' Let us cultivate the grcund,.that the poor, a? we'd as the rich, may be filled ; ami happi ness and peace be established throughout our borders." Pruning is an important article in the management of orchards, and therefore deserves the particular at tention of the husbandman. Pruning, vi hen j udiciously done, promotes the health of the trees, brings them soon er into a bearing state, and continues them in vigor for nearly double their common age. Should it happen that any of your trees have large heads and but few and scanty roots, reduce their tops, by a select and judicious pruning, to a due proportion with their roots, for an ox, fed only through a -wren's quill, could not long exist. This, will sel dom happen, unless by accident, or carelessness in the taking of (hem up ; provided, th.cy are raised at proper distances in the nursery. No branch should ever be shortened, unless fer the figure of the tree, and then constantly taken off close at the separation, by which means the wound soon heals. The more the range of the branches shoots circularly, a lit tle inclining upwards, the more cqual lv will the sap be distributed, and the better will th c tree cea r, fo r f ro;n th at circumstance, the sap is more evenly impelled to every part. Do not let the ranges of branches be too near each other, but let them be so dispos ed cr situated around the stem, as will giv e to the inner part ventilation, and admit sunshine without much thinning. A regular position of the branches will also by a balance of weight, keep the tree upright, and enable the seve ral parts to resist violent winds, and to support load so f fru i t. C lusters of limbs on one side must incline the tree tnore and more, so as to be easily torn up by the roots, and also weaken the hold of these bran hes to the ste:n. X Indiscreet Drunin-c of the inner parts will accumulate the fruit on the j outward, and thus make the weight j tncre powerful, as on a lever. The j importance ot good pruning is aiuJi tienal" in this country, from the fre quency of westerly winds, which give a controry bias, anil from the irregilar itv of the seasons, hic.l in some years causes a'great defect, and in othe'rs an sicesvcf a ppl It has been before observed, that the principal pruning should be done while the trees ar- young and while the li mbs (to be taken oil.) arc sm all. The head of the tree shculd be form ed while it is in the nursery, -taking care to leave all the branches as nearly equidistant as possible. When pruning is too long neglect ed, the limbs to be taken off become so large as to render this operation ex-j tremely prejudicial to the tree. Ma ny persons are. so stupid as to mangle regular and healthy trees, on the pre-1 tence of making them better by thin-; nin, lopping o if branches thicker than their own arms and ieg, moreo- ver laceratir.2: the parts, and leav them expd to all the injuries i iriretah4s of the Urzited States from heat, co!d,wet and insects, ccthas j if America, in Congress assembled.

AYhen pruning is negtected, an orchard becomes of very little value, as boughs will then be suffered to hang dandling to the ground, and the heads of the trees will be so loaded with wood as to be almost impervious to the sun" and air. ;; .. By a redundancy of wood, the roots arc exhausted unprofitably, the bear ing wood is robbed of part of its suste nance, and the natural life of the tree unnecessarily shortened ; whilst the superfluous wood endangers the tree ) by giving the winds an additional pow- er over it, and is injurious to the bear ing: wood, bv retaining the damps, and j preventing a due circulation oi air. I It is common to see fruit trees, by a ! neglect of pruning in due time, with ? two or three teers of boughs pressing so hard upon one another, with their twigs so intimately interwoven, that a i small bird can scarcely creep in among them. 1 re?i, thus neglectetl, ac quire, from want of due ventilation, a . m m - - - : stinted habit, and the fruit becomes of i a crude inferior quality. If pruning -is commenced in the nursery, and" regular! v continued eve ry spring in the orchard, by taking off small limbs as they gradually appear, by this means keeping the trees in a bearing and flourishing state, all the advantages to be derived from tins o peration will be fu I J y experienced, & its disadvantages, arising from nerect and its improper applicai ion, entirely avoided.
