To Renovate Poar Trees.

Where pears arc stunted in their
growth, the bark thick and partial
dead, | would recommend the following s
mc,hod:-Scrape the outer burk well;
take off all the moss and dead bark into
the green or living bark, and wash the
trunk with potash. dissolved in water,
united with soft soap in equal quantities.
Then dig the earth away from the
roots, say three or four inches, and scat.
ter around the space thus dug one OF
two shovclfuls Of manure from the hen
house, according to the size OF the tree.
Throw back the earth, mixing it nj The
same time with the manure; repeat the
operation every spring, and if anything
will cause them to grow, this will.
have found it FAR superior to any other
manure that hnue tried. A few bar.
rowfu!s Of fresh stable manure, thrown
into The hen roost, according to the
quantity OF fowls, will make an excel.
lent manure, when rolted, for this or any
other purpoc. |.

Why Is the Garden More Fertile than
the Field?

The universal answer to this ques-
ton, is, because it is more highly man.
urcd, and therefore has richer soil
This is not always .hc case. But il is
owing TO the fincly.pulveriscd condition
Of the beds, that gives it n highly alb
sorbent power 10 nttrnc, moisture from
the atmosphcre-a source of fertility
That many farmers scarcely Y seem aware
that they possess. If the soil Of tho
field were as carefully worked, and
frcs! cartI, constantly exposed to The nj.
mospherc, as in the wcll-,cnded garden,
tho land would increase. rather .hnn dc.
teriora.e in fertility. Let the rule be,
"Plow deep, cultivate well, pulvcrisc
Jumps and sods, aud return the straw
to the SOIL" aud you may carry of an
immense quantity Of human food, and
still have fertile soil remaining.
Plants, iH their nature, are organised
beings. By means OF their roofs they
take up food from, the soil-aud often,
the very food which the soil has taken
up by its powor Of absorption from the
atmosphere, and which power is incrcas-
cd to an almost Indefinite extent, by dis.
migrating the particles OF which it is
composed. The very net Of plowing
and narrowing, is nn act Of manuring.
The acl Of stirring the earth, in times Of
droIth, serves asa watering Of the
plants. The moisture thus absorbed is
loaded with fcr,ilising power ,hn, is
lost upon hard surface, for i, lacks the
power Of absorption.
If, then, you would have your fields
rs fertile rs garden, you must not dc.
pend alone upon manure, but pulvcrisc
freely, not upon the surface alone, bu,
deep below it--Amcr. AgricnAurist.

Remarks ON Breeding.

AS an illustration Of the effects Of IN
amd.,n breeding, the following instance
is related 10 us us having occurred in
PARTICULAR neigliborhood in this county.
"a farmer Of ID sour, ul,soeial disposition
sWEo MS much MS possible avoided ull in
terconrse with the rest Of the wor d, and
Stunned asking the slightest favor Of q
neighbor, lest he nigh, nj some time be
desired 10 rcciprocne the kindness
shown him, for long series Of years,
bred his cattle entirely from his own
stock. In consequence Of this c1urss,
such n herd Of nIis.shapcn, ungu:n'y,
big headed Quadrupeds were prodrcrd
that they could scarcely be recognised
as belonging 10 the cattle kind; anI
''--'s Wolverines were for long
time the butt Of ri,liculc in the whole
vicinity.
The careful breeder, upon either sys-
tenn, will avoid using, even for single
season, any animal possessing obvious
defects; for such defects, once intro
duccd in but the slightest degree, nre
luble to be transmitted and rcnppcar
even after several generations have
passed. TO the many curious and val
liable facts already on record rcla,ir q
