THE SPORTING MAGAZINE. No. XXX

SECOND SERIES.

A most interesting number, which will repay
the sportsman the trouble of reading some rainy
day, for trouble we know reading to be thought
by all good sportsmen when they can be doing,
Firelock's Journal has afforded us a great treat,
and we would willingly make an extract from it
did we not fear that its necessary length—for to
cut short one of his day's sport would be to spoil
it--would weary those of our readers not lovers
either of shooting or hunting.

THE GARDENER'S MAGAZINE.
BY J. C. LOUDON. No. XLI.

Mr. Loudon has, as usual, contrived to col-
lect together a vast number of interesting com-
munications upon the subject of horticulture,
illustrated by many wood-cuts and engravings.
One of the most remarkable articles is one de-
scribing a method of procuring two crops of
potatoes and one of cabbages from the same
ground in one year, but it is too long for us to
extract. The two following paragraphs will be
found generally entertaining and useful
CANKER ON YOUNG FRUIT TREES.—Three years ago,
I was much annoyed at finding several young pear trees
one mass of disease from top to bottom ; which, I conceive.
must have been infected when sent to me, three years be-
fore, as they were planted in the best of soil. On re-
ferring to a work on gardening, I found some palliatives
recommended ; but it was observed that the most effective
plan was, to take up the tree and plant a fresh one. I did
not much like throwing away three years' growth of roots,
Which, I knew, bad been extending themselves under
every advantage of soil ; and I thought of cutting off
the heads to within one foot of the ground, and inserting
healthy grafts from other varieties. I was told this could
he of no avail, inasmuch as the sap, passing through the
diseased trunk, would infect the grafts. On consideration,
this did not appear to me to be a necessary consequence, as
the qualities of the chyle (if I may so term it) secreted
from the descending sap, to which the future tree would
be indebted for its growth, would depend much more on
the scion than the stock. I determined, at all events, to
try the experiment, and headed down and grafted several
trees. It has exceeded my most sanguine expectations.
The new heads are of extraordinary growth ; three of
them have born well this year ; the wood of all is ex-
tremely vigorous and healthy, and without any symptom
of disease of any kind. Many of your scientific readers
have probably performed the same experiment, on the
same process of reasoning ; but, as the result was contrary
to the anticipations of several experienced gardeners, I
Communicate it, in the hope of saving many a useful
though cankered stock from destruction."
"A Goon ALE MAY BE MADE FROM THE ROOTS OF
MANGOLD WURZEL IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER :
Take one third of malt, two thirds of mangold wurzel
liquor, and about a fifth part of treacle, adding hops at the
rate of six ounces to nine gallons. Barrel and work with
Yeast in the usual manner. The mangold wurzel liquor
is thus obtained: clear the roots, pare off the outer rind,
Slice and boil till they are quite soft, and then squeeze off
the liquor."

The LEGAL EXAMINER and MONTHLY
REVIEW of JURISPRUDENCE.
'We see that this Journal has, during the
Present month, been labouring in the cause
which we noticed on our last Magazine Day"
its having taken up, we mean, that of Mr. St.
%John Long. We regret to see that some of
the medical gentlemen, ‘vhose characters this
/ow periodical went out of its way to attack,
have condescended to notice its aspersions.
This may answer the object of The Legal
Examiner—that of obtaining notoriety—but
Will not convince its editor of error. Doubtless
he has sufficient reasons for sacrificing the cha-
racter of his publication in defence of a person
like Mr. Long.

THE ASIATIC JO URNAL, No. IX.
NEW SERIES.

This Journal was sent us too late to give us
tune to do more than glance at one or two
of the articles, and we do Hot choose to
hazard our critical character by pronouncing
°I-Ir opinion in tl►e dark. We only say,
therefore, that the continuation of the " Con-
fessions of an Eurasian" is better than the
first part, which appeared last month. Should
we, however, have time to peruse the number
through, and meet with anything ver y interesting,
we shall quote it, as in duty bound.

UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.
No. XLXIX.

We are grieved to say that our excellent
friends of the United Service Journal have
shared no better fate than the Asiatic. It
reached us late this morning and the only article
we have read we cannot say much in favour of;
it is that entitled 64 Notes from Van Diemen's
,Land," which just contains nothing at all which
has not been published twenty times before. We
have glanced only through the " Recollections
°f a Sea Life," and as far as we can be allowed
t° judge, may say that it does not fall below its
predecessors. On Monday, if we have time, we
may return to it.
