I Have n1o made a mile or two of htd reon Gov. Duncan's grounds, and the Illinois Col b ge grounds, immcdiattly joining nr m ar to my own homesttad.! This I did for the sa e of 'improving my own place, in part.

" ' ' -: 1; It orght to take four yearslon good nth prairie land, and no ' more, to make a irooa stock ' ht riore: 1 on I arren or poorer 'land, of course it would take proportionally longer, unless manure was nsfd. 2. In my opinion, common farm hedges should iievijr tiedirp d at ail.aHeast no thing inore than to cut 1 ack' overgrown shoots to even the growth, till it'is three; or at 1 nst two years old xts the way is t 'begin at ihe bottom and the first thing i v r 1 ' .

But our farmers have hedges that I am not snnied to show against any f ence, r tuni any stock: in the world,-not except- ing thtvish town-loys. and. this helps an orchard , or rather its owner won ' erf ully. ' 5. I suppose the actual cOit of a good J stock hedgt;, on' good land, at the rate we ii i it i. i ... ' now st 11 plants, ought not to exceed fifty cents per rod, if made by the farmer him self. But a man off the ground cannot make it so cheaply by nearly , one-half.' At least I would, much rather make two rods of hedge on my own grounds, than one rod on another man's even if not more than a single mile;' or' even half a mile distant.. .For the trout Ie of - keeping waich of it. ' and getting up a team and going to it is more than all the 'other work to be done wherWyou nre'. there, if but for a short piece a mile or less. 6. The late severe winters have not injured our hi dges here at alb Last win ter thousands and millions of young seed ling plants were destroyed ' in the nurse ry, as in such stasons" they are 'always 'li abletobe. Hence we'always 'ake up ours in the fall, so far as we can, and se cure thtm-in the plant-houses; and it is impossible to be certain -of good plants, though thi y "may "appear wtll in the pin2r, without this car , for the seedling plants are quite apt to be injured in 'severe win tt rs, more or less, ai.u the injury is not al ways perctp'P le, even t y ihe I est judg es, till after thty are in the hedge-row; and purchasing such1 plants Las, perhaps, more than any one caute,' covered the country in places with broken, worthless hedges. Tube iii the last fifteen years, I have delivertu some such injured out landing plants myself, witbout knowing it till loo late, and had , thrm all to supply again the next s-pring. The gr; at drought also made tad work in ll ncbing many pieces of new-st t htdge where ihe plants were good. iti 1854. - . -. From the above and similar causes, in riding through the country. one will see a grtat many specimens if .worthless, 'un sjjhily h dge?, and. is more apt to fee tht'm,. unfortunate ly.(pn the great rail roads and thoroughfare's than anywhere else.' For preci ely here those damaged plants are most 'easily 1 awked about,' and soldthap; andreat droves of stock are most Iikr-ly to range ' and try the . work of car less hands and neglected fences. Be sides those, professional htdge-n.a&ers, who do riot -always 'know, a plow from a hoe whi n they ' comme nee iht ir peregri nations out of the citb s and Jowns, to set "superb htdges, for thV.farmers, for two prices, caah 'down ihe first" year, these icn.u,ii rncitfi curn-eniedCto cenduct their npf rrMr-v- neartrr?riiiirpa,cs, wncn iney ust.q!iy.?cinpleted as soouas the first or cond payment was made, and dc camp- id for parts unknown,. h aving the he-dg-es and lheir owners to take dare of them selves; and .the latter generally fouud their proiession'.hi dgH was worth no fur the r care ;. for themse lyes than, to try to plow rr grub it up, .wLich . is npt .bo j.a.ily done.;; for jhis; Ooaae Orange when ' once set. out; insists that it Las a right. to' make a h dge anyhow, even if not m arer together. tl anionce in ten rods. ad, you, may.cutjit ai, much as you phase, and it still persists in its right .to livand u ake a -.fence. f Bui aide fr m thes casualties. I Lave ncyer, in all my experience or knowrdge, known aplant more than lwoy ars old, or after its second winter's erowlh.-to.be killtd with cold here, or any other cause, hough , the . thermometer has leen me- srmetimes 25 dtgrees below zero -of len 20 very ofte n 10 .degrees Ulow zero: and peach trees :six inches, through, and gra pi vines, and many common apple trees of good size. Lave:, 1-ecn. killed in my grounds,, side ty side with the hedge. 'liute to the ground. In .severe winters the tops of the hedges are always killed down more or less. I , at the root ntver so far; and all the killing of the top has on ly amounted in practice here to the savr ing of one good spring's pruning. The rirt plant ever brought into this country, seme twenty yt ars ago, is still alive in my front yard; and my oldest hi dges are decidtelly the lest on the. place; and the ame istrue of my -brother's .ill Quincy, jut further north I. have Warned that 'the plants were last winter killtd out sOlad jy iii some.; j laces in the. young two year old, b dges, that. it. has discouraged their Ovvner.' I think unwisely for in other places still further nonh, I b arn they have, stood welli and I must think the. er ror, wht re th y were kilL d. ouu consisted injoo late culture, iii the fall: ..besidesjt is b?rdly prolalTe lhat we shall have anoth er winter comlining so 'many peculiar causes of destruction as the last, perlaps in a -whole. century; and he that abandons a.yi u'ng hedge, or a whe at cr p. pr : any thing . ila'e, if , needful en Lis place, from one' unfortunate. winter, is unwip, espe cially it the re is good reason to think that some error in culture caused tbe catas- trcphe. But I cannot, of course, and will not sprak' with ''any positiveness about either soils. of climate. ; or anything else not immediately (withinthe range of iny own personal experience. t1 ' . .; Bur if I 'were to -purchase a farm for myself. 2C0jniles; n"ortlorth first Vfibft'would'te. as it ever has been here, p "htdge 'it; 4tnd -if the-ground Avas dry and warm5 1 believe 1 should succeea n fioVI kno'wl shotjl4 : fail till "made. so. by dramige."'.. jQut'Iim of; the opinion that there may . be jnany rj-laces, on the poor sandy , a ud gravelly, soils ' of the north, and aso on the low and wet soils further; south'. where it ,wiJl: notpay to attempt this hedge. -, Onur.. swampy and, we lands and s wails here, it vill not do with out thorough "draining 9Tdykeing, so as Jo make a good, dry corn.soib . 7.

