COMPOST FOR FRUIT-TREES.

Ffull-trees must be fed, if we would have
them thrive and bear. Decaying leaves, or
the scraping from the forest, form one of the
best ingredients for compos. designed for
any kind of ffuil-trees. Mr.. Downing, a
distinguished fruit culsuris,, and editor OF
the HorlcnIturist, gives it as his opinion
that the best compost adapted for general
use, with frult-trees, is that composed OF
swamp muck, or the black decayed vegetable
matter to be obtained from low grounds
mixed with wood ashes, at the rate Of five
bushels OF fresh ashes to wagon load
This furnishes not only the requisite yrge

MEDITERRANEAN WHEAT.

This wheat was introduced into the coun-
try chiefly on account Of lis peculiarly in
resisting the attack of The IIessisn fly. Its
value in this respect arose from the sheath
adhering very closely to The stem, which
prevented the young worms from obtaining
lodgment where they would injure the
plant. Besides this advantage, however, the
Mediterranean wheat proved to be valuable
in this county on account of its escaping
the heat-mdge (''weevil.") Its exemption
from injury from this insect is owing TO its
earliness-,he grain being generally ont OF
the way by the time the fly makes its ap-
pearance. 1t is variety that generally
yields well, and is heavy in proportion to
It's measure. But an objection to j, has been
that the millers were unwilling 10 pay as
much for II, by four 10 sx'cents per bushel,
as for the achiie whea,s-the Mediterranean
being light red variety. Some experiments
show that this wheat is not only highly
nulri'Ive quality, blu, that it is capable of
making excellent -four VIM. Craig states
in the Michigan Farmer lha, he had sixteen
barrels of superfne flour made from seven
ty-five bushels of this kind of wheat, being
at the rate Of a barrel TO four bushels and
forsy-one pounds. He says he sold some
OF 1t to respectable baker in Detroit, with
out letting him know what kind of wheat
it was made from, and requested him to say
how he liked it. In few weeks he receiv-
ed line from the baker, saying, "The flour
like very much-how can | get more of
1t? Ihink IL is the best L euer had." MIR.
&. says neighbour told him ,ha, it took as
much liquid to ''wet up" two loaves from
the flour of Mediterranean wheat, as it did
TO make three loaves from the white-hint.

AN INDIAN BREAKFAST.

On the l7th we were padding along a,
day light. On putting ashore for break fast
four Indians on horseback Joined us. The
moment they alghted, one set about hob
bling the horses, another to gather small
sticks, a third to make fire, and fourth
10 catch fish. For this purpose the fisher
man cut of bit of his leather skirt, abou,
the size Of a bean then pulled out two OF
three hairs from his horses tail for a line
tied the bit Of leather 10 one end of it. in
the place Of a hook or fly. Thus prepared
he entered the river little way, sat Down
on stone, and began throwing the small
fish, three or four inches long, on shore.
just as fast as he pleased; and while thus
employed, another picked them up and
threw them towards the fire, while the third
stuck them up around in a circle, on small
sticks, and they were no sooner up than
roasted. The fellows then sitting down,
swallowed ihem-heads, tails, bones, fins
and all-in no time, Just as one would swsl-
low the yolk of an egg. Now all was bu,
the work Of few minutes; and before our
man had his kettle ready for the fire, the
Indians were already eating their breakfast.
When the fish had hold of The bit Of leather
or bait, their teeth had got en,sngled in it,
so as to give him time TO jerk them OH shore
which was to Hs a new mode Of angling :;
fire produced by tw bits Of wood, was also
a novelty but what surprised US most of
all, was the regularity which they proceed
ed, and the quickness of the whole process
which actually took them less time than i.

When quite Stacked, dissolve in water
two pounds Of SUI phate of zinc, (whi!e Wit

Add sufficient water to bring it to the con-
sistence of wh,e-wash This wash is Of
course white, and as white is color which
we think should never be used except upon
buildings good deal surrounded by trees,
so as to prevent its glare, we would make
it fawn or drab color before using it.
To make the above wash pleasing cream
color add lbs. yellow ochre.
For fawn color take 4 lbs. lumber, lb.
Indian red, l2 ID. lampback&
To make the wash grey or stone color.
add one pound raw umber and two pounds

The color may be put on with COM

This wash is improved by The addition Of
peck Of white sand stirred in Just before
