From the Connecticut Farmers Gazette
New Method Of Grating Apple Trees

p,aott the seed in rows at a suitable distance from
each other, and the hills say about live feet apart
ao each row. But one tree should be suffered 10
~rov in a place. Now when the young tree Is sui
6c;ently grown, in the spring of the second or
shird year, any quality OF fruit may be grated IN
to Il in the following manner: First, bend the tree
over and obtain for it firm resting place, either
on a block OF board resting on the knee' (aiter II
h.. been diyested Of its branches,) and with
,<oat sharp-ponted knife, pierce holes directly
,brouph the centre Of the tree, about live inches
apart. into which the scions are to be introduced
leaving above, two or three buds. trench IS
chen to te dug, in direct line between the trees
.bout four inches deep, and the whole tree bent
down and buried, leaving the tops OF the scions
.b,ve ground. In this new condition, the scons
hecome uniformly thrifty young trees, supported
and nourisbed from the buried tree, lrdm which
;ssue. in due time, roots from Its entire length
The second year from this operation, the Whole
parent tree may be dug up, the new growth saw
ed apart, and transplanted. 1t will thus be seen
that II the tree is FIVE feet in height, ten or twelve
xopop trees, Of whatever quality is chosen, may
BE obtained in this way, whereas by the ordinary
method Of grating, there could be but one, provi-
d.d ths graftIiyed The young scion will bear fruit
chm. ,ranspanted, in the same time it would had it
l,eeu grated into tree fifteen years old
.know not whether this process IS new among
,our AGRICULTURAL community at the tn; but !
have repeatedly witnessed it in Georgia and Ala
bams, and have been informed by some OF the
best horcuIurists in those states. that it is always
successful. Youfs. respectfully,

'AGRICUL II u r A l..
Wintering Sheep.

= II il prevalent notion among mnay OF our far-
mers that sheep need no protection during VIM
ter. and willnot do well if confined to yards. The
esntrary is the fact; and although it is better, per-
haps, to give sheepmore exercise than other STOCK
especially the Merino and South-Down breeds,
vet they do very well in small yards, and require
Al least the protection of rooted sheds, open only
on one side, and when it SHOWS, such as can be
closed all around The seets and rains of a north
<rn climate, during the months of March and
April, are worse for sheep than the SHOWS oi WIN
ter. Snow they easily shake off, and leave their
fieeces dry; not SO with the rain This penetrates
Ia the skin Of all but The Merino breeds, and su-
ueradded to the drenching overhead, when not
protected, they are obliged to stand orle down
on cold, wet ground, than which, nothing can be
more pernicious for sheep.
To prove that sheep will do well in much clo-
ser wards than they are usually accustomed to be
KENT in, when we were in Orange county, Mr..
Pelton, Of Montgomery, showed US his sheep
barn. 20 feet by 4s, the under story OF which he
devoted for shelter to flock of 20 sheep On the
south side Of this yard also 20 feet by 4s, boar

Hare Mr.. Pelton has kept his sheep Tor two win
aers. allowing them to go out twice day to drink
At spring short distance from the ward. He takes
care to salt them regularly, and feed them well;
and says, with this treatment, his flock has WIN
tered better than he ever knew it to do before.
We saw the sheep, and their appearance corrobe-
Il. d .iI If II been
proyed by repeated experiments, that sheep, when
sheltered, keep on much less food than when lett

My experience has confirmed me in the opinion,
that in our latitude fall planting for the peach is
hetter than spring. if set on dry ground; and they
should be placed on no other. hw
On the 9th, 9th, 9Th and 9th Of November last,
set in the orchard one thousand five hundred,
worked on budded peach trees; and now. on ex-
arnining them, find that all are alive but ten; the
trees are not only alive, but are making good
grpwth, SO that the rows can be seen half mile.
Ihave six hundred peach trees. which have been
in the orchard from three to five years, the most
of which were transplanted in the fall with success
equal to those set last Autumn.
The manner, of preparing The ground, and treat.
ment of those set last fall, has been as follows
The field was sowed to buckwheat last season; af
ter that was harvested straight furrows were plow
ed one rod apart, then burrows were run the othei
way the same distance; where the furrows crossed
ed each other was a mark for tree, and the plow
ing assisted in digging the holes. The roots were
set no deeper than the plow run; they were hllet
up little more than would be required for spring
planting.
Early in the spring they were examined. to see
whether all had kept their position. and If the iros
had started any during the winter they were atten
ded to. About the middle of June each raw was
plowed, the same as row of corn, with two
horse team, having short whifflelree for the of
side horse; two men followed the plow and hoed
each tree.
The ground has since been plowed clean and
sowed to buckwheat, but none allowed to grow
within two feet of the trees. ....
This field occupies high and bleak position
front being level eminence, the balance slopinl
north and west. E. q. FROST.

From the Cultivator


Persons of limited experience differ in their
opinions, as to the relative advantage OF Spring
and Fall for transpsnting trees, while the most
experienced fruit growers prefer the Fall for all
hardy kinds. @
some believe that the apple. pear, plum, &C.,
can be moved with the least i'jory in the Fsli;
while the peach and apricot will succeed best ~
the spring. Mr.. Downing says. in relation to the
pe.ch. ..norh Of New Yok, i is better sIwaysto
make plantations IN the Spring. South of that
limit, il may usually be- done with equal adyan-
lsxsin Autumn"
