AGRICULTURAL. Prom the Nebraska Farmer J The KItcIicn Garden. In order to make a good walk it is nec essary tlat the ground should be dug oat at least one foot and filled up , to within a couple of inches of the surface wiih coarse rock and then one inch or so c rough gravel, if there should te a little clay amongst it, it will be all the belter: rating it well into all tne crevices, and finish with fine and hardest gravel that can be got. Let it be about two inches higher in the center . than on the sides make small gutters diagonally inter sect the current; so as to conduct the wat er to the sides, along which a guiter should be made, and paved; the edging to be slate or wood. When this is accom plished, water the whole with a watering pot, with the rose on. Roll them with a heavy roller, so as to press the whole in to one body. If the material i3 good, and the work well executed there is but little fear to be apprehended from wash Before any planting is commenced the ground should be well manured, and also trenched two spits deep and the manure placed between the f pits. This is best done in the fall, so that when it comes to be dug again, in the Spring, the whole will have become incorporated together, and will be in fine Condition to sow or plant. You may divide the whole into regular compartments for the sake of convenience and regularity. A border should have been made around the fence, being divi ded from the body of the garden by a walk of no less than four feet wide. The border should be made in accordance with the height of the wall or fence, and the size of the ground that 13 occupied for garden purpose?. The general rule is to make the border the! same width as the ence is in height. This border will be cf great utility, rrcre particularly on lev el surfECis, to r3;;e early radish, lettuce, re-3s, turnips, and potatoes. 'If tho fence I inaJs.cf-. beards cr trick, a. few reds of wire should te fastened to it ty brackets, allowing four cr five inches between the fence and the wire, for the free circula tion of air to pass behind the trees that ate trained to the trellis, the fence affbr ding good' protection. And, unless the season be very unfavorable, a regular crop from those trees may be expected. Thus a good fence pays for its construction by the protection it affords, besides giving uniformity to the place, and protecting the crops from being destroyed by hogs, dogs, &c. The varieties of trees that are mostly planted on the Southern and eastern as pects, are: grapes, peaches, nectarines, &c, and for the northern and Western aspects, apples, pears morella and Kent ish cherries, and plums. I have hardly ever seen wall trees fail to bear, if prop erly planted and taken care of. If work that is required to be done on them, is done in the proper season, it takes up tut little time. The garden being now enclosed, by n border, this beinij divided from the square by a walk, leaving the square in one piece, this, again, should be divided by running two walks crossing the center at right angles. These walks should not be less than 3 feet, if the size of the ground will permit. I would not,.. however, ad vise dividing small grounds in too many quarters, especially if the quarters are surrounded by espaliers as was before di rected. This would only make the whole appear cramped and confused and would render the quarters too confined for the proper growth of culinary vegetables, be sides taking up too much room for paths! Grass walks have sometimes been used, but these are very improper, particularly on walks where wheelbarrows are oblig ed to come on , them often, which would cut aud deface them; and not only that, they are disagreeble to walk on in wet weather, and form a good harbor for in sects, which are so very detrimental to vegetables. Well made gravel walks have the best appearance, most useful and comfortath a all weather, and are the cheapest, h the long run. Within the quarters may be planted all kinds of small fruit, such as strawberries, raspberries, goosberries, blackberries, etc. All these wiih the exceptions of strav berries may be planted five or six fe'et apart, each way. so that a row of vegeta bles of some kin 1, may be planted be- twen them; the cultivation of which would accelerate the growth of the fruit irees. By this method the greatest amount of well grewn fruit and vege tables may be raised on the smallest surface cf ground, ate the weeds upon two acres after they I would also advisft that a nlace be selpr- once get a start. ror is the savin- of ..j r.-v-.v.j- this amount of labor all the . . .

