AGRICULTURAL,


The lovers of this excellent fruit will be
grati6ed to learn that it may be cultivated
in our climate with little expense and la
Dor. During late visit to the garden of
EliphaIet Averill, Esq. of this city, We
were presented with fig, plucked direct
IL from the tree, and Of flavor the most
delicious. Mr.. A. informed US that for
ten years he had been experimenting on
the cultivation of the fig, and that he had
finally succeeded in preserving the tree
and bringing the fruit to~perfection. He
also kindly gave us a statement Of the
method, which we lay before our readers
in the hope, that at least some Of them
will be induced to try the experiment, as
we have no doubt Of its complete success.
The fig tree Is propogated By means OF
layings and cuttings-if the latterare used
they should be at least one foot long.
The method of Mr.. A. is as follows
He lays downthe branches in June, whic
form roots and grow luxuriantlv. I'm.
mediately after the leaves fall off in all.
tumn, and before hard frosts destroy their
vitality, he lays them down and covers
them with earth to the depth of nearly a
foot. In order that part of the roots may
retain their original position in the earth
and be ready to furnish nourishment early
the ensuing spring, he loosens the roots on
one side of the tree and leaves those on
the other misunderstanding care thai
those, loosened are not mutilatcd or other.
wise injured. He then bends the branche.
over the roots that are left in the ground
fastens them with pegs and covers both
roots and branches with mellow earth L
the depth above stated. In this condition
he leaves them till the middle Of MAY, OF
the first of June, according to the forward
ness or backwardness Of. the season, an(
then uncovers them-sets them upright
and supports them with props to skeeI
them in a right position. By repeating
this process every winter he has succeed
ed in preserving his trees I'LL they ihast
attained good size, and produce fruit il
perfection and abundance. 80
THE fig tree in tropical climates bass
constant succession Of crops In Geor
gia it yields three crops, and in New
England. in good seasons, it will produces
two. When the figs are half, or tw'
thirds grown, they cease growing an

to maturity. To facilitate their. ripening
a drop Of olive Oils put upon their bios

While improvements arc being made
in almost every department OF Literature,
one very important branch Of education
seems to be overlooked. 1t Is that of
short hand tcriting. But very few know
the value of this Science. 1t is simple,
easily learned, and when learned nigh
ty engine for the accumulation and pres
ervatlon of useful knowledge, 1t disci.
pines the mind, cnlarges the intellectual
faculties, and improves the memory.
The mechanical motion Of the pen is SO
much abridged, that not more than one
tenth part of the time and labor is necessa-
ry in writing discourse, as in the COM
mon hand writing. The minister who
spends ten hours in writing discourse
for the pulpit, may write, with ease, the
same discourse in one hour, Ill short
hand,
If this be true, he throws away nine
tenths Of his time, and more, for he can
write a much better discourse in shorI
hand, than in the common hand writing
The reasons are perfectly obvious in tn,
CO nmon hand writing, the Imagination j:
trammelled and fettered by befng compel
Led to wait for the hand but in short hant
this difficulty is completely removed
Now let this time. which is worse thar
thrown away, be devoted to some valua
Bile purpose and the amount Of good which
be may have accomplished is beyond al
human computation. Let every 2rofes
sional man become acquainted with thi
art, and the amount Of time and labor say
ed by it would be astonishing.
: These statements may be consilere
erroneous but know them >to be COZ
rect, from the nature Of the science, from
my own experience. from the united test
Emony of hundreds of indefnigable stenoe
raphers. The opinion is almost uniye1
sal that stcnography is Of no service t
any but the reporter Of speeches; but n
opinion is more rnfounded; the profes

purpose almost every day Of his life. MAJ
