OVEK-CROI'IMNG. From the Germantown Telegraph. MR. EDITOR:— This is one of the great errors in American agriculture. Thousands of farmers— hard working and industrious men—have been hopelessly impoverished by it; and yet, so powerful is the force of cus tom that a vast many, with their eyes wide open to the fact, and with the fatal experi ence of their predecessors and neighbors pal pably exhibited for their admonition and di rection, continue the same ruinous practices, and of consequence must, in r. short time, realize the same unhappy results. When we cast our eyes abroad over the surface of our fair State, blessed in an eminent degree with every natural advantage, and possessing with in itself all the elements of wealth and hap piness, and contemplate the influence this insane practice has exerted in retarding the development of her resources and her prog ress to prosperity, we can with difficulty sup press an ejaculation of surprise at the strange hallucination which appears to have taken possession of the popular mind! Nor is it at all to be wondered at, considering the policy which has been adopted in cropping our cul tivated lands, that the mournful declarations, "My lands are running out," and "My crops are annually diminishing," should assail us on every hand. Nature, like an indulgent parent, wearied by continual solicitations and ceaseless importunities, has, at length, closed her generous hand, and now refuses the un grateful supplicant a longer continuance of favors hitherto so munificently afforded with only a nominal and by no means a fair equiv alent in return. It would seem, indeed, us though a majority of our farmers regarded it as feasible to adopt the same policy in their agricultural transactions with Dame Nature which so extensively prevailed during the mania of the land speculation, viz: The Credit System; and that, so long as they can maintain the reputation of extensive opera tors," and point exnltingly to their wide spread domains, they have nothing to fear or apprehend. But this will not do. The supervision of the old lady's exchequer is conducted on no half-way principles, and her laws, though for a time aud under certain circumstances susceptible of shameful per version, are not to be annulled. There will come a day of reckoning for the delinquent, and the rod of retributive justice, though he may escape its infliction for a time, will over take him at last. It is the late of every human enterprise to be attended and environed with difficulties: and from this law agricultural pursuits are by no means exempt. One of the most promi nent obstacles in the way of the farmer, is the low estimate some put upon his noble calling. Physical power, mere brnte force, is, by ma ny, regarded as the only requisite. It is con sidered a desecration and want of intellect to apply it to agriculture. In the practice of over-cropping, we recognize one of the results of non-edacation, for no intelligent man will adopt so absurd a method of extorting sub sistence from the soil, for he can cast his vision forward, in advance of the present, and anticipate the consequences. He is ful ly aware that to regard present gains, un mindful of future profits, is suicidal as well as absurd. The man who desires to thrive by agriculture, must strive to increase, not to diminish the productive capacity of his lands; in a word, he must reverse the popular poli cy and give to the soil more than he takes from it. The man who spends not only his interest but a certain portion of his principal every year, will never become any richer from his investments. Another seriocs hindrance in the way of the advancement of agriculture, is the culti vation of too much land. Were the fanner to expend his energies and manure on one fourth the surface he now endeavors to culti tivate, he would soon find both his condition and his soil improving; he would rarely be compelled to complain of short crops, and could realize the same results with one-half the effort he is now compelled to pat forth, and with far greater certainty of success in every department. A snug, compact farm which is easily enclosed and easily watched, with everything neat and in good order, is certainly far more desirable than a large, un productive homestead which does not defray the expense of carrying it on, and when heav y outlays are demanded to defray the ex pense of the frequent repairs required. Oar farmers should think seriously of these mat ters; it is certainly for their interest to do so, and the day will come when they will be made sensible of the fact, but it may come too late. The example set us by the English and Irish peasantry shonld be an admonition to us in this particular, for it shows what may be ac complished by expending capital and labor on even limited extents of surface. FRANCOXIA. Montgomery County, July 9, 1867. UNFRUITFUL ORCHARDS. We know of many young apple orebards in Western New York, which are of sufficient age, and the trees of sufficient size, to bear remunerative crops of fruit; yet the owners and cultivators of them, as yet, have receiv ed no adequate return for the labor and ex pense incurred in establishing them. What is the reason? Is it because the varieties cul tivated are of unfruitful habit until tney ar rive at the mature age? or has the growth of wood, induced by the fertility of the soil and the system of pruning adopted, been so great as to preclude the bearing of fruit? Doubt less to some extent both reasons are good, but chiefly, we think, the excessive growth of wood precludes the attainment of fair crops of fruit. Onr cultivators, as a class, practise but lit tle that system of pruning which is adapted to bring a tree into