Corn, if properly cultivated, will yield more than double the quantity per acre than ts usually produced by giving the crop a certain number of plowings. with out regard to circumstances. In the first place, land thoroughly prepared before planting, is half tilled. Corn, planted upon land deeply broken up and thorough- y pulverized with the roller and harrow, is in the best possible condition to receive the subsequent tillage. The first dressing is best performed with a large harrow, drawn by two horses, walking with the row between them. To avoid injury to the young plants, the teeth that come on the line of the corn should be removed from the harrow; and with this view, it is important that the teeth be secured with nuts and screws, so that they may be re moved with facility without injury to the teeth or the wood-work. One dressing in this way while the corn is quite young, and, if possible, soon after a rain, gives it an excellent start. This dressing should be followed at lhe proper lime, either with the small turning plow, or, what is better, a shovel or bull-tongue plow ; and run de-p, affording a deep mellow bed for the corn roots to pasture in. The more deeply the soil is pulverized ut this working, the greater amount of heat and air will be admitted to the roots of the growing crop, important requisites for early maturity and resistance to summer drought. The subsequent workings are best given with the cultivator; and this should always be run after a rain, and be fore the surface becomes dried to any thing like a crust, whether there are grass or weeds to be killed or not. Alight, mellow surface is always requisite; then the crop is in the best possible condi tion to resist drought, and a fair crop may be expected even in the dryest seasons. One word in regard to the construction of the cu.tivators, as we generally see them turned out by the manufacturers. In the first place they are too heavy; and in the second, the teeth, in order to work at the proper depth and with the greater ease, should be turned up considerably more from the centre to the point. The angle from the point to the middle, should be only sufficient to insure the necessary depth and draft. As the teeth are ordi narily made, presenting their whole front to the soil, they offer the the greatest possible resistance, which renders it hard work for a horse to draw it all day. Wiih the teeth of the proper form and the points nearly flat, double the execu. tion may be obtained; while the labor of the horse is materially reduced. The same remarks apply to the sho el-plows, as ordinarily made. The blade or shovel is altogether too upright to wtrk with ease and efficiency With tim ly culture, the farmer may always keep ahead of the weeds. It is easier to prevent the weeds from, growing in a ten acr field; than it is to extprmin- r;:!jns that 1 :'. '.! a I i a c;i:r;y r.ca taken up tneir winter r tcrs anong my young trees. I despaired of destroying them by the use of a spade. 1 therefore resorted again to my trap; and in a few hours. I found a large one safe enough, and all further signs ceased; and not one has since been seen in my or chard. I am therefore fully persuaded, that with a little care and prompt action, they may be easily destroyed, and much loss prevented. Plattsbvrg, Mo. P. F. II. A. Striped Bags Best Remedy. There is no insect, within our knowl edge, that prevails so generally, and gives the gardener so much trouble, as the stri ped bug. We believe it prevails from "Dan to Be-ersheba;" in fact we have never yet heard of a place, where either squash or meJIon grew, where this little striped rascal wn3 not found. Their op erations are principally, confined to the young plants of the melon, cucumber, and the squash, and they often appear in such numbers and determination, as to baffle the skill of the gardener in defend ing his plants from their greedy attacks. A multitude of pirns have been recom mended from time to time for saving the plants from the ravages of this insect such as spirits of turpentine, gas-tar cot ton tatting, ashes, black pepper, hen ma nure, onions, snuff, &c. But among all the remedies here named, and a score or twomore.no one has been found so ef fectual as a small open enclosure around the plants, about five or six inches high. Those boxes may be made of bricks, or boards, cotton cloth, or old pieces of oil cloth, or pieces of tin, or, in some in stances, strong paper. We would recom mend as the best material, and in the long run the most economical, the oil cloth. It can be made by auy one at little expense. Take a ccarse piece of tow cloth, stretch and nail it on the south side of a build ing; with a brush work the pores full of flour paste; when dry, put on a coat of oil and Spanish brown, or some other cheap paint, having a good body; when dry, turn the cloth and apply the same to the other side. In a few days it will be ready for use, and will last many years if aken care of. Cut the cloth into strips about six inches wide, and into lengths according to the size of the enclosure wished ; fasten the two ends with small tacks or o.herwise to a stake. The hoop thus formed is then placed around the plants, and the stake driven into the ground to keep in place. Plain cotton, any other cloth, may be used by stretch ing it around and fastening it to four or more stakes. Strong paper will answer a very good purpose in dry weather. The enclosure snouia oe tigntiy rjankea on inch or two cn both sides, to keep the bugs from burrowing under. They are inclined to d-g rather than to clnnb.- When no longer needed for the season. take the cloih from the stakes and lay it away in a dry place. .Last seaaon we saveu our apple pio raellon plants, ty simply placing five cr six bricks edgwise.arouud each hill, thus making a small enclosure not over four inches high.
