How TO Grow Trees from Seed.

"Will you, or some Of your Correspon-
dents, give me correct way Of grow
ing peach and cherry pits How to
freeze, and how long, pear, ounce and
apple seed before planting, and how deep,
and at what time to put in the ground
How to grow chestnuts and horse chest
nuts? The best plan to start grapes
from cuttings7 Will Arborvitae, Hem
lock and Spruce seed grow, sown in the
spring BY answering the above be-
fore planting time you will Oblige. r."
Peach and cherry pits should be kept
moist or fresh-wilh cherry pits this is
very important; a few weeks drying will
render them nearly worthless, and dur
ing a shorter time may prolong their
vegetation a year. They should imme-
diately on taking from the berry, be
mixed with moist sand, earth or mould,
and kept moist. They may be planted
late in autumn, or very early in the
spring. If planted in autumn, the soil
should be quite light, to prevent the for
nation of hard crust. which will retard
their coming up. Peach stones should
not be allowed to dry more than three or
four weeks. Exposure to frost only serves
TO crack and open the she'll of any seed.
If kept properly moist, and the she'll is
cracked, freezing is not essential. When
apple seed or peach stones, have beenal-
lowed to became very dry, quick scaId'
ing, and then freezing, several times re-
peated, will much assist vegetatation.-
Pear, Ounce, and Apple seed are quite
similar, and should be treated allke-be-
ing planted half an inch deep, in moist
strong soil. and an inch in light Soils
Peach pits should be planted NEARLY Two
inches deep-and deeper rather than to
allow them to dry up in dry soil. Chest
nuts and horse-chestnuts should not dry
day-but the fresh and moist nut, the
moment it drops from the tree, placed In
moist sand or mould, and kept moist tili
planted. If this care is observed, there
will be no difficulty whatever. Other
wise, they Will certainly fail. Grape
cuttings should be about a foot long, Of
one years growth, placed sloping in the
soil. and the earth packed closely, or
beaten about them. It should be done
very early in spring, or still better, in
autumn-and projected by a thin coat Of
fine manure spread on the surface. Ever.
green seed, if good, viii grow when they
are sowed in the spring, but the young
plant must be shaded from the hot sun.

and otherwise attended to, as occasion
required. In about ten days the scion
began 20 sprout, and soon commenced
growing finely. At the end Of March il

fruit stems. II continued to grow quite
vigorously until May, when l setGt out

the trellis, into which the box was placed,
after the bottom had been carefully I'M

box even with that OF the outside. The
box was then raised out Of the ground,
and the earth was then adjusted about

Primary reaching,


But it may be objected that children
are sent TO primary schools TO learn their
A B @, not 70 spend their time upon OBJ
jeet lessons. The reply is, that not only
is all the information and all the disci-
pine acquired in that way, clear gam,
bat the alphabet, and all the rudiments of
books taught by the old method can be
and are mastered in much less time, and
also with vastly more pleasure and ease,
thar when the latter are the exclusive
studies Of the primary schools. The
mind is relieved, refreshed, BY the IN
terest and pleasure ezoited by the object
lessons, and returns 10 the alphabet or
book with tenfold rest and spirit. and viii
accomplish in five minutes, more than
it would have done in half an hour with
out the relaxation. and far more thorough-
ly. The idea of expecting children.who
cannot read, or who do not even know
their letters, to ''study is simply alb
surd. They do not know how TO study
they have no command of the necessary
means and agencies. We might as well
place all the tools Of carpenter before
an apprentice who has just entered the
shop to learn his trade, and tell him to
go TO work, as to place book with the
twenty-sIx letters of the alphabet, in the
hands of a child and tell him TO keep
still and study. 1t is absurd, How can
he study? how will he get about it? He
may be compelled to sit still and keep
bis eyes upon his book, but he might as
well have his feet in the stocks and his
eyes upon the moon. He could study as
well with the book shut and his eyes on
the cover, and with much less danger
to his eyes and-to his book. And as
to requiring the child to keep perfectly
still when he has nothing to do, it is DIFF
fcult to avoid the use of strong language
against snch folly and cruelty. All that
the little martyr can do is to 60 to sleep,
and even this refuge is usually denied
him. If there are degrees In human fol-
ly, surely that must be in the superlative
which would shut up troop of little chill
dren in close room six hours day, and
compel them to be perfectly still, on pain
Of chastisement, when there is not a sim
gle thing for them to do--nothlng to in

The Potato Disease.

