Essay on Osage Hedging.
By Stillman StockurM, of Lyons, Iowa.
How to Germinate Osage Seed.
Take a box, say 14 inches square,
fill it with clean sand* take four
quarts of Osage seed, put it into a
small sack, place the sack in the mid
dle of the box ofsand, pour scalding
water into the box until it is full; let
the tt;/er sund in the box one hour,
then diaw ii ofTfrom a hole in the bot
tom, place the box in a warm place;
repeal the process twice every twen
ty-four hours, but not have the water
hotter than you can bear your band
-in after the first lime; follow this pro
cess for three or four days; by that
time the seed if good, will begin to
show sprouts, and time to plant.
Plant your seed in drills 16 inches
apart, one inch apart in the rows;
cover 1 i inches deep in Iresh plowed
ground, pack the dirt with a hoe or
roller; cultivate as you would car~
rots, and if well cultivated they will
grow from two to three feet.
Take up the plants in the fall after
they have done growing, put them in
a cellar, or a hole dug in the ground,
in layers so that the lops of one layer
will cover the roots of the preceding
layer, and so on until you have them
all laid down, then cover the last
layer by putting dirt upon it; if in a
cellar see that they are packed close
so that the roots shall not dry up.
After corn planting is the best time
for setting them; the buds on the live
plants will have started, so it will be
easy to tell the live from the dead
ones.
Prepare your ground by plowing
together six furrows, plowed at leasi
ten inches deep and well pulverized
with a harrow. The proper dis
tance for setting the plants is six
inches, in a straight line. A strong
linen twine is the best line 16 set by;
take a shingle or board that will
measure twelve inches round, wild
your twine around this so that it will
cover the shingle one thickness, then
take black paint or tar and rob on
the edge of the shingle across the
twine and when you draw out your
line to set the plants by, you wiH
have a black spot on the twine once
in six inches. For setting the plants
first cut ofl’lbe tops to within one
inch ot the yellow root; take a piece of
wood 18 inches long, chisel-shaped at
the lower end, one inch wide, place ii
on the end of the root and force it in
to the ground until the top of the plant
comes almost level with the ground;
in this way the roots will be driven
straight into the ground, whereas, if
sel with a dibble, many of the roois
will hit on the side of the hole or otbe
obstruction and be curled up and die
After the plants are set, go through
the line with one foot on each side
and thoroughly pack the ground a
round the plants; the young hedge
should be kept clean cf weeds and
the ground stirred often for the first
season. Before winter sets in plow
a deep furrow on each side of the
hedge, covering as much of the hedge
as possible for a winters protection
Second Year.—Uncover the hedge
carefully with a hoe as soon as the
ground is v. ell thawed out, but not to
trim until it has got well to growing,
then cut to within one inch of the
ground ; plow the ground on each
side of the hedge and Add one furrow
on each side; cultivate as you would
a row of corn through the season, and
if justice is done lo it will grow four
feet high; this winter it will be able
to stand without injury.
Third Year.—Cut to within two
inches of the ground after it has got
well to growing, and continue lo cul
tivate well; this year it ought to have
made a growth ofsix feet, and where
it has done well will turn cattle; add
two furrows to the width of cultiva
tion.
Fourth Year.—Lop the hedge af
ter it has got well to growing to with
in ten inches of the ground, by cut
ting each branch one half off, bend
ing it down as close to the ground as
possible by placing your foot upon it;
will generally split up or down and
lie in the right position, if not, fasten
it down by twisting other branches
around, or fasten it down with
sticks, at any rale make it remain in
a horizontal position, when each
plant will throw up some half dozen
shoots, and in this way you will have
so thicK a hedge that the smallest
bird cannot go through it, and so close
lo the ground that nothing can gel
under it. The great failure of many
in making hedges is they are afraid
to cut it loo close lo the ground, and
commence to make a hedge where
they should leave off, viz: four or five
feet from the ground. Ifjusticehas
been done the hedge, it will this year
make a growth sufficient to stop any
ordinary 6tock, although horses or
cattle might be driven through it, but
rarely the second time. After this
fourth year it should be sheared, sides
and top, and not a flowed to grow
above five feet high, unless for a wind
break.