Since my article on "Preserving CeUry in the Vinttr," appeared in ihe "Country Gentle man" 'of January the 7th, I -have received a num ber of letters makiug inquiries relative to our mode of cultivaiion uidividual re plies would '.be out of the question. I again avail1 myself of the benefit of your columns to reply to one and ail. " The system 1 will attt'mpt to dts'-ribe, is thai generally adopted ly market gar deners m this vicinity, ' but which can ea sily, be modified to tuit any private gar den,"np'maiter how small. . ', :j ' .'In raising ihe plauts we prepare a lev el, piece of, ground, in the best possible "manner, I y 'aj plying a liberal coating 1 shin, roiled atatle manure, and reptaud ly plowing , and . aVro'wing-. unui it' is thoroughly mixed with the. soil. Then about the first of Aprd, after having 'it fiutly raktd to free iif rem all inequalitie s, we mark the line's out' with the "drag" or "marker," nine inches apart; in these we sow the1 st id rather thinly, as by comiugjip too thick the plants would be reudertd weak. As soon as the. seed germinate we? stir . ihe ground between the rows, wading the plants, 'and thin ning out where they Lave - come up too thick. By this attention, 1 y the fira of Ju.y,vy'$ iiaye fine luxuriant plants firfor transplanting; into the, open tit hi much better than those raised by being spwn.iu hot-beds and j,ickt d out previous to plant ing,; as frequently numbers of those rais ed in hot-beds will run up to seed and are consequently worthless., .... .) As we .lurarial ly, make celery a sec ond crop after cabl age, onions, or beets. which, have been, heavily manured in the spring, we rartjy find it necessary to ma- uure specially tor celery, but when we clo, ,we manure ihe ,whole ground, and not in the rows only, which is Joo often done. The reasou of this is apparent to any one who will ebserye .tbat -ihe , roots of the plant will mat.; when well; grown in ihe rows, when plauttd four feet arart. . ' , . Our spring crops get xleartd pff'in suc cession through the month of July, and as soon as they are moved the ground is plowed and, harrowed until wtll pulver iztd. Then .for .what we , want for fall use, we plant four fee t apqrt. it requiring to be lanktd up, and five .or;six inches between the plants, on the surface of the ground, Laving long ago, discarded ihe old , plan of vplantiug in trenchns, . which is otjtc tionable;by the plants being tinder the gen eral surface oLthe. ground, ihty. are more liable in rain storms tale sanded up in the hearts, which'' impedes the growth. and somt times, before1 it is removed kills the - plants. r. : :.rA ' io .