A correspondent of the Bristol Times
draws attention to method employed in
Russia TO prevent the disease. Professor
BoIlman of St. Petersburg planted some
potatoes which had been accidentally
dried near a stove till they were so great
" shrivelIed that it was thought they
would be quite useless for seed. They
grew, however, and while all the other
potatoes in the neighborhood were much
diseased. these remained sound. The
professor afterwards adopted the princi-
pie of drying his seed potatoes at high
temperature. and the plan has never fail
ed. His example was followed by a
number of other persons, with the same
success; and on many estates drying
houses have now been built to carry on
the process. 1t is said that the progress
ef the disease on pototoes partially at
tackled is completely checked by the heat,
The experiment is very simple, and it has
this adsantage-it may be tested without
trouble or loss.

Written for the Nebraska Farmer.
Growing Hemp I'm Nebraska.

It is a fact which cannot fail to meet
the eye of the observer as he travels over
the vacant plains of this Territory that
its agricultural interests are greatly de-
pressed. Our country is new, our farmers
are generally poor and unable to cultivate
their farms either economically or profit
ably; the seasons have been unfavorable,
and we might add, the farmers generally
are discouraged, and many of them en-
.er,ain serious doubts as to the adaptation
of the soil and climate Of Nebraska to
farming purposes. We are satisfied,
however, that there is a way to better cir
cumstances and brighten prospects, if we
only have the requisite knowledge to fpd
it, and the patience, nerve and perse-
verance to pursue it to Ultimate success.
That way runs in the direction Of close
economy, and the largest income from the
smallest outlay. We must produce sOme-
thing whose cash outlay is within our
reach in the depressed condition Of our
finances, and something that will yield a
fare compensation for our toll.
In casting about for something to meet
the exigencies Of our condition our mind
has settled on Hemp as afording encour-
agement and hope to the farmer. In de-
Gliding this question a number Of c0nside-
rations are 10 be taken into account: Is
our soil adapted to its growth7 ? Is the
outlay of the crop in the reach Of Ne
braska farmers! VIII its yield surpass
that Of other crops? Is the market cer-
tain and win the price pay? These ques-
tions we will consider separately.

Spare The Birds.
iEWith sonorons notes

Of every tone mixed In confusion sweet,

the plowshare rolls them up to view of
these insect-catchers, that will ever be
found to follow in the wake of the plow-
man.
Spare, then, the birds, say we They
may gather up few grains Of your seed,
but they will save you ten to one that the
worms would destroy. 1t is cruel to de-
troy the birds, when they come as the
friends of the farmer What music so
sweet to the ear at early morn, as
the gentle lark, weary of rest,
From his moist cabinet mounts upon high,
And wakes the morning, from whose silvery breast
The sun ariseth in majesty
Then "spare the birds" Read what
Audubon says of the immense number of
insects found IN the craw of a single wren,
a thrush, or a robin. Farmers should pro-
tect small birds. They are much cheaper
than insect-powders.
The following birds may be classed as
great insect-destroyers, and should be re-
membered as the friends Of the farmer
and gardener King bird, WhiP-poor-
will, Cuckoo, Woodpecker, Martin, Chin

Meadow-thresher, Ground bird, Rice

Small Owl, Night-hawk Sparrow, Thrush,
Hapg-bird, Black-bird, with several more.
These, if cared for and protected, not
only remove insects from the earth and
trees, but from Towering plants and vines
around the dwelling, and build their nests
amid the fragrant roses to encircle your
windows. They will richly repay you
for all your care and protection. They
will sing you a sweet lullaby as you 90 to
rest, and wake you with their morning
hymns, until your higher nature shall say +:
HBird Of the dewy morn
How oft thy heavenWard lay
Floats up where life and light are born,
Around the rosy day."
"a free wild spirit unto thee is given,
Bright minstrel Of the blue celestial dome
For thou wilt wander to yon upper heaven,
And bsthe thy plumage in the sunbeams home;
And, soaring upward from thy dizzy hight
On free and fearless wing, be lost to human sight
