Age at which the Chestnut Tree
Bears.

Under favorable circumstances,
the chesuut tree comes into bear
ing at3a very early age. A nur>
seyman in Ohio received letters
from various parties, attesting this
fact, and from them 1 make the
following extracts:
II have some trees, six years
old from the nut, that bore last
year. !, Fl. G.. STONE.

There is a beautiful, thrifty
chestnut tree, here on the prarie,
twelve years old, that is bearing
nuts" HENRY K. SMITH,
Magnolia, Putnam Co., I'll.
The chestnut trees, I received
ofk& last Spring, gave entire
satisfaction, some ofthem growing
two feet. There are chestnuts in
this county in bearing six years. "
CHARLES WATERS.

Many persons are deferred
from planting chestnuts by the
supposition that it will take them
fifty years-to come into bearing.

Rousseau, the French philoso

I would turn under again, going
this time from, four to six inches
that is, would never plow land any
deeper than its seil-the FIRST plow-
ing with turning plow; but each
succeeding breaking up, ], would
gradually 60 deeper, until Ireach,
ed the depth, of seven or eight
inches, Which is the maximum
depth I have yet seen done by the
very best plows, plowmen and team
of two and three horses; and if VIC
have weeds, stubble, clover orpeas
to turn under annually when break
ing up, soil can be made deeper
than when we first commenced.
My rule for plowing is, to be
governed entirely by the quantity
of the lands l am going to plow.
If shallow soil, I plow shallow, and
subsoil; and put on the land such
crops as will make the most rub
bish to turn under-and, in time,
field of shallow soil can be deep
ened by judicious plowing and ro'
tation.
1 would never turn up the clay
to the surface if it can be avoided;
and if a field had so little soil I
would break up such lands entirely
with subsoil plows-then sow them
down with small grain, cut stub
bles long, and then turn under as
above described.
There is no implement we use of
80 much importance as the plow;
it is our first and greatest imple-
ment, hence every farmer should
make the plow and plowing his
study; he ought so to understand
it as to be enabled to instruct or
aid the manufacturer in its con:
struction-telling him what he
wants and what is necessary to
make plow perfect. But as tits,
there are SO few farmers who un-
derstand the plow and blowing,
we have been dependent entirely
upon the manufacturer to suit us
in accordance with their own ideas
of what the plow should be, and,
right or wrong in construction, we
find few who know.it. The plow
may break and turn we'll, and the
draft may be too heavy, or the
draft may be light, and the work
Of the plow imperfectly done; also,
the fault sometimes lies in the
gearing in of the beam. But be
the fault where it is, the farmer
should so understand the plow and
gearing in of the same, as to de-
tect the error and point out the
remedy. If not, his plowings are
accidental, whether right or wrong.
In turning lands, it will be no.
ticed that some plows turn the
furrow slice fiat over, or lap on the
principle of shingling. Where the
plow turns over the furrow fiat, |
prefer such a plow for manurial
purposes, that is to turn under
clover, weeds, or stubbles.
But in breaking the ground for
cultivation, and especially for corn,
give me the plow that lodges its
furrow-as, when the burrows are
so lodged and the ground remains
longer loosened and broken-as it
is not so easily run together and
compressed by rains as when the
turning over is fiat.
