PLANT TREES !
t.a-t Spring, we dwelt on the importance
of planting trees and shrubs for frun and shade'
and ornament, at the risk of makinc the tonic
a bore to many of our readers. We do not
. know whether it had much good effect ; evid -
entiy, however, there is more doing around us
id lhat line, at nresent. than nsuaL and as the
planting season is not jret quae gone, we can
not fee. our conscience clear without repeat-
ing the exhortatieu. Plant Trees ! If every
.... ,, -.
tenement in this borough could now have eon -
nected with it even one additional fruit tree of
, j
an equal ouuay 01 money ana urac in any
other way, and an inestimable resource would
be provided for the physical and moral welfare
of ourselves and our children. We ,re firmly

has made an experiment iu potatoe cul- j gAM's Last Mission. One of our K.
ture, which your reders will, I think, fiud , pro.s!avery exchanges, two years ago
useful. He says, "The amount of seed j wa9 proclaiming that "Sam's mission" was
used in pi mting, in order to produce the j 0 rawe tQe )anj from the wicked old Pope
: greatest yield, has been to me for some o pwl)Iue. l,lst h)lt it was only desirous

none too small, others fifteen, and some -KUy preaching that Sam'a great work is
; even go so high as twenty bushels. But 1 t(J our hIlltSed Union stick together !
from a series of experiments lor several
years past, I am convinced that in this
small county there is annually a waste or
throwing away in seed of no less than ten
tbousaud bushels. In the year 1347, an
' experiment was made by me which has
