cate problems that have been evolved by
the radical and fundamental changes in
tho whole southern system and which are
thrust upon us for solution the labor
question of the country is incomparably

ResolDcd. Thnt it is the dnty of plant.
ers to offer their late slaves liberal. con,
pensation for their labor, SO os to enable
them to live in comfort. Is:
That the interest of the community
requires the immediate Dismissal of such

That it is The sense OF this meeting

That the military authorities of this

How I Plcw.

Suppose the field to be fifty by thirty-two
rods-and plow land should never be in
smaller than two-acre fields-l plow it by
commencing in the middle with furrow
eighteen rods long, and parallel to the long
est sides, the ends of the furrow being at
equal distances from the shortest Sides
Then back furrow or turn around to the
right, making the first two burrows two
inches shallower than the others, to avoid
ridge After four burrows, plow across
the ends, and the work is laid out If the
land is uneven,o or the soil not uniform, some
care is necessary to keep the furrow straight
and bring the work out alike on all sides.
The advantages of this method are that the
team and plowman turn on the unplowed
land, saving time and strength, and leaving
no land trodden after it is plowed. 1t also
does away with the necessity Of furrows
and ridges, which are serious detriment
to the use of machines
In the place of coulter | use a iOinter,
or miniature plane, which cuts two inches
deep, or more or less, as desired, and puts
the stubble or sward completely out of
sight, facilitating its decay. The little join
ter furrow, under the main furrow, tends to
brace it up and keep the ground more loose,
while it leaves the surface i'll a condition
requiring much less tillage than ordinary
blowing to fit it for crop.
But tie Improvement that pleases us most
is the patent sub-soil attachment. 1t loos-
ems the ground in the bottom of the furrow
to any depth desired, if the character Of the
soil and the strength Of the team permit
This accomplishes all the sub-soil plow does
with a great saving of expense. 1t is sub
soiling made easy or at least easier.
do most of my blowing with three hor-
seB abreast 1t is claimed, and l think truly
that three horses in this way are equal to
four where the team is hitched ahead Of one
another, which requires an extra hand for
driver Many plows are now made with a
movable beam, by which the width Of the
furrow is guaged instead Of by the clevis,
thus securing as nice working of the plOw
with three horses as with two, and requir-
ing no extra labor on the part of the plow-
man. For my own comfort | would rather
plow two and threefOurth acres with three
| horses, than two acres with two-thirds the
strength of team. 1t is much less tiresome
plowing when the team moves off easily
and with comparatively little strain, than
when they must pull hard at every step.
The use of the sub-soiler is an experiment.
and when the result is manifest in another
years crop. will make it known--L S., in

PRUNING TREEs.-It is a practice with
many farmers to prune their trees during
the winter, or in early spring months, and
many probably do not stop to consider the
results. A little study of tree philosophy
will show the cutting away of limbs during
the season of repose will give the tree an
excess of growth during the coming season,
because of the less number of buds to be
supplied early in the season, and therefore
their more rapid development and elonga-
tion of wood during early summer, or the
growing season.
Trees, therefore, that are wanted to be
kept in vigorous, growing state,i is well
to prune at this season but if bringing
them into bearing is the object sought, then
the pruning should be delayed until July,
when the evaporation is great, and the tree
is formed its increased size of limb. and
storing up food in the bud for mother sea
son. If the water shoots, crossing trunks
&c., are taken out, the remaining buds are
supplied with food that would have been
partially absorbed by those branches cut
away ; and, hence, are more perfectly ri
pened and brought to maturity or bearing
condition. Cutting away large branches
should never be done in the winter season,
because the wood so left hardens all next
to the outer bark, and prevents the forma-
ton of new layers to cover and shield it,
which, if the cut is made early in July, it
will do, and in few years present no ap-
pearance of limb having ever been there.

Old Orchards.

If there is anything that calls forth an
anathema on its owner, it is an old orchard
going to decay, and no young trees to sup
lpy the places Of those about to be consign-
cd to oblivion. Here in Oneida county we
see scores of such orchards, that were
planted so years ago, and now show unmis-
taxable signs of soon passing to that pomo-
logical bourne, whence no fruit trees ever
returns.
The owners of such orchards generally
profess to be men of ordinary common
sense aud some Of them are considered
"sharp" in their Dealings saving every
penny that can be secured on honest prin-
cipleS yet they are SO blind to their own
interests, to the interests of their children
to posterity, as to go down into their
graves, with scarcely a sound apple tree on
their farms ! Such men are not cOmp0s men,
tis-not Of sound mind, or they would not
throw away the opportunity to produce
young orchard of good grated fruit to
come into bearing when the old one should
fail, through age, to produce it's goldenh har-
vests.
Farmer of this class, for what do YOU
live? Is it for wealth Then why were the
young orchards neglected to be planted, in
these days of choice, high priced fruit Do
you live for the enjoyment of the good
things Of this world ? Then how could you
suffer your families to be deprived of an
ample store Of Baldwins, Greetings, Spitz-
enburg, &c ? We tell you plainly that you
are iazHimprorjdent class, and only allow
ed to exist, as tares among wheat
a good way to set a young orchard is to
plow up the old one, and plant it to pota-
toes, and the next spring set young trees
between the old ones, and keep the land
cultivated for several years, till the trees
get good growth, when the old trees cease
to bear fruit proftably, cut them down as
cumbcrers Of the ground.-Er.