a bearing condition. They are usually content when the orchard makes a good growth of wood and apples healthy and vigorous, thinking that in the future the reward will coine in proportion to the amount of wood grown. If the trees are large, they must at some time produce large quantities of fruit. Perhaps so; but it is weary waiting, and "a bird in hand is worth two in the bash." And we think a majority would much prefer moderate crops of fruit as soon as the trees attain sufficient size to support their weight without injury; and we think, also, if such crops can be grown, it will be better for the interest of the fruit grower, and no detri ment to his orchard. We do not advise over cropping in any case, if it is possible, but reasonable and moderate production. Now, it is a fact that apple trees may be forced in moderate bearing at a very early stage of their growth, by pruning, and we advise owners of thrifty young orchards to avail themselves of this art, and cause them to produce some fruit. "Prune in the winter for wood and in the summer for fruit." is an anxiom, and let us act upon it. Pinch the growing shoots on a tree in the summer, bend down the branches, thrust down the sharp spade into the ground and sever the roots — in short, aim to check the circulation of sap, making the growth less vigorous, and fruit bnds and spurs will be produced and fruit will grow. Aim at the life of the tree, and straightway it produces fruit and seed that its kind may not perish from the ei-rth. This is care, and not hard labor; the work must be done in the summer, when other farming op erations demand attention, but the orchard ist who does it faithfully and will find his reward.— Mural New Yorker. No TUNE, it is said, is so popular, yet so hard to catch, as fortune. No AII was probably the first person who went to sea lor fear of being drowned. THE man who "couldn't stand it any lon ger" has taken a seat, and now feels quite comfortable. A CHINESE thief having stolen a missiona ry's watch, brought it back to him the next day to be shown how to wind it up. THERE is a whole sermon in the saying of the Persian: "In all quarrels leave open the door of reconciliation. ' We should never forget it. - w ♦ "KATY, have you laid the table cloth and plates yet?" "An' sure, I have, mem— ev erything but the eggs; aud isn't that Biddy's work?" "I WONDER," said a Scotch maiden, 'what my brother John sees in the lasses that be likes them sae well; for my part I wad nae gie the company o' one lad for twenty lasses." A FEMALE school teacher, in her adver tisement, stated that she was "complete mis tress of her own tongue." "If that's the case," said a caustic old bachelor, "she can't ask too much for her services." "WHEN WAS ROME BUILT?" inquired a school inspector. "In the night, sir," was the rea dy reply. "In the night," said he, "how do you make that out?" "Why, sir, you know Rome wasn't built in a day." COVENTRY PATMORE gives the following advice: "So let no man, in desperate mood, Wed a dull girl, because she's good." To which one might add: "And let no woman, in her plight, Wed a bad man because he's bright." WEDDEBUURX once asked Sheridan how he had got rid of his Irish brogue, as he wished to get rid of his Scotch accent. "My dear fellow," said Sheridan, "don't attempt such a thing. The House listens to you now, be cause they don't understand you; but if you become intelligible, they will be able to take your measure." As the afternoon way train was coming from Baltimore, recently, the brakesman, calling the names of way stations, shouted out in explosive tones, "Jessup's Cut!" "Was he hurt much?" inquired a demure looking passenger; whereupon there was a general laugb, and the brakesman, opening another car, called out, in a lower key, "Jes sup's Cut! " DIDN'T vou tell me you could hold the plough?" said a farmer to an Irishman he had taken on trial. "Be aisy, now," said Pat; "how could I hould it an' two horses pullin' it away? Just stop the craytures and I'll hould it for ye." A CLERGYMAN gave the following toast, that was not very gallant, at a late firemen's cele bration: "Our fire engines—may they be like old maids—ever ready, but never wanted." A YOUNG man called at the City Clerk's of fice a day or two since, and asked for a "detth warrant." The astonished clerk as sured him that he dealt in no such docu ments. "Well," said the fellow, "give us a marriage certificate, it amounts to the same thing." We hope that youth will catch a Tartar. A FARMER wrote as follows to a distinguish ed scientific agriculturist, to whom he felt under obligations for introducing a variety of swine: "Respected sir—l went yesterday to the cattle show, I found several pigs of your species. There was a great variety of hogs, and I was astonished at not seeing you there." AN IRISHMAN called on a lady and gentle man, in whose employ he was, for the purpose of getting some tea and tobacco. "I had a Jrame last night, yer honor," said he to the gentleman. "What is it, Pat?" "Why, I dramed that yer honor made me a present of a plug of tobaccy, and her lady ship there—Heaven bless her—gave me some tay for the good wife." "Ah, Pat, dreams go by contraries, you know," said the gentleman. "Faith, and they may that," said Pat, "so her ladyship is to give the tobaccy and his honor the tay. A PERSON having an ass to go by train from North Shields, sent it to the goods station for Newcastle. The porters were placing it in a van, when a fop asked what they charg ed for taking the animal? "Ninepence, sir," was the reply. "And pray, my good fellow, what do you charge for a donkey?" inquired the fop. "Sir." rejoined the porter, "you know what you paid for your ticket."
