Soak your secd in a. solution of salt, salt
petre. SCOT and coaperas. made as fol-
lows TO every 10 gallons of boiling
water, add 2 lbs. saltpetre. 4 lbs. of SCOT,
and 2 lbs. of copperas; stir these until
the salts are dissolved, then put il in your
corn, regulating the quantity SO that all
the grains viii be covered As you pLulf,
take out the corn, and drain it in d bas-
ket then prepare mixture of tar and
water. which must be made thus-Ito FIVE
gallons Of boiling water. add pint OF
tar; stir the whole we'll together, and
wheh COOL put your corn into it, and
stir it until all the grains are covered,
then drain, and dry them in plaster or
ashes, when they win be ready for plant
ing. The corn should remain in the first
soak II hours before any of it is planted,
and no more should be taken out any day
than can be planted; the tarring and
plastering should be done Just before the
grain is wanted for planting. No fears
need be entertained of the first soak .des.
troying the vegetative power of the corn,
for week or so. Seed corn, thus pre-
pared. will be protected from birds and
vermiu, while its negotiating powers will
be greatly accelerated. 7. s-s 5y-7-Fz.I

To PRorEcr FRUIT FaoH LATE SPRISo
FResTs.--My friend Major Ruff, who is
. virtuoso. lately informed me that many
years ago he saw it stated in . French
paper, thst by throwing hempen rope
over the top Of a tree, when in bloom, or
near the time Of blooming. and by letting
the lower end touch the ground, the tree
would be tina protested from the infiu-
enee of the frost. This I thought quite
rational and philosophic: ! accordingly
made the experiment. To prove more
fully the naodus 0psrandi, ] took two
dishes, half filed with water. and set
them few feet distant. u7der the tree. on
the night before an expected frost. the tree
being nearly in full bloom. Throwing
one end Of the rope over the top of the
tree, let the other hang in the water Of
one Of the dishes. The event proved the
correctness of the theory. There was a
hard frost on the morning of the 9th
ult, and the dish into which therope was
deposited, contained lee to the thickness
Of dollar, while that in the other dish
was scarcely the thickness of paper. g
The philosophy Of the above exper.
inent is this the rope. which was previ-
ously wetted, was a conductor Of heat |;
the air, and, Of course. the limbs of the
tree, became colder in the night than the
earth-the rope conducted the heat from
the earth to the tree, thus keeping up an
equilibrium, aud preserving the tree from
| frost. h- ..f.-cf sr--- rrb 81
| As far as my observation extends, the
critical time for fruit is long before it is
in blossom; but it is nevertheless true,
that severe and protracted cold. at that
time, or even later. will destroy the fruit
This was the case last year. The fruit
was killed by severe frost after it had
been formed. ~ .zsis. - r.
There is not in my mind doubt that
by attaching rope to each tree Of choice
fruit, and thus letting it permanently re-
main through the Winter and Spring,
the fruit would be secured from the ef-
fects of frost. s-ss. ts-s'o 71a ha. zial
To the incredulous and the supercil-
iouss who balance their grist all their lives
with big stone-who, sufficiently wise,
despise knowledge and instruction, the
above may appear unworthy their atten-
ton. Let such be informed that it is not
less philosophic than lightning rods at
tached to buildings to protect them from
the influence of electricity--let them be
informed that sT t1- s.ls.5 .-seVf.-' s,
s Their, are more thinss In Heaven and Earth
Than are dreamed Of in their philosophy.,tf

.ToNAroEs.-Ifyou wish good crop
Of Tomatoes, start the seed early in March.
in hot bed, and transplant as soon as
the plants are three inches high. into a
moist and warm soil-=the plants four
feet apart each way. As soon as they
begin to branch, let there be cheap
trellis provided, in order to keep vines
and frnit from the soil. A very good
trellis is made simply BY inserting few
upright stakes in the ground, and cross
ing them with common laths or ''edgings''
from the saw-mill, or with light strips OF
boards, or even round poles, sufficiently
firm to support the plants, and prevent
their being broken by the force of the
winds and rains. E3ltH -l,

SrRrNo WHEAT.-Again protesting
against being the advocate ofthis variety
of wheat. we feel it our duty to state to
those who may design to SOW it. that the
sooner it is got in the better. -
Should the winter sown wheat be much
killed out by frosts and thaws, the crop
might be greatly increased. ifspring wheat
were sown on the field and narrowed and
rolled in. as it would ripen in time to be
cut with the fall sown wheat, and would
enhance the Yield. Should any one con-
template such sowing. our advice is, that
they do so as early as, possible.
