Saying nothing of the economy of painting,
it is an excellent practice TO apply thin

paint always saves much hard labor in
keeping such parts of house clean. Some
doors that are used often, need pain ting
every year, to keep hem at all decent. 1t

these are neAdessly expensive, and after "

One of the wants of the agricultural com
munuy,at flle present upe, is.a good hedge
plant; one tlsAt "a felabin nnder ahioircumf,
stances aud conditions. Nearly every one
that has been tried thus Ear, has exhibited
ammo radical defect, that units il for tho
AhSaEs tliut to liccobms popular, ,nust
be perfectly hardy, and easy to propag ate.
10 should also be vigorous enough to grow
well in ordinary soils without manure. II
should be t,oruy, to keep cattle from hook.
ing h,Sahd sttong onoughto keep pthem from
breaking through it. Finally, ii should be
low enough TO require littleur no pruning
The, common .barberry, (BVberiS VNi.
Qdris) combines these qualities better than
any plant that am acquainted With. The
barbefry Is a native OF the northern part OF
Europe ard Asia but has become thor.
ouyhly naturalized, and Is now found grow.
ing wild III the waste grounds OF New Eng.
land. IL is q remarkably hardy plant,
thriving III a great variety nf soils, aud il
il said to live for centuries. II has shrub
by habit (growing from six TO ten feet IN
high.) yellUwsh thorny wood, lsaves in
IosetteB. yellow ilowera on dropping
rasemes. and scarlet, obloug berries, very
acid. aud making delicious preserves.
We have bar5erry hedge on cur
grohnds at Walingiord Ct, rs rods long
and niue years old, from the seed. Two
rows of plants wei o set, the rows one 70, I
apart, and tho plants one foot apart in the
row, spd set alternately, to break joints.
ThisAiedge has been clipped % little, two
or three times, u keep iteven, and is now
ak or seven feot high, with a irn, compact
base, perfectly impervious to tho smaller
animals, and stout enough to turn ordinary
farm stock, except for a short distance At
one end whore the soil is quite thin.
On oWf gfUuiuls at Oneida, we have a
Burberry hedge 90 rods long, aud seven
years old from the seed. In this case but
oncsrowa was plantei innd the plauts were
set one foot apart. 1t has been kopt e!eau
with the cultivator, and clipped iitlla,
once or rtwlce, aud is now five feet high,
thick and compact at the base, and already
