A,GRICUJ; TURA L.
PLANT TREES.
Franklin county is shamefully deficient
in Trait. It has excellent 'soil'for every
variety' of apples, peaches. eheriies, pears,
grapes; ece.", and yet seargelione farm in
twenty has even a respectable orchard,
mue s li less a well cultivated assortment of
. the delicious fruits which invite the favor
'of the' husbandinan. Some of our low,
heavy limestone lands are not well adapt
ed to Peaches, grapes, and the other more
delicate fruits; but even such soil will
well repay the owner for the careful plant
ing and culture of apples, cherries and
pears. It will require a little more care
and labor in setting the trees out so that
the heavy clay does not arrest the prog
ress of their roots and thus destroy their
vigor; but there_ is scarcely a dry acre of
land in the county upon which a greater
or less variety of fruit cannot be gown
to pay well for the labor and outlay.
But while we have some lands which
„requite more than ordinary labor to cul
tivate fruit successfully, three-fourths of
the farms in this comity' have land that is
admirably adapted to fruit. There are
Scores of thin slate farms in the western
and northern part of the county -which
would raise the very best of peaches,
grapes; pears, cherries and apples, and
ten acres thus devoted would, in a few
yeais, remunerate the farmer better than
all the rest of the farm, if attended to
with only ordinary care and intelligence.
But if men bny indifferent trees because
they are cheap, stick them into narrow;
shallow holes, and allow them to grow
sprouts, and to become the prey of worms,
of course fruit Will not pay. Very many
fanners will care well for their corn, wheat,
potatoes and other crops, and allow even
good fruit trees to care for themselves,
and they conclude that fruit does not do
well for them. The result is that Frank
lin county has little or no fruit after New
Year, and patronizes New York for ap
ples from that time until the apple mar
ket closes.
We do earnestly urge the people of the
Southern coantiesto resolveupon systema
tic and liberal fruit' culture. Every farm
house should have an assortment of the
better class of fruits about it. Dwarf pears
and cherries, apricots, nectarines, plums,
Ace. may be planted about the house and
through the garden and add 'comeliness
to grounds, and bring rich rewards to the
fallies. Dwarf pears may be planted
aro nd the outer edge of all the garden
beds, without interfering with the culture
of vegetables ; and they have the impor
tant merit of yielding fruit the year after
they are planted, while the standard pear
does not fruit well for ten years. Every
garden should also have a strawberry bed.
One twenty feet square, if reasonably
cared for, will supply an ordinary family
-with an abundance of this delicious fruit,
and the cost of the best plants for that
amount of ground will not exceed ten
dollars. They need but to be plucked of
runners occasionally, and covered with
leaves or light manure in the fall, and for
five years they will yield immensely.
Raspberries and blackberries afso well
repay the little cultivation they require,
and the stocks multiply with wonderful
rapidity.
The household is to be pitied 'that does
not have grape vines about it. The
grape is a most delicious•aud useful fruit;
can be preserved at so little cost; multi
plies its stocks so rapidly, and exacts so
little in the way of labor, that it is inex
eisahle to be without it. Those who
have the ground to spare should cultivate
it with are--it *ill well repay them ;
and those who have but a spare corner
about the house or stable should plant a
vine in it. 'lt will grow and increase in
its yield from year to year. if simply
pruned of its surplus Wood, and gives a
most bountiful return for all it costs or
requires. .
• Apples, peaches, cherries and pears are
almost wholly neglected in the southern
tier of counties- True here and there we
find a man Who has .good fruit; but the
supply is not at all equal to the demand.
