MARTINsBURG va WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY IS 1854

to force the sap downwards into tie roots "
ing in warmer medium then, again, when
the frost reached and began acting on them,
the sap was forced back into the trunk !; but
as soon as thaw came on, and tho ground
recovered its heat, the roots, out Of which a
part of the sap had been forced upwar ds,
were again filled by the fluids above them,
and the sap was forced to fall. A large pop
ular tree in the latter state, having been cub
across at the ground line, the surface Of the
stump was found to be dry, but the end, Is
the trunk itself dripped with sar. Sap, thcns
is always in motion, and if il cvcr settles 70
the root in visible manner. tiiaa is owing
to temporary causes, and the renewal Of which
causes its re-assent.
As to the id ca the bleeding Of tree
begins first at the root and 10 corpection with
this supposition, that what issssaed the rise
of the sap is the caase Of the expansion, OF
buds and leaves, and branches, nothing can
DO mere destitute fany real foundation. If
in the spring, when the buds are JUST swell
ing, tree is cut across al the ground line,
no bleeding will take place, neither will the
sap low for some distance upwards, but among
the branches the bleeding will be found to
have commenced. This was observed some
years ago, by Mr.. Thompson, at the time
the Duke Of Portland's gardener, who thought
he had discov cred that the sap Of tees de-
cends in the spring, instead Of ascending; a
strange speculation enough, it mustbe con-
fessed. The fact is, that the sap Is driven
into accelerated motion first at the s.trcnli-
ties Of tree, because it ia there that light
and warmth Grst tell upon the exctcable
buds.
The moment the buds are excited they be-
gin to suck saps from the parts within which
they are in contact to supply the waste 50
produced, the adjacent sap pushes upwards
as the expansion of the leaves proceed, the
demand on the sap near them becomes great
err; quicker motion still, is necessary on
the part of the sap to make good the loss ;
and thus from above downward il that per-
cepiible flow of the fluids Of trees, which we
call bleeding, effected.
The well known fact Of trees sprouting in
the spring, although felled in the autumn,
proves that the sap had not at that time quit
ted the trunk to take refuge in the roots
Such common occurrence should put peo-
pie on their guard against falling into the
vulgar errors on this subject.