The "banking" process; may take place at any time in . September, two or three ' weeks before it is wanted for use. In October it will require a third longer time. The banking iv done by digging out the earth in the center between, the rows, and applying it neatly oh each side of the row of celery up to the tops, so as io' remain 'until the blanching is comple fed.l ' '"-' ' ' - '' ' ' -.- -l Fof that which we grow for winter use no" further work is necessary on it after the first handling process, until it i3 dug up to be put away for winter use our system of which I have alrtady described in a previous number cf "Country Gen tleman." It is a common practice to earth up all the ctlery before it is put away, n winter quarters ; I ut this is not only use less but positively injurious, as it rots mm h quicker if tlanchtd before putting away in the trenches. About the varities best to cultivate, there is much differthce of opinion, and we lave new sorts sent out every season, each and all claiming to be solids Now- our expe perfence in cultivating seme five or tix different sorts, leads us to the bt lief that the sdidity or hollowness of any varitty is mainly caused ly the nature of the soil on which it is planttd. . The ground on which my celery is grown, represents three distinct varieties of soil namely a stiff clay ty ham, a sandy loam, and a Hack alluvial deposit, all highly enriched by manure. . On the black leafy soil, we have ctlery of fine si2e but invariably hollow; on the sandy loam ve have it of fair size and a fair degree of solidily, tut on the clayey loam we have it of extra size and perfectly solid. Aliihe plants on these several soils being from one setd-bed containing only one variety, the results Lave been invarially the same in st veil or tight seasons, and the sorts bting repeatedly changed dur ing that lime, From, these facts it will be seen, when we Lave a cLoire, we pre fer heavy Ioaiu'withadayty sulsoil, as best adaj ttd for the growth of . this vt ge- aa taLie. as giving if witn more soiiuny, a better flavor, aud being more conductive to winter keeping. ;. . ti IE1ER HENDERSON, r.

The stcrtt of success is a highly manur ed spot of ground, deeply spadtd. Per haps the simplest -vay to perform this, is to open a trtnch as for ctltry. one foot detpandwide; fill in at hast six inches of well rotted manure, spading the same i . r f -1 i up to incorporate it with ihe soil ; plant two feet atari, and it more tban one in a row, three fee tin each row. ; In all dry pells, give a thorough scaling of water working some of the soil duwn after, to prevent the rapid t vaporatiunof the mois ture ly hot sun. Coiic-tani cultivation du ring the summer with the hoe ,is a grtat help to thnn, and moststnsitly felt it ptr formtd while the dtw is on. This holds good with all the Brassica or cabbage trite, to much to that a fine growth has been known to result from it without manure from ground tl.at would otherwise produce nothing, itcrojrpid with those rank feeders. The more we hoe, the more we grow.' Is an old garden distich that should nev er be lost sight of ly those who would ex cel in the growth of kitchen garden pro duce.
