| STIRRING SOIL AROUND TRERS,
The opening or lightoning tho seil
around the roats of Trees, cither in the
Spriug or fall, for the purpose of lcningl
inwarmth, and affording a freer medium
for the expansion and developmengy of
the roots, is of great value in promoting
the health and vigor of the tree.
All trees, whether fruit or arnamen
tzl, young or old, indigenous or exotic,
are vastly benefitted by this “process.—
[n old orchards, the soil about the
trunks of the trees, and to a considera
| ble distance from them, in every direc
tion, should be carefully broken, and
the upper surface, to the depth of three
or four inches, removed in the Spring,
every four or five years. The eggs of
the cureulio and other iusects, are de
'posited in this stratum, and if not re
moved or destroyed, will produce in
sects, the ravages of which the succeed
ing year will bo proeductive of far great
er loss than®the expense of removing
the soil and replacing it with compost of
loam, It is an utterly hopeless under
taking to attempt the cultivation of good
fruit, whea no measures are resorted to
to obviate the fatal ravages of this do
testable and insidious foe, and the rem
‘edy now suggestedis by no means ex
pensive, if we take into consideration
the advantages otherwise resulting to
the trees from its application,
Any good soil, taken from the open
fields, or cultivated lands, may be used
as a substitute for compost, and a very
sinall quantity will suffice. FEven if no
fresh wmatter is applied, I would recom
mend the removal of the surface soil,
and would replace it when convenient.
Chip manure or old dung covered with
straw, answers well for this purpose.—

DO NOT WASTE WINTER FOOD ON
; OLD OR INFERIOR STOCK,
[Frow the American Stock Journal.
Every farmer's motto, in regard to
stock, should be :—*“Keep the best of
each variety, aud take the best care of
it.” livery farmer expects, or should
expect, to make a profit en wintering
stock 3 if he doesnot, why does e Lkeep
it 1 If an animal is worth no mere in
the spring theui it was in the full, there
will have b:en a great waste of feod in
sustaining it through a long winter,
In many cases the food, consumed
throngh winter, would be worth more
money than the animal in the spring.—
In that case it would be better to havo
given the animal away, orto have killed
itand sold the food; the labor of taking
care of it might also have been turned to
a better purpose.
This is a matter that needs looking
into; for there are thousands of cattle,
wintered every year, that are not worth
any more money in the spring than they
were in the autumn—-many of them oot
so much. Why do such farmers_follow
the business 1 They will tell you that
they “dou’t know any thing else.”—
Very true; and they dow’t know wmuch
about that! They are too self-conceit
ed to read an Agricultural Journal—
they don’t belisve in “book farming.”
‘Well, “tho trecisknown by itsfruit.” A
‘wan who understands farming and has
the energy to excecute what he knews,
‘will muke money by it. Here is the
great touchstone to try his knowledge
by, and it is an unerring one.
" Farming is the fonndation on which
all otlier branches of industry is based,
and when monecy can be made by any
other branch of industry, money can be
made by farming, if it is intelligently
and energatically pursued. The profits
will sometimes be greater than others.
So it is with all other branches; but
the intelligent, energetic farmer will al
ways be successful. 'The old fogy farm
ar, who jogs along in the well beaten
path of his ancestors, with a prejudice
against reading, Agricultural Works
or adopting any new mode of farming,
or stock raising, cannot compete with
his mere intelligent neighbor, who sub
scribes to, and reads the current ag
ricultural literature of the day, anmd
profits by so much of it as may be adapt
ed to his locality and surrounding cir
cumstances. ;
A poor farmer cannot conccal the fact
that lic is a poor farmer. All his sur
roundings proclaim the verdict against
him: His horses, cattle, wagons, har
ness, plows, fences, fields—oven Lis
wife and children bear silent, Lui un
mistakable evidence against him, On
the other hand, all these things will
testify favorably om behell of a good
farmer. Every passer by can read thie
evideacs proor con. This fact, alens,
ought te stimulate every farmer to do
his best, for the sakeof his own charac
ter, as well as interest ; for he may rest
assured that every passer by will pro
nounce judgment accordiag to the evi
dence.

