A New Fact in Grating.

The better process generally for working
cherries and plums, is TO bud or inoculate At
the proper season but 1t often happens that
II is desirable to work trees too old, or the
season - dry that the bark will not slip,
and the budding process cannot be perform
ed, in which case grating becomes imPor.
tant.
The grating Of the cherry is quite an
uncertain operation, and never succeeds well
except when performed carly in the spring,
aud the scions, which are difficult to keep,
arc fresh and in good order, the bark is -
liable TO discolor, and tho wood 10 shriyel,
which is absolutely fatal to its vitality. Tho
same trouble applies to the plum in a les
degree. Individuals, not nurserymcn, are
apt 10 ncglec, cutting their sciols in proper
time, and are only sensible VI the oversight
when they observe the objects they wish to
alter at the opening Of 'Prius when it is too
late.

means whereby a scion Of any lind may b.
cut from tree alter the buds Lrc fully OK
Tandcd, but not opened, and grated tho
same minute, and which almost invariably
succeeds, il properly eIccutcd. In this pro.
ccs' I prefer the terminal point Of limb for
the scion, or any part may be scd by cut
ting the wood close to the upper bud, and
dipping il twice, with two or u rec minutes
interval, into a vial contain ns small
quantity OF coRodioH, or aHif1a! outris,

Il instantly forms an air-tight ,oatins, both

There is no time Of year, wien the new

thi. process may b. performed, in which
case have but one bud on the s'ion, and dip
the whole wood, except the wdsc, in the

that one has single choico cIo,ic, difficult

in grating, and this method alm's, inialli-

How To START MELoNs. \ correspondent
Of the Country Gentleman gives the follow
ing plan for his purposo -" My plan for
obtaining early plants, is, to construct a
rude basket or wicker.wurk OF willow or
other twigs, something like binds nest
without the inside filing UP Make a hole
in the soil Of the hot-bed Of sufficient si'e To
admit the basket, I'LL up, plant and cover
the seeds, rake, and smooth tho surface.
When the weather is warm enough, and
sufficiently settled to admit of outside plant
ing, make my hills, ana liit the little oas'
kets containing the plants, and carefully re-
move them to their places, where they quickly
strike through the open network OF the has
ket into mother earth, and soon repay all
trouble for giving them a start IN the
world"
