From the American A griculturist-
SPRINa BUDDING OF FRUTI TRErs.-H NAV
not be generally known that fruit-trees can be
budded in the spring as soon a. the bark will
slip with ease, with equally as good success
those done in the usual season.
Spring budding Possesses some advantages,
inasmuch az one years growth Of the bud Is OBJ
tanned in advance of those budding in summer
or fall. Scions cut the previous fall or winter
may be preserved in moss or saw-dust, so as to
perform this operation as late in the season
with safety, can be with the present years
growth Of sciOns. This Is quite a convenience
when scions are wanted from distance, there
10 not so much trouble in preserving them per-
fsctly fresh a. when cut in the leaf.
The only difference necessary TO make be-
twixt spring and fall badding Is, the stock Of the
former should be cut of at the time Of budding,
three OF four inches above the insertion Of the
bud, and coat ef shell-lac or other cement sp-
piled to the stock to prevent decay, and for the
health Of the tree. | think this should be done
in all eases.-Nss0 England Farmer-

experiments which have been made, to be better
adapted to the production Of wheat, than any

age per acre, where wheat has been sown on a
field from which corn has been gathered in the
same season. the land PlOwsd mp, sOwed with
grain, and dragged in with brush, Is twenty
bushels, and thirty bushels has been sometimes
obtained. What would be the product from a
proper and careful cultivation, Is Yet matter
Of estimate only.
In grinding the wheat into -four, the reslda-
um is light bran without middling, and the
average weight per bushsl Is about seventy
pounds. The harvest Is In the month Of May,
which gives a monopoly OF the entire southern
market, at q season Of the year when the nor

dollars per barrel. gives a return Of nearly one
