The APPLE MAN IN 1853.-Mr. N. p.
Morrison, Of Somerville, last year receiv-
ed $40 for one barrel and twenty eight
apples of the Hubbardstone variety
These apples were sold by the retailer at
fifty to seventyfve cents dozen. Mr.
NJ. cultivateS, says the New England Far
mer, eight acres of land; his fruit, this
barren year, 1853, brought him $3.50.
For twenty-six bushels of apples he re-
ceived $50. For one hundred and thirty
six barrels he received $4O8. For straw
berries and raspberries 500. The bal
ance, to make up the whole sum, $3.50,
was for cider apples, sold at from eight
to twelve cents a bushel, and for early
wind-falls sold in July and August. Per-
haps some of our young men will come
to the conclusion that the market for good
fruit IS not yet oyer-stocked. There is
no rural pursuit which pays better than
fruit culture when properly attended to.

REASONABLE HINTs.-Our winters are often
so severe, that not only the supply Of fruit,
but the vigor Of the tree itself, depends in a
great degree upon the rapid growth of wood.
10 assist in this matter, it is an excellent
practice to adopt the stpinching back" pro-
cess, so often referred to in our journal. 1t
consists in pinching off, with the nail of the
thumb and fore finger, the terminal bud or
end OF the summer growing shoot, thus
checking its forward progress, and the sap
thus thrown back, induces greater strength to
resist the hard frosts of winter.
We have found great advantage in this
practice, particularly in the pear and peach.
Without it, the peach needs to be pruned Of
nearly half its past summers growth every
spring, and the same course ought to be pur-
sued with the most vigorous shoots of the
pear. The pinching back process will be
found altogether preferable in the accomplish
ment of this object. Another advantage that
will be attained is, that the symmetrical form
of the growing young tree can, in this man
ner, be best promoteds BY pinchiug back the
most vigorous shoots, and the consequent re-
turn of the sap, the weaker branches will re-
ceive an additional stimulus, and be pressed
forward.
The pear tree can hardly be made to as
sumo pyramidal form by any other system
u n uAunS. Ahe 1eaulnS, central sn0oC, often
needs to be thus checked several times dur
ing the season, and it is so easily done, that
little practice will render it a very pleasant
| one.
The grape should. to a great extent, be
| treated in the same manner. We have known
cultivators of this excellent fruit destroy their
| crop by cutting the vines back to within two
or three joints of the grapes, when the fruit
had grown to the size of a pea or little larg-
J er; thus cutting off the supply Of breathing
