When the Legislature of Virginia voted to
embark So, 100000 of the people, money 10 the
Va and Tenn. r. R., it was upon the express
condition that the road should be preserved as
trunk line," and that no discrimination
should be made against connecting roads lead
ing ito any market whatsoever. The argu-
ment in favor of the Consolidation bill is that
this Va and Tenn. road intended to be for the
use of all portions of the State, must be manag-
ed in the interest of roads leading to Norfolk
City, or more properly speaking, in the interest
Of the Steamship Company plying between
Norfolk and New York, and against all other
State interests.
Millions of the people money have been vo-
ted away to enable a new company to discrimi-
nate against northslde roads in violation of the
express understanding when the States money
was invested in the road, and yet we fiud V al
ley editors approving the measure. Not only
are the people of Northern Virginia to be denied
the free and equal use of this Va. 4 Tenn. road,
but they are to be taxed forever to pay the in
terest on the So, 300, 900 which the Legislature
has recklessly surrendered without equivalent.

Washing The Stems Of Fruit Tees.

The bark of fruit trees lives for sew
eral years. In the apple we do not
know exactly. but We believe about
six. Annually new bark is formed
next the wood, and consequently the
outside bark of six year-old tree
was formed six years before. After
six years (about this, the bark dies
and forms what is called rough OIL
dead bark, and this rough or dead
bark on many years, getting thicker
and thicker from the under side, will
each years accumulationsL
Writers on tree washes make nc
distintion between the diflerant stages
hense apparent contradictions are
common, which the reader cannot re.
concile. For instance, n corrcspon.
dent of the Canada Farmer says he
nearly ruined his orchard by washing
the trees with soap-suds as strong as HI
could make it, and put ing on abou
half pail full to the tree, and a neigh
Dor killed his trees by putting soap
grease upon them to keep sheep from
gnawing the bark.
This was no doubt put on young
smooth, live bark, which it would n,
doubt injure. He who had recon-
mended it had no doubt tried it OF
old trees with rough bark, to which i
would be a benefit. These little fact.

Gave the Corn Fodder,

We have long been Of the opinion
that there was not that attention paid
to the curing and saving of the corn
fodder that its value demanded. Ev-
cry good farmer must know that cat
tie eat it greedily through the winter,
and If cut and steamed it is as good
for them as the best of hay and real
ly more milk-produeing.
Where is the necessity of allowing
it to remain in shocks until the mid.
die or end of November? Corn should
not be cut down until the stalks arc
dying and the grain is pretty hard,
and then it should remain no longer
in the field than is absolutely neces-
sary for the drying of the grain. l.
should be husked rs early as possible
and the fodder tied up in bundles and
either carefully stacked near the cat.
Gle stables or put under shelter ii
sheds,
1t is well known, too, that horses
prefer it to the best hay also tina

How to Make Farming Attractive and
Profitable.

The necessity and advantages OF
keeping strict account of farming
operations seems to be but little ur-
!erstood by farmers, or if understood,
they often feel wearied by the cares
aud tolls of the day. and after short
.rial neglect this most necessary duty
licfore they have even realized any of
The benefits to be derived from it, in
The spring of 1858 | determined to
acc if there were any advantages to be
derived from keeping debt and cred
t account of my farming also an ac-
count of my family expenses, and the
'lates and time when crops arrived at
maturity, and would say that since
that time | have continued that prac-
tice
Many will say they have not the
time, that it may do we'll enough for
those who are able to hire their work
d me, etc but let me say that | con-
d Ter the time spent in keeping these
accounts as the most profitable, in
many points of view, of any of my
hours Of labor.
The first year | found that to raise
an acre of potatoes, cost me, inclu'
ding seed, $24, and that | received
from them SOS. The next year put
the same acre to Tobacco, and found,
instead ola profit ofSl5, a profit, abo, c
expenses ofmanurc and labor, of S194,
and my land left in far better condition
than after my crop of potatoes.
found, in 1865. that my profit on my
corn was only s Z per acre, while al
acre of cabbages gave me nett profit,
above marketing and all expenses, OF
$2l2. Now, if I had kept no account
of those crops, | should have known
that my tobacco and cabbages paid me
better than corn and potatoes. but
should not have realized how much
better; neither would | have known
just what percentage my load of ma.
nure, which | had purchased, paid me,
Since | first began TO keep farm &C
counts, am fully satisfied that | have

it was mainly due to this practice.
have been enabled by this means
do what every farmer ought to strive
TO do, that is, To improve his farm, t.
beautify his home, and 60 make home
aplace where his children will delight
to stay, where happiness and content
ment will reign supreme.
How many farmers neglect to max,
no ne the paradise they might, feeling
themselves too poor to surround thcil
places with neat fences and flowers
and things to crafty the taste and en-
large the mind. Is it any wonder
that their children, as they grow up
leave for some more congeniaf employ
ment, or some more pleasant home
many of them falling into vice anC
ruin which might have heen avoided
had their parents made home attrac
tive, and the cultivation of the soil {
delightful occupation Gas it might be
instead OF drudgery and hardship.
Let all hope through the inAuenc,
arising from free Interchange o
ideas, and from the publication o
such papers as the Boston CUiiirdtor
devoted to progress and Improvement
that farming may, MS it should, tax,
rank among the most ennobling pur
suits IN life.-H. II. WALLER, in Bos