If Franklin county raised forty times the
fruit it doeti, our people would consume
the greater portion of it, - and they would
be all the better therefor, while the
gratification afforded would be incalcula
ble:- That fruits are essential to health
among. all classes and conditions of life,
there Can be no reasonable doubt. The
statistics Of health show the highest de
gree of bodily Vigor in the best fruit
gronling countridthe least drunken-
Less is found ,where wine is so abundant,
from the general culture of the grape, that

We believe Aliat more fruit has, been
planted this spring in this State than in
any previons three years. Our adviees
from the lth.dinguarsery men are that the
demand has never been so large in. any
season. A thousand good. young peaeli
trees for pyinting could .seareely be had
from any ,nursery South of the 'ils(pie-
Varna , and the demand for grapes has }wen
beyond-all .precedent, Klink., of Pitts,
lateg,.the most extensive dealer in the
West, .infcrms us that he has not been
able to fill his orders, and we have like
information from other idealers. We-
sre
juice at this evidence of progiess, aud re
gret that Franklin is not'more conspirt
ons in it. Muchmore than usual is kiwi
planted here this spring; bntit should be
ten or twenty-foldgreater still. We have
several valuable nurseries in - the county.
Heyser, Ryder and Martin are all careful
and experienced dealers, and both Adams
and Cumberland have excellent nurseries
also. Deal - with these men,.because they
are honest. If they happen not to hake
what you want, they can get it for you
better than you can get it for yourself;
and above all turn out every itinerant
fruit pedlar who comes from distant
States. We do not say that all such are
dishonest; but we do say that pretty
nearly if not quite all dishonest dealers of
fruit are of that class.
—Let every man turn his attention to
the culture of fruit according to his means.
Let every man and every boy plant
trees—the best trees they can get, and
keep planting from year to year. , They
not only beautify out-fields and lots with
Natures richest offerings; but they min
ister most gratefully to the wants of man.
THE CIILTERE 'OF CORN.
In cultivating a field of Corn a farmer
should have two objects in ig4vv, viz; the
production of as large a yield of grain as
the condition of the ground will admit of.
and the extermination of grasses and nox
ions weeds. The majority of fiumers
admit that deep and thorough 'tillage 01
the ground are essential to the raising
of a large and remunerating crop of Corn
Corn plants are expected to groW rapidly
and vigorously, throughout the months of
July and August, a season of the year b 3
no means the most favorable to the= ad
vancement of vegetation. Theseplantr
require for their proper developement
considerable degree of heat and moisture.
Both of these requisites must be derived
from the atmosphere.. But that they may
reach the roots of the plants and be niost
beneficial to them, it is necessary that tin
ground should be in such a condition a:
to allow them to penetrate it, be retained.
and supplied to the roots - as required by,
their wants, neither in excess or deficency.
The condition o f ground favorable to
meeting these demands upon it is dee'
and thorough pulverization. The rains
then pass deep into the soil and are slowly
evaporated. The roots of the plant:-
compose a net-work, filling the• soil ar
deep as plowed, constantly' pumping tri
moisture from it.
The rains cannot readily penetrate the
ground when shallowly plowed; for a
shorttizne water is in excess injuring thi
plants, succeeded by rapid evaporation.
exhansting the supply.
Our farmers aie accustomed to stir the
ground several times during the early
growth of the plants. This not only
serves to keep the ground loose s but ac
complishes the second object, the culti.
vator is supposed to have in view—the
distraction of grass and weeds. But in
plowing deep enough to eradicate the
weeds, the farmer frequently, especially
in a dry season, seriously injures - the
Corn plants and materhdly diminishes his
crop of grain by tearing away the mas:
of roots previously, alluded to. .Now the
question arises, can not the necessity foi
deep stirring of the soil in cultivating the
crop be obviated by thorough and deel•
plowing and the pulverization of the soil
by . harrowing, stirring and re-harrowing
previous to planting? By this process
the ground will be more thoroughly tilled.
the weeds and grasses more effectuall
destroyed and in less time than can be
done by cultivation subsequent to the
appearance sof the plants, and the lacera
tion of the roots of the plants is avoided.
A field thus tilled will require very super
ficial cultivation to preserve it through
out the season free from weeds, and suffi
ciently open to the admission of rain and
