How 10 Make Barren frees Fruitful

Persons unacquainted with the
physiology of trees, wonder why ia
king i ring Of ! ARK, from The limb Of
a tree that is ba.rrensE will make it
produce frait.( This is owing to the
physiology oGhe vegetable kingdom.
The sap OF plin.s anl trees, ascends
in spiral vessels, commonly called
"rores," forming in its ascent the
aIbumen. or what We commonly call
The sap of the wood, Immediately IN
der the bark, and descends in the
outer bark. 10 stop the sap from
ascending from the roots to the bran
chcs, il is necessary, then, to girdlt
through the sap, or white wood to th'
dark wood. or heart To stop thu
sap from desc ending to the roots, al
that is necessary is TO take the bari
off, without injury to the albumen, o
white woods.
The principle then is, if you sis
to kill tree, cut through the albu
men,or white wood, and stop the sa
from ascending to the branches.
you wish to make it produce frui
take off Il narrow ring of bark, which
preventing the sap from leaving tn
branches, retains it for the benefit
the fruit.-O. Farmer.

buckwheat. 1t continues growing

the first grsitjs are ripe, even after
the lower narEis brown and the leaves
dead. (of course mean the lower
leaves) | am therefore puzzled to
know when it should be cut, as it is
seldom sown here, though it both

the lower or first ripened grains droL
off or do they adhere until cut?

.HyHE Hvdromagen is valuable discovery
for protecting the feet from damp or cold,
and therefore a preventative of many Lung
diseases, without any doctoring whatever--
The Hvciromagen is ih the form OF q sole, and
worn inside the boot or shoe. Its nseetacatea
character is a powerful antidote to disease.
For gentlemen twill be found agreeable,
warm and healthy, to wear in the coolest
or rainiest weather, as the foot cannot become
wet if the Hydromagen is inserted. Ladies
NAV wear the lghtest soled boots or shoes IN
the most inclement weather with IMMUNITY;
while Consumption, so prevalent among tlIe
Young of our country, may be thwarted' by
their general adoption. They entirely super
code orer-slOes, as the latter cause the feet to
perspre in very unhealthy manner; and, be-
sides, are not dangerous wear to pedestrians IN
| icy weather. like India-rubbers. While the
latter causes the feet to appear extremely large,
| the Hydtomagen, being mere thin slce Oh
cork prepared, peculiarly placed inside, does
| not increase the size of the boot, or cause the
foot to appear untdy. TO children they are
extremely valuable, as they may engage IN ex-
ercise with comfort and healthy effects. Their
! expense is so slight as to scarce need mention;
besides, those who patronage them will ind

1t is hard to give precise rule ior
the best time to cut buckw heat. The
cralneontinues to ripen successfully,
and while most of the stalks remain
green or succulent, these grains will
not drop off 1t is therefore best to
let. the crop remain SO long as the a.
mount continues to increase by sue
cessively ripening portions. But as
soon as >the plant loses its fresh ap-
pearance, and the first ripened por-
tions are found to separate easily, no
time should be lost in cutting The
rule with some farmers in the north
is to allow the crop to stand till the
first night frost, and then to cut as
quickly as possible, before the shell
ling process commences. But when
frosts do not come early, it is cut be-
fore. As soon as the stalks are dead
ordry, buckwheat threshes with great
ease. but not before; hence the rea-
son that when but partly dried, 1t is
often found so difficult TO thresh- At
the north, it is usually sown during
the early part Of summer, sometimes
nearly as late as midsummer; il Fown
too early, the grain does not S ct 50
well.
