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 lev. 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.

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 all the varieties; it is tbevery vari ety com man io shojw* of tfce confer tioners.
