Tlie strength of team should he according to the 

 toughness of the sward, and the depth of plough- 

 ing. One good yoke ofoxetl and a horse, a hand 

 to hold the plough, and another to drive, were all 

 that I found requisite to perforin my work. 



Howard's Plough, with a wrought iron share 

 and east iron mould, 1 have found to he the last 

 for turning over greensward. It is the only kind 

 of plough that 1 have seen, which turns the fur- 

 row flat, .without breaking it ; and this circum- 

 stance is owing to the turn of the mould, and its 

 having a share wide enough to cut just as wide a 

 slice as the mould would completely turn over. 



As to tin- number of lands, I would make as 

 few as possible, as the more furrow lands a lot is 

 divided into, the more vacant barren spaces will 

 he left, and the more labor required to till them. 

 Go round the whole lot, and when finished, let the 

 outside furrow slice be taken up, in pieces thai 

 may be conveniently handled, put into a cart or 

 drag, and placed in the vacant space (occasioned 

 by turning the furrows outward) in the middle and 

 corners of the lot. This will leave the whole 

 smooth and level, prevent ridges at the sides and 

 ends, and save the necessity of back furrows, 

 which would give an unevenuess of surface. 



GOOD NEWS AND GOOD FRUIT. 



We have recently been greatly and doubly grati- 

 fied by learning that our friend Gorham Parso.ns, 

 Esq. who has been dangerously ill, is now conva- 

 lescent ; and to receive together with this pleasing 

 intelligence some fine samples of fruit raised and 

 preserved by Mr. Parsons. The health and wel- 

 fare of a gentleman, who to other good traits ot 

 character, unites zeal, intelligence and public spirit 

 as a Cultivator, ate matters which concern the pub- 

 lic much more than the articles which usually fill 

 the columns of newspapers. 



ITEMS OP INTELLIGENCE. 



Baltimore, April 23. Change of Weather. After a 

 succession of warm and pleasant weather, with occa- 

 sional showers, there was a sudden 'change and severe 

 frost on Friday night, which withered grapes, fruits and 

 vegetables, in exposed situations ; and after a cold and 

 unpleasant day on Saturday, the night set in with high 

 wind and rain, which was succeeded by a slight fall of 

 snow. Great injury has, no doubt been sustained by 

 the frost, as on yesterday morning there was considera- 

 ble ice. We understand that in the vicinity of Baltimore, 

 some of the gardeners have lost nearly all their early 

 vegetables. 



The amount of revenue that accrued to the Govern- 

 ment of Buenos Avres during the year 1H33 amounted 

 to 12,240,000 dollars, of which the customs furnished 

 ! 366 dollars. 



PIE PLANT ; or, Ktieum Itaphonticum. 



Tli s valuable vegetable is a perfectly palatable acid, and 

 answers most of Ihe purposes that apples or oilier fruit do to 

 cook, preserve, or dry lor winter use. The sieins ol I he full 

 grown leaves of lliis plant arc at all limes lit for use ; they re- 

 quire no oiher preparation than washing and cutting into shoit 

 pieces, and are then lit to make pies, tarts, drv, or preserve, the 

 same as apples. The leaves are frequently from two to three 

 feet wide, anil lour feel long. To have this plant pro, lure in 

 perfection, sow the seeds on a rich spot of ground ; walcr them 

 frequently in dry weather, while the plants are young; in the 

 fall or spring following, prepare a spot of ground eighteen in- 

 ches deep, and very rich w t'i rotten manure, on tins, set out 

 the plants four feel apart each way. One plant well cultivated 

 at three or lour years old, will produce in one season, trom 

 thirty to forty weight or upwards, tit for use. 



A few papers of the seed of this plant received and for sale 

 at the New England Seed Store. GEO. C. BARRETT.
