It is as irnpreative as that *thou shalt keep holv the seventh day." The Almighty labrfred six days in the creation of the world and the things that are therein, and he rested on the seventh. We therefore violate this com mandmcnt just as much in neglecting to work six days, as we do in not keeping holy the seventh. How many farmers are remiss in keeping this high behest of heaven?

His endeavor will be to n make it better, instead of wearing it out 'j and moving to a new. country. In Rome v it was disreputable to sell or abandon the |] home of his fathers."

HOMO. u Rockingham, Vt., 1812. s ^ > POTATOES ON A ROCK. II In corroboration of the truth of the h ?*i:e\v discovery* in Agriculture," or the n fjroduction of crops without earth or til- v age. Mr. Grc'cnlv of the N. V. Tribune k gives the following as related to him by a v m respectable farmer: "A portion of his|p xrS'S" twru rnrlf. which, ill view of k - iATIH 7 , ? | WsmalF amount of labor he bestowed o uponit, he made the most productive.? J <1 In the spring of the year he i id down or h planted his potatoes on this rock, and h a,-^overing them over with straw, paid no v re attention to 4fchem until fall, when |s ^v-'^ he merely raked off the dry straw, and t r ^' exposed a most abundant cr< p of the |g ^ fiflek quality. The advantages of this p ^ ^method of raising potatoes arc. 1. No k ploughing. 2. No hoeing. 3. No dig- a ging; the rake only being required. 4. t They are .perfectly dry; and 5. They I1 are perfectly clean." c PRUNING AND MANAGEMENT OF FRUIT I TREES. r We find the following extract from a f letter, written by Mr. E. Phinney, of a ? Massaclffli^Us. to a'gentleman in Marv- t wland; in the Amerfrtui Farmer. The di- f rections are from the highest authority, t clear, distinct, and, we believe, faultless. .How much this pleasing and profitable s 1* v. u ~c ?J? 11 - U1 IlUOUailUIJ JO 111 U1V; ' South: < "On the subject of pruning apple trees, j which is your first inquiry, a volume might j i be written. In a few words, it is diffieqjtj i to give a good top to a tree unless pruning t jsbe^unin the nursery?like too many't ; * " * * - 9 & I %' Jfe ."i r 1 i hi i?ii i hiiiimi?aa?c ">f oyk^rI)ildren, if suffered to grow a ti randoifife youth, it is difficult to got them y< ;u proper trim afterward. If, however, j| this has been neglected, and the top is too* thick and Iiinhs i.ntci fere and chafe each b other, these should all be taken out so that d no limbs^shnll cross each other?and in y doing this, regard should be had to an I equal balance of the top. A tree with an undue propoition of its burden on each side is more liable to be injured both in c root and branch. I have never known s an instance of two severe pruning?wg_] are ail inclined to let too much woonl grow, by. which the quality of the fruit is ! injured. No better general rule can be i adopted than to cot out all rabh limbs as, interfere and cross each other;*not only! those that interfqjg now, hut such as from ? thtfifaircellon will be likely to interfere hereafter. 11 The best time of pruning is while the tree is growing most vigorously. With 1 us this time is about the first of June? 1 the process of healing then commences f quickly, and the wound is not so likely to " canker. Where, however, a limb of con- 1 siderablc size is taken off, in order to avoid [ ranker, it is best to cover the wound with j a little common mortar, made of sand and ' lime, and instead of hair to mix wi'h it, 11 use brislles, which are much more dur&-1 ble than hair, and will effectually secare j the part from canker, and will remain on | till the wound is nearly healed over. In i Maryland, I should think the best t ime for * pruning wouid be from the first of May to 1 first of June. 1 "Thousands of valuable trees in this ( part of the country have been brought to 1 premature decay and death by pruning in { the months of February and March. ! "The best manure for apple trees is the top mould and leaves gathered from the woods mixed with a little lime or ashes. Strong.manure should not be applied di- t rcctly to the roots of trees. The best 8 way to promote the health aud growth of j, trees is to keep the ground in a high state j t)f cultivation; let the crop of whatever is j, planted be well manured and well cultivated, and they will require no other nou"ishmerit. Trees will not do well in grass I pound if ever-so much manured.

'lough close to the trees; if a root is now md then broken by the plough the tree; ullers but little or no injury. Too much " nanure applied to the roots operates like ^ timulus upon the human constitution,: ind often induces premature decay.? { The same manuring and cultivation that vill produce a good crop, will give a icaithy, vigorous growth to the trees.
