To make fruit trees bear-On every
large branch, near the stock of the tree
make cut in the bark quite round the
branch. At the distance of quarter OF
an inch, cut round again, and take out
the narrow strip Of bark, leaving the
wood bare. Every branch thus treated
will blossom more than other branches
of the same tree, which are left unSrd-
led. The fruit too, will be larger and
better The bearing ofyoung trees may
be fastened in the same way; the chez
advantage OF it would be to ascertain the
kind of fruit. This experiment is easily
tried on a few branches; and if it does
not succeed. the injury can be but
t.ihing. Taken from a Saxon publica-
ton.

Pyroigneo,ss .4cid-The virtues of
this chemical preparation in preventing
putrefaction and preserving animal SUBJ
stances have been sufficiently tried and
found extensively useful. Meats cured
by its antiseptic qualities may be kept
for Any length of time. BY some expe-
riments which have recently been made,
it appears that this acid may be used to
great advantage in embalming and pre-
serving the dead. The body of Mr..
Boardman, senator in Congress from
the state of Connecticut, who died sud-
denly in Ohio, has lately been brought
home in this acid at warm season of
the year, without the slightest appear
ance of putrefaction or any change in
the features. We conversed with the
physician who superintendent the process
of embalming and the transportation OF
the body, and who assured us of the a.
bove mentioned fact. In his opinion
the pyroligneous acid will more than
surpass the Egyptian art in preserving
the dead. Il viii also be OF great use in
anatomical preparations.

n, 6,,t.n;ny ca'tle.-In respect tothe

Some butchers keep pigs for the pur-

animals should be fed on clean food
for at least some weeks before their

That it is lawful, in the eye of God,
to fatten animals, there does not seem

bic of the prodigal son, we hear OF the
fatted calf and, in that of the marriage
supper, of the oxen and fatlings being
killed. In Proverbs, xv.17. though "a
