weak and rapid, aud much resembling

visibly to that powerful depletion--I then

RURAL ECONOMY.

Mr.. BRoNsoN,-Supposing hat the ex-
tract enclosed (from the Gentleman's Mag
azine for Feb. 1918, p. l59) relative to
Fruit trees, would be interesting to your
country as well as city subscribers ! have
|been induced to send them fos publication,
more especially as the season for making
1.-The experiment isapproaching. The wri-
Ter of this would be gratified if any one
who may make the experiment would
make the result public through the me-
dunn Of your paper. G.
The following easy, simple, and infal-
libIe method of forcing fruit trt IS to bios
som aud to bear fruit, has been translated
from the German Of the Rev. George
Charles Lewis HempeI, [Secretary to the
Psychological Society Of Altenburgh, in
Saxony,) by George Henry Nochden,
L. l.. ID. F. L.. S. &c.
10 my early years l saw my father,
who was fond of pomology, and skilled in
that science, cutting ring on several
branches of trees, which already were in
blossom, for the purpose Of producing, by
that means, larger fruit than usual. This
was not his own invention; but, as far as
can recollect, derived from French
Journal. Thirty years ago, when | was
boy, practised this operation in imita-
ton Of him, and thereby obtained larger
pears aud plums. In repeating this ope-
ration of ringing the branches, which I
did merely for the purpose OF getting
larger fruit, observed that the branches
so operated upon always bore the next
year. By this reiterated appearance, l
was led to the idea, that perhaps this
mode of ringing the bark might be a
means of compelling every unproductive
branch to yield fruit. With this view, |
cut rings upon a considerable number OF
branches, which as yet showed no bios
SONS aud. found, by repeating the exper-
iment, the truth Of my supposition indis-
putabIy confirmed by experience. The
application of this experiment, whereby
upon every bough or branch fruit may
artificialIy be produced, is very simple
and easy. With sharp knife make a
cut in the bark Of the branch which you
mean TO force to bear, and not FAR from
the place where It. is connected with the
stem; or, if it be small branch or shoot,
near to where it is joined to the bough :
the cut is to go round the branch, or to
encircle it, and to penetrate TO the wood.
A quarter of an inch from this cut you
make a second cut, like the first, round
the branch, so that by both encircling the
branch, you have marked ring upon the
branch, a quarter of an inch broad, be-
tween the two cuts. The bark between
these two cuts you take clear away with
| a knife, down to the wood, removing even
the fine inner bark, which Immediately
lies upon the wood; SO that no connection
whatever remains between the two parts
Of the bark, but the bare and naked wood
appears white and smooth. But this bark.

STATE OF THE AMERICAN NAVY.
To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.
Sir-So many reports are afloat con-
corning the rising Navy Of America
that formidable opponent, with whom
Great Britain will find it a difficult task
to contend before half century has pass
ed away, that shall feel obliged If you
viii permit me, through the medium of
your paper, to state suhat that nagyis at
| the present. time, and what 1t mill be ia
few years. | have not been four months
| from America. At New-York, line of
battle ship and three frigates of forty-eight
guns were lying in Hampton Roads
three decker, flush fore and aft, without
poop, Chat useless appendage, merely to
provide the admiral state cabin, was at
anchor, attended by two sIoops Of war,
mounting so guns each. / visited the
three decker, General Washington, and
although
" Nurse on the wave and Graded in the Storm"
prepared to defend the nautical abilities of
my own country against the world was
completely Ito use the language familiar
to common minds) C Knocked on the head
with establishment" The decorations of
an American line of battle ships interior,
are far superior to ours, the expenses be-
ing betrayed by the nation, and as to mill
itary equipments, they out rival us with
vengeance. Regular mechanics, bred to
the trade, are employed to take care of
the arms every sword glitters 10 polished
steel, and its edge is SO fine, that but foY
its unwieldy size, you might shave with
it. The tomahawks for boarding land
which are the best instruments that can
be placed 10 the hands Of British sailor)
are the finest metal and peculiar 10 their
make. All the guns run upon slides,
which l consider great improvement.
In fact, Mr.. Editor, Il have not time to
enter into details the American ships of
war are fitted out in superior style, and
England, the mistress of the wave, will
be obliged to take lesson Of instruction
from them.
The Americans have now afloat nine
ships Of the line, seventeen frigates, and
twelve sloops Of war. All Of those sloops
of war mount thirtytour guns, and are
match for any of our smaller class of
frigates.
On the stocks America has eleven sail
Of the line, most Of them will be launch
ed before another year has passed away,
and there are frigaies laid down ID every
port. 1t behoves US to watch with care
full eye the increasing maritime power OF
America. That country has already de-
fed and defeated US 10 single combat-she
will very soon encounter US with whole
