Raising Fruit Trees.

This is one of the most important of the
farmers duties and one in the execution of
which he can rely but little on the experience
Of the generations which, in this country, have
been before him
As to the value Of fruit trees. as source of
profitable income all doubt has long since
vanished Fruit in great varieties may be
proftablv raised for home consumption, and the
market is always OPEN and seldom refuses pay
ing profit. y single orchard may fail-or a
single variety of frut-but this luxury the
people will have, cost what it may. Apples,
pears, ounces, plums, goosebcrries, peaches,
blackberricS, cherries, grapes, and even walnuts
always find a market.
We know that orchards dcteriorates, but
still apple trees live quiet as long as their
owner Fruits detcrioratc but this process
is very slow, and the new varieties take the
place Of those run out The NewtOWn pppin
has been standard fruit for one hundred and
fifty years, aud is now as good as ever. The
Baldwin apple has stood among the first
varieties for more than one hundred years If
we are not mistaken some of these kind are
still III bearing order. One pear tree, at least,
is known, which is over two hundred years old
the Endicott pear tree in Massachusetts /;
and we are told by Mr. Proctor, that another,
eighty years old, has recently made twelve or
eighteen inches of wood in one season. The
golden pippin was commended as early as $50,
and has ever since retained its high rank
Surely this is sufficiently permanent for
a generation found to extend only thirty years.
But besides we'll known fruits, new varieties
may be produced of equal value and this de-
partment need be limited among the scientific
fruit growers no more than the care of an old
orchard Indeed, this latterneeds more science
than the originating of new fruit. There isl no
magic known only to few, which will ever
tend in these experiments to insure peculiar
success.
Plant your nurseries, grow your trees, and
try your chance among the rest. One new
valuable fruit will pay for fifty uilurcs.-Pl0m

LIME WATER IN MAKING BREAD.-In bread
making, the vinouS fermentation sometimes
passes into the acid, thus rendering the bread
sour and disagrceable Leibig has lately per-
formed a series of experiments to improve the
preparation Of bread, from which he comes to
the conclusion, that the only effective and in
nocuous means of improving the qualities of
wheat and rye bread is lime water Inmaking
dough he advises one pint Of clear lime water
to be used for every five pounds of -four. The
lime water is first added to the flour, after
which a sufficient quantity of common water is
added to work the whole into good common
dough-the leaycn being mixed with water can
be prepared by stirring some quick lime in a
vessel containing pure cold water, then allowing
the sediment to settle. The clear is then
poured off and kept in bottles for use. No
care is required respecting the quantity Of
lime, to be stirred in the water, as it will only
take up certain quantity Of lime and no more
Those who use saleratus (bicarbonate of soda)
in the rising of bread are recommended to
cease its use, and employ pure bakers yeast
and little lime water. Our bones are com
posed of the phosphate of lime, and those who
use fine -four require for their health little
more lime than is contained in the food Cream
of tartar and carbonate of soda are inferior to
common yeast for making healthy bread

How TO PREVENT THE PoTATOE RoT.-While
there are many physicians and antdotes to re-
store to health the ills which flesh is heir to,
there seems to be none, or have been none to
cure and eradicate that dire and mysterious
disease consequent upon one of the best and
cheapest productions of the farmer-the pota-
toe. Though the potatoc rot has baflcd the
skill and research Of many scientific persons,
yet the means for its prevention is very cheap
and simple. The moduS opcrandi which | have
found so efficient in the restoration of this
valuable esculent, is as follows In the spring,
as early as may be, planted my potatoes in
hills OF drills, on tolerable dry light land, with
a common tablespoonful of unslacked lime to
each hill. When they are we'll up, that is,
when they begin to unfold their leaves, say two
inches high, | put upon them spoonful of
common salt, and then hoe them, 10y placing
around and over them good fine soil to the
depth of five or six inches This is what /
call sailing down" In due time they will
again come up when they will grow healthfully
and vigorously till the time for digging them
up comes when there will be many large pota-
toes in each HILL The philosophy of this pro-
cess-is evident to amy one who is possessed with
"a scientific knowledge Of Nature and her laws

PoNrs OF CATTLE-Finly Dunn, in an essay
in the Journal Or the Royal Agricultural
Society, gives the following as the external
marks which cattle should posses, that they
may produce a healthy and vigorous progeny ::
The head small, muzzle fine and taperng,
nostrls large and open, the eyes full and
llstrouS, ears small, and not too thick, the head
we'll set on the neck, the distance between the
cars and the angle of the Jaw short, but the
width behind the ears considerable, (no dairy
cow should have q short thick neck.) The
chest wide and deep; the girth, taken imme-
diately behind the shoulder should closely
correspond with the length from behind the ear
to the rise Of the tail the carcass Of barrel
shape, for thin fiat ribbed animal eats largely,
thrives badly, and is usually liable to d.arrhua
there should be little space between the promi-
nence of the hip and the last rib, the quarter
large, the measurement Of the prominence of
haunch backwards to the tail, and downwards
to the hook, as great as possible the hide
thick and plant, smallnpss of bone is o sure
indication Of early maturity and aptitude for
fattenng.