Remarks.—The Osage Orange is a
native of thh tropics and grows to the
size of 18 inches in diameter, there
fore it has to be dwarfed to a shrub
the plain logrow into a iree should he
stopped by cutting down. Sorpe say
that the best way is to let the hedge
grow tin ill the third year, and then
cut close to the ground, if that is the
case there is no witchery in dwarfing
trees. 1 think the better way is to
cut in June until you have a perfect
hedge, after that it will do to trim in
the fall, hut to trim a young hedge
in the fall will ruin it. Those set>
ling out hedges should always have
spare plants of the same age as the
hedge, to fill up all places killed in
the winter, if a large plant is killed,
fill the place with a large plant,
never a small one.
The foregoing way of raising a
hedge I have got by experience, an»l
know if followed will ire sure to make
a live fence, that no kind of slock
can pass, and the cost can not exceed
20 cents per rod; my fence has not
cos', me 15 certs per rod.

Groxth of Cereals,
Of late years, ihe laws controlling
the development of cereals from
germinating to maturity, have been
more carefully studied than in for
mer years, and the results of these
researches are not only interesting,
but valuable in the highest degree
to the practical farmer, as they will
enable him to improve in his modes
of culture, by avoiding errors that
seriously interfere with the growth
and development ot plants.
Among the most interesting of the
many papers that have been pre
pared on that subject, is one read at
a meeting of the British Association,
by Mr. F. F. Hallet, in which were
detailed the results of a series of ex
periments conducted by the author
for the purpose of establishing cer
tain important facts connected with
ihe growth of cereals. Starling up
on the conviction that grain, and es
pecially wheat, is injured by plant
ing loo closely, he found a wheal
plant would increase above ihe
ground in proportion as its roots had
room to develop, and that the roots
might he hindered by being in con
tact with the roots of another plant.
To enforce this argument against
close planting, we may add Liebig’s
remark, that “the greatest enemy to
a wheat plant is another wheat plant,
not only because the natural devel
opment of the roots are retarded,
hut also for the obvious reason that
both require the same foot!; small
head and kernels, anil w eak, flabby
straw, are the nateral consequences
of this competition.” J. J. Mechi,
the widely known farmer and writer
of England, Bays the close sowing
of grain is a national calamity.
Mr. Hallet contiueii his experi
ments, planling one kernel of wheat
only, and by applying ihe principles
he had previously deducted to im
proving the method of cultivation,
he succeeded in raising wheat, whose
ears contained 123 grains. In
the course of these investigations,
he made other discoveries with re
gard to the growth ot cereals, which
may be summed up as follows:
1. Every fully developed plant,
whether of wheat, oats or barley,
presents one ear superior in produc
tive power to any of the rest on that
plant.
2. Every such plant contains one
grain, which upon trial, proves more
productive than any other.
3. The best grain in a given plant
is found in its best ear.
4. The superior vigor of this grain
is transmissible in different degrees
to its progeny.
5. By repeated careful selection
the superiority is accumulated.
C. Tne improvement which 13 first
raised gradually, after a series of
years, is diminished in amount, and
eventually so far arrested, that prac
tically speaking, a limit to improve
ment in the desired quality is reach
ed.
7. Bv still continuing to select,
the improvment is mantained, and
practically a fixed type is the result.
The progress now being made in
agriculture is the joint work of theo
ry and practice, anil the develop
ments of late years concerning the
structure and physiology of plants,
are of incalculable benefit. Cbem-
stry has now demonstrated the con
ditions absolutely demanded by
vegetation for its growth, and points
out to the enquiring mind the sour
ces whence the requisite materials
can he procured, and the process by
which the mectanical action can be
best accomplished. Every really
successful farmer must, to some ex
tent, be a scientific man, because in
developing the capacities of his land
to the utmost, in maintaining and
increasing its fertility, and overcom
ing the difficulties that baffle others,
he must apply established principles
and the knowledge of facts that
constitute important elements of
success.—Farmer's Home Journal.
io make a hedge; any disposition of j as quickly and effectually exhaust
the soil with the use of fertilizers, as
he can wiihout them.
I state here as a fact, that tbir'ha-
ses—the mineral constituents assim
ilated by a plant as a part?of their
food, is in nearly all the arable land
of our country inexhaustible.
It has required thousands of years
to convert the stones and rocks that
cover the earth into cultivated lands ;
it will require thousands of years
more to accomplish their entire des
truction or exhaustion ; and While
this disintegration of rocks is going
on, the alkalies are set at liberty and
made available for the food of plants.
I assert also, by the authority of
Baron Liebig, one of the ablest wri
ters upon organic chemistry, that
one cubic foot of feldspar contains a
sufficient quantity of the alkalies to
supply an acre of forest trees for
many years.
Now, while we have feldspar and
formations of other rocks spread
over the surface of our lands, who
need fear the exhaustion of the soil t
I can conceive of bulthree tcays of
exhausting the soil.
