architectve of the United SfatesDrThe last number of the North American Review contains an article abounding in severe criti- cisms on the prevailing styles of Architecture in the United States. The remark of Mir. Jefferson, forty years ago, that .' the genius of architecture seem to have shed peculiar maledicton over Ameriea,n is believed to be as we'll merted now as when uttered. The architectural faults and follies of his time, says the Review, have indeed passed away, but they have been succeeded by others of a different and more deplorable kind. If bold ness and want of fancy were the bane of that period, the ostentalious meannesso and .sstilted pretentionn of our contemporaries are considered as not whit better.

Dollar Farmer,

PRUNING FRuIT TREEs.--One of the most experienced and judicious farmers of Massa- chusetls, Ibrahim Bartlett, in eommunca- ton in the Massachusetts ploughman, strong
 ly enlorces the advantage of pruning trees after they have commenced growing, say in May i'll this latitude. He says, if two limbs are cut off, one in the winter and the other i'll June, the latter will heal over as much in ten days as the former in three months, and general experience certainly confirms this statement When he takes off large limbs, his practice is to cut the limb off, foot from the body of the tree, in March, (n the latitude of Boston,1 and then in June to cut off the stump. This double pruning we deem un- necessary, and we recommend the farmer not to prune until the growing season is we'll set in. Large limbs should be taken off with a saw, and the wound should be smoothed with a sharp knife Then apply composition of slia' clay and cow-dung. Doltar Farmer,

AN EFFEcrUAL REMEDY AGAINST Ctr WoRMs IN CLOVER GRoUND.--Let your clo- yer get ripe, and leave enough seed on the ground in the fall to seed t well. In the winter or spring, plough your ground before the weather is warm enough to sprout the seed List your ground and plant carly Use no harrow until the corn Is so large that the worms will not hurt it. The clover seed left on the ground will come up before the corn, and will furnish ample pasture for the worms until the corn is out of their reach They love clover better thans corn, especially young clover, and will not eat hill of corn as long as they have clover.
 This mode have tried with entire success. when there were thousands of worms to be seen on the ground. II. s $.

This, he says, will not much injure the wheat or rye.