BUGORITIVE,
The following advice tendercd by the
T'ribune to the young men of New Yok
is not withont value to our awn people.
Weare in a new social and industvial
era; the carrent of life has changed and
is again on the flood; the wise it will
waft on to fortune: .
“But thereis & very large class in
thisand every other great city who
might improve their prospects by mi
gration, and who ought to muke the at
tempt. We allude to the great bady of
our meclanics, retail traders, clcrks,‘w
book-keepers, &c., who have some
means ahead, but whe find it difficult to
add thereto by strigt cconomy, because
thele families have grovn so large that
rent, tood and clothing, absorb all they
can carn. There are tens of thousands
of these—heads of famnilies, whe ceuld
leave the City noxt Spring with, $l,OOO
to $5,000 each--yet who cling to the
pavements becanse they can sco no way
to do better. To this large and worthy
class, we say emphatically, You can do
better ! ILet us Lricfly show how :
One hundred such might combine
their means and send one or more ef
their number to select and buy land;
whether in the West or the South---we
will suppose the latter. Ten thotisand
acres of land lying in a Lody, and con
sisting of'one to five or six old slave
plantations, may be bought for $:30,000
to $lOO,OOO---the dearest probably, but
not necessarily, the cheapest. Be sure
that the tract is healthy, well timbered
and well watered---that it includes at
least one good water-power, and ad
joins a railroad er pavigable stream.
Take along the cash to pay far it all
down, and be very certain that tho ti
tle is ungnestionable. = Survey the en
tire purchase into lots, after seleeting
tho best site for a village, and fix & day
when each lot will be eold at auctien to
the highest cash bidder, no matter
‘whether a member of the company or
not. Allow each member who shall’
have contributed to the purchasz-money ‘
tew por cent. premiwm for his advarce,
and let certificates for the money thull
advanced be received as cash in pay
ment for any lots parchased, whether.by
members or others. lasorve suchtracts
as may be neaded for public uses, and
sell all the rest for cash enly, taking care
that timber and tillage are so divided
that whoever will may buy ecither or
both.
We are confident that snch & compa
ny, buying and dividing a tract on this
plan, and making one contract for tle
passage of their families und the cenvey
ance of their goods, might be located
next March or Aprilon homesteads that
would be worth at least double their
cost, with a fair prospect of a steady in
crease in value. Every member who is
a carpeuter, . mason, cabinet-maker, |
painter, &c,, would find ample ompluy-‘
ment at his trade, in building and fur
nishing the houses that would be nced
ed 5 while hundreds of choppers, saW
yors, diggers, plowmen, gardeners, &c.,
&e., would be wauted, with grocers,
general merchauts, a lawyer, dector,
teachors, and hundreds more of workers
in varions capacities. e must be n}
poor stick whe could not find some pay
ing employment in such & colony ; and, ‘
while wages would be lowsr than here,
rent, food, and fuel wonld not cost half
83 much. There would of course be’
some dromes, grumblers, and good-for
nothings; but these would soon drift
away, leaving the scttlement the better
for their absence. :
There are fifty thonsand places in the
South---to say nothing here of the Wost
——-where such settlements might be
made to advantage; and therc are at
least one hundred thousand families in
twenty miles of us who might improve
their circumstances by helping to make
thew. And any company might agree
on a treasurer in whose hauds their

YOUNG MEN,
The following piece, although select
od, we most respectfully dedicate to the
“Young Men"” of Marictta, to read, to
ponder and to put in practice; for it
contains some wholesome truths and sets
forth practicel advico. Remember, “as
you are a boy, so will you be a man "
“It should be the aim of young men te
go into good socioty ;wo do not mean
the rich nor the proud, or the fashion
sble, but the seciety of the wise, the in«
telligent, and the good. Wkhere you
find men who know more *han you do,
and from whose econversation you can
gather information, it is always safe to
be found.
It lias broken down many s man by

WOREKING GIRLS,
IHere is a chapter in comwendation of
working girls, a numerous class of the
community, whose useful labiors are fre
quently tog litile appreciated :
“Happy girla! who cannot love them
with cheeks like roses, bright eyes and
elastic step, bow cheerfully they go to
work. Our reputation for it, such girls
will make excellent wives, Blessozs'in
deed will those men be who secure such
prizes, Contrast those who do nothing
but sigh all day, and live to follow the
fashions, who never earn the bread they
oat, or the shoes they wear ; who are
languid and lazy from one week's end
to another. Who but a simpleton and
popinjay would prefer one of the. latter
if he were looking for a companion?—
Give us the working girls, they are worth
their weight in gold. You never seo
them mincing alang, or jump a dozen
foet to eteer clear of a spider or a fly;
they have no affectation or silly airs
avout them, When they meet you, they
speak without putting on a dozen silly
airs, and trying to show off to better ad
‘vantago, and you fee! as though you
were talking to a hwman being and -not
to a painted automaton or a fallen angel.
It girls knew how sadly they missed
while endeavoring to show off their del
icats hands, unsoiled skins, and putting’
ou a thoussnd airs, they would give
v orlds for the situation of working ladies,
who are as far above them in intelligence,
in honor, in everything as the heavens
are above the carth.
Be wise then, you who have made
fools of yourself through life. Turm
over a new lcaf and begin, though late,
to live and act as human beings, as com
panions to mortal man, and not plsy-~
thingzs and dolls. In no other way can
wza bo happy and subserve the designs
of your existence.”
