From the Tennessee Farmer. Cult are of Blue Grass No. 4. Clinton College, Feb. 14. In my 3d number I gave the management indispensable to the production of good pasture; ns well as the manner cf restoring Bluagrass lots which have been warn out exhausted by bad management. And here, two very important questions will present themselves to TeTinesseans, viz: 1st. What shall be done with the iive trees upoti our woodland pastur. es? 2J. How shall we keep our pas. tures free of weeds and briars Ths former of these querries I must at:, swer now, and leave tha latter for a subsequent number. 1st. What shall we do with the trees upon woodland pastures.' .My answer isjdcadep, in May, nearly ail trcef, ,wj5i will not do for rails or buildings. You Bre to daden hi May, fjr the reason that graziers are greed that tree9 deadened at this

season die one year sooner, than if

belted any ether time. And it is ad. visablc to m!:e two incisions around tiie tree and take out the chip be.

hen you are to sow, you miht burn

the trees would produce no more leaves that could iimire Tour crass.

yet it will nniwer tolerably well, tc

w first, nnd doden the May follow, ng. II 'i t you will ask, what shall wc

then do for firewood ? This, I know, i a seri.xis question; it is one, too,

which nul be ditllcuit to explain to ihe satisfaction of these "ho nro not already acquainted with tho facts from which I thail reason. I3ut it nust Is nnsrrcred Enti-ldctorily, or wt? shall in vain urge the propriety of

The most important principle, perhaps, in life, is to have a .pursuit. a useful one if possible, and, at all e-

tents, an innocent one. oirn. uavy.

2.1. That it will save nil timber. 3d. That it wiil increase the profit of labor and capital, nni cahahce tho value of land. lit. As to the first position, with astonishment et the seeming paradox, you will ask how can it be, that deadening and burning most of our trees lit o nly for fire wood, will not make them Fcarccr? You urge,'that wheu wc kill a tree &. consume it by setting tire to it, our wood is surely diminished lo the amount of that tree. This is Irue; atid every tree you thus destroy is lost forever. But I must re

quest your deliberate thoughts, while

we compare the amount of wood destroyed by our present saystem of far

ming, with what will be destroyed by

the grazing system urged in this and

my former numbers, and when you

ive heard me through, I think you

will agree, that deadening trees will net make Ihem scarcer than we are daily making them. And in the out set, let me give yon my explanation by

plain comparison. When your

youg orchard has grown "lop heavy"

do you not save your trees by loping ofl some of the branches Thus you

destroy some parts f your trees to save the reel. But suppose, that when your apple trees have grown large, you were to find that they are planted too close together, would you not pre

vent your trees from decay, and thus save trees nnd fruit by cutting come of them down? Though you would

al first diminish the number of your

trees in this way, yet in the ;end, yoil

would have more live trees than if

you were to destroy none at the out set. Do you not pull "suckers" from your corn and tobacco, and gain both

corn and tobacco by that kind of destruction? And do you not make

more cotton, onions and radishes, by thinning tbe underling out Now, 1 do not mean that thinning fire-wood will make tbe remainder increase, and thus save wood; for though it is true, that trees will grow faster where they have full room, yet this is a minor matter but I mean, that by destroying some tressi you will have time and meant to save the balance;

A