The first is, by stopping the dis
integration of rocks, thus prevent
ing the liberation of their alkalies.
Secondly, by incineration ; that is,
by permitting the soluble constitu
ents of the soil to be burned up.
And third, by the grazing of cat
tle.
We expect in due lime to force
nearly all of our farmers to plead
guilty to all three of these modes of
exhausting the soil by their system
of farming.—Cor. in jTugis and Intel
ligencer.
It
that
is a rather curious coincidence
the first bridge for carrying
water, for the puipose of naviga
tion, over a navigable stream, should
have been built for the Earl of
Bridgewater, yet it is tieverthless an
historical fact. In 175S, a plan
was made for the construction
of a canal from the coalmines
of that nobleman to the city
of Manchester, a distance of some
seven miles, across rivers and val
leys and through subterranean pass
ages, by an engineer named Brind-
He surveyed the ground and

Does Continuous Cropping Exhaust the Soil ?
It seems to be a favorite proposi
tion, among agricultural writers, that
continuous cropping is exhaustive of
the soil; that cropping takes from
the soil a certain amount of the bases,
such as lime, potash, magnesia aud
the various alkalies formed from
these bases, &c; that unless these
are put back by the way, or in the
form of fertilizers, the soil will be
exhausted and reduced to poverty.
Now, this is very specious and
plausible argument; and appears as
plain as that two and two makes
four; or, that if two were taken from
declared the canal practicable, and
although assailed by ridicule from
every side, the earl bad confidence
enough in him to determine on the
execution of the project. When
the canal had been completed as far
as the river lrewell, (navigable for
large vessels,) and Brindley wa
preparing the work for an aqueduct
high above the river, the eminent en
gineers ofthat time declared it agreat
folly saying, “ They had heard of
castles in the air, but had never
seen the place where they proposed
building, them, much less the place
where they proposed building can
als in the air.” Ten months afte
this, the first coal-boat passed over
this elevated canal, while the ves
sels in the river sailed past helo
it as before, without interruption
This success caused several othe
canals to be immediately planned
and Brindley was ofien consuhed
in their construction.
That this now almost forgotten
engineer was a true genius, appear
from the fact that he never received
a good education. Till seventeen
years of age he worked for his fatli
er, who was poor, and then hound
himself as apprentice to a mill
wright, where he soon showed so
much ingenuity that he often in
structed his master in the perform
ance of new kinds of work. He
never resorted to books, nor to the
labor of others, nor did he make
plans ob paper, nor tabulations for
his own use; he was not familiar e-
nough with those things; hut more so
in pure menial labor; he made his
whole plans and calculations in his
mind arranged all the parts ot the most
complex machinery in his irnagina
tion, and retained the whole in bis
memory, which by this habit be
came most surprisingly’ vigorous.
When he had a difficult plantoelab
orate, he locked himself up in hi?
room and went to bed, and remain
ed there till his plans were ready.
When his own mind was satisfied,
he felt easy, being confident of suc
cess, and success always crowned
his labors. He died at the age of fifty
six years and left behind him many,
other works < f engineering and me
chanical skill, which for many gener
ations, past and futue, testify to his
superior ability.

Gents.—The large and destructive fire of
February 22jid, consumed the building occu
pied by us. We were using one of your Her
ring’s Patent Champion Safes, made sixteen
years ago. It contained Seven Hundred Do!
tars in money, our books and valuable papers
We were unable to get the safe open until
eighteen hours after the fire. We found the
contents in excellent condition; the only injury
was ine landing 6f the books', drawn by the
steam. This test of the fire pre >f quality ol
your safes was a severe one, as all can testify
who saw the fire. The amount of combusti
ble materials of the building itself, added to the
cotton and other goods stored in it, made as
hot a fire as often occurs.

The Almond.
There is no apparent reason why
the culture of the almond should
not be pursued to a profitable extent
in the warm and favorable climate
of some of the Southern Stales. It
so strongly resembles the peach tree,
that it is difficult to distinguish it by
the leaves anti wood only. The
chief distinction between the two in
our gardens lies in the fruit, which,
in the almond, consists of little more
than a stone covered with a thick,
dry, woolly skin, while the peach
has in additiou a rich and luscious
flesh.
The Common Almond, the Hard
Shell, Sweet Almond, and the Bitter
Almond, are hardy in the latitude
of New York, and bear tolerable
crops without care. The Soft Shell
or Ladies’ Almond is the finest of
