ROTTERDAM, Nov. 25, 1867
To tie Edttoy Of The Boston Journal:
10 the tourist or the student Of politi-
cal economy there is no country in Eu-

through industry, there is none Sc -four

1t Is Il garden. A considerable portion of
it is several feet below the level of the sea,
while almost the whole area would be
flooded by the first tide were the sea walls
and dykes to be broken down. BY con-
stant, ceaselcss pumpiug-by the erection
of thousands of windmil!s. the land IS
kept a foot or two above water. Were
there a dead caIm--a stagnation of the
air for a few days. the country would be
aGoat; but the forces Of the natural world
arc pretty evenly balanced, and by ercc,

pumps, the wind is made victorious over
the rain and also the springs
The conception Of the idea OF pumping

animals effected with horn-aile; had used
il quite extensively in his herd, the usual
dose being teaspoOniul given every other
morning for several days. lie spoke Of a
recent case where a COW was very sick and
was like 10 die, which had been cured by
giving copperas ~ above indicated.
Mr. Willard said that preparations of
iron were in common use among medical
men for giving tone and strength 10 the
system. Some veterinarians had prescribed
in their practice copperas (sulphate Of from
both for horses and cows, as Il promoter OF
condition or for strengthening and invigor-
aiing the system where animals are in low
flesh, or had been weakened by disease.
Some had objected 10 the use Of copperas
as iniurions to the stomach and teeth.
Could not say whether there was anything
in this objection. lie reminded the club that
sulphate Of iron in connection with gentian
root was recommended by Professor Nc
Clure, Of Philadelphia, for the trouble
which bad been affecting our herds for
several years past The theory Of Profess
sor Mcclure was that there was a general
debility Of the system among cows liable TO
this trouble, that the iron and gentian root
was a powerful tonic, adding richness 10 the
blood, strengthening the mucous surfaces
and imparting health and strength 10 the
whole system. Doubtless sulphate Of iron
given 10 COWS that we're debilitated, or in a
weakened condition, might, as Mr.. Cole re
marked, operate as tonic and give strength
90 the system. file was not able TO say from
any experience whether the objection re-
ferred to concerning its bad effect on the
teeth or stomach was valid or otherwise.
Had administered sulphate Of iron 10 COWS
in his own dairy and had not observed any
bad effect from lis use. Ga the contrary,
he thought its administration had been
beneficial. Questions Of this kind, however
belonged rather 10 medical men than 10 the
ordinary farmer, since the latter would
not he apt 90 notice the bad effects referred
20 unless they made their appearance inn
mediately OF soon after the use Of the medi-
cine.

ment is made in The practice Of most
owners This is thought 20 be less neces-
sary at the West yet, we observe in a
late number Of the NoTthi0esterR Far
mer a valuable statement from p. SUIT
ton, a correspondent Of that paper, part
Of which is well worthy Of being trans
ferred 10 our columns
In the first place, never SOW any kind Of
grain or plant corn In an orchard if you
do, you will rue il, for il is death to the
thrifty and healiy growth Of young trees.
Plant potatoes, OF some other root crops
among yOur trees, and You will be sur
prised al their growth when compared with
those among which grain crops are grown.
In the fall Of 1865, a man in Luzerne
county, Pa, set out an orchard Of several
acres Of apple trees, among which rye
was grown the following season, and the
result was just as might have been expected,
nearly one-fourth Of the trees died the first
summer, and those that lived made feeble
growth. In the fall of 1857, set out an
orchard containing fifty apple, twelve pear,
and six cherry trees. IL was cropped for
seven OF eight years, with potatoes, aud
the result was the trees made about two
feet growth each year, except in 1863.
This year they bore many apples, and did
not make but about eighteen inches growth.
Some Of the Baldwins had from two and
half TO three bushels Of apples each, wind
falls not included. The pear and cherry
trees did equally as we'll as the apple.
A distant neighbOr bought one hundred
apple trees Of the same lot as mine, and set
them in a sod, and the consequence was,
his trees did not make two feet growth up
TO the above mentioned time, and what was
worse, a large number Of them died, and
the largest tree among them was not large
enough TO bear peck Of apples
| could cite many more instances, in
some Of which the difference between cult
waited and uncultivated, is more prominent
than the above.

enemy, breaks its bands and runs forth to

No longer cease to plant the delicious

they are safe.
