercourse and the
improvement Of their minds. They are
liberal patrons Of the newspaper press
and the bookstores. They long ago cstab-
lished a ThespiAn Society and built a
handsome and wellappointedhall for their
exhibitions, which have been higly COM
mended. They have now we are told,
formed themselves into School and meet
one evening each week for the purpose Of
giving and receiving instruction in the
various branches of4scirnce and learning.
They have class Of English Grammer,
Of Mathematics, Philosophy, Chemistry,
History, &C.. all presided over by mem
bers Of the School. We have no doubt
in our mind but that all the above branch
cs will be taught as thoroughly by the
boys at Reservoir Hill, as in any school in
the county.

Currants and Gooseberries are best pruned by keep
ing their centers quite open, and bringing up six or
eight principal branches from near the ground placing
a wooden hoop in the middle Of tbam, and. tying Them
at equal distances around it. Then cut back al! side
growth on these principal branches 10 within an inch
Of the branch. These will become, tho next season,
covered with fruit spurs, and thus the branches will
produce fruit throughout their whole length. When
summer shoots start, as they will from all parts, pinch
them Immediately, unless they are wanted to form prin.
cipal branches. But these last several years. When
from age the fruit becomes small, train new branehes, and
cut the old ones out. In this way we have seen q single
currant, trained against a fence, cover a space six feet
high and twenty vide. and produce the 6net fruit in
abundance. S% ENs2

An English paper gives the result of an experiment
lately made TO ascertain what would be the difference in
yield where whole potatoes were used for seed or the
eyes alone, and reports thus A trial has been made in
the vicarage garden: Coggeshall, Of potato eyes against
whole potatoes, on perfectly equal terms, a row Of each
side by side-a certain number of whole potatoes were
sown a yard apart, the eyes Of the same sort were sown
at the usual distance; equal care was taken in all. re-
spects that the trial might be fair. The result, as
shown a few weeks back, was, that the whole potatoes
produced in weight more potatoes, but the excess Of
wcight was but equal to the weight of potatoes from
which the eyes had been taken, aud which potatoes had
como into the kitchen for dressing 80 that as FAY as
this experiment goes, nothing is gained by sowing Whole

At this season of the year-ere the ground has lost
its winter GOODNESS and humidity, the plows are brought
out, and the teams are set to work. A question rises
here's it profitable to the soil, and therefor to the
farmer, to turn up the soil, while it is still wet and re
mains packed. Common experience teaches that every
foot of earth should be in a powdered condition before
it is fit to receive seed. Turning up the wet earth ex-
poses it to too sudden evaporization, and the result is
it is baked ia which condition it cannot be pulyerized /:
it absorbs the dews and the rains Of heayen without I'M
parting to the growing grain any Of the elements needed
in the composition Of the future kernel, and therefore
an inferior crop is the result. Let the ground be well
prepared, we'll pulverized, and if we hove to wait a week
longer, there is always enough work to do, SO We may
not be idle.

The Early season.

Spring time is here in its lovely beauty-earlier in
its advent BY six weeks than when last 1t came a year
ago. It is welcome to the farmer, who desires these
early times, while the ground is preparing under the
genial ravs Of the sun to secure his fields with substan-
tiai fences and here is one thing which we desire to
inculcate,-in passing through the country We have
noticed very many errors in fence building nor is the
scarcity Of timber any p~alliation of the error. In build.
;ne rail fences, care should be taken never to lay a rail
upon the ground, when a small block would raise the
fence in height, and preserve the lower rail from decay.
TO secure permaaence and beauty the rails should be OF
equal length, and lap at the junction eight inches; the
fence should be made straight, and the stakes should
stand at equal distances from the fence, and the largest
rails be put upon the top to serve for pressing the stakes
against the fence, and therefore securing stability In
building post and board fences there arc several things
10 be guarded against. We should be careful to know
that We are putting them in places whence VIC shall not
daa;;re their removal. 1t would be well to make all
boundary fences Of posts and boards, or posts aud bars.
The last kind mentioned are durable fences. DO not
put a part in the ground that is ~decayed, or one that IL
cut from the smaller branches of the tree. 1t you do,
YOU may rest assured that in d year or two the fence
will need repairing, and time aud labor and money must
be expended in repairs. Avoid if possible popple or
soft maple posts, as they decay in u short time, hardly
paying the cost of putting them in, besides in a meas
ure destroying the lumber that is put OH them. 1t Is
said by old farmers--the experience Of whom We must
pay Difference to-that q post should always be placed
with the top end in the ground, if we would secure a
more lasting fence; this opinion VIC think is universal.
These remarks On fence building may be objected to
by many asserting they have not the facilities--the
timber or the means-to build so good fences. There
are truly exceptions, but few in Dakota County. But
there are many who have good timber, oak and black
ash. who commit the error Of which / write. 1t is evil
dent to the mind of every one who expects to lay OF
his farm in order that good fences are necessary, ana
what is worth doing at all is worth doing well, and fit
be possible to fence, the FIRST year, a few acres only, 1t
ought to be we'll done, and time will show that money
has been made by the operation. There is, IN Dakota
County, a large quantity Of the best oak timber, tor
posts, and If we choose, during the long winters, may
1T them for bars, and thus save pine or maple lumber ;
or if we are able to purchase the lumber, we will lind a
post and board fence, superior in every respect to a rail
fence. But enough of this.
