EARLY PorAroEs.-The best mode we
ever tried to procure early potatoes is to
spread out these designed for seed on a grass
plate in the garden SO thin that one should
lie upon another-cover them with horse
stable manure three inches thick-then lay
boards or slabs over this to keep it moist
and to prevent the hens uncoverlng the pota-
toes. When the sprouts have started an
inch or two the potatoes should be carefully
taken up and planted in hills. They will ri.
pen two weeks sooner than when the seed is
taken directly from the cellar.

ADVANTAGE OF PLANTING FRUIr Trees ON
observation-disclosures first observed, that
trees pushed their branches in a direction
parallel to the surface of the earth. II a
tree stands on 4 steep it pushes both towards
the hill and towards the declivity; but OF
both sides IL still preserves its branches par.
allel to the surface. As there is an attrac-
ton between the upper surface Of leaves and
light, | am also persuaded, though not equal.
" certain OF it from experiment, that there
is an attraction Of the same nature te-
tween the under surface Of leaves and the
surface OF the earth. This consider the
true cause Of the phenomena. ] had long
observed that the most fruitful orchards and
fertile trees are those planted on a declivity,
and the sleeper it is, though not quite a pre-
cipice, the more fertile they prove. 1t Is
well known that the spreading Of trees al
ways renders them fruitful. On aplain they
incline to shoot upwards; and therefore art
is employed by skilful gardeners, and applied
in various ways, to check their p~erpendicu-
lar and to promote their lateral growth
But this point is obtained on a declivity BY
nature. There a tree loses its tendency to
shoot upwards, and in order to preserve
branches parallel with the surface, 10 con-
strained to put them in a lateral direction
Hence an important rule in the choice Of
orchards and fruit gardens.

INocULATIoN.-Wh Where young planta-
lions of fruit trees are cultivated, it is very
desirable that there should be certainty
as to the fruit the trees will produce-when
planted in the fruit garden or orchard. a
certainty rarely attainable, when trees are
grown to maturity from the seed. The
peach, apple, &c. do not often. from seeds,
give the same fruit as the original tree !;
hence grating or incubation is resorted
to, that no mistake may exist. The philos-
ophy Of budding or incubation is very
plain. While the layer of new wood for
the season is forming, and after the de-
scending juices have become thickened,
the bark readily cleaves ffo1.,he Tree. If,
at the time, bud be carelully cut from
the branch Of another Tree OF the same
species or family, and inserted in an Incl.
sion made in the bark of the one it il
wished to inoculate, it will adhere, become
a part af the tree, and if that Is headed
down, the bud will, in its growth, become
the main stem or the-lree itself In thi;
way the orchardiSt is able to De certain
that he is cultivating the fruit ne wishes
and the nurseryman that he is vending
such trees as are required by his Gus
toners.
Apples, peaches, pears, plums, ounces
and cherries, may be inoculated with sue
cess, if The operation is performed at the
proper time, that is when the bark cleaves
from the tree easily. and the juices have
become of proper thickness. This time
varies with the different varieties OF fruit
Tree IA the best time can be ascertained
mosI certainly by experiments on the trees
Themselves. The months of July anc
August are the best, and i will be found
that nearly all fruit trees may be inooulat'
ed in the course Of July. With budding
as with grating, the nursery is the besI
place, and when pears are budded in
ounce, thorn, or apple stocks. they will
be found to succeed better as fruit bearing
trees, when put in as near the ground as
possible. The bud to be inserted must
! be taken from The last years growth Of
the tree, carefully separated from the
wood so as not to injure the bud in the
least. and inserted in split Of the bark in
the stock In such manner rs to fit close
ia every part. and be well secured with
strips Of bass mating, woollen yam, Of
other substances that will exclude the air,
and confne the bark. Budding is so;easy
a process, and its results so certain, thai
while there is so much room for the i'm.

Dear Friends

Dear Friends !:
The following touching lines were
written, short time since, by a young
lady, in one Of our common schools.
They were suggested by the story. you
may have seen in the Eclectic Reader. OF
a slave who resolved TO obtainthe freedom
OF his mother. After years cftoil, ne had
accumulated the SIM demanded as the
price Of her redemption. But IN TIE
mean time, his mother had grown old,
nor only 50. she had become SICK and
seemed 10 be at the point Of death. His
master therefore, demonstrated with him
saying that it would be no better than
wasting the fruits Of all his labor, for i
could do his mother no good-she would
not live TO enjoy it. Then. cried he. she
shall die free. Yours,
