a I if in in as A Since tho publication of my last articlo on tho hedge, 1 have received soveral letters some of them from the oldest and most experienced hedge-growers in tho Stato calling my attention to articles that have sinco boon published in various pa pers, proposing other methods, and wishing mo to reply. I have no time to reply nor do I doom it neodtul. have suggostod thu gen eral plan which we havo followed in this part of tho Stato for years, with ocanomy ot labor and practical suc- oess and if any ono can suggest a better ono, ou tho wholo, 1 am sure all will reioico with it. But some of thoso writers say that the plan prom-red imply an amount ot know ledge nf vegetable physiology and care labor that ronders hodco planting fur more difficult to the practical farmer than it really is. I think to loo.

Wo of tho West do not need exnuii-ite hedges, suited to the pleasure grounds of an Lnghsh park, so much us we need choap ones tor the held and pastures ot the pl.iin western farmer. Hi part ol what theso scientific writers say of tho nature of the plant and its best conditions of perfect growth is truo; and much of tho precision and caro they recommend would bo woll lor the proiessional had nothing olse to do. 1 admit it is woll to raiso a pig as luoen ictoi ia docs on lTinco Al ben's model farm, in a marble pen on marble aud fed if need bo out of a trough, from a golden spoon. All this would bo strictly according to (ho laws of animal physiology. Rut my pigs havo to come down a peg or two below this oxquisito standard, and I suspect those of most others theso west ern wilds So with my Osage plants I at first used to uurse them a great deal, and cut them Cnrol'iilly, for foar of injuring them.

when I found out that I could not kill them whon I wanted to do it, by cutting them cither above or below the ground, nor yot by burning them down the soil for a foot or more, I began to think they would get through the world with somowhat less nursing and care in tho hedge row. And with a row of good plants, woll set out, kept lull, and tree from vacan cies, und clear of weeds for 3 years, (which any man can do who has sense onough to plow a corn row,) I do not believe any man could cut, or splash, or maim them, in one annual trimming, it ho triod, so as to pre vont their making a good hedgo, if the stock was kept off of them No, not even if the fire ran through them and burnt them all down to the ground, unloss it happened in August. Nearly all the failures in hedges that I have ever seen arose from no fault either tfainingor not training, but simply from failing to supply or fill out tho vacancies, made by dead plants the first year or Buffering the hedge row to bo overgrown with crass and weeds, or overrun with Rt.nrk And wh nrnnv nf -1 il. i i suggest aro sinei.y uo theory, and some ol them wholly uotruo, 1 do not suppose these pa pors will induce one einglo man in this nart of the Stato. where the hedge has been longost used, to 4 7 cbange his snort-Hand mode ot male ins his hedges.

Ono of my correspondents has suirgestod a method evidently prac- "men ie saves me moor of a hand in splashing or laying his young hedge row. It is this lie alonsr and nicks all his ants nKAiil k. AH am 1 I "i i "obiuiiuu, "vuv" or iorK auu unio oi a tree, wun one prong cut short, the smaller one cut long, and hitches his horses at the longest prone: i throws tho other prong ovor the other side ol the hedgo row, with a ropo attached for man to hold it there, if oocd be and then drives on and breaks or crushes his hedgo row all down at onco by the weight of the heavy tree fork afterwards righting up such plaoes as may havo fallen too 1 I- 11 1 low or too high with hand forks or hooks. This is anothor rough method which some may condemn, but which evidently saves timo and ex pense and if the hedgo will not live as long so treated as it would it had been trimmed, and trunod nd wisped, snd staked at a cost of 60 ccoU por rod j. will vonturo it will live longer than its owner will, cvon though a vory young man, and Hint is long enough.

1 know tticro is great carelessness exposing hedges to stock sua weeds, and neglecting thoir vscan- 5ies till they become cannot be too carefully guarded against. But still, the making of a good substantial hedge is not one of I the fine arts, which any man ol good common secse cannot practice with entire success, and that, too, at very little cost compared with any other practicable and durable fence. Even New York and Pennsylviois they ar beginning to give it up that they must have bedgos snd they will soon find il out all over rest sua for them, for us, the cheapest mode that will succeed is the best.

Our Land Recoup, which you will find well filled with matters of cxpocinl interest to you at thistimo din bo found in ull tho hotels and public places in tho city, mid you will Quel it greatly to yourndvantugo t-i ueruso it cttrclully uoloio iiiukiii voiir purchases.

If, in looking over urn' list of lands for sulo, you find niiy (met, improved or unimproved, which you think from tlio description will suit call ing at our oilu'o ana dircctm; our attentiou to tho same, you will have instaut opportunity to visit the property and determine for your' Bclves whether or not you are suited with it. Wo make no charges for showing you any property on our list. You will have at least the benefit of a free rido, to soo what you wish in city or country, and if wo fail to suit vourin our exhibit, it is our fault not yours, if you aro really anxious to purchase.

If you w.mt to buy land, go to thoso whoso business it is to sell laud.

It is our Imshws to sell. Tho merchant who desires to sell his merchandise should be, invariably, prepared to show it to the purchasor, free of uliargo. Wo do business on the i-amo principle More than this, tho proper place to look for tho cheapest lauds is to go to an active laud agent. The cheapest and best property for sale in Kansas, is almost without exception, in tho hauds of the agencies, and can bo found advertised in their published lists at tho lowest r.ites. Tho reasons for this fact are pl-iini the property owner, who is really desirous to sell at fair prices, mid who is glad to wclcomo tho immigrant, is always tho man who is wiliing to paj for advertising through a regular land agency; wuiloj ou tho othor hand, the man who seeks for.

fancy prices, will not advertise his property by putting it in the hands of an agent for that purpose, because ho is well aware that such prices will net bear comparison in tho published list of a Ileal Estate paper, and ho depends on finding some one "who does not read tho papers," and who will bito his fancy bait.
