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.

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.

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

A FARMER wrote as follows to a distinguish

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

"Ah, Pat, dreams go by contraries, you

"Faith, and they may that," said Pat, "so

A PERSON having an ass to go by train from

"And pray, my good fellow, what do you

ELECTRIC HAIR RENEWER,
Is pronounced by all who have used it the very
best preparation for the hair. It is a positive cure
for Baldness, eradicates Dandruff and Humors,
stops the Hair from falling out, and speedily res
tores Gray Locks to their original hue and luxu
riance.
It operates on the secretions and fills the glands
with new life and coloring matter. Thin, dead,
faded or gray hair will always be brought back
by a few applications, to its youthful abundance,
vitality and color.
It makes the hair soft, glossy, fragrant, pleas
ant to the touch and easy to arrange. Dry, wiry
and intractable b.cks become moist, pliant and
disposed to remain i . any desired position. As a
Hair Dressing it has no eejual. The sales arc
enormous and it is a uuiversal favorite with old
and young of both exes.
Sold by Druggists throughout the United Stales.

This is no humbug, but a positive fact. Gas

ance with the purifying method of Dr. Strong, of
Now Haven, ''t., and Prof. Siliman (late Professor
of Chemistry in Yale College) he has no hiuita
